Why 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 TWENTY- You're mine
DRAKEShe said yes.That's more than enough to make up for her rejection last night. I never thought her reasons would be because she has a child. But why didn't she tell me about this daughter of hers from the beginning?Last night I couldn't sleep. I just stared at the ceiling feeling so angry and dejected. I didn't want to fall in love to the extent where I'll get hurt again but it happened.But now, she confessed that she loves me also. She's mine now. I'll do whatever I can so I don't lose her. I don't want to imagine the pain I'll go through if I do. "Drake I'm set to go." She announced.I didn't notice her come in. She's dressed in a short and armless top. Wait, this is the first time I'm seeing her wear this. Why did she decide to wear this today of all days? Her body's revealing and... "Hey are you okay? You seem lost."I
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE - He's Jealous
CARINA. How did he get into the house without having the keys? It's surprising to see him in my house after we planned to see on Monday. I'm excited to see him and at the same time mad at him for breaking into my house. "Drake?." I called.He turned me around to face him. He had this smirk on his face that's even confusing me more. "Yes darling."I blushed a little but maintained a straight face. "How did you get into my house? And why didn't you tell me you were coming?." I asked him. "Your parents let me in."My eyes widened. My parents? I thought they went out already. "My parents? You met them here? I thought my sister and daughter told me they were going out." I scratched my hair in a way to remember if I'm wrong.
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO - Stay away from him
CARINA I can't believe she's saying all these to me. Is there anything between them that I didn't know about. The doctor has never acted like this before. "I'm warning you. Drake is mine and I always get what I want. I'll do anything to stop him from being with a social climber like you." She ranted on before walking away angrily.I stood there at the hallways wondering what just happened. How can she say that to me and I couldn't even utter a word because of how shocked I am. "What are you doing here?." I heard a familiar voice ask behind me.I jumped slightly startled. I turned to face him with a straight face. He has to tell me exactly what is going between himself and the doctor. "We need to talk." I said. "What's wrong?." H
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE - She's not my doctor
DRAKEMy head feels heavy so does my eyes. I slightly turned and tried opening my eyes without having to hurt myself. That's because I feel like everything is so hard to move.I heard beeping sounds and decided to really open my eyes. I opened my eyes and the light shone completely on my face. I looked around my room which is the problem because this is not my room.I checked around and saw that it's a room and a drip is connected to my hands. I removed the drip in anger ignoring the blood dropping on the floor. I tried getting up when the door opened and someone came in. "Oh my God sir! You shouldn't be up from the bed!." I heard Gina's voice.She quickly rushed to me and got me back on the bed. "Sir please don't get up. I'll go get the doctor." She said and rushed out.I feel dizzy and my head really hurts. How did I
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR - Let me be
CARINA I walked out of his ward and stayed at the reception. I don't understand why his mom hates me. I know this should be Suzy's doing, she must have said bad things about me to the woman.For the few days that Drake has been in the hospital, I've been denied the right to see him. I was called by Gina on Sunday that he has been admitted to the hospital and I came immediately to see him. Unluckily for me, Suzy is also his doctor and she didn't let me see him.It became worse when his mom came. She practically sent me out of the ward today just because I sneaked to come check on him. I don't really feel bad because I know I've done nothing to make her hate me. She just does. "Are you happy now?." I heard her voice said around me.Of course she's around me. I stood up and bowed. What is she talking about now? Why should I be happy about any of this?

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
