Valerie’s POV

I quickly rushed downstairs to the kitchen and filled up two glasses of orange juice, two ice cubes for each and a slurp straw.

Just as I watched coming out of the kitchen I bumped into Charlotte who was also coming to the kitchen for the same reason as I was.

“ Well well look who we have here all alone and without her bodyguard.” Charlotte uttered,her voice dripping with sarcasm.

My gaze locked on Charlotte, shooting her a fiery and venomous glare.

“ Jasmine isn't my bodyguard and without her aid,I am capable of eliminating and taking care of trash like you. Having you out of the picture is an easy peasy thing to do. Alli need Id to frustrate you into yearning to pull your hair off your oilhead." I said, returning the ice box into the refrigerator.

Charlotte quickly took out the ice box , reopening it and scooping out five ice.

“ Jasmine is more or less your guard. Your sole defender. If she wasn't home would you have got the mind to challenge me? You've not got the

    Valerie's POV My dismissive comment was enough to put Charlotte in the thinking spot. She had to reel over what she just lied about.Did she just deny the fact that the baby is dead because of her? Or the fact that she is a murderer because of her unending envy towards me?I shrugged it off and made my way into my room to greet Jasmine whose gaze was fixed on a novel she had on her thighs.“ This is interesting!." She announced, shooting a quick glance at me immediately as I yanked the door open. She returned her gaze back to the book she was earlier engrossed in." You didn't tell me you still had Elmer's collections in your closet. I stumbled on it while you were away.” Safe added, collecting a glass of orange juice from me. My face pulled to a ,my frown deepening.When would Jasmine learn to respect my privacy and stop going through my stuff?“ When are you going to learn to keep your fingers on your thighs and not glued on ransacking through my clothes?.” I asked, my voice laced

    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

" 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."

Yeah it is." I muttered, facepalming myself.“ So why triggered you into organizing this late night friends hangout mini party?.

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.

  • The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife   What the fuck is going on here

    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

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

I thought they were working together in pulling me into mud? Is she making a mockery of me or is she damn serious?She sounded serious. Her voice dripped with fear and uncertainty like she didn't know the next step to take. I dialed her number but I didn't go through. Something was off so I decided to go home. I wasn't expecting her to be home but at least I could corner her while she's packing out of the house.I quickly entered my car and the driver sped off at full speed. We pulled up in front of my lawn for ten minutes. I quickly alighted, sprinting into the house.I quickly made it to her room, knocking frantically on her wooden door but there came no reply. I knocked thrice and still no response.What if she's in the shower?I tried to be considerate but then she had identified herself as an enemy. Fr

    Valerie’s POV I didn't know if Drake had received my voicemail or not but I hoped he did. This was all my fault. I should have listened to Jasmine. I tried calling Jasmine but the network connectivity of my surroundings was poor and I couldn't reach her.Luckily,I got lifted by a cab driver riding along my path and he brought me down to Drake's house. I got down from the cab, thanked the driver, and offered him a few bills which he kindly turned down before revving out of the lawn. I felt grateful for his kind lift after I had spent close to an hour trying to find my way home.I sluggishly carried myself to the porch, approached the door with a soft knock.My legs began to tremble beneath me. Here I was standing in front of Drake's house,a man I had just taken his company and a few valuable assets from him and handed it to his stepbrother.No response.I knocked again, this time louder and more pronounced.Shortly after,the door creaked slightly, opening to reveal Mia's face.“Welcom

Guards please lead her away.”Drake commanded his voice dripping with authority and power.Two men leapt forward and snatched my arms, grabbing and holding onto me tightly. They began to lead me away but Ron was quick to intercept. He landed both guard's a kick to their groin letting them retreat away and unrest erupted from the onlookers.This definitely wasn't what they planned to be their soulful entertainment but surprisingly they had no choice but to sit and watch it play out.Drake rage boiled over the surface ,his anger simmering onto his oceanic blue eyes.“ Why the hell did you do that to my guards Ron?

I stepped out of the car,the cool evening breeze caressing my skin. Charlotte stepped out as well,her arm quickly slipped around mine. She flashed me a sheepish smile, holding unto her purse tightly. I straightened out my suits, applying a fresh layer of deodorant, adjusted my glasses before making my way into the Hall which was bustling with loud music and bangers. Alot of guests had started arriving, staffs especially. Junior staffs to be precise.I looked around, my eyes dancing across the hall untill I spotted Sheila whispering into the MC ear.She seemed to be telling him to begin immediate actions since I was already in the room.The MC nodded understanding whatever she had to say. My gaze left thier faces and got focused on Charlotte who kept tugging at my suit.“ I don't want a single wrinkle in sight

Why did she constantly accuse me of killing our baby when I indirectly and directly didn't have a hand in it.Till date, I had no answer to my question. I literally just couldn't comprehend why she had to disguise herself as an old hag. I didn't take it so literal but I knew Valerie wasn't happy with all that had been happening to her. I was going to find out sooner than later.The foreign investors and I had lost contact. Sara had stopped receiving and returning Sheila's texts, emails and calls. She must have cautioned herself to avoid being snuffed out or caught by her Boss who would probably be livid at her. I had told Sheila to keep on sending texts untill Sara eventually replies.Surprisingly,the ball solstice was to hold tomorrow. It was such a great day anticipated by a lot of people. Me ,my stakeholders and my employees,the junior staf

I have something important to talk to you about. The road ahead of us is quite dangerous. You need my help in navigating these dark paths. Let me help you." I urged, calling into the night air but Valerie wouldn't listen.“ Leave me alone." She managed to say, her back h at me,her pace a little.“ It's late and dark, lonely and scary.

    Drake's POV “ Out of my fucking room before I lose it. You are a fucking chameleon. You always change your skin to fit a favorable condition. You don't care about others. You only use them to satisfy and pleasure yourself. You only use them when you have something to gain. When they have something meaningful to offer." Charlotte's expression turned pitiful,tears pricked at the corners of Charlotte's eyes.“Drake, I care about you. I am not exploiting you. I care.

    Drake's POV 3:45 Pm. I kept staring at time,my mind divulged of any means of keeping itself occupied until I was ready to leave.Sheila had dropped the audio tape from her interrogation from twelve junior staffs. There wasn't much attached to their conversation but I was able to pick out something. They didn't have contact with the foreign investors considering there were based in the ground and second floor of the building.Sheila had promised to continue tomorrow even though I saw how exhausted she was. Interrogating a total number of twelve staff members alone was no easy feat. I had stopped her from carrying on with the interrogation considering the company had seventy staff and ten contract workers.She couldn't bear the burden of twelve,how would she bear the burden of sixty eight more staff. There were other ways to snuff out a culprit and I would find it out sooner or later.The door to my office opened and Sheila walked in with a glass of water. I asked if it's almond time
