Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 039
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

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

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

AvelineI walked into my office and shut the door behind me. I would give Emily a taste of what she deserves; she has to know that the Aveline that disappeared three years ago is no longer the same as the one she trampled upon. After hours of working and going through files, I gently rubbed my eyes. A sigh escaped my lips, and just as I was packing the files, I heard a soft knock on my door. "Yes?" There was no response. Instead, the person just knocked again and I transferred my gaze to the door, curious.Who could that be?"Who is there?" My gaze was still plastered on the door. "It's me." That was no other person than Draven. A soft exhale escaped my lips and I pushed my hair behind me. "Come in." The doorknob turned slowly and he walked into the office with his hands behind him. "It's a nice one.""You should tell me why you came here," my voice was hoarse. "I don't have that luxury of time, my tables should tell you that."Draven wore a shocked and confused expression at my

DravenDraven stormed out of the building, but not in anger, in defeat. He hopped into his car and slammed the door behind him. "What's the problem, sir," it was his driver. He shot him a deadly stare that made him gasp before turning to the front and he drove out of the premises. 'You made her cold and ruthless, so you are the one at fault,' his wolf spoke in a firm tone. 'Shut the fuck up!' Draven yelled in frustration and hardened his jaw. 'You don't need to lecture me!''I warned you but you were proud…too proud.' the wolf did not cease to stop talking. 'You knew she was the best person in your company, the most versatile.' Draven face fell and he folded his arms across his chest without uttering a word. "Go faster." His voice was audible. His driver's gaze moved to the rearview camera and his face became etched with worry. "Sorry, can you come again, sir?" A slight growl could be heard and his hand shivered. "I just told you to drive faster, do you need a hearing aid?" T

DravenDraven walked into the police station with his hands in his pockets, and Sophie was at his right-hand side. She walked hurriedly towards Emily but she was stopped by one of the cops. "Get your dirty hands off me!" She yelled and forcefully hit his hand away. "Do I look like I committed a crime?"The cop just stared at her with his hands behind him."You don't even know if that so-called bitch Aveline told y'all a lie," she rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue. "You just believed her all in the name of what? She's a–"Sophie was cut short when Draven slammed his fist on the wall. "Shut the fuck up, Sophie.""You don't know if I'm saying–""Like I said, just shut the fuck up," his tone was low but firm. "We are not here for this." Draven turned to the cops who had a look of satisfaction on their faces. "What does she have to do before she would be set free?" Draven's hands were across his chest. "A fine and an apology," a man with blonde hair came out from their midst and E

AvelineI pushed my suit upward to take a look at the time and a sigh escaped my lips. "It was a few minutes past four," I promised Betty that I'd get home really early today but after looking at the files on my table, I shook my head."Another day to make it up to you, Betty," I picked up a pen and signed on a piece of paper before placing it back into its rightful place. I pressed my lips into a resolute line after I heard a knock on my door. "Who's there?" I arched an eyebrow. "The cops," I heard a deep baritone voice."You can come in," I paused. "It's not locked." The doorknob turned slowly and I saw them with Emily. She had a look of disgust on her face but I was not bothered one bit by it."She's back already," I muttered in disappointment. "I think it's too early." A cop took a step forward before placing his hands behind him. "Mr Harrington came to the station some minutes ago and he asked for the things she needed to do before she would be let out of the cell.""So has

AvelineIn the days following, I kept Draven at arm's length, replying to his greetings curtly and referring him to my secretary whenever he asked any questions. He tried to talk to me about what happened with Emily but my dismissive attitude passed enough message and he stopped trying after a couple of days.With his company working with us, we had to be involved every step of the way.And just like Kade said, it was a good collaboration as everyone was interested in what we were cooking.We even had other big companies knocking on our door to sign a contract with them and make them our subsidiary companies.We had a good first week as the collaboration was accepted by the public but as quiet and peaceful as it seemed now, I knew that it might not be for long.Even though Emily promised the cops to stay away from me, I wasn't so sure Sofia would stay away. I saw the scornful way she looked at me and I knew that it wasn't the end of the war yet.The truth was, even if it was the end

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

Sabrina The days moved by so fast and the closer the date of her meeting with Julian drew near, the more anxious she became.How could she be in a meeting with a man who provoked her every being? The fact that Aveline was being held hostage in his clan was not doing anything to reduce the anger she felt towards the man."Hello, Aunty." Betty's light voice cut through the angry woman's thoughts and she stared towards the door."Hey, sweetheart. How long have you been there?" Betty was glued to the side of the half-opened door, staring at her mother's friend with so much adoration. It would be no surprise if Betty said she was looking up to Sabrina as a role model. The woman was fierce and still so sweet. She had a large heart but never hesitated to call out anyone who was in the wrong."Not long. I just came by when I heard you were going out soon." Betty replied with a shrug.Sabrina smiled as she gestured to the girl with open arms."Come here, child." Betty ran into her embrace.

JulianJulian found himself looking forward to seeing Sabrina again and it got him excited as he reminisced about the last time he got on her nerves. They were supposed to have a meeting concerning their collaboration."Kade is asking to see you, my king." One of the guards announced with a bow by the door just as Julian was about to leave the room."He's here for what?" Julian asked as nonchalant as he could be."He said he had been trying to speak to you since the evening of your return from your first meeting at Aveline's office. He's been going mad about it and threatening to break in if we do not let him in." The guard replied. Making Julian stifle a laugh."Typical of him. Let's hear what he wants to say." Julian stepped out, to meet Kade pacing like a hungry lion waiting for its food to be served."You want to see me?" He asked Kade who wore a frown."You didn't let me in your chambers? Why is that?" Kade asked, fuming.He was pissed enough that he was no longer regarded as t

KadeKade walked past the lady by the door of Aveline's room and stopped before Aveline who wore a blank expression. It was as though she was not scared of him but at the same time, he could feel something, it was not fear, no. It was disgust."What are you doing here?" Aveline asked him, cutting through his thoughts. The look on her face confirmed his guess. She was disgusted by the sight of him."Surely, you do not think that because I let you out of the torture house, I'm not going to get rid of you," Kade answered with a smirk.If she looked at him with such disgust when they weren't in the clan and he hadn't shown her his real colors yet then he might have been a little bit disturbed by it but now, he had gone too far to let a little frown from her hold her back.The humiliation he had received from Julian was enough reminder that he needed to awaken the banished vampire army before everything he had worked for would go to ruin. "Just take this as a uh... break. You will raise
