CHAPTER ONE
PROLOGUE
The journey has been so tough ever since the death of my Father. We lived in the world just like a Living Ghost. No one offered help when we needed it most as we were turned down by most of our family members. I thought they do say "A friend in need is a friend indeed!" but our own is not so as we turned into a Laughingstock in the eyes of our relatives and friends.
We lived our lives, merrying in poverty that most times to barely eat three squaremeal per day was not possible. Because of this hardship, I stopped going to school when I reached highschool but I managed to secure an internship within a Radio station where I earn to survive for me, my brother and my Mother. Unfortunately for me, I was also sacked due to one thing or the other.
You will be wondering what happened to have made us so poor like a Church rat but should I say it was our fate?
My name is Helen Clark and I am the only daughter of my parent, Mr. and Mrs. Clark. I am this type of a lady who is very hard-working and jovial. I also have a younger brother, Robert who put his life on the line while fighting for my freedom with me after being caged by the CEO of a Popular Company I worked with as an agreement of the Proposal I signed for the treatment of my Mother.
I spent 100 days and nights with the billionaire CEO I worked with as collateral to the money he paid for Our mother's treatment. This led to the abuses I faced during the Days and nights I spent with the CEO. I understood better then that everyone has one or two things he/she faces in life but it is only clothes that are covering our unseen problems.
The Billionaire CEO, Edric was prone to get angry easily which made him look so awful and more like a monster in the eyes of everyone who surround him, thinking he had no human feelings in him. Some times also, he has this type of positive changes in him but it wasn't common like that and spending some days and nights with him made me understand him more better than anyone else.
Then, I began to develop an affection towards him but what caused the sudden affection? Was it because of the fear he created in me while under his roof or I just fell in love with him passionately?
This was what my brother, Robert thought and he tried to put me back on the right track but he died while trying to take me away from the Billionaire CEO I fell in love with.
But what turned him into a Monster exactly, what is the Proposal I signed with him as a collateral to save my mother's life and what happened to me who fell in love with the presumed killer of my mother?
Now, let me take you through the journey of my life to unveil the hidden mystery behind the story. Have fun and try to smile while reading!
