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

DRAKE’S POV“Good night Drake. Thanks for the ride” Stephanie said with a smile as we arrive at her house.“It’s not a problem. I’ll be seeing you tomorrow correct?” I ask to confirm. 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

ANDY’S POVI swipe my hand through my forehead to clean my sweat as I clean up the counter again.I was getting tired by the second, but I knew I had to finish this shift so I could get the money.I check the time to see that I still an hour left to complete this shift.I let out a strained sigh, taking a seat on the stool behind the counter.The chimney dings as a customer comes in. 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

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

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

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

DRAKE’S POV. Stephanie steps out of the car as we stop in front of her house. We had just gotten back from the mall. She had a hard time picking the perfect dress, so I had suggested that we come back. I also ordered the store to send the pictures of the samples they had. The ride home had been somewhat quiet, and as usual it was quite expected from Stephanie, but something just felt off. I climb out of the car to go and stop her before she could enter into her house. “Steph, wait” I uttered as I close the distance between us. “Yes” “Is something wrong? You had been awfully quiet since the store. Did something happen?” I frown. She scratches the side of her head, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear before responding. “Oh…um… it’s nothing too serious, I can handle it” She stutters, looking everywhere but my face. “You know….?” I trail off, tucking another stray strand of hair behind her ear “If something is wrong, you have to let me know. I don’t like getting caught

ANDY’S POVThe slight beeping sound of the monitor pierces through my head repeatedly, making a slight groan escape my mouth.My head sways back and forth as my eyes open slowly. An ache jolts through my head as I try to move my eyelids, making another groan escape my mouth.My eyes slowly get accustomed to the bright room, as I take my time in opening them.I blink softly, my eyes searching the room if anyone was here.My eyes travel to the far end of the room to see Angel resting on Ethan’s leg as they both sleep peacefully.Ethan’s hand is resting lazily on her waist, twitching at intervals, almost as if he was checking on her, even in his sleep, with his head thrown against the couch, he still cares a lot for her.A small smile graces my lips as I weakly stare at the duo.I try to stand up but a sharp pain jolts from my lower body, making me groan loudly as my body yanks back down. It felt like I was being poked by a million needles.A small cry escapes my lips as the pain doesn’t

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. Because for the first time in my life, I could not do anything. Literally.I can’t walk when I want to, and I can not move either. Not because I don’t want to, but because I am not able to.And it is all her fault. It is all Andy’s fault. She put in this position.For the first time in my life, I have to come to a realization and face reality. I am helpless and I don’t have any hope until she says so.For the first time in my life I might have to at the mercy of someone.It would have been
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

Just one night She hates me
ANGELA’S POVI bang my head against the headrest repeatedly as her words ring in my ear.Does he know?Does he know who you really are?I didn’t think she would play that card. Cripes I didn’t even think she would go that far.I could barely recognize Andy, infact I no longer know who she was. At first as I was confused. I was not sure if I was talking to the same Andy that I once knew.What changed?Why did she start to use such vile words?All I tried to do was protect her and her baby, but she was too far gone to listen.I had to go what I had to do. But I realized too late. I didn’t realize what I did was wrong until I had come down from my high anger.I let my emotions get the best of me. I was also trying to protect Ethan. He was getting too mixed up in the whole thing.In the beginning of all of this, his family was threatened. I did not want to imagine what they could do next if they found out she was staying in Ethan’s house.Most importantly she was being too reckless and de
Just one night No more bsf?
ANDY’S POVI had to skip a whole day of work because I got home just yesterday to find my bed rained with bullets.My windows shattered and Aunt Claudia left traumatized. She had also gotten home to see the whole place trashed.She had to take the first flight back to Canada because she was too scared for her life.What would have happened if she was in the house when it happened? What would have happened if I got home to meet Claudia dead or something?That was why I got so pissed and angry at him. He took it way too far.But who am I kidding? For someone who could send a serial killer to my house, he could literally do the impossible at this point.I run a hand through my hair as I get to bus station. I could not stop pacing back and forth as I waited for the bus.Too far Drake. Too far.The ride home took so long that I took a nap on the bus. There was a lot of traffic for reasons best known to the universe.Today has not just been good at all and it’s barely noon. I could not sle
Just one night Series of pain
DRAKE’S POV“Glad to finally get your attention Andy” I state as she bolts into my office. 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
Just one night Filler
ANDY’S POVThe ride home took longer today because I got to the terminals really late and I had to wait for the next buses.It had to be the most stressful ride home, but it was all worth it immediately I saw my house in the distance.I tiredly walk to the house and knock the door. I had no strength to fish out my key and I just wanted my bed at this point.“Andy!” Auntie Claudia launches herself onto me as she pulls me into a hug.“Hey Auntie Claudia, I am happy to see you too, but I am so sleepy, but we can catch up on everything tomorrow, I promise we would” I tell her and she smiles.“Oh and I thought you were going to spend some time with us” She states and I frown.“Us? Who else is--?” My words get stuck in my throat as I spot Angela in the living room.“What are you doing here?” I seethe and she sighs.“Auntie Claudia-““Get out” I grit at her not wanting to hear anything from her.“Are you two fighting?” Auntie Claudia frowns and I roll my eyes not wanting to deal with this r
Just one night More hands
FEW WEEKS LATERANDY’S POVI buzz through the café as I take orders from table to table. It was getting more and more tiring as the days went by because my work hard because I was the only employee in the café.Hilda said she has not had clients like this on a long time and saw it as some sort of good luck charm…and always refered to the baby as some sort of good luck magnet.My baby bump wasn’t out yet, I was finishing my third month in a week and I knew I should be getting ready for the baby bump.That is if I researched the right thing. If not… whatever happens happens, Drake brought this upon us, and I know he going through the consequences on his own.“Waiter!” Another customer calls and I almost groaned out in frustration but I held myself.I take their other and go back behind the counter to get it ready when the chimney dings again and another customer enters.“Welcome sir, please have your seat I’ll be with you shortly” I greet, not looking up from my sticky note as I try to
Just one night More lies
DRAKE’S POVI watch the doctor as he takes my samples again, and placing them in the small tray.I let out a deep and tired sigh and I stare at the doctor with a bored look on my face.“So doctor, how long would it take for the test results to be out?” Stephanie asks and I zone out of their conversation already knowing the answer.If this turns out to be the same after this….if there is no change in the results after this, I would have to rankle Andy to come to me. 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. I had to be the one to bear the ruins.At first, I thought this was some sort of joke and a prank, until days and weeks passed and I couldn’t move a lot of
