Like Father, like daughter

Helena arrived at Lee Villa after mustering her courage to be on Daniel's shit list. That he will hate her and refuse to see her face and she won't be entangled with his life and can simply watch her from far, perhaps the feeling will soon dissipate and she can live a life as a rich heiress, protect her mother and fina d a culprit that tried killing her. She stayed inside her car for a while thinking of who benefitted the most after she passed, Francesca is a bastard, therefore her being dead or alive would not mean much to her. Elster on the other hand does not benefit anything if she were to die.

Nothing made sense as she started delving deeper into it, opening her car door, she felt sluggish since all she had done in this world it's eat and spend her mother's money. She has not even gone to the gym to work out or even practice her combat skills. She could not have a job that aligned with her expertise. Laying low is crucial since she was too brash previously and it caused her everything. Daryl in her real-life timeline once mentioned about her impulses and attitude will cost her everything one day, he is always there to ground her from committing mistakes. He did miss all of them. She refused to search for anyone from her previous life, all she wants is to live somewhere with her mom, perhaps on an island.

Walking inside the Villa, she turned the dimmed bulb on the wall to get a slight lighting for her to see. As soon as she took off her heels, she heard a rustling sound of heavy breathing, and a slap wooshing passed her as she dodge the hand and grabbed it by the wrist.

"You ungrateful child" Elster's chest heaved up and down managing his temper while tugging his arm for Helena to let him go. She tightens her grip on his wrist making him whimper about the pain radiating from it straight to his shoulder.

Shoving him off, he fell off on his back hitting the stone-carved elephant placed at the corner of the entryway.

"Dad!!!!" Francesca rushed to his aid seeing him placing his hand on his back. Francesca's scream woke the entire villa awake, maids and gardeners were rushing to see the reason for the loud commotion.

Eleanor who had been asleep in the master bedroom was also woken up upon hearing footsteps like a stampede down to the living room. She was greeted by the view of her husband leaning on the wall with his contorted face and Francesca's tears. Helena on the hand crossed her arm watching the two father and daughter telenovela of the year show.

"I told you don't spoil her too much! Look! She dares to hit her father"

"Helly, what is going on? Donny, come help Master Lee up to the sofa" Eleanor wrapped her robe and made her way to help lift her husband onto the floor. The Gardener and their driver Donny gently lift Elster lee to let him sit on the sofa. They left the area and stood at the pillar nearby the staircase waiting if their help is needed after that.

"Ouch, my back" Elster keep rubbing his back earning sympathy from Eleanor.

"What is going on?" She asked again wanting to know from both sides.

"I came home and he wanted to slap me, I merely held his wrist and pushed it away, he is the one who is heavy and hit his back on that elephant"

"Elster, why did you want to hit her?" Eleanor felt hurt listening to her daughter being almost slapped and simply defending herself.

"You will be slapping her as well if you know why I did it... Fran, tell Eleanor why this brat is going to be the end of us Lee's" He winced again once he moved too much.

"Madam Lee, like this...Helena was creating troubles at the Anderson Manor tonight. She fought with Alice Vaughn and hit her head on the hood of her car" Francesca needed the brownie point badly. Since she wanted to make an excuse to see Daniel personally for an apology.

Helena raised her eyebrow at Francesca's story since she omitted too many key details.

"Helena Rose, is that correct?" Eleanor raised her voice slightly.

"Yes, Mom, but..." she was cut off by Eleanor.

"You needed to be taught a lesson, everyone can leave now!!! Fran, go back to your room, Donny helped Master Lee back into the room as well, I am going to teach Helena a lesson!!! No one is allowed to come down! UNDERSTOOD?????" Her stern voice sounds domineering like a lady boss in a Mob. It has been a while since even Elster see this side of Eleanor, he exchanged looks with Francesca and the crowd dispersed back to their rooms. The looks did not go unnoticed by Helena. She is not angry at her mom, she knew her mom must be frustrated hearing that she assaulted another prominent family daughter.

Eleanor took out the rattan stick that she kept securely behind the China cabinet, the rattan stick is one inch in diameter and 3 feet in length, she then smacks it on the sofa creating a loud whooshing sound.

"You are too spoil!! I need to teach you a lesson!! I spoiled you too much!!" Eleanor yelled.

Francesca upstairs cupping her ears on the door hearing all the screams and anger coming from Eleanor. She understood she had finally been able to sow discord between mother and daughter.

"You..are...too spoil!" again Eleanor repeat, Helena felt horrendous for making her mom gets upset around this time. She does not wanted to explain further and willingly accepting her punishment. She looked at Eleanor that smiles to her and winked her right eye before she whip the couch.

Helena caught on the act and fake a cry over the stroke.

Eleanor smiled again and placing her index finger on her lips, she hit the couch again, and this time Helena showed her mom of her award winning performance.

"Stop mom!! It hurts, I promise I will behave, please don't hurt me!! Please mom didn't!!.

"Noo! I need to teach you a lesson!!" she whipped the couch again, and this time Helena wailed in fake pain. Eleanor looked up to the staircase and making sure no one sees them before she pretended to grab Helena and sent her to the room.

When they see it's clear, both enter her room and locked it slowly before Eleanor hugged her daughter.

"What happen?" she sat in Helena's bed looking over her daughter that removing the pin in her.

Helena told her mom exactly what happened and did not deny that she did attack Alice Vaughn.

"Hmmph...serves her right, she dares to frame you. Good thing Daniel is fast getting the surveillance.. isn't he a fine man Helly? He reminded me so much of his father"

"Nah..he so so..annoying" Helena awkwardly laughed hiding her actual feelings.

"And that Francesca, I knew she is pretentious, like father, like daughter". She said it in disdain.

"I thought you care about her."

"Since she has been living here 10 years ago, I will never mistreat a child, but I've seen her for what she is, and I won't let anyone frame my daughter. Serves that Vaughn girl, play stupid games, get stupid prizes, you need to stay in the room for few days "recovering". I will call Daryl to treat you..hehe" the twinkles and mischief in her eyes almost made Helena burst to laugh. Her mom is the queen of socialites, no wonder those old foxes take an interest in her mom.

Eleanor peeked through the small opening of the door and once she is sure no one is watching, she left Helena's room and change her expressions to stern and entering the master bedroom.

Helena curled her lips seeing her mom is her biggest supporter.

She can't wait to cleaned herself and soaked in a hot tub before drifting off to la la land.

Suddenly her phone beep showing an incoming message from an unknown number.

Unknown: [Because of you the two men are now working at the kitchen]

Helena:[Wrong number..bye]

She threw her phone on the bed and pulled her hair in frustrations! That is Daniel.

For f*ck sake evil twins!!!
