The Birthday

Helena pour some Epsom salt with eucalyptus inside the soaking tub in her bathroom to soothe her aching muscle from all the workouts she did, feeling the water, she let her towel drop and got inside and relax..

The salt works instantly to relieve her, after awhile she got out and took a hot shower to scrub herself from the sweats, she is a little bit of a clean freak, and whatever traits she possesses in the other world did not leave her. She is the same Helena only in a different Helena's body.

Blaring her music in the room, she skimmed through clothes that is perfectly hanging based on color coordination in her walked in closet, she looked at the clothes with dissatisfaction, all dresses and blouse looks like something that will fit a middle age woman, when in this world Helena is only a 25 years old lady. she took a plain button blouse and knot it on her waist and pair with a flowy skirt that she cut so it reaching her upper knee instead of ankle. what a boring choice of clothes, she saw the card given to her by Daniel on her night stand, it will be shopping time later after meeting Daniel.

Daniel heard a loud music coming from Helena's room and he was a little stunned, how loud she needs to hear her music if he can still hear it from his study. He can even make some of the lyrics sang, that is how loud Helena blast her music.

ava max-kings & queens

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne

We would pop champagne and raise a toast

To all of the queens who are fighting alone

Baby, you're not dancing' on your own

Can't live without me, you wanna' but you can't, nah-nah-nah

Think it's funny, but honey, can't run this show on your own

I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take

I'll show you how a real queen behaves, oh

No damsel in distress, don't need to save me

Once I start breathing' fire, you can't tame me

And you might think I'm weak without a sword

But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours

*************************

Daniel shook his head hearing Helena loud voice singing together, he must have give it to her, she sounded good. After a moment the music stop and Helena walked inside the study and sat on the sofa without waiting for Daniel permission.

He placed the document in front of him and saw Helena still staring at him, he stood and leaned back at the desk, the grey and black modern concept study decorated with accounting and business books well organized on the bookshelves. Daniel's wealth is mostly his self made, he did not inherit a family business like Cade, and that is one of the reasons that Helena admired in Daniel. A memory of him holding her on her death bed in the last life flashed through her mind, her eyes started to flutter and she is fighting the intense unknown feeling she felt inside. He was a little different in this world, She non subconsciously held her neck exactly at the place where she was stabbed and clenching it.

Daniel saw her relax expression replaced with sorrow and despair to a quick rage mode, his eyebrows raised observing what is on her little mind but before he can decipher more, Helena back on the normal mode, swiftly changing her expressions that most people will never notice, it do not escape Daniel who is sharp. He cleared his throat

"Grandpa birthday is next week, and he requires both of our presents there" crossing his arm to observe her reaction knowing she will go to a party with him.

"thats all?" she asked confused Daniel for a little bit..

"i mean is that all you wanted to tell me?"

Daniel nodded and went back to his seat to check the documents.

"should have just sent me a message"

Helena got up lazily and walked out without looking back or even try to please him like always whenever he set foot in the villa.

'well she probably going to cook, she always does when i am home' Daniel refused to actually believe that Helena changes 100% according to butler Kim, no one changes that quick. He did referred it to a doctor that give him a small probability of a trauma that can made a person personality changes. Due to the fall, it probably the body natural way to be in a defensive mode.

A sound of engine revving can be heard from the compound, Daniel got up and saw that a red convertible Mustang leaving the driveway, at the same time butler Kim ran to the study.

"second young master, second young mistress has left the house for errand" he bowed.

"so?" Daniel asked, Helena has freedom, she can do anything in the agreement, except being in a relationship, this is the clause she herself provided.

"this...well..." Butler Kim placed his hand in his nape.

"Second Young Mistress, did not know how to drive before and did not have a valid driver license" Butler Kim felt lump on his throat after manage to squeeze the words, she was surprised to see Helena drove the car like she has been driving for years.

Daniel rubbed his cheek in annoyance, he is only back for few hours...He took his Trench coat and asked Butler Kim to prepare the car for him.
