Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 011
Aveline The constant ticking of the clock had probably woke me up, I was not far gone in sleep actually. I was always thinking about how things were, and it was not even a thing to laugh over. After all, it seems like Draven was right. I don't think I'd be able to get a job without his signature.It's been three bloody whole weeks since I got out from Draven's company and I was yet to secure a job. Lots and lots of jobs were available, huge jobs but Draven was just a pain in the ass. "Damn!" My eyes went wide immediately and I remembered I was supposed to be somewhere today. Well, it might just end up like the rest. They would definitely ask for the same thing again which is the letter, so I guess it'd be great if I just sit here and save my strength. No. No one knows what might happen. I looked up at the wall clock, the time was just six minutes to eight and I needed to be there before nine.I undressed and walked towards the bathroom, the water was cold but soothing, as I s

Aveline There his mom was, seated on one of the two visitor's chairs placed opposite the one that Draven usually sits on. The only thing that separates them is the expensive glass table. I looked past Draven, who was standing in front of me with his palm open and outstretched, like he was waiting for me to place my hands on them, to stare at his mother. If this asshole thinks that I am going to do his bidding just because I came back, then he is gravely mistaken. I just need to complete this deal that I had already started with a huge business company. It was a huge deal that this company actually needs, so it can be my parting gift with them. "What is wrong with you?" Draven's mom stared at me with a slightly pissed expression. Wait!Hold on a minute here; I don't think we are getting the situation clearly. Who is supposed to be pissed here?There is no way she is the one that's supposed to piss; I did nothing wrong to make her pissed, but the same can't be said for her son and

Aveline Take responsibility for something that was clearly not my fault. It was not like I had any other choice than to right the wrong that I did not commit. I was obviously fuming on the way to the other company, whose representatives had left in a bad mood with clearly a bad review about the deal that was supposed to have been finalized by now or a couple minutes ago. I was muttering words that would have seemed incoherent to others and sounded as gibberish if I was in the midst of a large group of people, given the way my driver had been staring at me through the rearview mirror. “Is anything the matter, ma’am? You seemed to be in a very bad mood,” he had asked me five minutes after we left the office. I had simply lied and told him nothing; the lie was obvious. What I had said and the way I was behaving were contradicting each other. He had wanted to push but decided against it and just stuck to glancing at me through the rearview mirror at intervals. The fact that he had

AvelineImmediately I heard it, I turned back to Emily whose eyes were fixed sternly on me. "Do you have any idea that you are delaying me?" She averted her gaze from me and transferred it to her heels.I just smiled and walked away, I had no choice but to bring it anyway. Slowly, I made it out of the door and walked towards the coffee store that was just a stone's throw away from the building exit door. The wind was strong, and I squinted my eyes; my hair came front, but I quickly waved it behind me and sighed. "Could today get any better?"'As I got to the store, a cup of coffee was already placed on the table,e and I picked it up and turned to take my leave when the brown-skinned female greeted me."Good morning, ma'am," it was like her voice was infused with medicine, but the pain in me was just stronger.I halted in my steps and smiled; I was not looking at her anyway. "Good morning, I'm sorry for not greeting you."A light chuckle could be heard behind me, she was the one. "

AvelineDays had passed and I was still treated in the same way. Wasn't there supposed to be a change? Even if it was slightly positive, it wouldn't be bad, but no, things just kept getting worse.I rested my back and heaved a sigh, my eyes still fixed on the paper, it was the true definition of stress and I kept on working on it day and night, I denied myself of sleeping and the only thing that made me happy was all because of I'm so close to getting the deal done.My eyes scanned the room, and it stopped immediately after it got on the clock."Fuck!" I cursed immediately when I saw the time; it was a few minutes past eight, and I had yet to take my bath.No one cared how hard I worked; my death would be the best news to most of them, so all I needed to do was just care for myself while working like a farm animal. Sabrina came back yesterday, and I saw her reaction when she saw me; it was a sad one, but she quickly plastered a smile on her face. She also told me not to worry about

AvelinePutting everything that had happened behind me, I was already preparing to leave, closing off everything that I had started. I don't want to leave here with unfinished jobs that would make it easier to get called back. There was barely anything left, and in two days, I should have been ready and free to leave. That was exactly what I had thought, but it seemed that fate had other plans for me.At that moment, that was when Draven’s company rivals decided to strike. I buried my head in my hand immediately after the rumors started to get rampant, spreading around slowly at first, but the topic of discussion and middle of that rumor was none other than the Alpha, so it didn't take long for it to spread like wildfire. People were interested in this kind of discussion and rumor. It was another source of income for the media, and they seized that opportunity. It wasn't something that they would let slip right out of their palm so easily. The rumor spreading around was something

Aveline’s POV A day slowly passed after the conference that Draven had, a conference where I couldn't do anything but watch what he had to say, which is to claim the whole glory of my hard work all for himself and spared a portion of that, not for me, but for his sister, who barely lifted her fingers while the company was in turmoil and did what I couldn't do, which is sleep peacefully through it, barely looking bothered. I don't even want to remember the conversation that we had in his office where he spoke to me like every error in this company has always been my fault, no matter who did it, where it was done, or whatever. If there is just one benefit I gain from all the work that I have been silently putting in to save this company, it is the way almost every single worker now looks at me.While working on something, another thing out of the many that I needed to complete and close, so that I can peacefully make my way out of the company without any negative emotion making its w

AvelineI have accepted a lot from the Harrington family lately, but today was a bad one, like every other day, or maybe even worse than the others.When I secured the previous deal, I thought Draven failed to recognize my support and the role I played in doing it all because Emily had her way of putting herself in the limelight, but this time, it was clear that no matter how hard I tried, I would never get the recognition I deserve. First, Emily took the glory upon herself and now it's Sophie. I guess it's high time I stop putting in any effort. My deal with the family would soon be over anyway, so I guess there's no use in putting in any more effort. After all, I'd already paid all my debt to them; there was nothing left for me to do, so I just had to act like every other person. "Good day ma'am," a man with a brown moustache greeted me immediately I walked out of the building. "Yeah," I held the file across my chest tightly. "A good day it is."We were some distance away, he wa

Aveline I heaved a sigh when I got to the office. Certain that Draven and some people from his company would be inside already, waiting for me courtesy of the stern condition I gave them the last time.Thinking back to it, it felt like I was a little too harsh, but one reminder about the worse he'd done to me, I shoved the guilty thoughts away.Nodding slightly to the bows of the staff at the door, I walked past them into the hall that led to the meeting room.Mr Kade stood at the entrance of the meeting room. "Good day ma, trust you had a good night rest?" He asked but I could hear the impatience in his voice."I slept alright Kade. Are they in already?" I answered, referring to the reason behind his tension."Yes ma, they've been here for thirty minutes at the very least." He replied, looking worried."Very well then." I replied, wanting to make my way into the meeting room but he step ahead of me, stopping me in my tracks."Is there something wrong?" I inquired, with a firm voice

Aveline Shifting my attention to the audience who waited for me to speak, I began, reflecting on how far I'd come but not forgetting about the business struggles the city had to face over the years. Working with Draven for years has helped keep me conversant with the business world and all the happenings in it. So even when I was away for three years, I knew the development in the business world. After my speech, as the applause rose in the crowd, I saw Draven walk back into the hall, but this time around, without Emily. I didn't want to think about the many different reasons why she didn't follow him back in. Maybe he sent her back home, or maybe he told her he didn't want her for the rest of the occasion. I didn't know but one thing I knew was that I was glad. I was glad she didn't return with him. I was glad he sent her away for a change.Happy with the turnouts of events. I got to my feet and headed towards the door.Darting my eyes to where Draven sat, I saw him talking to s

AveAcknowledging the moderator on the stage with a wave of hands, I smiled brightly at the congregation that cheered at the mention of my name, and also at the lady who had suddenly gone pale.Emily. She looked like she'd seen a ghost or was probably in a nightmare. With a confused face, she looked around the hall, trying to comprehend the strange news that was dished.The moderator continued to acknowledge more prominent people in the meeting but Emily didn't move an inch from where she sat. Her gaze pinned on me.After years of seeing her, I knew that she was going to be at the conference and a part of me was anxious about seeing her. Thinking about the possible outcome of our meeting.Thinking about how pretty she would probably be looking especially as someone who hadn't gone through the kind of stress I did these past few years. But seeing her that day, I knew that there was no way I could be compared to her. She looked basic. And I was just not about basics anymore. The event

AvelineI held Kade by his wrist and dragged him to a corner in the huge room. "What do you mean by Draven Harrington?"He slowly removed my hand from his wrist and smiled. "You kept on refusing to meet with his company, why?"My hands were across my chest and I sighed, Kade's gaze still fixed on me, he was obviously waiting for an answer. An answer that he might never get. "It's been three years Ms Nova," he smoothed his hair by pushing it backward slowly. "Three years." "Are you sure it's three?" I let out a light chuckle. He heaved a frustrated sigh. "Yes, three. They are not as successful as they used to be about four to five years ago but we can benefit from them also." I sat by the edge of the long table in the meeting room and my eyes were fixed on the floor. "I thought they said I was able to do nothing without the help of those bitches." I felt my finger going into my palm. "What did you say?" Kade pulled me out of my thoughts and I just lifted the corner of my lips. "U

AvelineSlowly, I turned to the woman but her gaze was not even on me. She packed the trays and other items before turning to take her leave. "Thank you, ma'am," I managed to voice out, and she turned to me. "You're welcome," she spoke in a calm tone. With that, she took her leave from the room after she and Lucas exchanged a smile. "How did I get here?" My face was etched with worry. I looked at the child in my hands; she had fallen asleep. Lucas walked further into the room with his hands in his pocket and he sat down on a metal chair close to the bed. "Did you have any idea where you were before I came to save you?" "I do remember that I was surrounded by some thugs," my words were slow but steady. "I passed out…too quick."He nodded slowly. "You were unconscious when I found you." "How did you know where I was?" My curiosity piqued the more I threw questions at him. "Were you tailing me?"A silent chuckle escaped his lips and he brought out his phone before handing it to me

AvelineMy eyes widened and a gasp escaped my lips. This was not the time I was supposed to give birth, not in this kind of situation…not in this kind of place…not even in the midst of these bastards. I swiftly turned my face sideways; even after they saw the water rolling down my legs, they still had an indifferent look on their faces. "Trust me we don't give a fuck about what is happening to you right now," it came from my left side, and I turned to him. He seemed like their boss if we were to place them by their body size. His eyes were deadly, so was his face, and he had a scar just under his right eye. "Yeah, we don't!" Another one from my right-hand side barked. I was surrounded. 'What…what do you think we should do?' I heard my wolf stutter. She could not hide her fear. Neither could I, but there was nothing I could do; I didn't know what might happen to the baby if I messed up, so I just stood in a particular spot. "Please," I was barely able to find my voice but they

Aveline "You look beautiful." He remarked, taking a seat opposite me."What will you like? The cheeseburger here bangs. I recommend that." He said, looking back at the menu.I was still trying to recover from him pulling out the chair for me before he hit me with a compliment I'd only heard from my friend for the past nine years."So, what are you doing now? Did you get a job elsewhere?" He asked after we placed our orders."Nothing yet, for now, it's hard getting a job around here with this big bump," I said, laughing at myself but he wasn't amused.I could see the sympathetic look on his face."Is there anything you'd like to do?" He asked again, making me lose the smile on my face.Thinking about all the dreams and plans I'd had before finding out that I was still pregnant, it felt like a bad memory but I shrugged it off."I wanted to own my own business, my empire. Satisfying the needs of the public while making enough money in the process." I replied with a distant smile on my f

AvelineThe next day, I woke up with hunger from not eating as well as I should have the previous day.Pushing myself to my feet, I slowly made my way to the kitchen I searched for anything I could munch on before going to the supermarket and I thanked the stars for one apple left in the fridge.Munching on the apple with relish, I changed from my pajamas and brushed my teeth before going grocery shopping and, the baby shower photos.I got thinking about what Sabrina said to me the previous day and she was right. I let my bad experiences cloud the beautiful gift I'd been given was one that would hurt me in the future.I felt the baby move and I smiled to myself, it must've heard my thoughts and agreed with my resolve to leave the past behind and move forward starting now.After a few minutes of walking to the grocery store, I got there and went shopping. Picking up a cart, I strolled down each role in search of what would be needed to keep me going for at least a month and by the time

AvelineI settled for a bag of chips and a cold milk from the fridge. I was so tired and famished and I felt like if I didn't satisfy my hunger at this moment, I'd join my ancestors with the moon goddess. I couldn't tell if it was the growing child in my womb or the stress and frustration from work, but I felt like I could eat a full house. Munching on the chips like I'd stolen them and gulping the milk with satisfaction, I found myself thinking about Draven.What he would be doing by that time, if he was still with Emily if Sophie was still as sassy as before and if they'd found someone else to continue their evil on..A sad smile crossed my face and I shook my head in regret of the many years I'd spent wasting off with Draven, working like a slave and treated like one indeed but not receiving any reward in return.Speaking of rewards, I was supposed to receive a hundred thousand dollars after the contract was completed but I didn't have the mind to tell him about it.Hell, I was to
