The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Darius paid no attention to the glances the onlookers gave to him. He picked up his shopping bags full of the shoes he selected and was about to head to the counter to pay for his goods when he felt someone tug on his shirt. He turned back and saw that it was the lady he saved.

He took a closer look at the lady and saw that she was really beautiful. She was tall, although not as tall as him, probably 180 cm, with fair skin and beautiful blonde hair. She also had an hourglass figure which her poor clothing did little to hide. The girl stared back at Darius, and then looked back at her feet. She was too afraid to speak up, but she didn‘t want to let Darius go just like that. He had just paid 1 million dollars on her behalf. Even though to him it might seem like nothing due to how rich he was, to her it was something very touching. After fidgeting for a few seconds, she finally had the courage to speak up.

“Hello.” She muttered; her voice very meek. Darius didn‘t reply and kept staring at her, waiting for her to speak up. When she saw that Darius didn‘t respond, she finally braced herself to speak up. “Thank you very much for your help sir. If you didn‘t even help me I don‘t dare imagine what would have happened to me.” The lady said, her voice still shaking from the fear she had when she recalled what happened earlier. Darius sighed. He completely understood her fears. He had been poor his whole life so he had been in these kind of situations before. Back then he had wished that he had someone to help him out, but that wasn‘t what happened. This was why when he saw the lady being mistreated he instantly felt very angry at the young man. “What‘s your name?” Darius asked in a soothing voice. “Helen.” The lady replied, still looking downwards. “Look at me Helen.” Darius said; his voice inviting.

Helen obeyed and looked up at Darius. Darius smiled at her and she felt her heart melting at his smile. She looked like she had finally found the man of her dreams. Not only was he extremely wealthy, he was tall, handsome and most importantly he was very kind!

Most of the rich people she had seen were always arrogant, mean and haughty. It was no surprise she instantly fell for Darius at once.

“It‘s nothing. I just can‘t stand such behavior, especially when it‘s coming from a fellow male.” Darius said.

Darius smiled at her again and turned around to leave, but the lady he helped called him back again.

“I‘m incredibly sorry to bother you, but can I have your contact?” Helen asked shyly, her cheeks beet red. She had never asked for a man‘s contact before and neither had she given a man her contact details for various reasons.

For one she was very poor, so she had to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. As such she didn‘t have time for any type of a relationship with a man.

Another reason was that she was a student at Lockwood University, another top university in the neighborhood, so the little free time she was not working she channeled them towards her studies.
