Hello everyone, well since most of you guys wanted me to continue the story, I decided to continue it. But it took me some time to write the chapter since I want the chapters to flow with the first and fill in much detail as I can. I hope you guys get to enjoy this chapter and hopefully the next chapter will be up soon.

Ring Ring…

She turns off the alarm and gets up, she looks to her left where her husband lies; he stirs a bit than start to snore again (humph must be wiped out from last night) she says to herself. She heads off to the bathroom and does her morning routine. As she finishes washing her face she makes her way to the towel rack and trip over some clothing. Helga looks down and right away she knows who's clothes they belong to, she debating whether to leave it there or pick it up; but decide to pick it up since she know Arnold would forget about it as she pick up his clothes a little blue box fell out of his pocket, she knows the little blue box because he would buy her jewelry from that store. She drops the clothes on the floor and runs to the toilet and throws up. Tears making their way to her cheeks, she hears her heart breaking once again upon flushing of the toilet and brushing her teeth again she leaves the bathroom. Helga opens the door, and finds a pair of green eyes staring back at her.

"Hey are you okay?" asked Arnold

"Yes, why?" asked Helga

"Well when I woke up to the noise of vomiting and multiple toilet flushing. Plus your eyes are red are you sure you are okay?"

"Yes Arnold I am fine. "Snapped Helga

"Alright, sorry for picking at you" said Arnold

"Whatever"

Helga walks over to closet and start picking out her clothes for the day, she feels his eyes on her she wanted to smack him, punch him, and scream at him; show him the pain that she feeling but she bits her tongue and kept her eyes in her closet. She hears him getting off the bed, he makes his way over to her, and he turns her and looks at her. Arnold leans in kisses her on fore head and gives her a reassuring smile; he makes his way to the bathroom. In the first couple of years of their marriage they would wake each other up by kissing each other laughing and just stay in each other arms for a while until it was time to get up. But now it just emptiness between them, Helga feels the tears making their way out again she closes her eyes and push it back in. She continues looking for her clothes until she settle with black slacks, white collar shirt and five inch heels. Today she has a meeting with her editor about ta new book deal so she wanted to impress her editor and his staff. By the time she got ready Arnold got out of the bathroom and she went in to do her makeup, after five minutes she come out and saw her husband all dress up for work.

"What time you'll be home?" asked Arnold

"Oh I don't know four, after the meeting with the editor I am meeting Phoebe for lunch. Why?"

"I thought maybe we will have a date night, I miss having those every Friday night."

"Well we could still have them if your "work" didn't make you stay for extra hours." Helga snapped she wanted to tell him she knows but she decided to play along.

"Awe honey you know how work can be, but I will promise you we will try to have more date nights okay." Arnold walks over to her and kisses her before making his way out of the bedroom.

Helga closed her eyes hoping the tears wouldn't come out, she wanted to believe him she did but she could not her heart was in so much pain she doesn't know how more can she take. She took one look in the mirror once again to make sure she looks presentable for her meeting and was out the door.

After the morning rush this makes the thirty minutes drive to an hour and half drive to her editor office. After finding parking in the parking lot Helga makes her way to his office, she walks by his sectary Ms. Johns she is a sweet lady Helga remembers first meeting her. Helga was only nineteen and she was meeting Mr. Davis for the first time about her first book and Ms. Johns saw how Helga was really nervous so the sectary gave Helga tips and pep talks. After that first meeting and the book deal went through Ms. Johns and Helga saw each other every month whether for work or just a cup of coffee.

"Morning Ms. Johns how are you?"asked Helga

"I am fine my dear, may I say you look beautiful and glowing today." Commented Ms. Johns

"Why thank you, is Mr. Davis in?"

"Why yes he is waiting for you, let me buzz you in my dear."

Helga said her good bye and walked in to Mr. Davis office. Mr. Davis been Helga editor for five years, he would always read her stories and give her tips of what to take out or add in. He was sweet but sometime he can be tough especially those who write award winning books.

"Good morning Mr. Davis, how are you?"

"I am fine, no actually I am great." Said Mr. Davis

"Oh well I can see since you are smiling ear to ear and may I ask why?"

"Well my oldest son and my daughter-in-law are having their first child and my daughter just got engaged."

"Well Mr. Davis congrats I am very happy for you." Helga gave her editor a big hug and congratulated him again.

" Thank you Helga, which means that I will be busy most of the time this month I will be out for two weeks since my youngest child is graduating for UCLA and I will have to fly out there." Mr. Davis informs Helga

"No problem, family is important."

"Why yes, speaking of family when you and Arnold are going to start a family?"

Helga had to take a step back, herself and Arnold had not discussed the possibility of trying to start family it hurts just bit since there was a chance that might never happened but she pushed it a side and answer him with a smile.

"Well Mr. Davis we have not discussed that just yet, but you never know what can happen."

"Very true, now enough family talk let talk about the book I love the plot of the book, so what I need you to do the two weeks I am out you can start working on the story. But when I come back I expect chapters one through three on my desk understood."

"Yes I understand Mr. Davis."

After discussing the timeline and when the book should be done, Helga was making her way to meet with Phoebe at a local café in the city. Upon walking the little café Helga spots Phoebe in back booth with folders scattered around.

"Wow must be a big case."

Phoebe looked up and saw her blonde friend. Phoebe hugged her friend; Phoebe stood 5'5 and Helga only stood 5'7.

"Yes it is so many materials and evidence that can put this person away for years. I just want to make sure I got everything I need to make the jury sees him guilty."

"Phoebe you are the best so far you have not lost a case."

"I know, you know what enough law talk how you been?" asked Phoebe

"I been good I just got a another book deal so I have to give him the first three chapters of the book."

"Well if I may say you are the best writer, all of our friends love reading your books. As your lawyer did he give you a new contract?" Phoebe was not only the best lawyer in the criminal but also a good lawyer for authors or actors to look over their contract if they are getting good deals.

"Yes he did." Helga gave her the contact and Phoebe took the papers and sticks it in her brief case. " So how are you and Arnold?" asked Phoebe

"Fine"

"Just fine? I know you for a long time Helga what going on?" Helga knew she couldn't hide from her friend, her tears were already falling and finally she broke down and told her everything.
