2021-08-11 00:55:27Drake Blunt was already wondering what was taking Sarah Hopkins so long when a small knock on his door snapped him out of his thoughts. Adjusting his shirt as he reasoned the person knocking would be Anna coming in to announce the arrival of his guest, Drake made sure to assume a comfortable yet sexy angle as he relaxed into his chair.
“Drake.” The side of his lips dropped to his annoyance as Sarah strutted into his office. “ I am so glad you called me, I have missed you so-”
“Where is Miss Hendrick?” Drake found himself asking.
“Who?” The woman frowned as she walked closer.
“My secretary was meant to come up and inform me of your arrival before letting you in.”
“Oh.” A small smile that aroused Drake’s curiosity appeared on Sarah’s thin, well glossed lips. “I am pretty sure she is busy with some things. Anyway, I am so glad you called me. I was wondering if we

As she closed the tab that took care of the tenth task on the list of forty tasks her so called boss sent to her mail, Anna’s back hit her chair hard, she could not help but let out a really, really deep sigh.She had no idea what to thinkof Drake Blunt at that point. He definitely was trying to get on her nerves and he was really good at it. It was already past closing hour and she was still stuck with his assigned tasks which she was surprisingly not terrible at.But despite being fairly good at her job, she was barely done with half of her work and with tiredness coursing through her body, Anna decided to put off the rest till the next day and make the rest of her day slightly memorable with Alex.She already hit the shutdown option on her computer when solid footsteps came down the stairs. Her teeth gritted, her mouth made a sizzling sound showing her displeasure at the fact that he decide to come down just when she was stylishly trying to leave

The journey to his grandfather's house was quiet.Each man seemed to be in his thoughts. Drake was especially trying to link the fire incident to the recent happenings.If he didn't wish to be careless, it was time for him to acknowledge that something was wrong somewhere.Out of the blues, the Biker gang came back into his family's life and like it was expected by his father who made sure the tear from the gang was legit, it was affecting the company.The incident was yet to have a tumultuous effect but if the fire incident was in any way true, Drake could tell something crazier was coming his way.As he looked out of the speeding car, the buildings that dashed past his eyes made him recall his dream of following in his predecessor's footsteps. It was a battle on his end to prove his worth and if someone was going to ruin what he has worked so hard for, he was not going to give such a person a chance on earth."Drake?""Yeah, A

Something bothered Anna as she packed her stuff and left work after Drake and Alex hurried out.And that issue kept tugging at her mind till she reached Josh's house.Being a man that lived alone, he was extremely fond of pulling down his window drapes, so she was fooled for a second, it seemed like he was not around.But his front door was open and she walked in with ease."Josh?" Anna called as her legs passed the corridor that led to the main room.As her eyes compassed the entire setup of the room, she knew she had to do something about the disastrous state of his abode.Sighing as she bent to get a shirt of his off the gray, Anna recalled vividly how Darcy would take cleaning Josh's house so personal.She hated seeing his place looking like it was bombed a hundred times. No matter how tired she was, on entering Josh's untidy place, Darcy made sure she got rid of the eyesore situation of his house.This ac

Anna felt so stuffed as thoughts upon thoughts ran through her mind. If this man claiming to be Drake’s brother knows who she is, then Drake knew.It would be ridiculous if Drake didn’t know.That means, if he knew, he intentionally made her his secretary. That meant he has a plan of his own, a plan that would make her look like her a fool eventually.Anna scoffed as she reasoned it all, she almost forgot the man in front of her until he cleared his throat quite loudly.“It is sad. What happened to your sister is very sad.”“What do you know?” she asked cautiously.“I know that your family blames the company. I understand that.” He took a step forward, Anna took one backward, that look of caution still on her face."It must have been hard for you to accept the job offer despite what happened, but I am sure my brother has his reasons for doing so. But giving you a job doesn't right any wr

"I am honestly surprised, Drake," his father who was beaming with happiness said. "I thought you were still on your disappointing playboy path.""Oh, please," Drake laughed as it seemed like he had loosened up a bit. "With Anna by my side, I wouldn't dare to look elsewhere.""That's understandable." The hearty chuckle from his father filled the living room which had one sofa, a furnace, and a TV as the only occupants in the room.Anna kept sending murderous looks towards Drake who didn't look in any way bothered by the fact that he just told his father that she was his fiancee. He didn't even look at her at all.What was he aiming at, anyway, she thought.Did he really have a plan of his towards her? Did he find out who she was?Anna's head kept circling questions as she followed Drake and his father further into the exquisite building.The older Blunt looked back to face Anna."Anna, right?""Yes, sir."

Drake couldn’t tell what was going on at first. In fact, he thought she was trying to rebuke him for the sudden introduction to his father.But when his eyes sighted the blood that stained her top, just around the upper abdomen area, he got rid of his anger towards his family and held on to her dearly.“Anna,” he called, his eyes full of fright. As he cupped her cheek, he heard a loud rustle from a distance. It would have been a delight to go after the person running away but the woman in his arms was not allowed to die.“Is anyone there?” he shouted and got no response in return.Drake sprung into action. Gently carrying her in his arms, bridal style, he rushed past the pool and towards the front of the building where Damon happened to be having a smoke.His brother’s eyes bulged with fear as he sighted the woman who looked so limp in Drake’s hold.Before the younger man could give orders, his broth

Anna was surprised, she wouldn't lie.She never saw Drake as a man who would find it easy to fall on his knees, but she wouldn't deny the fact that seeing him that way made her feel a little better about the entire situation.He deserved to be dried in the sun for days, his knees not leaving the scorched ground. He deserved that much.But there was something else. Anna couldn't deny that fact.He was holding back a certain truth and taking all the blame for her sister's death.As Anna's darting eyes traveled to the entrance once more, she said, "Your apology doesn't work in this situation.""But," she could hear the sadness in his voice, "I can't give you anything else right now.""I want to know who killed my sister." Anna's head shifted abruptly in his direction and his gaze fell instantly. "You can't give me that?" she asked, her brows twitching as she studied the expression on his face.His hands on his laps for

“Can we trust her?” Alex asked Drake whose footsteps led him away from the entrance to the room as he tore his eyes from the image of Anna hugging her father dearly.“No. But we have no choice. I have no choice,” Drake replied, his entire being trying to ignore the pain within him that Anna Hendrick’s words caused him.“Are you really going to tell her everything? You haven’t even found it in you to tell me what happened that day.”As Drake increased his steps, his head finally found the strength to feel angry about the entire situation. Because of what happened back then, he had to hear Anna rain those words on him.Those hurtful, painful words.He knew she did it to get some load off her chest but the person she was dumping it all was not exactly as strong as he seemed. He had his battles he has been trying to fight, it was not certain he could hold on for so long.“Drake?”

“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
