Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 073
Aveline"My mind was telling me the truth after all," Draven's mother looked at me and Kade with a smile. "From one to the other just to increase the growth of your company." Kade stood upright and he looked at me in confusion. Yeah, it was the first time he was seeing her but that was not the same for me. "What is going on here?" His voice was laced with confusion. "I'm sorry, but please, can you step out for a bit?" I raised my hand and he halted. "She is someone I know, let her stay. Not like she would be here for long." "She's right," Draven's mother pushed a chair close to my table and a smile broadened her lips. "I would be out of here in a bit then you guys can continue whatever you are doing.""And trust me, there won't be any interruption." She added with a venom laced voice.On seeing Draven's mother, my mood changed completely. The urge to confront her about what happened yesterday kept getting stronger but I tightened my grip on the pen I was holding."I believe it's s

AvelineHis words struck me and it felt like a lump formed in my throat. 'Draven's company?' Like he wants his shares transferred to Draven Harrington company?That is so out of the blue and it cannot get more annoying than that. With that, I knew that Beatrice was very serious with every word she meant from the start of yesterday. I needed no one to tell me that she had a hand in this. "You want to transfer your share to Draven Harrington company, why?" I asked in a disappointed tone. The mention of that name alone was so sour that my face contorted in anger. "I would love you to state your reasons please." Beatrice did not cease to start launching attacks after she left this building yesterday. At first, she started with what almost ended as an abduction. We were only lucky that Draven showed up. I was still unsure if that was one of his plans because there was no possible way he would be unaware of what was going on. "I just have this feeling that Draven's company would be at th

Aveline"Are you sure you want to do this?" Kade whispered to me but I left him hanging. I had to act fast in order for other shareholders to know what would happen if Draven's company did not partner with mine. Someone needs to let them know and I am that someone. Kade was still pacing around the room with his hands in his pocket. "Aveline do you really want to terminate your contract with Draven's company?" This was the hundredth time he had asked me this today. "Do you think I'm joking or something?" My face contorted in anger. "None of you have any idea of how hard I worked to attain this foot, so none of you should interfere in whatever I wanna do." The rage burnt from within me and as much as I tried to contain it, it ended up exploding. "You mean I'm like every other person?" Kade's words made me sigh. "Do you mean you would say no to me all because you say no to others?" I saw the emotion in his eyes.Things were not going fine at the moment and all I needed was just space

AvelineAs Kade searched my eyes for an answer, I continuously shut them at intervals. "Do you know how long I've known Sabrina?" He shook his head. "You keep–" I was happy when the door knob twisted until I saw Beatrice walking in with this usual smile on her face. Was she planning this?! Why does she always have to see Kade and me this close each time she comes here?This time, Kade was just as pissed as I was. The only person that was smiling in this room was Beatrice, it was a testament that her plan was working. An evidence that she was progressing.'It was not something to get all happy about since it won't be lasting.' I thought to myself as I turned to her. "You made a very big move so I guess you bought yourself the chance to come here." I moved some steps away from Kade. "There was nothing you were going to do had it been I made no step." One thing I admired about Beatrice was her self-confidence. Amongst everything about her, that was the one thing I could not deny. "Wh

AvelineYesterday was a very long day. Betty was asleep the time I got home, the same goes for Sabrina and I felt guilty for coming home at that time of the day.Claire was not around at the moment so Sabrina was the one that had to do everything for Betty, she did not bother to ask me about what I wanted to tell her yesterday. Beatrice left my office with a look of defeat on her face after I clapped back at her using Sophie's name but that was not a reason for me to lose my guard. Walking into the company today, my sole intention was to terminate the contract with Draven's company. I needed to show Beatrice how useless her company would be without support and I had to do that quick. As much as Kade tried to persuade me into overlooking what happened, it turned out to be unsuccessful. I had also informed all the shareholders last night that there would be a meeting at nine o'clock on dot. The reply some of them gave showed me how surprised they were but we were able to come to a c

AvelineI pushed the double door of the conference room, and the board of directors, along with the shareholders, all rose to their feet; I noticed that they were more than the people I knew. As I racked my brain, I remembered that I asked them to come along with their lawyers, and it seemed every one of them came with a lawyer. "You can have your seats," I gave everyone a copy of the files that were in my hand, and the sudden expression on their faces showed me how surprised they were.The only one who was not surprised was Kade and it was very clear to me as to why he was not surprised. "Please–" "Once we start you can say anything you want," I interrupted one of the shareholders who raised his hand. I saw the impatience in his eyes. "You need to wait, and while you are at it you can go through it." I finally sat down before heaving a heavy sigh. "This is sudden." I heard the voice from my left but I could not make out the name of the person that said it. It was not something stu

Aveline"What do you mean by it's not possible?" My face twisted in confusion. "Why can't I terminate the contract?" "I'm ready to do whatever it takes, no matter how far I have to go or how long it takes," I said, my determination and resolve evident in my voice. "I want you to tell me the steps I need to take to terminate the contract with immediate effect, so I can start making preparations."I paused, my eyes locked on theirs I knew it may take months to get some of the documents from the court, but I was willing to wait. I was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen. But what I didn't want to hear from them was that I shouldn't terminate the contract. That's not an option for me.I've worked too hard to get to where I am today. I've built Nova Empire from the ground up, and I won't let anyone or anything threaten its success. Beatrice needs to know that I'm not someone to be underestimated. She needs to know that I'm a force to be reckoned with.I took a deep breath,

AvelineThe thought of the next thing Beatrice would do disturbed me and as much as I tried to, I could take my mind off the threat she gave me. Sophie had Beatrice and Draven to help her, but there was no one for Betty except for me and maybe Kade. Just maybe. "Good afternoon, ma," one of the computer scientists greeted, but I took my eyes off him without giving a response to his greetings. I was weakened and infuriated at the same time after I found out about what would happen if I terminated my contract with Draven. 'No matter what happens, I'm here,' I understood that V was trying to be there at all times for me, but this was not something she was needed in, and sounding it to her would be rude, so I remained silent. I heard creaking sounds from a distance; it was the door that led to the conference room if I was not mistaken. The indistinct chatters I heard made me sure that they were the one. The flower vase was shattered on the wall by me and I screamed in anger after slam

AvelineDraven's call was all of a sudden, and I picked it up. I saw him storm out of the interrogation room; he might have found out already; that was the only reason why I picked up the call and nothing else. "Why are you calling?" Considering the fact that he might be of little help at the moment, I did not hold back from using my hoarse voice. "You should know that I'm always in the middle of something at times like this." I heard him sigh from the other end of the phone. "I'm sorry for that but I need–+"Just go on with what you called me for." I cut him off with a frown on my face. "I…I've got a favor to ask from you." I inhaled in anger. Calling me just to ask for a favor?! His company hijacked one of my shareholders after I granted him a contract out of pity and he thinks I would grant him another one? That is so stupid, just like he is. "I can't do any for you at the moment." My voice was infused with disdain and I felt no pity for telling him that. Not even the urge to t

DravenDraven walked into his office, ignoring everyone who greeted him; the incident in the station made him really annoyed. Every trace of smile was gone from his face as he summoned his assistant and his secretary into his office. "Now I'm going to ask you guys one question," he indicated by showing his index. "Just one and that's all." They could not look him in the eye, their eyes were fixed on the ground. "If we may ask, what is it, sir?" It was his secretary who spoke…on behalf of her and the assistant. "There would be a huge problem once you guys fail to answer me," he rose to his feet while inserting his hand into his pocket. "It would not be any different if I ended up finding the truth."Immediately they heard that, their hands started to fidget in fear. "We…I won't lie, sir." The assistant awaited the secretary's response while looking her in the eye. "The same goes for me, sir," she breathed a heavy sigh, and Draven nodded. "Look at me," he commanded while sitting at

Aveline Sabrina was right about moving out of the city but that would only show how much of a weakling I was. I could not shake off the feeling that what she said was true but I just had to consider the fact that there are certain things I've built in this city. In Los Angeles. Moving out now would only mean I stopped halfway in what I had intended to do before coming here; my biggest enemy, which was the Harrington family, was not ceasing to make their move, especially Beatrice, who was their backbone. It was never my plan to get my hands dirty, neither was it my plan to pay someone to get their hands dirty, so I guess I was better off thinking of a solution to end Beatrice's dominance without death. “What do you say about that?” Sabrina's empathetic voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I turned to her with a sigh. I was unsure at the moment, but in the end, it would be a ‘no’, so saying it now would only clear her mind. “I don't think I should move out in a situation like thi

Aveline The cop looked at me with disappointment on his face. "I'm…I'm sorry—-" "Sorry for what?!" My voice made the cop gulp in shock. Of course, things like this should not be happening, they want to let her go all because she has a mental illness?!There won't be any difficulty in faking it would there? I furrowed my brows in annoyance. "So you are going to let her go all in the name of some mental illness called schizophrenia?!" A cop tried to calm me down, but after shooting him a deadly stare, he stopped in his tracks. "What if we find out it's a fake?" Draven's voice brought silence in the interrogation and I saw Emily's mother shocked. "Just as you are not willing to break the law that says you should not jail a mentally unstable patient, then I guess you should be ready to face the court when you are reported for not doing deeper research on fake evidence." They all looked at one another before heaving a sigh in unison. "I don't think we should jail her." One of the cops

AvelineI turned to Emily, my eyes wide with shock and confusion. "How did your mom find out?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't understand what was happening but I knew Beatrice had managed to get her hands on that information. The police had assured me that the interrogation was being kept under wraps, and yet, somehow, Beatrice had found out already. Was it that she never betrayed Emily, or was she doing it to keep her name clean?I guess the latter is just the perfect answer for it; Beatrice would not want her name to be stained, just like her reputation. She could protect it with everything she has, even if it means a lot of people's lives would be endangered. She was willing to do it. Beatrice knew quite right that if she did not act fast, then she would also be involved in the case since Emily was not good at suffering. I was pretty sure about that, the same goes for everyone around her but they probably kept it to themselves all in the name of protecting h

AvelineIt had been over ten minutes since Draven and I were in the car and we sat in silence without saying a thing to one another. The only thing my eyes were fixed on was the road, but I could swear that I caught Draven staring more than twice. 'How can I be seated so close to the person who made life a living hell for me for eight years?' I thought to myself and heaved a sigh. 'I think I should have given him a hundred dollar note to board a taxi.' But are these thoughts coming now? It makes me feel so stupid. He was supposed to be far from me after our date, well he was, but not anymore. "Aveline." His voice made me gasp in shock and I looked at him with an arched eyebrow. "What?" From the look he had on his face after that question, I was harsh, but apologizing was impossible. It was never going to happen, I just hoped he knew. "I just wanted to let you know that I was not behind Betty's—-" "Please can we not talk about that right now?" I cut him sharply with what sounded

AvelineHappiness and relief were completely an understatement to what I was feeling immediately after my gaze landed on Betty. "You are not hurt Betty, you are not." "Mom?" She forcefully took her hand out of the cop's hand, and just as he was about to follow her, our eyes met, which made him pause. "It's fine." She jumped into my arms and I took her far above the ground level with constant chuckles. "I was worried about you." I kissed her on the forehead. "What really happened?" I turned to my back, and I saw Draven smiling at Betty. I felt guilty for a split second. I lied to him about his child, but it was for her safety and nothing else. "There…there was this man who gave me gifts at school," Betty's serene and innocent voice pulled me back to reality. She had started to stutter in fear, and I noticed that her grip on my hand tightened, which made me hug her. "It's fine," I patted her on the head gently. "All that matters now is that you are safe." As we were in each other's

AvelineFollowing slowly like a snail wasn't doing much to help my anxiety but the hope of seeing my daughter again made the slow drive worth it.Emily's car was ahead, and the two bikes were behind her, freestyling on the road like they were in some race competition even though I wouldn't know that I was being followed. Then I was the last vehicle in the line. I drove slowly so that Emily wouldn't see my car and it was killing me.My phone rang and I connected it to the car's speaker. It was Sabrina. "Hello, any update yet?" Her worried voice inquired. I could tell that she was tired.She decided to go from house to house on the other side of the city with Betty's picture to ask people if they'd seen her and I could tell from her voice that she was exhausted and worried out of her mind.She blamed herself for letting Betty out of her sight and no matter how I tried to convince her, it was like pouring water into a gasoline explosion. "Nothing solid for now, but Emily came by the o

Aveline"You don't have much time to waste. Your daughter's life is on the line, except she doesn't mean anything to you of course, you can let the cold hands of death snatch her from you but remember, she will never forgive you if you do." Emily's voice sounded once again, making me more aware of my situation. I was caught between a rock and a hard place, with a very difficult condition to be met, I was at my wit's end.My struggles to build the Nova empire were for the sake of my daughter, Betty, I wanted to make sure she wasn't going to have a tough childhood or a tough time settling down when she came of age like I did.I wanted her experience to be the opposite of mine, she was the fruit of the only thing that mattered to me in the past but, I wasn't going to let the same people who almost ruined my life years ago ruin my daughter's life.'There has to be another way, there has to be some other way I can get back my child without having to give up a large amount of my shares or
