Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 125
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"No I don't," I replied with a straight face and pulled my hand from his grip. "Come on Ave, you've been acting out of character since my outburst. Can't a man express himself?" Frustration filled his voice but I didn't care at all.He'd shown me just what I needed to end things and I was grateful for that outburst he called common.I rolled my eyes and made to leave but he blocked me with his broad shoulder, I was happy he knew better than to hold me again."I'm the one who should be pissed. You fucking told me that you still had feelings for your ex. The same ex who hurt you. While we were in a relationship. I can tag that as cheating but I didn't, instead, I want to work things out. Why don't you want to give me a chance?" I shook my head with a smile of unbelief. "You wouldn't do that. I didn't cheat on you and stop acting like we're married or something, you can't lay any claims even if I did." When would he realize that the longer he let his rage blind him, he was go

AvelineI squinted my eyes as though I couldn't see clearly, there were all pictures of Draven and I, meeting up at different places. Kade was sick!All the pictures were taken from angles that made them seem complicated, as though we were indeed seeing each other."Shit!" Kade knew all along all the times I met up with Draven, he had me fucking trailed! He should be jailed for that!My phone buzzed with a message notification.It was from Kade. "Piece of fucking shit!" I muttered before tapping on the message.It read: Hey love, did you get my message? I'm sure you know now that it's not a bluff. I'll be waiting to hear from you. Love, Kade.'My insides boiled as I read through the message. Who was this man? He was unlike the Kade I knew who was always understanding and kind, this monster was a manipulative maniac. Even through my anger, I knew one thing was clear; he was going to post all these pictures with a different narrative and a lot of people out there would believe his na

DravenAfter Draven met with Aveline, he took some of the pictures and made his way to Kade's office.He could handle whatever it was that was thrown his way but anything that involved Aveline was of no joke to him and he would take down anyone or anything that wanted to come in between them.At the gate, the security men quickly let Draven in, knowing who he was and what position he occupied. He stormed Kade's office to meet him talking over some documents with some clients. "I'm sorry sir, he forced his way in, I tried to stop him..." the secretary who followed Draven inside the office explained with a sober expression but Kade stopped her with his raised hand before she could finish the words. "You can go." He dismissed her before turning to his clients. "Shall we continue this some other time?" They both nodded and retreated after a quick handshake.Finally, he turned to Draven who had been standing by the door all the while watching as he dismissed everyone. There was no dou

Aveline My conversation with Kade didn't go as I'd hoped, I thought I'd be able to strike a deal to get him to delete the pictures but he was bent on having me leave Draven. That was his only condition and at that point, I could manage staying without Draven but getting back with Kade was out of the question for me.I just couldn't see myself with someone who had made it clear that he was not only obsessed with me but also an enemy of mine.Sabrina was pissed but she wasn't shocked to my surprise, she said she had such a feeling that he wasn't so pure. All I wanted was to be happy, I didn't even care about the revenge anymore, I just wanted to focus on the things that mattered but I couldn't do that now.I thought that Kade wouldn't be a piece of work, I thought that I could easily end things with him when I dimmed fit but little did I know. I was in for a bigger surprise."Did anyone look for me?" I asked my secretary as I settled into the office."No ma," she replied, helping me

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
