At first it was a contract, made to meet two ends but when she gets booted out by surprise, the best thing to do is to get a divorce, right? Wrong! Drake doesn’t want her gone, doesn’t want the baby and doesn’t want the divorce and yet doesn’t want to love her, so what can Valerie do? And when she tries to impose the divorce, he cruelly threatens the one thing that she cares about, a secret she thought she had hidden so well… if he can go to such lengths, what would he do when he finds out about a baby that wasn’t supposed to happen.
View MoreValeria's POV Silence enveloped us for a moment. Thoughts of the incident wrestling in my mind.How could I be so foolish to think Drake meant every word of apology he said earlier? How ignorant could I have been not to have clearly read the handwriting on the wall?“That skimming scum. How dare he make a mess of you? What the fuck was he thinking? How dare he humiliate you in such a disgusting petty manner?." Jasmine asked, her voice laced with concern for my mental health.“ I don't know how I am supposed to react to this humiliation. My brains are at the verge of exploding. I can't handle it. You had to see the look on my face. The humiliation was unbearable.”Jasmine sighed from her end. I knew she could relate the humiliation and pain I was passing through at this time. I just wished she was here to keep me company and save me from the stress of having to spend the whole day myself." I just wish you were here but anyways since you aren't here I might be coming over later. I ne
Valerie's POV Shirley left to prepare the macaroni and cheese and chicken nuggets. I was glad she came to inform me. I wonder how disappointed I would have been to realize that my morning had been ruined by Charlotte and Drake and so also was my breakfast. Sushi made me feel nauseous but macaroni and cheese was a meal I wouldn't trade for anything in this life.It suddenly occurred to me that I was about to call Jasmine before Shirley walked in on me. I quickly dialed Jasmine's number and she answered on the second ring.“ Hey Jas?." I called,my voice laced with happiness that I was hearing from Jasmine after what had felt like enternity. “ Hi Val, what's up? Whats poppin' girl? I hope you had a terrific night rest?.” Jasmine asked,her voice laced with concern.I sighed, nodding my head as if Jasmine could see it and probably read the exhaustion on my face." The night was short. My sleep was interrupted thanks to Drake's selfishness. I shouldn't have gotten off my confort zone to
Valerie's POV “ She came with the intention of seducing me and getting me to sleep with her." Drake's voice replayed in my head like a string of melancholic guitar.Drake pulled Charlotte to his side,his arm wrapping protectively around her waist. He planted a peck on her neck bone,his eyes fixed on me as he did so.All I could wish for was for the ground to split beneath me and swallow me up, saving me from the sheer embarrassment I was subjected to.How was I too foolish to think Drake wanted us back together. How foolish WA I to think that Drake loved me? Why would I even forgive a man who killed his own child, our child? How stupid and naive can I be? I am foolish.Charlotte tapped Drake's chest seductively,her monstrous glare clinging to me like bad omen.“I knew you were lying Valerie. I knew you made it up. How could you be so cheap to think I would believe that Drake willingly gave himself to you on a platter of Gold? Drake would never love you. He will always choose me over
Valerie's POV My heart skipped a beat at the sound of Charlotte's voice.How long has she been eavesdropping on my conversation with Drake? What did she hear? Why am I suddenly scared of her when she's nobody?My resolve to stay impassive failed as my knee trembled beneath me.I quickly pulled away from Drake,my eyes lowered a little,not in shame but in a bid to gather my thoughts in case Charlotte throws a hilarious complicated question at me.“ What in the name of God is going on here? Charlotte ranted,her voice laced with disgust. She looked at me, her accusatory finger pointing at my face." You little slut,what are you doing in Drake's room and what are your lips doing on his?.” Charlotte asked and quickly inserted her claws into my hair, pulling it roughly.I quickly wrenched myself away,my eyes blazed with fury etched on my pretty face.“Don't you dare try to dishevel my hair again. Don't you dare raise your hand on me again. I would not smile at you next time.” I cautioned ca
Valerie's POV I was stunned,at awe and amazed when Drake offered me his apology, genuine and remorseful. A smile crept on my lips,my gazes intensifying and seeming to drill into his soul.“ I am sorry if I have hurt you in anyway. I apologize sincerely for being a pain in the ass Val.” Drake uttered and walked up to me. The proximity of our closeness sent a shiver travelling down my spine.I flashed a small smile at Drake, butterflies fluttered in my belly and I couldn't fathom the reason behind the reaction I was having. It was just a mere apology anyone could easily say but instead it sounded like a profession of love. It sounded like Drake was telling me now much he appreciated and loved me. I had no right to feel honored by Drake's words considering how much I wanted him to pay for his crimes but then I couldn't help it. It was strong. Some sort of magnetic force or a force greater than that. I couldn't resist no matter how hard I tried.“ Is okay Drake. You don't need to apolo
Drake's POV I didn't know how I could home yesterday. Maybelline I was teleported home or Freddie took me home or I staggered home myself but how ever way I did it, I just couldn't remember.The rising sun sweept through my curtains into my room, casting a warm glow over the furnitures in my room. The hugged onto my pillow,the urge to sleep weighing heavily on my eyelids. I had to wake up and prepare for work. Today was the board of meeting in preparation for the upcoming ball solstice next week Saturday.I had to meet with them and deliberate on the day,the venue and the drastic measures of approach in regards to the ball. We also had to meet and survey the advantages of hosting such Ball solstice party once a year. We had to meet and discuss if the party was taking immense funds from us or if it's refunding our purse. There was a lot to discuss.A yawn slipped through my mouth and I stretched out, tension vanished off my shoulders the moment my bone cracked.A knock pierced through
Drake's POV Freddie and I had cancelled four mugs of ale each at at this moment,it felt like I was hallucinating because everything thing became duplicated.“ To the wildest night ever. To freedom. To the both of us.” I called out downing my last mug of ale while watching as Freddie downed his rather too quickly.“ This is really a good time out for us.” Freddie muttered, exhaling deeply." Yeah it is." I muttered, facepalming myself.“ So why triggered you into organizing this late night friends hangout mini party?. Freddie asked, leaning closer to the table.“ A lot triggered my choice for a friendly hangout between the both of us. A whole lot one if which is that I have been able to resolve the problems that has been draining me mentally and physically at the office. It was a tough battle you know but luckily, I won and survived. The battle wasn't easy. Getting defrauded out of the blues almost almost made me develop high blood pressure but in thank God for Mr Sam. He's been quite
Drake's POV Your car broke down?." I asked again and Freddie nodded affirmatively. " I left home minutes before seven pm but along the way,my car broke down and I wasn't able to gey a mechanic untill a few minutes later. Once it got fixed, I was quick to rush down here as fast as I could. I apologize for keeping you waiting. I hope you aren't pissed at me even though you have every right to.” Freddie asked,his voice laced with remorse. Even though he didn't intentionally keep me waiting,I had every right to be angry because he would have called to at least tell me he was stranded on the way.“Why didn't you call? At least a phone call would have saved me the stress of worrying about you." I chided beckoning on a waitress who was attending to a customer close to us.The waitress nodded at me while finishing up her conversation with the other customers.“ I tried calling but it wasn't able to make the call due to bad network, happens that my phone broke down in the middle of the coun
Drake's POV The loud music filled the air. The bodies of pole dancers moved rhythmically to the beats of the music. I walked into the Salvatore bar,my eyes quickly took in the beautiful familiarity of the bar spread out before my eyes.I had visited the Salvatore bar a couple of times but whenever I visit it,it feels like I was a first time customer who was just coming to the bar for the first time. I walked over to a vacant spot,my eyes fixed on my phone as I awaited Freddie's call.Has he changed his mind or isn't he coming again? He asked me to come early and how he's the late comer. Is his wife nagging outrageously like he had said Charlotte was as well? All this rampages through my mind in search of answers which didn't seem forthcoming. My eyes caught something by the corner,a man walking up to me with a grimace on his face. He looked pretty drunk and the stenchy smell of ale was the first thing I could decipher when he stood barely a few inches away from me.He staggered and
