Allison’s POV“Allison”, a voice said from behind I turned back, surprised to see a familiar face. “Drew? What are you doing here?” I asked, shocked but genuinely happy to see him again.It was a relief to see someone who had helped me when I needed it most—especially after last night. I’d been wondering how to repay the favor.Before Drew could answer, Adrian cut in with his usual hostility. “Do you stalk me now, or what?” he sneered.Drew smirked, unfazed, and calmly sat down behind us.“It’s a basketball game,” I said, rolling my eyes at Adrian’s rudeness. “Anyone can watch, can’t they?”Adrian turned toward me, a flicker of surprise in his expression. “What? Were you talking to me?”“Yes, I was, Adrian,” I replied evenly, my tone challenging.I knew this would spark an argument, and frankly, I didn’t care. He had no right to speak that way to Drew—the same man who helped me last night when Adrian had left me stranded on the streets.Before things could escalate, Drew stepped in,
ALLISON’S POV.I walked into a house filled with noise and commotion. Despite being exhausted from a long day at work, I was curious about the source of the commotion. “Probably about the wedding theme or the clothes she would wear,” I said out loud. Evelyn, My sister is getting married in 3 days but it seemed like she was getting married in a year. She hasn't settled on any of her wedding preparations, and this wedding just seemed like it would be a disaster.I took off my shoes and hung my coat on the hanger. I walked to the kitchen to get water and probably a snack, something to help me relax. As I walked closer to the living room, I could hear my dad’s voice screaming at someone over the phone, he seemed very angry. “Find her! She couldn't have gone far,” he said screaming. My mom sat on the chair crying as my dad paced back and forth in the room. “Oh no, what has happened now”. I thought.“Dad, what's wrong, did someone die?” I said jokingly, trying to lighten up the mood i
ALLISON’S POV“Where am I? What happened,” I said.“Honey, you're going to be fine,” my mother said. My parents sat by my bedside holding my hands. The last thing I remember was my mother calling my name. I looked around and noticed I was in my room, an IV stand was by my bedside.“You got into a little accident but you're fine now,” my father said.“Accident? Aside from a slight headache, I feel fine” I said confused.“That's because we could the nurse to administer painkillers,” my father said with a tone of anger in his voice.“We know you ran away from home and we went after you but you got hit by a car. Why did you do that, you put yourself and the entire partnership in danger!” my father scolded.“Well, in case you haven't been paying attention, I ran away because you're forcing me to marry someone I don't even know!” I said raising my voice.“There you go with your smart mouth again, well my darling daughter, guess what, today is your wedding day. Now get up and dress up. We do
ALLISON’S POV“What? Where am I” I thought. My vision was blurry and I could barely see. “I must have fainted”. I whispered. Holding my head as I tried to sit upright on the bed.“Oh ma’am, how do you feel now” a middle-aged British woman in a maid uniform asked, helping me up“Who are you” I asked. “I’m Donna ma’am, the chief maid here. You fainted last night ma’am” she replied sternly.“Fainted?, Well, that was dramatic,” I said jokingly. “Dramatic!, everyone has been worried ma’am” she scolded.“Woah, you remind me of my dad, that man can’t take a joke, are you always this uptight” I said smirking.“The doctor told us you need to rest you are not fully healed from your injuries from the accident” she replied, ignoring my question.“So you will be on complete bed rest, you will use your drugs as prescribed and…” she trailed off as I interrupted her.“Hold on, how did you know about my accident?” I asked worried. “Even though I hated this marriage, protecting my family’s dignity matt
ADRIAN’S POV.Is this all you can give me!” I shouted frustrated at the team’s effort.“I asked for new ideas on how to improve the company and all I hear right now are useless ideas, is this the best all you can do” I screamed, throwing all the proposal documents in the air."Sir, I... I think," the team manager stammered."What was that? Finish the statement, Mr. Casablanca," I said, staring at him."I believe the company should expand its focus on car shipments, particularly in countries like Spain. Car sales are increasing these days..." he trailed off."I'm glad you didn't finish that statement, Mr Casablanc, because frankly, I couldn't care less about your beliefs," I stated firmly. The room fell silent."I give you 48 hours to propose better ideas. I want it on my table as soon as it's done," I said, leaving the conference room.I stormed out of the conference room, my frustration boiling over as I adjusted my tie. The meeting hadn't gone as planned, and I couldn't shake off th
Allison’s pov Get out! Adrian said staring into my eyes. He looked really angry and provoked. “What?” I asked shocked. He got out of the car and dragged me out, driving away. I stood there in shock wondering what had just happened. “How dare him” I said throwing my purse at the car as he drove away “God, can he get any rude or annoying? I don’t care if that guy got to you, but I don’t deserve this, I just said my mind! There’s something called freedom of speech, dumbass” I shouted, knowing that he couldn’t hear me “Maybe I shouldn’t have said that to him, now how will I get home” I thought , “Ughhh, he didn’t even let me take my damn phone” I whined, placing my hands in my palms. “There is something called freedom of speech, but pardon my brother, he isn’t used to treating ladies well” a deep voice from behind me said as he walked past me and picked up my purse. “I believe this is yours right,” he said handing me the purse. “Oh no, it's that guy that pissed him off

ADRIAN’S POV.I walked into the study still angry about what happened the night before. “I can't believe she spoke to Delvin!, I wonder what they spoke about,” I thought.I slammed my hands on the table still thinking about what happened.“Is she even home?” I thought“Maybe leaving her on the street was a bit harsh,” I said aloud remorsefully.Although I don't like her, none should be treated that way. I was just so angry that I didn't even think about it.I reached out to the landline and placed a call to Donna, asking her to come into the study.“Hello sir,” Donna said as she walked into the study.“I was just about to tell you that Mr. Drew is here and he asked to see you sir” she continued.“Drew?” I said surprised. “Let him in” I sighed, hoping he was here to see me about something else“Also Donna, please come back in after I see Drew..” I asked Drew and I were raised together.
