Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 055
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

AvelineAt the question, I choked on the water I drank causing me to cough vehemently. 'Oh goddess, what did I get myself into?' I cursed my luck underneath my breath. I was short of words when our gaze met, "Are you okay?" Draven asked concerned but the cough was the least of my problems so I managed a nod. I expected all questions but not that.'Was this the time to tell him the truth?' I thought to myself 'Or should I wave it aside again?'I knew I was fucked either way.What was I supposed to say? At that moment, it felt like I was spinning in a circle. I tried to find the right words, but it was not just coming forth that I felt like pulling at my hair. I was about to wave it aside when I saw the pleading look in his eyes, the look of desperation was written all over his face and waving that question aside would only make him ask it some other time. 'Don't tell me you plan on telling him, Ave!' V yelled my name louder than she had ever done, and I clung to my gown like it w

AvelineI knew that something would lead to this since I stepped into this place but it faded earlier on. So how did he bring that up again?There was no way Sophie would not tell him about what happened the other night. Or maybe he saw in a messed up situation. I hated to admit it though, but he tried by keeping it to himself that long. It's not like he could do anything other than question me, actually, and here we are. "Aveline?" My eyes widened in shock immediately he called me out of the blue. "Yeah?" He stared into my eyes like he was waiting for the silence to speak for itself. I was not ready to tell him about it so I was fine with the way he kept staring at me. Although, it had started to make me feel like I had a hostile reception. Draven picked up his cup and took a sip from it before setting his eyes on me again."I asked a question," his lips compressed into a thin line. "These questions," I mulled over my options. "These questions, why do you keep asking them?" A

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
