Day Sixty-One…
~~*****~~
Dave received Helena's invitation. Since Vincent was mentioned, Dave couldn't say no to her. After dropping home, Dave headed to the hotel where Helena was staying. Vincent and Helena were already waiting in the restaurant of the hotel.
"What is your plan? Do you mind sharing it with me?" Vincent asked Helena. He didn't know what was running in her mind. What kind of scheme is she plotting against Abigail?
Helena just giggled while leaning her head on his shoulder. They were sitting next to each other. "Babe, are you worried about Dave getting hurt?"
"Of course not. I became his sponsor so that I can use him whenever I want." Vincent replied, a sly smirk appearing on his face. "I'm just curious about your plan. If something wrong happens, I can clear the mess for you."
Helena pouted her lips as she gazed at him. "Mess up? That's not in my vocabulary. My plan is always foolproof."
Vincent let out a soft chuckle. "Foolproof? It's because of me… my execution," Vincent proudly said.
Helena could only cup his face and gave him a peck. She truly loved this cunning man. He was so wise. "I'm glad you're mine."
"Cough! Cough!" Dave let them know of his presence. The two were displaying their affection in public.
Vincent and Helena turned to the direction of his voice. Dave finally arrived at the restaurant. "Am I interrupting something?" Dave asked them while smiling awkwardly.
"Oh no! You are not. Sit down." Helena invited him, motioning for him to sit down on the opposite chair.
"We are glad you make it," Vincent greeted him.
Dave smiled at him before sitting down.
"How's your trip? Did you enjoy it?" Helena couldn't hold her curiosity. She wondered what happened to their trip together with Abigail and Nathan.
Dave couldn't contain her happiness as he recalled his moment with Abigail. "I have fun. Abigail's memory returns. She can remember me, including you."
Both Vincent and Helena fell silent when they heard that. They exchanged meaningful looks with each other.
'She regained her memory. Does it mean she also recalls our secrets?' Helena mused to herself. This was what she was afraid of.
Vincent just held her hand as if telling her to calm down. Helena tried to conceal her worries as she continued to gather information from Dave.
"Now that she regained her memories, did she say anything to Nathan?"
The smile on Dave's face disappeared when Nathan was mentioned. "No. She can't remember him."
"Eh? What do you mean?" Helena became more intrigued.
"She remembers me but she forgets about Nathan." Dave heaved a deep sigh.
Helena's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"Then why do you look sad?" Vincent asked Dave confusedly. He should be rejoicing because Abigail remembered him and she forgot about Nathan.
"I just feel sorry for him. I can understand his feelings because I underwent the same experience. Abigail had forgotten me. And I know how it felt to be forgotten by the woman you love." Dave explained to them.
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk," Helena shook her head while clicking her tongue. "You are such a kind man, Dave. Don't be a martyr, okay? Nathan Sparks doesn't need your pity. He is the CEO of SYP Twilight Corporation… a handsome, rich, and powerful bachelor in this country."
Vincent gave Helena a warning look. She was being carried away by her emotions. When she saw his warning gaze, Helena suddenly kept quiet.
"So, did you talk with Abigail? She got involved with Nathan. Did she know about that?" Vincent asked him.
Dave nodded his head. "Yes. We talked. She also learned about her relationship with Nathan. But she ended things with him. She chose me." There was a faint smile on his lips when he said those words.
Helena arched her eyebrows while observing Dave. "Ahuh. So she chose you over the rich and powerful CEO. That must be true love!" An evil smirk flashed on her face.
"Yes. I felt so relieved when Abi chose me. I also feel grateful. We love each other. And I'm going to propose to her. I don't want to lose her anymore. I think it's time for us to settle down and live together." Dave felt so hopeful. He was looking forward to building a family with Abigail.
"I'm happy for you, Dave. Go for it! If you need my help, maybe I can help you with your marriage proposal. You should make it so special. Do you want me to book a hotel or a restaurant for you?" Vincent offered him some help.
Dave gave him a grateful look but he needed to refuse that. "Thanks, Vince. I truly appreciate it. But I want to do it by myself."
"Okay. But if ever you need my help, don't hesitate to tell me."
Ring! Ring!
Their conversation was interrupted when Dave received a call from Abigail. He immediately answered it. Dave's expression changed as soon as he heard Abigail's voice. She sounded so distressed. She informed him about what happened to her father.
"Guys, I'm sorry. But I have to leave." Dave stood up, feeling worried. He heard the news about Mr. Hiroshi's accident. He needed to come and be with Abigail's side.
"Did something happen?" Helena asked him.
"Yes. Abigail's father got into an accident. I should go."
The two didn't stop Dave. They just watched him leave the restaurant.
"Hmm. Are you happy, Babe?" Helena asked Vincent, anchoring her arms around his waist.
"Happy? Why?" Vincent didn't know why she asked him that question.
"Because Abigail chose Dave. It only means Nathan is heartbroken again." Helena smiled broadly.
Vincent grinned and bobbed his head. "Of course, his misery is my joy."
The two clanked their wine glasses for a toast.
"I think I got a new plan…" Helena said after taking a sip from her wine glass.
"What is it?" Vincent asked.
"I love making a woman cry and suffer emotionally… I think… I just found the right punishment for Abigail. I can't wait to see her broken. I'll do that first before killing her." There was a hint of excitement in her eyes.
"Alright. Do what you want. If this will make you happy then I'll support you." Vincent wrapped his right arm around her waist, dragging her body closer to him.
"I need the profiles of Dave's colleagues." Helena held Vincent's chin as she pulled his face closer to hers.
"Okay. I'll ask someone to send it to you," Vincent promptly responded.
"Thanks, Babe!"
"Let's go back to my room. I'm in a good mood now. I want you," Helena whispered in his ears.
Vincent could only chuckle. "You are tempting me again, Sweety." Vincent's forefinger traced her wet kissable lips.
Helena parted her lips and bit his finger. "I'm not tempting you, Babe. I'm just hungry for you. I'm craving for you." Helena placed her hand over his pants, gently rubbing his crotch. Vincent bit his lips, trying to hold his groan.
Then he grabbed her wrist, preventing her from teasing him further. "Alright. Let's go to your room now."
Helena burst out laughing since she could see the lust in Vincent's eyes. She had awakened his desire.
