Drake's POV I walked into the office, each step triggering the rage that threatened to drown me from within. I took my private elevator to my office and in less than ten minutes I was already in my office. I hung my suit on my coat rail and stayed down. My mind reeling in shock that Jane was responsible for all my mishap. I pulled out my phone and called the States detective.“ Hello Mr Drake,long time no talk." Detective Chu answered,his voice a mix of excitement and sense of humor.A small smile tugged away on my lips.“ It's been quite a while, old friend. How work been treating you?.” I asked,My voice laced with concern." I am quite fine. I hope there are no issues ?.” Chu asked,his voice dripping with skepticism.I sighed at my own end." There's fire on the mountain.” I answered gloomily." What is the matter, old friend? Tell me let me see if it is something I can easily help you out with.” Chu asked,his voice laced with assurance." I have been defrauded and it happens tha
Drake's POV Jane was caught while descending the second floor of the building. She was quickly apprehended by the company's security team and brought into my office. Sitting across from her with her knees on the ground and handcuffs around her wrists,my rage boiled over.“ What did you think of Jane? That you would be able to escape and get away with my money and your atrocious actions?. You are going to pay for this." Jane placed her palms together in front of her face.“I am so sorry Sir. I didn't try to escape. I was scared and being anxiety patients,my anxiety comes in situations like this. I am not a thief. Believe me Sir. I beg you." My expression darkened." Don't beg me Jane. I know you are the culprit and lying to me only triggers my hate towards you and my wrath will soon be upon you.”Jane suddenly began to chuckle, taking off the pleading veil, revealing my true identity.“Getting into your company was the easiest part of all this. I thought getting a job here would be
Drake's POV As I watched Jane being led out,a triumphant smile etched on my face showed that I was grateful to Detective Chu for successfully carrying out the operation.“ Thank you Detective Chu. You did a very good job today by apprehending the criminal. We'll meet later to talk about everything. Be rest assured that it's going to be a blissful evening. I'll text you the location.” I uttered and we exchanged handshakes. Mr Chu beamed at me,the skin around his eyes crinkling.“I'll be expecting you then Mr Drake." Mr Chu replied and quietly excited my office.A sigh slipped out of my mouth,my back resting against my chair as I got a wave of relief surge through me , clinging to my life like a good omen.My phone began to ring and I fumbled it out of my pocket,my eyes taking in the contact popping across the screen of my phone.Charlotte.My countenance changed from being happy to being ruined.“ Hello Charlotte. I wasn't expecting your call.” I replied immediately we got connected.
Drake's POV Charlotte’s face fell,she couldn't believe I truly meant what I said. She was having a hard time getting over the shock.I placed my walkie-talkie communicating device on the table infront of me and placed my legs on my table, crossing them over.“ You didn't just call the guards on me did you?." Charlotte asked, slamming her mouth shut after it had been on pause for a while.“ I spoke English Charlotte, not Spanish. I presume you heard me right." I replied, my voice laced with firmness.Charlotte chuckled, anxiety seeping into her bone marrows." You don't mean to throw me out all because I said I am horny. You can't chase me out all because I am in desperate need of your service." I narrowed my eyes and served myself a glass of whiskey. I took a sip from my whiskey leaving a hot trail oh sensation down my drain.“ The guards will be here any moment from now. It's up to you to decide. Leave peacefully or suffer being dragged out like a thief." I winked at Charlotte taki
Valerie's POV “I told you I was coming over.” Jasmine said, grinning widely at me as we stood outside the door on my porch.I scratched my forehead,my mind reeling in thoughts.“ You said you were coming?." I asked, bit remembering ever agreeing to let Jasmine visit me.“ If course or have you forgotten so soon? Don't tell me you have forgotten? Are you even remembering to take your drugs since you can't even remember that I was coming today." I sighed deeply.“ Of course I am taking my drugs. What makes you think that I am not. In as much as I forgot about your coming today, doesn't mean in would jeopardize my health by forgetting to take my meds." Jasmine lips pulled to a jaunty smile." I just hope you aren't lying to me. I am glad you didn't forget your meds even though you forgot I was visiting today.”“ So are you going to keep me standing infront of your porch or would you rather invite me in and treat me like a guest that I am?." I quickly slapped my forehead." Forgive my
Valerie's POV “ I'm glad you were able to teach her a lesson. You don't know how happy I am to have witnessed Charlotte receive the slap of the century." I muttered again and sat on my bed. Jasmine sat down on the couch in my room,her gaze sweeping across my room.“That's nothing to be too exhilarated about. She deserved it and it's a shame I didn't get to give her multiple slaps so she could realize that she messed with the wrong girl this afternoon.”“ I can imagine the stinging sensation on her face and to top it all,the sun is scorching and everything is going to be so disgusting to her. The grimace on her face was like a child whose mother's breast milk had been snatched away from her.”Jasmine and I chuckled to our heart content.“ So-." I began, getting up the bed and walking towards the door to my room.“ What exactly brings you to my house?." I asked, watching with enthusiasm as Jasmine's facial countenance changed.“ Why are you suddenly questioning my visit to your house?
Drake's POV Charlotte was gone and so was the distraction she could proffer. At least she was off my neck and I wouldn't have to discuss and talk about a quickie like I was horny for one. The embarrassment still lingered in the room. The way Greg ogled at Charlotte and I when Charlotte was whining about being desperate for office sex from me.Now my mind was at peace and I was back to work with my finger flying across the keys of my PC. A knock sounded outside my door and the door opened almost immediately, revealing Amos' impassive face.“ I didn't remember sending it to you, Amos. Or did I?." I asked inquisitively,my head buried in the keys of my computer.“Yes of course you didn't send it to me." He replied,his head lowered a bit.A sudden rush of adrenaline coursed through my bloodstream.Has any money left the company's account again?“Has there been another anonymous transfer out of the account?." I asked,my voice a mix of curiosity and fear.I had to know as quickly as possibl
- Valerie's POV "Yo—You're pregnant?" Jasmine stuttered “You are preganant!!” her high-pitched voice echoing through the room and into my already mashed brain. She screamed, pulling me into a bone-crushing hug as I gripped the pregnancy stick, harder than I would grip anything else. "I'm pregnant?" I choked out, gasping for air as Jasmine squeezed me tighter. "Yes!! And I'm going to be the godmother. This is the best day ever!" She squealed in excitement, finally releasing me to plant a kiss on my cheek. But I can't be pregnant. I can't. "Let me get us some fruit juice, since someone is banned from wine for a few months!" She exclaimed, leaving the room of my apartment penthouse. My world spun in circles, my body growing cold and breath turning ragged. How could I be pregnant when I wasn't supposed to be? I bit my nails, trying to calm my pounding heart as fear gripped me tighter. "Drake is one lucky man!" Jasmine returned, shoving a glass of juice into my hand and forcibl
