CHAPTER 018

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-30 23:10:13

Aveline

I 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."

    AvelineWhy would he need my help with such? There are other people who he could have called to get the job done; the maids that he employed, for example, can get it done. What Grace was thinking seemed to be quite different from what I was thinking at that moment, given what she told me. She placed her hands on my shoulder. “You see, the reason why Draven might have called you to get this errand done for him might be because he sees you as the only person who can get the work done for him.” I know Grace is trying to make me see the good sides of everything; the only thing I know that she should know is that there aren’t any good sides any longer. I just hope she can see what I am talking about and see the logical side of things from now on. “I don’t think so any longer; there are other people that could have gotten this work done for him, and there is no good side to this errand he is sending her on. No matter how hard I think about it, I just can’t see it,” Roy said. Finally! He

    Draven Draven was surprised by the way Aveline responded to him and threw questions at him. Lines appeared on his forehead as Aveline kept throwing questions at him in an angry tone. From her expression and the look in her eyes, you could tell she had gone through enough already, and she just couldn't take it anymore. It was evident in her face…in her eyes."You do not even hesitate to do something that would hurt me, and I keep asking myself what my offense was, but I can't even find one." She raised her index finger. "One!" "You are talking outside the box and it's not in a positive way," he fires back at her. "It's in a stupid and negative way.""I'm not mad because you chose someone over me but you don't have to treat me the way you do!" She pointed towards Emily. "You can do whatever you want with her, but why do you seem to treat me this bad, why?!" Draven squinted his eyes and took a step forward. His gaze was plastered on Aveline, but she did not seem to be fazed by the

    AvelineThat's dumb and very stupid of me to think that Draven might harbor even a tiny seed of feeling that has a chance of blossoming. "What more does he have to do to me for my dumb self to finally realize that there is no single atom of feeling for me inside that rock-hard heart of his?" I asked myself immediately. We entered the room where Grace wanted to restyle me."The party isn't over yet; maybe Draven is just acting out of stress and not in his right senses like he should be," Grace said just like other times, coming to his defense. "Nah, I can't take it any longer; I am too exhausted for this. Trust me when I say that I have been drained," I said to her, shaking my head slightly. My voice was filled with conviction, and slightly, you could sense tiredness in it. For the first time, I feel like Grace finally understands me; she inhaled deeply and let out a slow exhale. "I know and I understand," she said, going on with her restyling. Putting effort into making me look as

    AvelineStill staying in the bathroom with a shattered heart, shattered more into dust already, and a tear-covered face. I pulled out my phone and entered into my contact app, strolling through it. I was searching for a number—not just anyone's number, but my best friend's, Sabrina's, to be exact. I scrolled up and down endlessly searching for the number but failing to find it. I don't know why it was proving hard to do. Why can't I just find one goddamned number?! I was frustrated and pissed, I won't lie. After what was obviously a minute but had felt like an eternity, it was like my brain hadn't been working properly the past minute after hearing what Sophie had said, and it just clicked right now. I tapped on the search space in the contacts app, then inputted what I had saved Sabrina's contact with; before I even tapped the search button, her contact had already pulled up, and I just tapped on it and dialed her contact.She picked after the second ring, "What's up, Ave?"

    Aveline.Emily fell to the floor with a loud gasp and I saw blood flow from her right shoulder. Was this how she was determined to take complete charge of Draven's heart?It's not like she does not have complete control already, but…this is beyond my expectations, and I can't help but wonder.Why did she run in the first place?! What was she trying to do?!"What happened just now?!" A woman with blonde hair screamed beside me and I shot her a deadly glance. She bent her head low. "A bullet was sent into someone's body," I spoke in a low tone and she nodded. "I'm sorry for shouting that way," she apologized and I just nodded. My gaze went to Emily again. I warned her, but she turned a blind eye; she was plotting something against me, I know that, but I never knew she could lay down her life all in the name of shredding me and Draven apart. What if she did it knowing she would survive? What if?Different questions flooded my head, and I just gasped and swallowed hard; my knee

    AvelineI looked at the phone til it stopped ringing and a hiss escaped my lips. "Why is he calling?" I poured the milk into the cornflakes and walked out of the kitchen with the plate in my hand. The sigh that escaped my lips was a relieving one and I crossed my legs after taking a spoon from the plate. My phone rang again and I tapped my forehead lightly. "What the fuck is wrong with him right now?" I picked up the call and placed it close to my ear without saying a word. "Are you there?" His voice was calm over the phone, and I just squinted my eyes. "State your reason for calling," I spoke in a rash tone. "I don't have all day.""By the way, I have somewhere I need to be," my words tumbled out in a rush. He just chuckled over the phone and I scoffed. "We need you at the office right now." Was that a command or a plea?"There are times when you pretend like I'm important Draven," I paused after calling his name and drew a long breath. "But in the end, you just put me

    AvelineI watched as Draven's mother walked past me slowly. A file was in her hand, and she shot me a deadly glance, but I just tightened my jaw. "You have been absent," she took her seat on the brown couch. "I don't need you to tell me anything apart from the main reason." My hands were folded across my chest. "Is that what we are supposed to be discussing right now?" Her thumb and index were under her chin and she stroked her beardless chin before scoffing loudly. "You can tell me what we are supposed to be discussing. I heard Draven stifling a chuckle, he controlled himself from bursting it out. "We can't discuss anything with her. I mean, she's not even in the top place, so I don't think there's a reason to discuss important issues with her." His mother smiled and flushed her hair above her shoulder and it went behind her. "Things that are not relevant will be discussed with you, Aveline Nova."For a split second, I shared a look with Draven and he seemed to enjoy watching me

    AvelineI got out of my car after stopping close to the grocery store, I slammed the door in annoyance. Three months and two days was all that was left for me in my contract with Draven.After that, I would finally smile. Several times, I had wanted to resign but it was not just possible. I was blinded by love when I signed the eight-year contract, and it was said that until your contract expire, you can't resign. I actually thought Draven would love me to this time, but it all faded out; the only thing I saw now was hate…complete hate. "Hey," I turned to see a man who seemed to be in his early thirties. His hair was yellow. My eyes squinted and I gripped my car key tightly. "Do you know me?" He seemed familiar.He shrugged. "No, but I don't think beautiful ladies like you should be lost in thoughts."I was still silent. "You can't deny that can you?" A smile widened his lips and he placed his hands inside his pockets."Well, you don't know what I was thinking about," I turned a

    Aveline"What is he doing here?" I turned to the guard that was behind him. I had wiped the tears off earlier on immediately I knew it was Draven."I'm sorry ma, but he said he can help us." the guard's voice echoed in the room. "I can take him back if you want ma." Draven leaned on the wall with his right side; his eyes were fixed on me. "Six minutes and twenty-one seconds until the complete shutdown." Kade's gaze was still on his wrist. "God! Like what is your business here?!" I had started to take out my anger on Draven when I felt a hand touch me. It was Kade, and I turned to him with an evil glint in my eyes. "I am serious here Kade," I hardened my jaw. "Like he does not even know what he's going to do," I motioned towards Draven who was still maintaining his position. I walked up to him with a frown on my face. "Now tell me, what did you come here for?" He stood up properly and a light chuckle that provoked me more escaped his lips. "Aren't you in need of someone who wou

    AvelineI walked through and fro in the company with my hands on my waist. I was cleaning my face from time to time. "Oh God!" I groaned in pain. The thought of losing everything I built in three years alone is killing me already. What if it all goes down? What if Nova Empire collapsed? Emily, Sophie, Draven's mother. They would mock me till the day I go six feet under the ground. How could I let that happen? How? I mean, this shit is going on, and not even one of these computer experts or IT professionals can fix the problem.I heard approaching footsteps, and I rose to my feet after groaning. It was my secretary. "What? Any good news?" I held her hand immediately she stopped.She knew how broken I was, it would be very easy for anyone to know. Felicia nodded her head. "No ma, no sign of progress." "Call the head of the computer team," I took some steps backward. "Do that now!" "There was something—""I thought I told you to do something right now!" I yelled and I saw her je

    Aveline"Are you done with your breakfast?" I packed my hair behind me as I got into the dining room, where I saw Betty putting her plates aside."Oh! I see you're done." My words were barely above a whisper and Betty just nodded in affirmation before rising to her feet. "So umm…you would be going with Claire now; the driver is outside, too." "Okay, Mom," she gave me a warm hug, and I bent low before kissing her on the forehead. "Bye ""Bye." I picked up the car key from the shelf before shutting the door behind me. I glanced at my wristwatch and a sigh escaped my lips. It's been some minutes since Betty left. Without wasting time, I hopped into the car and drove off; I had already promised Betty that I wouldn't be late, so all I had to do was just get to work early and do whatever I wanna do. After some minute's drive, I got to the office, and just like every other day, the workers kept bowing as a sign of greeting, and on the other hand, I waved towards them with a bright smil

    AvelineDraven came close to me and I only felt agitated. "Did you?" His hands were in his pockets.A scoff escaped my lips and I concentrated fully on the children that were playing in the pack. We were supposed to have a family also, but he ruined it…and he ruined it completely, and now he thinks some cheap talks are gonna make me come back to him?That is not gonna happen, it won't."You know it's a question of yes or no," his deep voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "It should not be a big deal to you." "What if it is?" I snapped at him angrily and the shock on his face was visible to me."What if I don't wanna respond to that question?" He seemed to be processing what was going on at the moment but I just averted my gaze from him. I was less concerned with whatever he was doing. "I know I've asked you this before," he hesitated and leaned on the iron. "Something changed about you Aveline, we both know you can't deny that."'"You changed all of a sudden and I still don't underst

    AvelineI shot Draven a deadly stare whenever our eyes met and I'm pretty sure that was the reason why he stopped looking at me."Wow, I'm out in the first round," I heard Kade's voice. "I guess I met my superior already." "You are right," Betty replied to him but Draven's gaze was fixed on the game. It's not like I wanted him to look at me anyway. Had it been it was three years ago, I guess I would have blushed every time he looked at me, but now… it's useless. Fucking useless!!!Betty and Draven placed their hand under their chins as they were completely into the game like they were gonna be given an award worth millions of dollars. "You're a tough opponent," Draven whispered to Betty who just chuckled. Whenever they looked at one another, my heart skips. It won't be long before he notices the things Betty has in common with him, and I just wish they would play the game and not keep on looking at one another.How would Betty react when she finds out that bastard is her father?H

    DravenHe lifted his up and his gaze was fixed on them again, the way they played, the way they laughed. "I guess he is a great father," he muttered in defeat. 'Well, you had the chance to be one but guess what? You fucked up that chance because of your pride.' he heard his wolf's voice again and he gritted his teeth in anger. 'And where has that gotten you? Nowhere of ourse.' He gave no response, instead he just kept staring at the family that were laughing and playing. 'You know I'm telling you the truth don't you?' 'Okay, I know. I know you are telling me the truth so can you shut the fuck up now? Please.' A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he heard nothing from his wolf. He slowly walked towards the family with his hands in his pockets. Hi." Aveline turned to him. Not in shock but in hate and he pressed his lips when he saw the look on her face. Her forehead knitted and a grim expression was visible on her face, he was about to turn when he felt a warm hand grab his

    DravenDraven placed Sophie on the couch and a sigh escaped his lips. "How is Aveline capable of doing this?" He rose to his feet and walked out of the sitting room with a concerned look. He got to a room where he brought out a first aid kit, and then he made it back to the sitting room. Slowly and gently, he cleaned the blood on her face and her hand before applying ointment and he bandaged it. "Your wolf must be weak so I guess it'll be faster with this," his gaze was on the med kit that was now arranged properly again. He took Sophie in his hands and made for her room before kicking the door open."Where am I?" Sophie's eyes opened slowly and her tone was low. "You're still home okay?" He dropped her on the bed and flipped the switch. "All you need is just rest and your wounds will be healed." Without waiting for a response, he shut the door behind him and made for the sitting room with worry etched on his face. "Aveline did that to her?" His hands were in his pockets and a

    DravenSophie pushed the security guard out of her way after ignoring his questions. She walked hurriedly to the door and pushed it open. As Sophie stood before him, Draven's eyes widened in horror, his mind struggling to comprehend the bloody scene unfolding before him. Blood continued to trickle down her hand, forming a small puddle on the floor, while her clothes were splattered with crimson stains, a stark testament to the brutality she had endured.Sophie's face was partially covered by her hand, which she held pressed against her cheek as if attempting to stop the flow of blood or reduce the pain. Her groans were low and anguished, a heart-wrenching expression of the suffering she was experiencing.Draven's voice trembled with shock as he stuttered, "W-what...what happened?" His gaze remained fixed on Sophie, his eyes scanning her battered form, taking in the severity of her injuries. As he stumbled backward, his eyes locked onto the claw marks etched into her face, a knowin

I didn't stop until I got to the front of my house. Without turning the car off, I sat there, staring at my bloodied hands in shock and disbelief. It was as though everything that happened was a dream.'What the hell happened?' I asked my wolf who had remained quiet through it all.'Talk to me. Are you there?' I asked impatiently. I needed answers and the only way I could get answers was from V. Only she knew what happened to me.'Please!' I called out when I still got no response.'So you remember me now?' She asked with a sad tone.'I'm sorry, what happened back there?' The need to get answers to my questions prevailed over the need to feel guilty.'The tip of the iceberg of t
