Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 091
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

AvelineAs I walked into the building, a sense of unease washed over me, but I looked back and saw the guards coming behind me, and a sigh of relief escaped my lips. 'Don't tell me you are afraid,' V whispered to me, but I shook my head. 'Not afraid, just uneasy.' I said while rolling my eyes in the process. There was nothing to be scared of, not even Beatrice nor Draven, and the same goes for Sophie and Emily. Every one of them. "You stay at the door when I get in okay?" I said without turning back to them and they all chorused."Yes, ma." "She's the one." "She's the CEO of Nova Empire I can't believe." I heard voices from different angles and my forehead knitted. "Who are you here for ma'am?" The receptionist made me pause in my tracks, and I turned to her with a smile, and immediately I did, I noticed the shock on her face. With an arched brow, I asked. "Do you still want to know who I am?" She shook her head and averted her gaze from mine. "You would get used to me in your

An average person hates Monday mornings, but I have hated my life for the past seven years. Sitting in the back of the car, I clasped my palms together, rubbing them absently in a vain attempt to warm the cold dread crawling up my spine. But no amount of heat could ever thaw the ice that had settled in my heart over the past seven years.It's funny how time doesn't wait for you to heal and how it didn't wait for me to outgrow the scars that came from harmless wishful thinking. I shrugged and looked outside the window at the skyline of the bustling city and the most magnificent building in the whole country where I worked. But I am far from excited. I will soon be standing before “...the very face that ruined my life without even realising it, by never looking at me the way I wished.“Which spot in the VIP parking lot, is yours, Ma'am, the middle one”“No,” I screamed in response to my new driver, my eyes widening in shock. “Turn in the other direction,” I raised my hand and pointed.

The expression on Emily's face was smug, but taking a closer look, I caught something else beneath the surface—something darker.“I have heard a lot about you, miss...”“Aveline,” I completed for her. "Right," she smiled, pulling a perfectly manicured hand from her pocket and extending it toward me. "I'm Emily, Draven ’s true mate—and soon-to-be bride."Her words hit like a punch to the gut. My stomach twisted as I glanced between her outstretched hand and Draven , who sat casually in his chair as if nothing had been said. This felt surreal like I was living in a lucid nightmare or a scene from a dystopian horror movie. I took a closer look at Emily now, she was tall, with the gate of a runway model. Her nose was long and pointed, her face exquisitely sculptured. The red lipstick across her lips complemented the silver colour of her eyes. Was it what drew Draven to her? The beauty? Or was I simply not up to par? “I don’t think you’re much for handshakes with strangers,” Emily’s

The sun did nothing to alleviate my suffering as it shone merciless above me. It was an unusually hot day. Another day to face the bricks that would break my bones and leave my life in the shadows of pain."She's here," I heard whispers and everyone seemed to stare awkwardly at me, not like I cared since I had been dealt the worse blow of my life the day before and was really ready for anything. Maybe mot anything. I casually dropped my bag and buried my head in work to distract myself all day."Here comes the slimmy and shameless bitch." Someone said when I walked out my door to give a file to an employee. "Excuse me what?" I turned when I realized I was the only female approaching since the rest sat behind desktops."You heard me," a slightly tan lady eyed me but no matter how I tried, I couldn't recall her face. She definitely didn't work here."And who are you to think you're worthy of speaking to me?" I was done playing dumb and doormat. "Oh, I see you have wings simply bec

I was no fan of Emily especially after her display in the office the previous day yet I listened to whatever she had to say hoping it was good and Draven was coming soon but that was where I had got it completely wrong."What do you want Emily?" I asked folding my hand across my chest in a defensive stance."You sent a message to Draven didn't you?" She smirked as she walked in and shut the door properly behind her "And whatever message I sent has nothing to do with you either. " I was really irritated by her guts."I don't think Draven shares the same thought as you else he wouldn't have sent me here to talk to you in his stead." "What? Draven sent you here to meet and talk with me instead?" I was shocked. "Oh Aveline, what really do you expect from him?" She blinked like a cute puppy. "Draven sent me here because he does not want to have anything to do with you or your bastard baby." Her words hit me hard.My child was no bastard."He can't," I stammered because I saw him r

I blinked back the excess sunlight and shielded my eyes with my hand when I regained consciousness. My head hurt slightly but I was alive."Damn it girl," a familiar voice filled with concern rang through my ears before I could catch a glimpse of the company around me."Hi," I muttered the words as I struggled to my sit upright. "Hey, be careful." Sabrina my best friend helped me to a sitting position. "What do you think you are doing to yourself?" I saw the lines of worry on her forehead as she squeezed my arm gently. I didn't need a lecture, I wanted to know what happened to me."What happened?" I asked in the loudest tone I could but it still came out a whisper. The sadness in her eyes fueled my curiosity, "Brina, where..." she shook her head and I trailed off.If not anyone I had surely informed Sabrina about my pregnancy. "I didn't lose it right?" I asked still hopeful."I'm sorry baby girl but I couldn't get here fast enough after your call and I met you in a really bad stat

DravenDraven arched an eyebrow when Aveline snapped back at him with her words.He rose from his chair and placed his hands on the table. His broad shoulders were very visible, and his hair bounced upward, leaving the few strands just at the front of his innocent blue eyes that could capture one's heart with just a glance.His facial appearance was one to speak about also, but at this point, he was angry rather than confused. Aveline was still standing when he stood properly. "What did you think you are trying to do?" His deep baritone filled the room but Aveline was not fazed by it. Instead, she just shrugged. "I told you already, I'm packing my things," she heaved a deep sigh and opened her eyes. "I would be out of this place in an hour."Two lines appeared on Draven's face as he stared deeper into Aveline's eyes. "We both know you are doing this to make me beg you." "Ain't I saying the truth?" He added. A deep scoff escaped Aveline's throat. "I need nothing from you, Draven; I

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
Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 090
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
