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.

    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

    Aveline The feeling of anger that was burning within me was now replaced with confusion and I ran my hand through my hair. "Please help me check if she's still there." My hand had started to fidget in fear. My body succumbed to the fear that was slowly taking over me. " I would do that right now." It was not up to ten seconds and she had started to pant. "I don't think she would have left the place, but since you are scared, I would do that right now." Sabrina said Betty was twenty steps away and she was yet to reach after ten seconds of jogging. Maybe I should have told her about the situation on ground and with that she would have been more careful with Betty. Some minutes ago, I was fuming with anger, but now I'm in a situation where I can't even think straight. I should have taken matters more seriously, but I failed to do that, and who knows if I was going to face the consequences seconds or minutes from now. I prayed to the moon goddess for a positive answer from Sabrina

    Sabrina"How dare you bring me to a motel? You think I'm one of those cheap sluts you play around with as you will?" Sabrina fumed, ignoring the look of total confusion her words brought to Julian's face. "Read my lips you scumbag, I do not want to do anything of that sort with you. Hell, I don't even want to be in the same space as you are and I'm barely coping..." Sabrina was raging on and on and it seemed like the more she spoke, the more angry she became so Julian tried to calm her down."Wait, wait, you think this is a motel?" He asked with a chuckle. He had no idea why he warmed up to the lady despite her fierceness. Maybe that was what intrigued him in the first place.Sabrina stopped raving and just stared daggers at him."You think I want to do something of that sort with you?" Julian asked again, a subtle smile of amusement on his face."Of course! Why else will you bring me here instead of taking me to the hotel we booked? This is not the name of the hotel. And why would y

    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
