Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 121
AvelineI tried to convince myself, once again, that I felt nothing but disdain for Draven. But the truth was, I was just lying to myself. It had gotten to the point that I could not deny the fact that I had started to have feelings for him again, and I hated myself for it.As I sat in my car, stuck in the midst of a grueling traffic jam, I couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration. I pressed my head against the driver's seat, letting out a soft sigh as I waited for the traffic to move.My phone chimed, breaking the monotony of the wait. I glanced at the screen, my heart skipping a beat as I saw Kade's name flashing on the screen. He had sent me a text, which I quickly opened to read: "You're running late, is there a..."But before I could finish reading the message, my phone rang, Kade's name flashing on the screen once again. I let out a soft sigh, feeling guilty due to his constant texts. "Hey," I answered, my voice barely above a whisper."I am on my way," I continued, trying t

Aveline"You really want to do that don't you?" From the look he had on his face, I knew there was a high chance Kade would not back down even if I told him I don't plan on destroying Draven again. Even if he tried using his words to hide it, his stern expression exposed him. He was yet to say a thing after my question, and I never took my eyes off him; neither did he take his eyes off me."You are not tongue-tied are you?" I furrowed my brows as I watched him stare so intently at me.He shook his head sideways before turning away to me, he picked up the cup of coffee he had dropped earlier and slammed it against the wall. "Why?!" "Are you picking Draven over me?" A malicious scoff escaped his lips and I saw an evil glint in his eyes the moment he turned to me. I never wanted it to come to this, neither did I know it would escalate to this point. But Kade's violent reaction made me swallow the apology I had been about to offer. I was completely disgusted by the way he was acting, h

AvelineSabrina's eyes never left mine after she asked me that question, even though I kept avoiding eye contact with her. "No, I don't," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.She was not shocked by my response, nor was I surprised that she was not. We both knew that my relationship with Kade had been a complicated one, fueled by my desire to hurt Draven."You know, everything I did, everything was just to hurt Draven," I admitted, feeling a pang of guilt.Sabrina raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "I knew you couldn't keep up with it. Honestly, I wanted you to get back with Draven. He seemed like a changed person when he saved us from the taxi driver back then."A scoff escaped my lips as I rose to my feet. "People tend to change for a little while, all because of something," I said, my skepticism evident, and I rose to my feet to get a wine.Sabrina's eyes narrowed. "And you think Draven's current change in behavior is because he wants you back?"I paused, the

Aveline “Draven?” I called with a surprised tone while wondering what the hell he was doing here close enough to the school my—our daughter attends, not like he has any idea that he is her father. “Yeah, it’s me in the flesh,” Draven replied to me without even sparing me a glance; instead, his gaze was locked on Betty. He squatted so his eyes could be at the same level as that of Betty and probably so that she wouldn’t have to strain her neck to look at him. “Mr. Blue Eyes,” Betty called at him and reached for his face with a smile that brightened her facial features plastered on her face, one that was perfectly mirrored by Draven. “How was school today, Betty?” Draven asked and stretched his hand forward, laying her hair down. “School was fine; I had a lot of fun today and also learned a lot,” she answered with a joyous tone, smiling sheepishly and moving her head sideways from left to right and back to left again, repeating the movement. “You will have to tell me what the thi

Draven The surprised expression that made its way to Aveline’s face was expected by Draven; he saw it coming. After all, he just did something that was so out of character for him. He had spent the previous day thinking of how he was going to drop his apology to Aveline. He let out another deep sigh for the second time, or… was it more already? Draven had no idea, and he didn’t bother figuring out; instead, he answered the question that Aveline had just asked with a calm and gentle tone. “I said I didn’t get the chance to apologize to you the last time that we both spoke,” he repeated, even after fully knowing well that Aveline heard him properly earlier and just wanted him to repeat it to confirm that she heard him correctly. “Woah, that is one hell of a surprise,” Aveline said to him; the surprised expression on her face slowly returned to the previous serious expression that was there earlier. “I am sorry for treating you the way I did in the past; even though it was not comp

AvelineI stood at the balcony of my house and leaned against the rails, staring into space. To someone else it would have seemed like I was just staring blankly at my beautiful compound, but there was not just any sign to show whether I was enjoying the view or not; I was pretty sure my facial expression was blank. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case. I wasn’t staring at anything; my gaze was fixed on a particular area, sure, but I was buried deep in my thoughts. This would be like the umpteenth time that I am reliving the mostly one-sided conversation that happened between me and Draven. A couple of questions kept making their way up to the surface of my mind every single time, ones like; Am I really sure that this is the same Draven that I had known? If he was the one, what happened that changed him? Was it the case of Emily? Has this been his real self all along, or is he just a changed person? I never knew how deeply buried I was in my thoughts until Sabrina had to

AvelineThe next morning arrived sooner than expected, even though I had gone to bed a few minutes before midnight. As much as I would have loved to stay at home, I couldn’t; it’s not like I had any other choice other than to come here. It wasn't until I woke up this morning that I remembered about the meeting that was scheduled to be held today with another company. The meeting could have literally been postponed if I had wanted, or I could have called Kade and informed him that I wouldn’t be able to attend the meeting and he should be my representative there, but for some reason that doesn’t sit well with me. This was the first time I will be having a meeting with this company. I would love to be there in person and sign the contract myself. Which was the sole reason why I was currently in my vehicle and only a couple of minutes away from my company. There wasn’t any traffic on the way, so the estimated time for me to get to my company was the exact one I used and not even a si

AvelineHearing Kade bring this up once more was something that I tried to not believe. He never forgot about it, it was still in his head even though I had told him we should forget about it. I turned back on him and sucked my teeth with my hands defensively crossed above my chest. Although I was looking outside the window, I never took my mind off the thing Kade just asked me. He was behind me, still waiting for the answer. Saying yes to Kade's proposal just to torment Draven might be one of the biggest mistakes I had ever made in my life, and I knew there would be some sort of consequences attached to it, but I could not just see it yet, and I hope it never comes. "You know everyone grows impatient, don't you?" Kade's menacing voice jolted me out of my thoughts, and I turned to him with squinted eyes. "Come on, everyone knows that." No one shifted their gaze, and we just kept staring at each other until the loud tick of the wall clock made me turn to it, but I turned back to Ka

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
