WANTED BY THE BILLIONAIRE I BETRAYED

Helena glanced at Nicole when Nicole asked that question and immediately her phone beeped. She checked her phone to see that it was a text message from the anonymous contact who had been texting and calling her since the previous day.

"I think I have somewhere to be," Helena said to Nicole in a calm voice.

" I thought as much as Lena, I can see how unsettled you are" Nicole announced.

" Unsettled?" Helena asked with a look of surprise on her face. She had no idea she was looking unsettled. Parts of her wanted to go and help this fellow but she was scared because she did not know who he was and what he wanted her to do for him.

The world's crime had increased and she did not want to be a victim to some bad predator.

" Yes you look very unsettled Helena, I have always told you not to worry about your mother she will be fine. She is a strong woman and I am sure that she will come out of this stronger" Nicole said with a tone of concern.

Helena smiled broadly when Nicole said that to her. Her words felt strangely like therapy and it seemed to be all she needed at that time.

She had been thinking very much about her mother's health and she was scared because she did not want to lose the only person she had left in the world.

Five years ago she had lost her younger sister and that situation seemed to be what started the illness for her mother. Her mother was very healthy and she was working as a nurse in the general hospital but she stopped working when the illness became too serious and she could no longer go to work.

" Nicole, have I ever told you how much I love you?" Helena acts with a broad smile on her face.

She felt happy because Nicole always had a way of making her smile whenever she was having a gloomy day. They were not so close as friends, they only met at the coffee shop every day she came to work but Nicole had managed to gain a spot in a heart that made her very special.

" Oh dear, must I tell you I love you too. Now you need to hurry and go see your mother, I will cover up for you. You shouldn't be wearing that gloomy look on a beautiful day like this" Nicole said to Helena and Helena nodded her head in appreciation.

" I will always remember this," Helena said as she took off the apron and the tag that was pinned to her dress.

Immediately she stepped out of the coffee shop, her phone suddenly began to ring again.

It took Helena about 5 seconds before she picked up the call. She placed the phone slowly to her ear as she waited for the caller to say something first.

"Helena Kent" The unfamiliar voice called out her name from the other end of the phone.

" Look stranger, I wish I could help you but I do not know you, and wait. How did you know my name?" She asked when she suddenly remembered that he had just called her full name.

" Do not worry about it Helena, some things are not difficult to get" The male voice said.

" Why are you calling me?" Helena asked with a tone of curiosity.

" I explained the reason I have been trying to reach you for a very long time yesterday and you said you were going to think about it, I was expecting that you were going to at least respond to my so many text messages," The male voice said.

" That is the problem, Mister, I do not know who you are, how do you expect me to treat you like someone I know?" She asked him.

She was standing outside the coffee shop, right beside the signpost that read "Best Cafe In Town". Unbeknownst to her, Nicole was watching her from the shop as she answered that call.

Nicole had noticed the strangeness in Helena as she spoke to the person on the phone. She was acting weird as if she was scared, occasionally glancing behind her to see if someone was watching.

" What if I tell you Helena that this is not just about you helping me?" The male voice said.

" Then be specific with your explanations, what else is in here?" Helena asked.

" We are going to be signing an agreement in both our favor and I guarantee you that you can leave if you want to, " The voice said.

" An agreement about what?" Helena asked.

" Stop being too curious Helena. Just show up at the address I sent to you a few minutes ago and you'll find me there" The voice said.

" You mean now?" Helena asked.

" It came to my knowledge that you are free now and you might not be so free after now," He said again.

Helena was silent For some seconds. She knew that whoever this person was he had more knowledge about her than she thought.

" Fine, I'll meet you at the address but," She said and took a pause.

" But what?" The voice asked.

" We will be speaking outside the bar, I will not come in," She said with an authoritative tone.

"Anything you want," The voice replied.

The call ended and Helena let out a sigh. She glanced at the coffee shop again and noticed Nicole coming out of the door.

" Hey Helena, is everything okay? Was that the doctor you were speaking to?" Nicole asked as she stared at her warmly.

"Yes, I was speaking to the doctor. He had a few things to report about my mother's condition but it's fine, I'll go and see him now" Helena said and flagged down a taxi.

Helena was pacing outside the bar, glancing around to see if she would find anyone who looked like the person who had been calling her but she didn't.

"I knew you would come," The voice said and Helena turned around immediately.
