Helena knew Andrew didn't trust her and she didn't like him. He was too nosey for her taste. Another person who had loved Daphne. She swore that Richard's first wife had never angered a soul in her life. She let Richard do the talking for the most part. He smiled to Andrew.<br/><br/>"I'm glad to hear it and yes, it has."<br/><br/>Life was good for him, especially with having a much younger and very beautiful wife. Helena nodded her head to Angus.<br/><br/>"Oh yes, I know. We are just always so busy with the businesses. It seems that before I know it, another holiday has come and passed."<br/><br/>She replied when he said they were always welcome to visit. Perhaps Richard was, after all, he was Angus' uncle. Helena doubted Angus would truly want her here. She had replaced his beloved Aunt Daphne in Richard's life.<br/><br/>'That bitch is so fake,' Helena thought to herself, as she listened to Nicolet and Richard talk. Nicolet was an actress and appeared to be quite full of herself. She was obviously enjoying the attention the men were giving her. Nicolet had barely acknowledged her and Helena wanted to knock a few teeth out of her perfect, fake smile. Not that she'd do that. She was a proper English wife, and proper English wives did not do such things. Still, she could dream about it.<br/><br/>Richard smiled at Nicolet, he did not share his wife's distaste for her.<br/><br/>"That's wonderful, my dear."<br/><br/>He replied when she told him about her upcoming performances.<br/><br/>"Helena and I will have to catch one of your shows."<br/><br/>Richard suggested and Helena nodded her head but thought that she'd rather walk through coals then pay money to see this bitch perform.<br/><br/>"The pleasure is all mine. Best of luck with your performances and break a leg."<br/><br/>Helena replied, when the actress finally spoke to her. She did hope that Nicolet would literally break a leg. When Nicolet apologized for tactlessness, Richard replied.<br/><br/>"It is okay. Daphne was a wonderful woman, so full of life. Her death came so suddenly..."<br/><br/>Richard trailed off and Helena resisted the urge to vomit. Everyone had loved Daphne. So nice and sweet...She might as well had been a bloody saint. Helena hated hearing about her. Hated how everyone compared her to Daphne. Richard looked at Helena and smiled.<br/><br/>"I am very pleased that Helena entered my life. I'm sure Daphne, rest her soul, is happy too. She wouldn't want me to be sad all my life."<br/><br/>Helena returned the smile and was so thankful it was time for breakfast. No more hearing about Saint Daphne, at least for now. She took a hold of her husband's arm and followed everyone inside. She laughed politely about the joke about ammo. She had no idea what Angus and Anthony were even talking about. At least it wasn't about Daphne, though. Richard and Helena greeted the Chisholms. A small smirk appeared on Helena's face when she saw Drina's eyes lit up when Anthony walked into the room. She wondered what that was all about. Hmm...perhaps Richard forcing her to come wouldn't be so bad after all.
