Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 053
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

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

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"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

AvelineWith the last straw of hope I could muster, I folded my hands across my chest and bit my lips anxiously. Draven had only but a few minutes to get down what a handful of professionals couldn't do. I didn't know if feeling hopeful was the best thing to do or if giving in to defeat would make the pain less painful. Looking at the other staff, I could see just how tensed and anxious they were as well. It was one thing to find and be able to log into the server and tackle whatever it was that was doing the damage and it was another thing not to have access to the server."Any luck?" I whispered a question to Kade who was pacing around the room. Equally tensed.He spread his hands raised to his shoulders to tell me that he had no idea as well.With the few minutes left, it was best to give Draven some alone time to focus on what he was doing; if he could do it."I'm in!" Draven's hoarse voice called out. Making Kade and I widen our eyes in unison. 'Was he playing some kind of game

AvelineThe only thoughts that refused to leave my mind even after getting back home that day were the thoughts of my date with Draven. We never went on a date, not when I was his plaything, not when I was working my butt off for his company. Not never in eight whole years.I scanned through my wardrobe in search of something to wear for the date. A part of me wanted to look hot and sexy, to remind him of what he lost when he chose Emily over me while another part of me wanted to dress tattered, just enough to make him repulsive and not want to have anything to do with me.After all the years I'd spent suffering under his cruel authority, I didn't want to have any link to him for whatever reason."Urgh!" I groaned in frustration and slumped into the bed one more time.He didn't deserve to have me dress up for him. Hell, he didn't even deserve my presence. I was going to wear whatever.After my resolution, I slowly drifted to sleep.The only thing that succeeded in waking me up wa

Aveline I felt a lump in my throat as our eyes met. Different thoughts started flooding my mind.Was this date planned by Draven and his sister? Maybe he brought me here to put me on the spot, even more, humiliate me.Even with the thoughts churning within me, I didn't look away, I didn't break our gaze and just held it, scrutinizing every move she made."Did you hear me?" Draven's tone reduced at the end of the sentence and I figured he'd traced my gaze to Sofia."What is she doing here?" He asked, in wonder. "Of all places to be by this time, she chose to be here now." His words came out in a grunt.I didn't reply or shift my gaze from my rival's face. I wanted to be prepared for whatever move she had up her sleeves.Her expressionless face that had been pinned on me finally shifted to the male figure seated beside me and her expressionless face lit up with surprise mixed with confusion.She was probably wondering what her brother was doing with me.Draven got up immediately and h

AvelineMy second Date with Draven made me smile a lotta times, and I hated myself for it. I could not believe that Bastard made me smile. "Urgh!" I buried my face in the bed and kept on passing the frustration to the bed by hitting it multiple times. He caught me off guard, yeah. That's definitely what happened. I'm pretty sure about that. 'Well, I'm not sure that's what happened,' V was back to haunt me again. She has been toying with my mind ever since I came back from our second date about two days ago. There was nothing to talk about from the first one since Sophie acted as an obstacle, it was evident in the eyes of Draven. Draven picked the beach intentionally but his reasons were unknown to me. 'I still can't believe you smiled in those photos you took with him,' she was speaking in her sarcastic tone again and I could not help but hit the bed harder. 'All you should make him see is your bad side…your ruthless side.'V never understood that I tried to show him the coldest

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
