Because I'm still shocked and surprised about what he said, I didn't move or say anything. I just kept staring at him like he's a statue. Is he being sincere about his apologies? But how? He plans to make the rest of my life miserable and now he's apologizing? I like to think the pills he took hasn't affected his brain. "I'm apologizing doesn't mean I'll forget what you did or let you go. It's just to make things a little cool between us." He said as if reading my thoughts. "Yes sir." I secretly rolled my eyes. I was beginning to think he had gone crazy. At least his normal self is back so I know what to expect from him. "Can I leave now...sir?."He patted the bed. I don't understand why he's doing that though. "Sit here." He said. "Huh?." IRelated chapters
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWELVE - In trouble again
DRAKE I was curious to know if she's saying the truth or not. When she told me about her sister who has leukemia, part of me wanted to believe what she said. I am not usually this nice especially to people who steals from me but she has some sort of special effect on me.What are you saying Drake? I asked her to leave after telling her I didn't believe her. Then I planned something after she left.I finished working on all my files and decided to rest. I took a drink and a pack of cigarettes. I lit one and poured myself a drink. Then I put a call through to her room. "Sir?." Her small voice said. "I need to see you in my room now." I said and hung up.In no time she knocked my door but I didn't answer. She just came in after getting no reply. She must be used to this by now. I noticed her come in but I pretended not to.&nb
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER THIRTEEN - You're mine
CARINA I slowly turned around to face my judgement. I tried not to look at those tempting things that keeps giving me funny feelings. "Go dress up. We're going to work together today." He said.Huh.Did I hear wrong? He wants me to get dressed and go to work with him? This is not going to be good. I'm guessing he's doing this to make me suffer more. "Don't tell me you didn't hear me. You have thirty minutes to get ready." He added before I could say anything.I sluggishly got out of his room and walked back to my room. I quickly changed into a casual Jean trouser and yellow tank top. I let my hair fall and held the middle with a scarf. Then I applied little powder and lip gloss to my face.I went out and quickly prepared his breakfast. I brought it to the dining and served him. He walked in right on time and he kept giving m
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER FOURTEEN - In love with her
DRAKEI know I asked her to go get lunch. I thought she'd go to the cafeteria but she didn't. I went over there to check on her but I didn't see her. Then one of the workers told me she went outside the corporation.I sent one my guards to check on her and I was told she's with someone else. A man actually. I got so angry. How dare she go out with someone else?I don't know why but I can't seem to stand the fact that she's with another guy who is not me. It's seriously making me sick and angry. I waited impatiently for her to come and I vented out my anger on her. She even had the guts to question me. The nerves of this woman. "Get back to work." I ordered and walked out of the office leaving her alone there.I'm still angry and I honestly don't know why anymore. I really can't accept the fact that another man is looking at her at all. I opened the door to the meeting room and joine
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER FIFTEEN - A kiss
DRAKE Ever since my good friend Joe told me about what I could possibly be feeling for her, I've not been able to sleep or even get her out of my head. That's actually becoming a big issue for me for days now. I've stopped trying to hurt her but then I can't let her go no matter what.I think Joe just made whatever I'm supposed to feel for her worse. It's true that I'm indeed falling for her without knowing it. I think this has happened from the first time I set my eyes on her. That's why I wanted so badly to get my revenge on her when I could have just reported her instead.Morning came and I woke up and took my bath. I got out and met my morning coffee already in the room. I'm going to work with her today again. She shouldn't expect me to let her out of my sight after what she did yesterday. There's no way I'm going to let her be with someone else.After taking my morning coffee, I got dressed
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER SIXTEEN - Falling for him
CARINAWhy is he always bringing me to work to do all the unnecessary work. I thought he is supposed to have someone employed for this aspect of the job.I couldn't stop myself from laughing when his mother called him. At least there's someone he still respects. And surprisingly he didn't say anything when I called him mommy's boy. He just left the office for about an hour only to return with a strange woman.She's dressed like a whore and they seemed to be arguing. Until he did the most surprising thing and kissed me. I never saw that coming at all. Why did he do that anyway?He asked me to go back to work. I can't help the shock that passed through my whole body. He made my knees weak and my whole body trembled.I got angry and I didn't say anything throughout the day. I don't know what exactly I'm mad at or who I'm mad at rather. I just feel angry each time I remember seeing that girl at the off
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - Going for a dinner date
DRAKE I got downstairs and got myself some painkillers. On my way back to my room I met her at the entrance. She tried to avoid my gaze as always. I can't stop myself from looking at her always beautiful face. "Good morning sir." She said with her face down.I really am in love with this woman. Everytime I look at her all I want is her. I never thought I'd easily fall in love this way. She's sort of a special force to be able to break the walls I've been building for years. "Good morning and thank you for taking care of me last night." "Uh...that's really nothing sir." "Um... Did I do anything last night? Or did I say something strange?." I asked knowing I blurted out everything in my head.She blushed a little and shook her head. "I didn't hear you s
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER EIGHTEEN - I love you
CARINA I'm going on a date with my boss. I'm not sure that sounds good but that's what he wants and there's nothing I can do about it. I brought all these upon myself when I invited him into my life so I think I may kinda deserve whatever I get from him.He almost refused to let me go out today. He was acting all jealous and now he's brought me a dress to wear for dinner later tonight. He's just a piece of strange work. He is now fond of claiming me as if he's my boyfriend or something.Stop thinking nonsense Carina. There's no way he'd even ask you out. Unless he just wants to use you and go away.I got dressed by afternoon and went out to meet with Harry. But not without telling Gina where I'm off to. Drake's driver drove me to the cafe where I'm supposed to meet up with Harry. I met him sitting at a table. "Hi. Sorry I'm late." I said with a nervous smile.He stood up and
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER NINETEEN- I want you too
CARINA His lips are so sweet they taste much like strawberries. My hands found their way to his chest and his hair. I don't have the power to stop him, instead I want him to continue doing it.He finally pulled away and I regained myself. Gosh this is so embarrassing. Why did I let this happen anyway? I tried walking off but he grabbed me back by my waist. "Carina just listen to me. I'm telling you the truth. I've always promised myself never to fall in love after my first love in high school. I just don't see myself trying that again until you came into the picture. You broke all the barriers and made me fall for you without my knowledge. I love you Carina. That's the truth."I looked into his eyes and saw deep sincerity. Something I've not seen since I met him. I badly want to tell him that I also love him but I can't. I can't just let a man into my life after all I've been through. At least not so easily

HEARTSTRINGS Chapter 62 - Final chapter [Love wins]
DRAKE My men and I already surrounded the whole building. There's no way they're gonna escape from us. I know Carina is in real danger but I'm going to give it my best shot to get my woman out of there.Harry and Suzy are playing with real fire. They're not getting away with this one. "Should we just go in or let them know we're here first Drake?." Joe asked. I smirked, "They already know we're here. We will wait for them to come out and give us their conditions." Just as I predicted. They walked out with Carina as a shield and a gun pointed to her head. Carina looks terrified but she tried to stay as calm as she can. "What a pleasant surprise Drake. I wasn't expecting to see you so soon. Carina and I were about to go on a trip, but now that you're here, you will finance everything." He said trying to lighten the mood. "You're outnumbered already Harry. Give up and the police won't have to get
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE- Rescue
DRAKEI left my daughter with my parents and also moved Carina's family there. I can't risk putting them in danger now that Harry is going crazy. But I really need to get Carina out of there. Mom just told me about her pregnancy, I don't want that bastard to hurt her or my baby."Any updates on Harry's movement?." I asked the person tracking them.Harry already moved out of there after he must have found out that I escaped. I know he's really angry now, I hope he doesn't take out his anger on Carina. I have my men and the police searching all over the city for him. The boarder is full of police and they can't get past them easily. They are still somewhere around the city."I'm still trying to track them sir. But I'm sure I will get a good signal soon." He replied."Keep trying. Do everything you can."I went to my private living room where Joe and Gina are waiting for me."Have they go
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER SIXTY - Escaped
DRAKEThey sent their men to drop some food for me but I didn't touch it. I mean they tied my two hands and I'm beginning to have a big issue with this. Blood may stop circulating if they don't release my hands.Suzy walked in smiling at me. I am very sure that I will get out of this. I've been through things worse than this before. And I'm definitely gonna kill Suzy when I catch her."The boys told me you refused to eat. You need to eat something, you're not getting out of here any time soon and you might starve yourself to death." She said."You are a psycho Suzy. I don't care if I'll spend a few more days here. I am going to get out of here, then I'll come back for you." I threatened her.She looks taken aback by my outburst. But I thought she should be used to me by now. I would never do this if I were her, I won't think twice about shooting the life out of her. "Why are you doing this
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE - The plan
JOEI just got back to the city when I received the call from Carina saying Drake's being kidnapped by that Harry guy. Does that idiot even know he's playing with fire? Drake's gonna blow his head off when he managed to get out of there.I guess he never thought of that. His sheer stupidity will get him in enough trouble, that's so great.I waited for her for a while before receiving her text. I quickly used my system to trace her number, then I lost reception. I guess her battery died, but then I was able to get the location of their hiding place.I have one of my trusted men, Reece. He's going to be the one to do the job. They won't even know what's going to hit them, I can't go myself because I'm very sure Harry would recognize me."I can't believe he would do such a thing just because Carina rejected him." Gina said.I already told Reece what to do so I went to inform Gina about the
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT- Between them
CARINAI did not go back home. I know my parents and Drake's parents would all be worried about me right now. The only thing I want more than anything in the world is for my daughter and Drake to be okay. I hope Harry keeps his promises now that I'm staying with him.I am sitting on a chair facing the window in a room I don't know. He asked me to stay there while he makes preparation. Until I get married to him, he doesn't plan on letting me go out or talk to anyone. Not that he's forcing me now but then I can't do anything stupid because he still has the power in his hands now."Madam, I brought you lunch." A female voice said.I looked back and saw a woman about my age dressed in a work uniform. I guess she's the housekeeper here. I wonder how much Harry's paying her to partner with him in his crimes. I don't even want to know because everyone is going to pay for this."Madam do you need me to do anythi
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN - The deal
CARINAAs soon as I got in the house, I saw him seated on the couch in the living room smoking. This got me really surprised because the Harry I know would never go near smoke. This is not the man I used to call my best friend.Harry has changed a lot since I met him. He's suddenly so wealthy, he's violent and now he even abducts people just to get what he wants. That's not the sweet, loving and caring Harry I used to know.I suddenly feel a bit guilty. He said he has been looking for me for years only for me to say no to him when he confessed his feelings to me. I guess my rejection made him this way."You should snap out of it Carina. This is the new me. I am not the stupid and caring Harry you used to know." He said.I just stared at him unable to say anything. I looked around the house and saw men holding guns around the house. This is so dangerous and I fear for Drake and Fiona's life.
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX - Allies
DRAKEA splash of water on my face made me open my eyes. Another splash of water was poured on me again. Then I heard a whimper."Fiona!." I yelled."Daddy!." She called crying.She is seated on a chair with a gun pointed towards her. She looks really terrified and she's completely shaken. But then what can I do? I'm tied to a chair also."Princess I want you to stop crying. You're going to be fine okay? I'm going to get you out of here baby, don't cry." I told her."And how exactly are you going to do that Sunders?." A familiar voice asked me.I looked up and saw Harry grinning at me. He had this evil look on his face that makes me feel bored. I knew he was behind this from the beginning.When we left my mother's mansion, we had barely gotten far when a car crossed our way. I went out to check who the fucker was and that's all I remember as som
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE - They're kidnapped
CARINAI don't understand what is happening anymore. I am looking for Drake and now Harry's calling me acting creepy."Harry what is this? Why are you always calling me with an unknown number? What do you want?." I asked harshly.Everytime he calls with an unknown number, something bad always happens. I don't trust Harry. Not anymore.Ever since he confessed his feelings to me, he has drifted away and I don't know him anymore.He chuckled, "You should probably calm down Carina. I know you're looking for Drake and your daughter right now."What? How does he know that? Is it on the news already that they're missing?"How did you know that Harry?." I asked."Take a wild guess darling."My eyes widened. No way. Then it dawned on me what the reality is."Where are Drake and my daughter? What did you do to them? Tell me you animal!." I yelled.
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR - Pregnant again
CARINAI had a good time with Drake's parents yesterday. I've never been this excited my whole life. All these happened after I met Drake and I'm happy about it. I'm glad to have Drake in my life, he really made up for everything he's done to me.Some people will never accept their mistakes for the fear of being caught but he didn't do that. Drake's a real and responsible man.But I'm mad at him for not calling me since yesterday. I've been calling him and it's not going through either. I really don't feel well today. I've thrown up in the bathroom countless times today that I even don't understand anymore.Maybe it's the food I ate yesterday. My body doesn't usually react to food so... here we go again.I threw up in the bathroom again and washed my face. I walked back into the room and met Drake's mom.She gave me a weird look that I became confused and uncomfortable. I don
