"What are you doing?" Anna asked Drake who strutted into the room, his working laptop in his hold, his shirt untucked in a rather sexy way.

"I'm coming to work in my office?"

Anna sat up with a frown on her face. "I thought you gave me your office to use."

"It has been two days, Anna." Drake stopped in front of her. His eyes darted across the paperwork she laid out on the small desk in front of the couch. "I need my office now. And I am sure you are fine now."

"Are you insinuating that I'm lying about the pains I feel from being shot with a bullet meant for you?"

"Your guilt-tripping won't work on me this time, Anna Hendrick. I'm pretty much immune to your doe eyes now."

"I don't have doe eyes, Mr. Blunt."

"Yeah, right." He dropped his laptop and bent to gather the files on the table. As he arranged them, Anna watched him with a certain amount of seriousness. 

For the past two days, he was hell-bent on taking care of her.

    Drake felt like something tangible was removed from his entire being as he heard what his friend just said. He definitely wasn’t prepared for that result.He was so confident that he was his father’s son. Never could he have thought that he would come to view his mother as a woman who possibly cheated on his father. Such thought wouldn’t have come to him if not for his grandfather’s words the other day.He lost his mother at a young age but he remembered a lot about her and there was no way he would have thought that she had him for another man.“Drake?” He heard Alex call him and, with a small forced smile on his lips, he glanced at Anna who was looking surprisingly concerned, then, he locked eyes with his friend.“I guess my grandfather was right,” Drake said as he rubbed his palms together to aid him hide his true emotions at that point.“Drake, this doesn’t mean you have been living a

    As Anna closed the door that led to Drake’s office, she replayed the earlier moment in her head and something inside her wondered if the man was doing fine. “Ugh, I’m sure he is,” she spoke out instantly , shaking her head to get rid of that thing that was trying to act like she cared about the man. Soon, she was downstairs, her bag slung over her shoulder, her feet tapping the ground gently as she walked slowly so as not to worsen her injury. After a quick and satisfactory look around the space, Anna made for the elevator and soon, she was on the streets, waiting to flag down a taxi. Once she got one, she resumed her journey to her house, thoughts about lying in bed for the rest of the day raidingher mind and delighting her. And, she really needed the rest. For some reasons, her sleep always got interrupted by some unknown force ever since she came back from the hospital. The lack of adequate sleep sucked, but what sucked more w

    Her right breast was squished by something and Anna jumped out of her hasty reaction. While furiously questioning her action, Anna successfully pushed the drunk man off her, hoping that he was already on the path of becoming sober.With the nasty situation that just happened, she needed him out of her house before something crazier happens. And, she can only kick him out when he is sober.But, first, she had to stand upright, stay a few metres away from the man who was still sprawled on the floor. That thought was cut short before she could enact it.Drake pulled her into his chest with a force that she could not resist. With a frown, as Anna fell onto his chest and looked into his eyes, she tried to get off Drake whose lips were now wearing a smirk of victory.She tried once more, it didn’t budge.Then, all of a sudden, something lifted her from Drake’s hold, as gently as possible. But, when she landed on her feet and turned to see who

    Anna was so concentrated on what she was typing, she did not sense Drake’s entry. Even as he stood right above her and stared at her, she didn’t suspect his existence.“Hi,” was all he said and she jolted out of the trance she was thanks to the document she was furiously working on.“Oh.” Anna sat up, correcting her slouched figure. “Good morning, Mr. Blunt.””Hmm,” he hummed and she wondered what his deal was.“Is there something I can help you with?” She was hoping he wouldn’t mention how he showed up at her door. It must be really embarrassing for him.Drake pocketed his hands into his brown shorts and…Anna frowned for a second as she realized that the man wore shorts to office. He is the boss, of course, he can wear a bikini if he wants to but Drake never struck her as the type of CEO to dress to office like he had fishing plans at dawn.&ldq

    "What were you thinking, Anna? Were you trying to prove a point by going down there?" Drake was visibly trying to hide his anger as his gaze fell heavily upon Anna who was still trying to recover from the little heart toggle she had just experienced. "I know you hate me. I know you are constantly trying to show me that I should be suffering for my sins, but do you have to harm yourself to do so? Why are you so stubborn? Huh!" Anna said nothing still. Her eyes darted across the room which was part of a small building behind the main one. That small structure was where their running led them to and it didn't seem like they would be leaving anytime soon. Drake Blunt held her by her shoulders with a firm grip, Anna looked to the side. "Anna, speak to me. Say something." "I've been so unfair," came Anna's tiny voice. "How?" Drake was ready to forget the chaos in front of his company for a second. He was willing to hear words from the depth

    "Are they still outside?" Drake asked Alex who closed the door after he had gone out to have a look at how disastrous it was out there."They have entered the building. Their noise has filled the entire lobby. How would we work if they keep this up?" Alex placed his hands on his waist, tiredness on his face."And why does it have to be when we have something very important to do?"Anna watched Drake keenly. She could tell how distressed he was even though he wasn't showing it. Something within her wanted to hug him again and assure him that everything would be over before he knew it.Anna frowned instantly. While she wondered why she kept thinking of hugging him, she wondered who the person that claimed to have evidence was.She wanted to know that person desperately. Of course, because it is related to her sister. But, also because it complicated matters.This claim easily contradicted Drake's claims that someone else was

    "We should go upstairs so you can change your clothes," Drake calmly said from where he was. His buttocks were halfway seated on the edge of his desk, his arms folded as he watched Anna dab her wet body with the small towel he left in his office even though it had no use in the past.Well, it seemed like it finally found a use."Upstairs?" Anna asked, her distressed eyes wearing a different look that didn't make her seem entirely gloomy."Yeah," he grabbed his phone and keys, "there is a little penthouse on the last floor. I don't really use it. But there are days I don't wish to go home if you know what I mean."Anna nodded as she contemplated his suggestion. She looked down at her shirt which was now showing the outline of her bra. She definitely needed a hot bath and a change of clothes."So," she didn't sense him walk towards her, "are we going or not?""Uh..." She swallowed hard. "We can go there, I really need to change."

    It was really crazy.It was as though she had some hidden need for Drake Blunt’s touch.Anna felt some flutteringin her stomach as Drake’s hands sneaked past the t-shirt she had on. His palms traveled slowly as he deepened the kiss they were sharing.He had her lay down on the couch, his chest slightly brushing the tip of her rising nipples, he caged his lower body between her legs and the intense moment went on for a while.Touching each other, Drake breaking their kiss occasionallyto pepper the sides of her neck with his lips and tongue, his hands slowly caressing the parts of her skin that made her release a moan, within all these, Anna just knewshe wanted more.And she was going to do it her way.Playfully, she pushed him off her. Drake had a look ofsurprise as he landed on the sofa suddenly, that too, in a seated position.Soon, Anna was straddling him and taking her t-shirt off at the same tim

    “So…” Anna started the conversation as Drake seemed to find it hard. “Alex and Damon, uh? Who would have thought that they were working together?” “I am really sorry about everything, Anna,” Drake replied with a solemn voice, his eyes skillfully avoiding contact with hers. “Does that mean that Alex was aware of how and why my sister died?” Anna asked, ignoring his apology. There were things that needed to be discussed before apologies could take place. “I- I don’t know.” Drake had a little frown on his forehead as he stared ahead. “The details of everything that happened in the past weeks are still vague. I might know why Alex wanted the company, but there are still many questions I want to ask that remain unanswered.” “I guess you still want answers. As for me, I am tired of living in the past. I want to move forward with my life. I have gotten what I wanted- people know the truth about my sister’s death, so I have nothing more to do with IC. Inc.”

    Drake wondered if he should have accepted the walking cane from the doctor when he offered it. As he stepped out of the passenger seat while he told the driver to wait at the entrance, he felt a small pull in his limbs that almost made him lose his steps.But he caught himself immediately and steadied his feet.Drake took another look at the mansion and he was reminded of Alex instantly.A few years after his mother's death, Alex joined them in that very building and he made staying in that damned place bearable.He got a brother and a friend in that man.But it seemed their friendship had no choice but to be tainted. Actually, it carried a stain from the start if indeed, his grandfather did the things Alex said he did.That was why he was walking into the huge building at that moment. He needed the full story, he needed someone to tell him what could have gone so wrong that a son had to lose his father to death.

    Anna didn't know why, but she smiled as her eyes landed on the burial site of her mother and sister. The last time she had gone there, she had been shot and her mind was in a chaotic state, she had no idea where she was heading to at that point. But, in the midst of all that self-inflicted confusion, she had finally gotten what she wanted. The truth. She was able to find out the person that pushed her sister to her death. According to her initial plans, she had hoped to ruin IC. Inc as well, but it seemed Alex and the Windsworths got that covered. Just that their plans failed. Anna was glad it failed anyway, it would have been terrible if Drake had to suffer such a fate after everything he had gone through. After the cops took over the situation that had been so close to taking a deadly turn, journalists stormed her house. Somehow, they had gotten a tip to go there. Between the news of Drake's false sonship and the al

    As he stared into his friend’s calm eyes, Drake shivered withthe fear that had earlier departed him. He felt his palms itch and, at the same time, he felt sweat form on his forehead. As he looked away he instantly felt suffocated and strangely, he wanted to turn to look at Anna’s face. He wanted to take a look at someone who he knew was still on his side. Someone that is yet to betray him. But he couldn’t move. Alex’s grip felt murderous, he just had to stay still. Mr. Windsworthwas the first to break the ice. “I don’t think I have tabled our requests yet, Mr. Drake Blunt.” His smile was wide and victorious, Drake had to wonder what could have made Alex to team up with such a man. “What requests?” he decided to maintain the false calm his face had. Drake decided to rough that situation till it would become advantageous for him. “You want my company? Why? You are not entitled to it, Mr. Windsworth. Neither is your daughter.”

    Anna sniffled as she watched the deep brown liquid drizzle into her white mug while her trembling hand held the kettle. Her mind seemed to be far away from what she was doing but she was quick enough to prevent the coffee from overflowing.Biting into her lower lip as she set the kettle aside, Anna wondered if her father would be coming home that day. His disappointed look earlier was yet to be erased as well as Drake’s look of disbelief and hurt.As her palm felt the heat of the mug, she heard a knock on the door.Anna lifted her head and started to walk towards the living room. She didn’t bother to check the door because she was not interested in seeing anyone at that moment. Besides, she wasn’t expecting anyone, it would be useless to waste good energy by walking to the door.Now relaxed into the couch that faced the TV, Anna began to think about the next thing to do with her life. Her original plan had been successfully disrupted. Th

    Though bewilderedbeyond her imagination, Anna was quick to determine that Drake wasn’t just going to walk out of the door. She needed to make him know that he was accusing the wrong person.So, she snapped out of it and raced towards the man who was already opening the door on the driver’s side. The door slammed quite loudly as Anna positioned herself in front of him, her stance really defensive.The man sighed, an indication that he really didn’t want to see her at that point.“Drake…”“Leave, Anna.”She spread her arms to prevent his assess to the car door. “I did not do it.”“How do you expect me to believe you? Apart from Alex and my grandfather, you are the only one that knows that I am not my father’s son. Now, thanks to you, everybody in this city who has an interest in my family’s life know this fact. Thanks to you,” he pointed an accusing

    It was no doubt strange.According to Alex’s source, Damon had barely spent two hours in the prison yard when someone allegedly attacked him, stabbing him to death. This person’s identity, when checked, had no ties whatsoever to Damon or Tate, the convict that was hired by the now dead man.Clearly, something else was going on. Something fishy. But, Anna couldn’t care less.Truthfully, she hardly felt terrible about Damon’s death. But, she didn’t feel happy either. Her present feeling wasn’t something she could deduce easily, it confused her greatly.“Anna,” Drake called from behind as she reached for the door handle. Her fingers wrapped around the flat handle, her digits ready to push the door open so that she could finally rest in her father’s house. “You haven’t said a word.” Anna read caution in his voice.Exhaling hard, she turned to face him. Her eyes narrowed to wade off

    She had a dream.She had been chasing a faceless man whose laughter haunted her and caused her sleeplessness. She chased the annoying man past grounds, past bloodied bridges and when she finally caught him and saw his face, she smiled.He had the face of the man who killed her sister. So, she did the same thing he did to her sibling. She dragged him to the top of a building in the dirty, rotten-looking city and while looking down at the deadly height with a smile, she made sure to beat him up.Her legs kicked, her fists punched, her head butted, until the man bled senselessly.Then, while relishing his cries for mercy, she pushed him off the building, watched him till he fell and for minutes, she laughed as his body became a part of the city’s rottenness. She laughed so hard that she began to cry.Anna’s eyes were dripping tears as she opened her eyes to the brown-like ceiling. She wondered where she was after she let a small satisfied

    Anna let out a loud yawn as the night grew older. As she lifted her head from the dimly-lighted screen of her laptop, she saw that most of the men had stepped out, probably to relieve themselves or drive away sleep.Her chair swirled as she sat straight and closedthe device in front of her. Anna looked towards Drake and Alex who were still conversing over business issues that could not be handled in the day.She then decided she needed a break from the night work, and, also needed to ease herself.As soon as she got up, Drake’s attention was drawn and he got up as well, startling the man beside him.“Are you going somewhere?” he asked.Anna’s lips twitched as she wondered why he has acting like she was about to jump offa building. He certainly didn’t react that way when Josh and his men decided to step out for some air.“I-””I am coming with you,” he hurriedly said
