Just one night Between choices
DRAKE’S POVMatthew had advised that I got rid of her and truthfully it seemed like the most logical thing to do.Although it didn’t sit well with me, I had no choice.My father would rip my head off if he knew I got one of my night stands pregnant and I can’t ruin my chances of making him proud.Matthew left an hour ago, but I still couldn’t bring myself to make the call to the hired assassin. Matthew had promised the guy would do a clean job.But I was torn between two options, she keeps the baby and my life and marriage that is yet to start goes down the drain or I kill her and have her blood in my hands.I have ordered the deaths of many before but only because they posed as a threat to me. Although she poses as a threat right now, it just doesn’t feel right to end her life.It was my mistake too.Why do I feel bad for her?I shouldn’t even care about her existence because she was nothing but a fix. An object for my pleasure, to get a darn release.I run my hand through my hair.B
Just one night Events and surprises

Security helps ward off the crowd as I place a protective around her waistThe action causes a small uproar and more reporters try to break through the security.A security pulls out a gun and points it in the air. My hands fly to Stephanie’s ears to protect it from the blast.Two gunshots ring through the air causing utter silence for a few seconds before a scream is heard. It came from Stephanie.“For Chrissakes!” I cuss. “Come on, let’s go” I lead her through the crowd as fast as I can. Successfully entering the place were the event was taking place.My jaw clenches as we settle.“Are you okay
Just one night Ecstatic father
DRAKE’S POVWe got interrupted before she could reply, so we got out in a rush.We walk back into the event in utter silence leaving me to my thoughts.Did my Father know about this?Did he arrange this marriage knowing she has a child?.Did he want a grandchild so bad that he just had to settle for whoever he got?Maybe he didn’t know it yet. If he did I’m pretty sure he would have told me. He won’t hide such thing from me.I highly doubt that.I run a hand through my head as we get back to have our seats.A waitress leads us to our tables and I draw out a chair for her to seat. She kept her head down like she naturally would and as usual, didn’t say a word.The event drags on for hours and I was beginning to get bored. I only came here because Father wanted me to be here.“We would leave soon” I mutter to her, making her look up through her lashes.“Ready whenever you are” She responds with a nod and I grunt.The mediator mounts the podium now for the umpteenth time and I roll my ey

I seriously don’t know why we are meeting.My father must have something up his sleeve again this time.“Yeah, we have to go shopping together, for our wedding” She informs me.“Let me guess, my Father said so” I state and she responds with a nod.I could die before that old man at this point. I rub my forehead back and forth.“Alright, I’ll pick you up tomorrow by 4pm, I’ll have George clear my schedule and I’ll have him bring you to the address” I said and she nods, tugging at the latch softly before climbing out the car.She walks silently into her house and I wait till I was sure that she was already inside.I signal the driver to take me home and he replies with a small nod.I rest my head against the headrest throughout the ride home. I still have to speak to my father about the stunt he pulled tod
Just one night Swoon for you

An old man comes in and walks straight up to the counter.“Good day young lady, can I get a cup of lemonade? I’d appreciate if it was freshly squeezed” He asks politely.“Good day to you too sir, your cup of lemonade would be ready in a few minutes, please make yourself comfortable” I respond, leading him to a seat in the restaurant.“Thank you” He mutters softly.“You are welcome” I smile.I write down his order on a piece of paper before passing it to the kitchen counter.“Freshly squeezed Lemonade for table 9” I announce and a small ‘got it’ affirms my order.I wipe off the counter again and the chimne
Just one night Signatures and reservations
DRAKE’S POVThe buzzing of my phone catches my attention, and I drop my pen to pull it out of my chest pocket.“Mackenzie”“It’s George sir” He speaks through the phone.“What’s the news?” I swivel in my seat.“The crown investors are refusing to sign the contract sir” He Informs me.I jolt up from my seat and grab my keys.“And why not”“They are not saying no…they are just saying they would want you there before they can sign it” He explains and I sigh.“Where are you?” I tap the elevator rapidly.“Willy’s Arms” He states.“Why would they want to sign there?” I complain as the elevator opens.“Mr Honor had wanted to see Mr Williams and just asked that we met here and signed the contract” He said and I run a hand through my hair.“I’ll be right there” The line goes dead as I wait for the elevator to reach the last floor.I get to my car in no time. Driving out of the premises I get a call from my Dad.“Dad”“Drake, do you have any plans for lunch?” He asks and I furrow my brows.“No
Just one night More than a facade?
DRAKE’S POVStephanie takes a while before she gets back to the table.She lets out a deep sigh as she takes her sit.“Everything alright?” I ask.“Yeah… everything’s…fine” She answers a little distracted.“It doesn’t look fine. Was it your cousin again?” I furrow my brows.“No, it’s just a friend of mine begging for some money, it’s a large sum, she ran into debt and is looking to refund” She explains placing her phone back on the table.“I don’t mind helping” I mutter.“Oh no, you…you don’t have to, I have it under control. I only told you because you asked” She blinks adjusting the napkin on her lap.“Well, it seemed to bother you so much” I shrug.“Yeah it is quite worrisome” She tuck her hair behind her hair. My eyes travel throughout her face taking note of her features.She had straightened her hair out and it looked silky and smooth. I don’t know how make up works, but her lips were a bright red and a light blush complimenting the simple make up on her face.Her lashes glowed
Just one night Daggers and death
ANDY’S POV“Yes, this is Andy” I speak into the phone.The number had no caller ID and it was calling from a private number so I didn’t know who it was or why they were calling.“I’ll make this quick and easy” A deep gruff voice speaks through the phone and I furrow my brows.“Sorry who is this?” I ask.“The last voice you would ever hear. It’s your obvious last day, so I advise you say your last prayers” He states dryly.I scoff and cross my arms.“Are you one of those prank calls that try to scare people so they can give you money. Well I don’t have any money to give you” I remark.He laughs bitterly into the phone.“You’re a feisty one aren’t you? I hope you are this outspoken when I come to take your life” He said and I roll my eyes.“Are you trying to be a serial killer right now? Let me guess, it’s your first day on the job? Tell whoever hired you to give you a two star” I respond.“We would see about that” The line goes dead and I throw my phone back on the bed.I was feeling h

Just one night Reality
DRAKE’S POVMatthew paces back and forth in the office and I could not help but envy him. If my legs were working right now, I would love to do that too.“Can you stop pacing? You are sending the wrong signals to my brain” I complain and he stops in his tracks, flopping down on the couch on the farthest part of the office.The urge to run my hand through my hair, or plant my face in my palm gnawed at me so hard, but my brain and my hands were not in sync at this point.It angered me beyond measure.

Just one night Ask for help
MATTHEW’S POVMy shoe raps against the floor repeatedly as I waited out of the hospital room where Drake was being attended to.I am still yet to wrap my head around this whole thing, because it is happening so fast, everything is going on so fast and I can not even grasp onto one thing.All of this doesn’t make sense to me. I did now want to believe it at all.At first, I thought Drake was faking a story to just get rid of a girl. But I did not see the need to question him about it because it wasn’t the first time.I thought when all of that was over and we got rid of her he would tell me the truth like he naturally did.But I would not get past the fact that this was his actual first time of trying to get rid of a girl that he had slept with.Because all the girls he got with only spent the night with it and used it as some sort of flex. It was what happened when we got down with them.So how it got to all of this I what baffles me beyond measure. It was getting more serious as the

I think I have to change the door though.“Looks like slashing your tires wasn’t enough” She seethes as she closes the distance between us. Her hand lands across my face in quick succession.Her hand hurt so bad that I wanted to hold her hand to stop her, but my hands would not move.Luckily, Matthew comes in and pulls her away from me.“What is wrong with you?” He raises his voice at her causing her to give him a slap of his own.Matthew staggers backwards holding his face with a groan.“She slaps hard” He winces.“Put your hands on me one more time and see if I hit harder or not” She states at the top of her voice.Her eyes wide in anger and her fists clenched tightly as she stared at both of us.“Why would hit a sick man Andy?” Matthew raises his voice and she scoffs.“Why would you try to wipe a pregnant woman off the face of the earth?” She bites back.“I am sick and tired of all of your an

That would be the only way to get answers out of her.For some reason she would always answer my questions. Like she knows I would ask them. She always had a response to everything.But it all made sense when Stephanie explained that she bragged about it so much in high school.She just needed to find a rich man to pin it on and unfortunately for me, I became the victim.
