HIS HIDDEN AGENDA

About an hour later,

Helena, Beverley, Orion and Jimmy comes out with trays.

They lay down the trays and place the cooked dishes.

' Something smells tempting ' Leo says as he licks his lips.

' Common everyone let's have a late dinner ' Helena says.

Tiffany, Stella,Leo,Jack, Bianca, Adam and Aiden goes to the dining.

' Wow!! you guys made all these in such a short time.' Bianca says.

They were Fried chicken and fish, Curried rice, salad, Porridge, Soup, Carrot stew, chocolate pudding, icecream, cupcakes and cookies.

' How are we going to finish all these??' Tiffany asks. ' Leave that to us' Beverley replies.

They all sit. Tiffany felt it was a chance to gain some attention. They were so many handsome men at the table. She had lowered her dress and it revealed part of the big flesh on her chest.

Stella was no different. She also wanted to be noticed. She could already imagine herself in bed with one of them.

Helena and Beverley sat in the middle of Jeremy and Orion. Helena faced Aiden while Beverley faced Adam. Bianca was next to Adam with Jack by her side. The Manchester Sisters sat next to their brother who was next to Orion.

Jeremy and Orion silently placed food on Beverley and Helena's plate.

' Helena no salad, you are already too thin. Have more chicken ' Jimmy says.

' Helena eat dessert after your meal' Orion says.

' Helena have some carrot stew, it is good for your skin'

' Helena it slowly so you won't choke.' Jimmy says.

' You three are bullying me. Let me eat in peace ' Helena complains with a pout.

Jimmy takes away her cutlery and says ' I am sorry. Let me feed you. My Helena is already very thin, eat more ' He begins to feed Helena who opens her mouth as though she is used to it.

' The heavens are so unfair! Helena you are very pretty, your friends are also good looking and very caring. While me, I am deadly handsome, with blockheaded and evil friends. What is your secret??' Leo says.

' What can I say?? I am very lucky to have found them. On the other hand, your friends are lucky to have found you.' Helena replies.

' *sigh* if only my Sisters had a lovely tongue like yours. I am very sure they would have sided with Aiden and Adam. ' Leo laments dramatically. ' No need to be sad! Helena Homerna is at your service.' Helena smiles.

' Very good! Now I am your Big brother and you are my little sister. Okay?' Leo says.

' Of course big brother ' Helena replies.

' Now ask your friends especially this pretty one to take care of your big brother ' Leo says glancing at Beverley.

' Big brother are you flirting with my friend??' Helena says. ' Yes. And you are meant to help me. ' Leo says.

Beverley smiles and says ' Isn't it weird to flirt with my best friend's brother??'

' Of course not. in fact she gives us her blessings. Right little sis?' Leo says. ' Right ' Helena replies. ' Miss Beverley Khurana, are you trying to run away from me??' Orion chips in.

' No. I totally forgot. You will have to contact my boss' Beverley replies.

' Dude don't make things difficult for me. Bro code. I can even give you one of my sisters. Or should I give you all three of them ' Leo says.

' Tempting offer but Mr Jennova will skin me alive if I engage in a trade for his Helena. I love my life ' Orion replies.

' Big brother, you want to give me away. I am heartbroken ' Helena whines.

' No no. I can't do that. ' Leo replies.

' Because I am your little sister and you love me?' Helena asks. ' No. I also love my life' Leo replies.

Despite the jovial environment, some were quietly seething.

Tiffany who had been trying to gather attention felt petrified. All discussion led to Helena.

Helena! Helena! Helena! What did Helena have that she didn't. Stella shared the same thought as her sister. She pretended she choked and started coughing but at the same time Helena also coughed.

Aiden, Adam, Leo, Jack, Bianca, Beverley, Orion and Jimmy held up their glass of water for Helena. Jimmy feeds his water to Helena and the others drop their glasses.

Stella went red! Nobody noticed that she coughed.

After dinner, the four friends stack the empty dishes and took them away.

Orion nearly bumps into a lady. He looks up.

' I am sorry ' They both say. ' Let me help you with that' The lady says. ' It's okay!!' Orion replies. He stares at the lady's dark eyes and Is lost in them.

' Orion ' Helena says and she sees him standing there.

' Oh hi! Kelly. I see you met my friend. Orion this is Kelly Anderson and Kelly this is Orion Antonio.' Helena says.

' Nice to meet you ' Orion says.

' Nice to meet you too' Kelly replies.

Orion leaves with Helena.

AIDEN'S ROOM

Adam enters without knocking (as usual),

' What is it now Adam?' Aiden asks.

' Why did you invite them to stay? I know you well. You aren't that hospitable.' Adam replies.

' Helena got seriously injured. I just thought she would feel better if she was with friends ' Aiden replies. ' Since when did you become so thoughtful??' Adam asks.

' Since when did you become a detective?' Aiden retorts. Adam stares at Aiden and then leaves.

Aiden smirks. Of course he wasn't that hospitable to turn his house into a hotel for some strangers. He had his hidden agenda.

Yes he wrongly accused Miss Homerna of being a thief, but she wasn't completely innocent.

There was something strange and mysterious about that woman and he was going to find out.

For that, he needed her to be off guard.

What better way for her to be off guard than her being with close friends that she missed. Miss

Helena Homerna, Watch out! I am coming for you. He leaves his room.

*** Sitting room.

The Ferocious Four had just cleared the dishes and were about to join the others, when rain started falling.

Aiden comes down stairs and see that no one had left.

' The rain is falling. it looks like there will be a storm. Why don't you all stay here tonight. I will arrange for clothes for you' Bianca suggests.

The others agreed. Aiden frowned but said nothing. ' Butler Qinn! Arrange rooms for our guests.' Bianca says. ' Yes Young Miss. How many rooms?' Butler Qinn ask.

' Um.. 1.. 2.. 3.... 7. 7 rooms' Bianca replies.

' Make it four. My friends will stay with me ' Helena says.

' Are you sure? even Jimmy and Orion?' Bianca ask shocked.

' It's okay. We normally had sleepover at our houses and we would all stay in the same room.

Our guys are not naughty.' Beverley says smiling.

' Four rooms then' Bianca says to Butler Qinn.

He bows and leaves.

Adam felt a jab in his heart when he heard Helena would stay in the same room and bed as these devilishly handsome men.

Aiden couldn't understand why he felt his heart clench suddenly.

' Good night everyone ' Helena says as she walks to her room with her friends.

The others retire to their different bedrooms.

**Helena's room

Helena picks up the blue curtain and hangs it on the door.

' Guys we have to talk' Helena says.

' Sure! about what?' Orion says.

' About lots of things. First we will perform the song tomorrow. Second we will see Mario after the song. Most importantly, I feel as though the person who planned the attack on the Astrovanas will strike again. Any questions before I get into the details.' Helena says.

' How are you sure the attack was centered on the Astrovanas and not you or anyone else??' Beverley asks.

' Good question. If it were targeted at me, they wouldn't allow me flirt with them and try to exchange myself for my freedom. Secondly they shot at noone except the Astrovanas. Last of all, the Astrovanas were kept secluded away from the others and were surrounded by 7 to 8 men' Helena replies.

' Tell us your plan' Orion says.

' Beverley, check the CCTV footage of the parking lot. Find information on this danger guy.

While I will go to Mr Astrovana and find out how he got trapped in the fire' Helena replies.

She leaves the room.

Tiffany had just went to get a glass of water and was coming up the stairs when she saw Helena going to Aiden's Room.

What was going on??
