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

JulianHe ran after Sabrina who in turn ran after the man who snatched her bag.She was cursing all along.The thief ran into a street, a street Julian knew well enough and he followed another route to block the thief. He knew where the thief was running to and the last thing he wanted was to be seen."Stop! Turn around slowly and drop the bag." Julian ordered when he got close enough but the thief didn't stop for five seconds and then he suddenly paused and stopped as though Julian's words replayed in his head and it rang a bell.He turned around as instructed and his eyes widened in shock. Sabrina ran in just in time to see him shaking with fear."J-Ju- King!" He stuttered, his hands to his head as the bag fell off his hand. Sabrina was surprised by his reaction and she shifted glances between the man and Julian."You can go. Don't tell anyone you saw me." Julian whispered and the man nodded vehemently before running away.Sabrina was even more confused. Why did Julian tell him not

SabrinaJust like she expected, the next day was a busy one and she didn't even get to eat breakfast.Sabrina and Julian had a meeting with the company's board members to discuss the process of penetrating the market and it was a long one.A lot of ideas were thrown on the table but due to the location, a lot of them would not be effective so they all had to brainstorm and come up with something better.By the time the meeting was adjourned, it was late noon already.While the board members cleared their tables and left the hall, Sabrina took her time picking her things up. She was so careful not to miss a step or act clumsily out of hunger and exhaustion. No other person seemed to notice her but of course, one person did, and it was Julian. He walked right up to her with a subtle smile. Now, he was not a man of many smiles but he had been smiling whenever he was around Sabrina. Maybe he had not noticed it yet or maybe he thinks it's a part of his fun games but he will, soon enough.

Sabrina"How dare you bring me to a motel? You think I'm one of those cheap sluts you play around with as you will?" Sabrina fumed, ignoring the look of total confusion her words brought to Julian's face. "Read my lips you scumbag, I do not want to do anything of that sort with you. Hell, I don't even want to be in the same space as you are and I'm barely coping..." Sabrina was raging on and on and it seemed like the more she spoke, the more angry she became so Julian tried to calm her down."Wait, wait, you think this is a motel?" He asked with a chuckle. He had no idea why he warmed up to the lady despite her fierceness. Maybe that was what intrigued him in the first place.Sabrina stopped raving and just stared daggers at him."You think I want to do something of that sort with you?" Julian asked again, a subtle smile of amusement on his face."Of course! Why else will you bring me here instead of taking me to the hotel we booked? This is not the name of the hotel. And why would y

JULIAN The day Julian and Sabrina were meant to travel finally arrived, and they both made their way into the private jet that was waiting for them at the airport. Immediately after they stepped inside, Julian noticed the change in Sabrina's expression, and it was quite easy for him to tell what the cause for her sudden change in expression was. “Why are the chairs so close to each other?” She questioned, slowly moving to one of them, while he moved to the other. “I am not the one that built this jet, so I have no answer to the question that you just asked me,” Julian replied as he slumped down into one. “It was a rhetorical question; you didn't need to answer it,” she replied with a quite feisty tone. “If it were up to me, I wouldn't have minded the chairs being so far away from each other,” she muttered under her breath. Julian turned to stare at her with the same amused expression that always finds its way to his face whenever his eyes land on the embodiment of beauty sittin

Aveline I started getting worried. Not because of Betty this time around, or Sabrina or even my company, _although those always got me worried daily_This time around, I was worried because of the She-wolf who had been helping me through my recovery. I had not seen her in a while now and it was not normal for someone who always came around every morning to check in on me and keep me company, she hadn't come in for three days. I had every right to be worried. Considering what I went through in the hands of Kade.'What if he locked her up in the cell because she did something offensive?' I thought to myself with a deep sigh. She was a slave after all, and slacks are not cut for slaves in the clan. 'What if they killed her?!' My heart beat accelerated at this thought and I placed a palm on my chest to calm myself. I had to think about the positives that could happen but there were barely any positives that could happen in this shit hole of a clan where the Lycans kill for the fun o

Draven’s office was occupied by three people, with Draven seated behind his desk on his usual office chair, while the other two occupants, Brian, his beta, and Scar, Aveline’s right-hand man, sat on the two chairs opposite where Draven was seated. “Let's not even beat around the bush, and let me get straight to the point. I called both of you here to fill you in on my plan to attack the Lycans and set Aveline free from their grasp.” His gaze moved from Brian to Scar while he spoke, paying rapt attention to the expression plastered on their faces. Just like he had expected, the only person that reacted to this news was his beta, Brian. “You know this is not something that we are supposed to rush into,” Brian said and leaned forward, placing his arm on the table, like Draven wouldn't be able to hear him due to the little distance between them. He continued before Draven could interrupt him, “These people are far stronger than we are; they are well versed in battle individually. It w

DravenThe day was a busy one for him, it was either that or he had been so buried in Aveline's absence that he snubbed work for weeks. And it was telling on him from the pole of files on his table and the trouping in and out of his secretary into his office with more complaints and questions. Must have lost track of time with the so much work he had to handle and he only realized that when he picked up a call from a client who wanted a detailed statement of his transaction with Draven's company. Draven ran out of his office when he saw the time. He had forgotten to pick Betty from school.He drove over to her school like a man whose wife was in the hospital.When he got there he was told that Betty already left and Kade picked her up.Kade was no stranger to the school. He always picked his niece from school before he decided to show his true colors and Betty always tagged along so the teachers didn't read any meaning into his meeting with the girls."You could have called me and i

KadeAfter his conversion with Julian, Kade decided it was better to act on his _with the last card he had to pull; getting Aveline's daughter, Betty._He had not shown his face since he got to Julian's clan and had his friend handle his business while he was away but everything was not going as planned so he had to take desperate measures."Hey, sis!" Kade greeted over the phone as he got in his car."Am I talking to a ghost? You have been gone for so long that I began to think that my dear cousin is now a ghost!" The woman exclaimed from the other end of the call."I had to handle some serious business and it took more time than anticipated," Kade replied with a calm voice."You got me worried. And your niece had been asking after you all week!" She replied. "I'm sorry I got you worried. You know what? I'm coming into town today, can I stop by the house for a good lunch? You know I've missed your nice dishes." Kade asked and just like he expected, the woman had no issue with hostin

AvelineI have not set my eyes on Kade since the last time he came to my room. It was hard finding out what happened between Kade and Julian because I was still healing and had been falling in and out of sleep.The she-wolf who has been helping me had suddenly been distant. She doesn't spend as much time with me anymore, claiming that I need my rest. So I had only the books she gave me for consolation. However, on this faithful morning, I woke up and I didn't feel sleepy after some seconds of being awake so I got down from the bed.My wounds were almost healed since I'd been resting well and taking my meds. I still felt weak but it wasn't as much as the first week and the pains had reduced to a faint feel.I staggered to the door and was surprised that it wasn't locked from the other side.Perhaps, this has anything to do with what the guards said about King Julian's order to let me be.Two guards were manning my door and they shifted their gaze to me when I walked out but they did n
