Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 027
AvelineAfter my discussion with Sabrina, I finally gathered the courage to leave. I'd had enough.Hell, even a fool wouldn't stay as long as I did.My discussion with Sabrina further opened my eyes to the fact that Draven would never come around. He would never look at me the way I desperately wanted him to,He would never sympathize with me if I got hurt the same way he does Emily. He would never look at me with those warm eyes he holds with Emily. I was always going to be at the backstage and I had to make up my mind.It was clear that I had nowhere to go or how to start but it was also very much clear that if I remained, I was going to meet an early demise.I had just three months left to wrap up my contract with Draven and with a mind made up, I returned to the office to finish what I'd started.Going back there, numbing myself to the insults constantly thrown at me, the lies cooked up against me, the irritation I was regarded with, I took it all in and even though it got worse

DravenDraven scoffed, watching Ave leave his office and as her footsteps receded he couldn't help but feel amused. It wasn't the first time she got out of her mind and threatened to leave, and it wasn't the first time she'd left like this. But,As he looked down on the contract agreement signed eight years before, being returned to him, he felt a sting at the probability that she might not return since her contract was indeed over.Looking at the document on his table, he reminisced over her words and I couldn't understand why he felt hurt hearing her reject him.It felt like he'd fallen down a skyscraper and hit his heart on the ground, shattering it to pieces in the process as her rejection sunk in. "Did you see that Ave girl? Storming out of this office like she owns it?" Sophia, his sister barked, storming into his office and effectively disrupting his thoughts."She almost bumped into him as he tried to talk to her, imagine the audacity!" She ranted but he remained calm, his ga

AvelineI'd thought that the man I met at the store would be as vague as he seemed but he was my saviour.After I met him at the store and he asked me why I was out alone, I bit my lower lips, thinking of what response to give to him.Telling him that I just ran from my mate and the city I'd known for all my life to total uncertainty was not a good idea so I broke into tears.Falling on my knees as I cried, he quickly held me up, took me to his place and cooked me a meal. It was the first home-cooked meal I'd had in a long time and I ate it with agility. After my meal, he let me sleep in the guest room, respecting my privacy and not asking me any questions until I was willing to speak. I wondered how someone could be so gentle with a person they barely knew. The next morning, I decided to tell him my rejection story and he listened with rapt attention, something that Draven never did. After I'd finished explaining things to him, he pressed my hands to assure me that everything would

AvelineMy eyes widened in shock and my pupils danced around in my sclera. I gripped my hand tightly. Pregnant? How? I thought I had lost the child so what does he mean by I'm pregnant?!"What… what do you mean by pregnant?" I stuttered in shock and confusion. There was no doubt that I actually lost my child that night so how is this even possible? The doctor closed the distance between us and handed me the paper in his hand and I looked at him for a second. I did not understand a single thing that was happening here. I moved my gaze to the paper and I gasped in shock again. A scan was done and it was discovered that a baby was in me?! He was not lying, after all; he was not. I covered my face with my palms. "How is this even possible?" I muttered in a low tone. I heard an approaching footstep, and I looked up; it was the doctor. "Why did you look surprised ma'am? Haven't you had anything with a man before?" For a moment, I balled my fist. "I had a miscarriage, actually; I t

AvelineThe storm was not over yet, it was something no one needed to tell me. As long as I'm still breathing, I would make any sacrifice for the child in me. As I sat on the couch, my hand gently resting on my stomach, I felt a surge of determination course through my veins. The memory of Sabrina's words echoed in my mind, a poignant reminder of the unwavering commitment I had made to the tiny life growing within me.With my lips pressed together in a resolute line, I steeled myself for the challenges that lay ahead. The weight of responsibility, the uncertainty of the future, and the sheer magnitude of the sacrifices I would need to make all seemed to fade into the background as I focused on the singular truth that drove me forward: I would do everything in my power to give this child the best possible life.My phone rang, and I checked who it was, it was Brad this time, and I picked the call up. "Hey, I'm back." My voice was barely above a whisper. I heard a chuckle from the end

AvelineFor months of working in this place, life has taught me a lot of lessons. I got rejected about eight times before settling for a job with lesser pay, but even at that, I was insulted a lot of times. There were times when I would want to yell and times when I would want to shove a pen into one of their eyes, but I just held back all the time. Every Saturday, I visit the doctor and he keeps singing a particular anthem to me time and time again. He would say: reduce your work stress so it would not affect your child, you can even stop work if you have to. In the midst of those struggles, I was most grateful to Brad and Sabrina, who kept on calling me day after day. "You need to do some training because you are not even qualified to work here you twat!" I gasped in shock when he barked in a rude tone. Another one of the customers dragged the item he bought from me in an angry way. "I'm sorry, I had to make sure the money was complete before handing it to you, and since it w

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

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

Aveline."Why is the car driving towards us? And with that amount of speed?" Sabrina asked, wide-eyed and alarmed. "Hold tight," I instructed and turned the steering wheel to change the direction of the tires so the moment I stepped on the accelerator, my car escaped the oncoming car by a little shift. They could've run into us if I hadn't acted fast. I stared at my rearview mirror to observe the white van that was behind us and noticed that the engine was still on and it was still coming for us.I sped off with hopes of losing the car but another one came from one of the bushes in front."Shit!" I cursed but didn't take my legs off the accelerator."Were they trying to kidnap us right now? Or was this Kade's doings? It had to be placed since we couldn't place a finger at what or who exactly was behind it.If I was the only one, I could've let them take me but I had my family with me and I wasn't about to let any of them get hurt. Not on my watch."The car doesn't seem to be stoppin

AvelineIt's been four days since Draven told me about what he saw and what he thinks might happen and even though Sabrina thinks we should go to Draven's pack and stay under his watch, I don't think I'm ready yet to go there.Not when Betty is involved. I could go alone or even bear taking Sabrina with me but with Betty coming along, it's a different ball game.The last years I spent there were hell to me and the memory still haunts me after years. I wouldn't want Betty to experience the slightest toxicity. "What do you think about this dress huh? You'd slay in it I'm sure. Necks would turn to you if you go in this." Sabrina was at one of her talks to try to convince me to move to Draven's park."I told you before already, I'm not going to let Betty go through what I went through.""Who said she's going to go through that? Besides, Draven's now on your side and so is Sofia." She protests."What if Sofia's just pretending to get me on good notes with her? What if Draven's in on it wi

Aveline Hours after Betty's birthday, I was sitting in my garden under a shade, alongside Sabrina. Betty had gone to school, the maids had come over to clean and cook, and they had all been dismissed; their services wouldn't be needed throughout today.The only service that would be needed is that of the guards who were at the gate. They had been there ever since the day that the news got released, with no dismissal for them. With Kade out there, my life was still in danger; he had threatened me. I need all the security and protection that I can get for as long as I can. “What's up with you? You have been lost in thought for quite a while now,” Sabrina said after tapping me to get my attention. “Really?” I questioned with a slightly stunned expression on my face; the question was a genuine one, though. Truthfully, I had no idea that I had been lost in thought, not until Sabrina tapped me.“Yeah. So, are you going to share what it is that is troubling you?” she questioned.“Obvious

DravenI told Aveline to go inside with Betty while I spoke with Kade and her eyes communicated how grateful she was for my intervention. She must've been so scared to see Kade here after their fight and it pissed me off to see the negative effect he had on her.Things are different now that I have another chance with her and I will not allow another man to threaten Aveline or her child. I couldn't protect them before and I am going to do everything in my power to protect them now."Go on and play in the swing section." Kade dismissed his niece with a soothing smile before pocketing his hands and shifting his attention to me."What the fuck are you doing here Kade?" I began, my expression stiff and unimpressive. "What do you think? I'm here for my niece's best friend's birthday party." He says with a nonchalant smile. "Cut the crap, I know that's not why you're here. And I know that you're being that stunt in there." My voice became raspy as my anger grew."Did something happen in

AvelineI make a swift glance behind Draven to see two serving carts rolling towards us, one was empty while the other was packed with plates and utensils with food in them.The guests were screaming and running out of the way. From the look of things, the carts collided with force and were coming our way. For some reason, I couldn't seem to move. My feet felt like they were glued to the ground. I looked at Draven's face which held a frown.The logical thing to do was to move out of the way but I couldn't -- we couldn't. It was as if we were being controlled by some remote."What's going on?" Draven blurts out and I know that it was as I thought. We both couldn't move.Something with the force of a magnet was pinning us to the ground.The carts roll in so close I think we're going to be run over but just then, strong hands and bodies push us to the side and fall over us."What the fuck was that?" Sofia asked after the carts rolled past us."I don't know." Getting on my feet was strai

Aveline. The day for Betty’s birthday finally arrived after what seemed like a really slow week. A lot of people were invited, and it was hosted in my house. The people that showed their face here were more than the ones that I had invited; some of them were Betty’s friends. I walked around to make sure that everything was in order just before the party started; it was less than an hour away from starting. There was a knock on the door. I watched Sabrina walk up to the door to open it. I didn’t bother turning back to stare at who it was; instead, I continued with my search. The person who knocked might just be someone I had invited or maybe one of the friends Betty had made in her class. “Aveline,” a familiar voice called, causing me to turn back with a smile on my face, one that stretched with a little bit of surprise. Immediately, I saw what she was holding. “Where’s your little girl? I have something to present to her myself,” she said, raising the box of cupcakes in her han

Draven. “Ok then, that would be all for now,” Draven said over the phone to someone who was on the other end of the line. He listened to the person’s reply, pulled the phone away from his ear, and slipped his phone into his pocket. Staring at the view of the city through his floor-to-ceiling window, he spaced out, remembering how the past few days had been. Aveline’s pack members' attack on his pack has finally been halted, and the peace has finally returned, all thanks to Aveline. She had also been the one to deal with the issue that had been trending on the internet, though she had been the one benefitting negatively from it, while it had only had a little impact against him. At that moment, the emotion occupying his heart was that of sadness, due to the fact that he was unable to help at all the past few days. That act was so unlike him; he was known well for always helping out in times like this and also coming up with solutions. The look in his eyes suddenly lit up; immedi

AvelineI cocked my head to the side with a raised smile and an amused expression on my face."Say what now?" I asked even though I heard her clearly.And she must've known and chosen to ignore or was just oblivious to the fact that she acted very strangely."I said I want a truce, between us." She repeated. Her face is straight.She must've been touched since I accepted to help her pack. Her beef with me was unreasonable. She should've known from the start but I do not tell her that and I certainly do not trust her call for a truce.We've been enemies for too long I'd gotten used to seeing her like one.However, it must've taken everything in her to approach me for a truce and blocking her out might not be the best thing to do since it's better to keep the enemies closer."My daughter's birthday dinner party is this weekend. Come if you're not busy." I said with a smile.There, I can watch her closely and find out if she has an ulterior motive. I expected her to frown and snap at me

Aveline. Immediately after I walked out of the house, I let out a long exhale to calm my raging nerves. I ignited the engine, and at the same time, connected my phone with my car and was about to place a call across to the huge guy I had fought in my pack to convince the remaining pack members. Mason. That was his name; I had learned it from him after the fight, which had been obviously humiliating to him.Just as I was about to dial the number, I decided against it and just decided to play music instead.I was really trying to avoid anything that would get me more pissed than I was.‘You will need to get your emotions in check before you do something that you might regret out of anger,’ V said in my mind with her usual calm tone.‘I am really trying to get them in check, but the words that Sofia said keep repeating in my head, and that is the exact thing keeping me pissed.’ I replied to her, my face tensed, forming a frown. ‘Think of something else, then,’ V replied and fell in
