The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife It’s time
Drake’s POV Everything that happened at the dining table wasn't something I had anticipated. I felt hurt for denying and lying against Valerie but there was nothing I could do about it. I had to lie. I was in a tight spot and lying seemed to be the only way out of my present predicament. I finished up breakfast to realize that I was the only one left at the dining table. Valerie had left - snuck out unnoticed. I picked up my last piece of sushi, stood up and headed to my room to get changed into my work outfit.I decided to go with Valerie's advice and took two bodyguards along with me. A middle aged man and a young lady of about twenty one years old. Maybe I need to hang out more with my bodyguards,for safety purposes as Valerie suggested.We drove down to my office and in a few minutes we were there. James rode rather to quickly and coupled with the fact that there wasn't any traffic even though it was a Monday morning,made the journey swift and less stressful.I took the private

Valerie's POV “ You think you are smart by defending Mia at the dinning table and making Drake recognized your authority in this house. You are a total failure for thinking I would easily let it go like that.” Charlotte ranted, barging into my room and disrupting my call with Jasmine. I glared at her confused, wondering why she rudely waltzed into my room without deeming it fit to knock like civilized people do.“ You can start coming Jas. Even though I know you are lying about still being at home. I can hear the roaring sound of your engine. I'll be waiting for you." I said and the line went dead. I gently slammed my laptop, focusing my full view on Charlotte." What the hell are you doing in my room?.” I asked, rising to my feet and making my way towards her.“And why don't you learn to behave civilized? How can you just barge into a room that's not yours without placing a knock on the door? Or are you allergic to knocking on doors?.” I asked,my shoulders squared in self defense.

Valerie's POV Jasmine's firm and cold voice slashed into the air, resonating with authority that got Charlotte and I to shut up and shift our gaze to the direction of the voice.Jasmine stood by the door,her gaze prying on Charlotte and I. I could see the distaste on her face. She walked deeper in the room,her gaze never left Charlotte's bewildered face.“What in the name of God are you doing in my friends room and what gave you the effrontery to ask her if she's dumb or not?." Jasmine asked her voice dripping with urgency and hatred. Jasmine needed an urgent answer. Jasmine was ready to face off Charlotte in a fair fight. I could relate. Her anger was palpable maybe because of the incident i told her happened this morning.Charlotte kept mute, racking her brains on the best reply to give or probably the best attack to throw at Jasmine's face. Seeing that Charlotte wasn't ready to give an answer sooner than later, I decided to speak, puncturing the absurd silence that had drowned us

Valerie’s POV“I don't lack attention. I don't care about attention from anyone except from Drake of course. I don't care if you would gladly give up your life for Valerie which i doubt but trust me when I say you need to look deep into who you call a friend. Valerie isn't worth your time. I'll repeat it over for it to sink in. Be wary of the beast you care so much about. Anyways, I just want you to tell Valerie to back off. Tell her to maintain her track and know her place in here. I can't believe she tried to get Drake to scold me today even after forcing herself on Drake and making him kiss her against his will. How pathetic can you be by the minute Valerie? You need to learn not to be too desperate. Drake is mine and mine alone no matter how hard you try to woe him,it isn't going to work. I just belong to him. Period!.” Charlotte sparked,her emphasis laid on the word mine. She wanted me to understand that she was Drake's and Drake's alone and this skyrocketed my anger. I had t

Drake's POV I loosened the knot of my tie, relieving my neck muscles of the pressure it was subjected to. I sat down,the bones of my neck cracking involuntarily.The conference meeting went smoothly thanks to Sheila's summarized paperwork. I didn't know what I would have done if he had professionally drafted it to be easily understood. I was indeed grateful for her extraordinary efforts in making my work easier despite having resumed work today.The door opened and Sheila walked in. She had actually knocked but my absentmindedness got the best of me.“ I hope the meeting went smoothly and I hoped my draft helped as well?.”Sheila asked, concern flickering across her eyes,her head lowered.I flashed a small appreciative smile at her.“ Of course it went well. Thanks for helping me out. You did a great job. I am quite grateful for that.” I commended,my voice dripping with genuineness.Sheila flashed me a smile and exited my office noiselessly.I refocused on the job in front of me when

Valerie's POV Now that Charlotte was gone,I could talk to someone who was not abnormal. Talking and arguing with Charlotte was exhausting physically and mentally. I just hope I don't develop a brain tumor because of her.My gaze locked with Jasmine's. She flashed me a cute smile. Her side dimple entrenched for a few seconds.My eyes sparked with amusement.“ Hey, welcome. Sorry I wasn't able to usher you in properly. Charlotte is such a nutcase and handles her things. How have you been, what's up?.” I inquired walking over and sitting on my bed.“ I've been great. Terrific should be the right word to describe how I feel.” Jasmine shot me an exhausted look." That's nice to hear. What can I offer you?.” I asked with courtesy.Jasmine smiled, waving her dismissive hand at me.“ I don't need anything Val. I came here to keep you company so it's my treat.”Suddenly my mind rolled back to what Jasmine had promised me earlier. A pack of homemade pizza but then I could perceive any aroma.

Drake's POV The day was far spent and imwas glad it was. The cool evening breeze caressed my skin as I stepped out of my company's building through my private elevator.I made for my car, entered into it and started my ignition. I fumbled out my phone and called Sam. He answered on the second ring.“ Hello Sam. How are you doing today?." I asked,my voice a mix of concern and frustration.I had texted Sam the location of our meeting earlier today but he never replied me , making it hard for me to decipher if he wa still interested in meeting with me or not.“ I am doing quite alright and I was meaning to call you before your call came in. How is your day going so far?.” Sam asked,his voice dripping with mischief.“ Mine has been going well,all thanks to God.” I replied running my fingers through my hair and straightening out my suit." I sent you a text at exactly 3: 35 pm and I never got a reply. I texted you the location of our meeting and it's already five o'clock so I called to i

Valerie's POV Jasmine stirred her smoothie , taking a mouthful slurp from it,her eyes shut as she enjoyed the savoury taste in delight.“ This is tasty.” she paused and swallowed. “The only fault it has based on my opinion is that the oatmeal overshadowed the remaining ingredients making it harder to taste the berries and the apple. Maybe a balanced mix of ingredients would help.” Jasmine suggested.I shrugged my shoulders, taking a bite of pizza.“ I love my oatmeal overshadowing the rest of the ingredients. It gives a crunchy feel to the mouth and that's exactly how I love my smoothie. Roughly blended and crunchy.”“ I guess we all have want we want and how we love it but if I was to make a smoothie of my choice, I'd use kiwi, bananas and almond nut. Milk is also going to be inclusive. Your recipe is good though but I will readily choose mine over yours.” Jasmine remarked matter-of-factly.I loved smoothies. Any recipe would go for me on a normal day but if I was giving an option

Valerie's POV Two weeks later.The doctor attended to me while the nurse administered a pill for me to take. It's been two days since I was rescued. A lot has happened over the past two weeks. Now I am here for the test results which were conducted two days ago.Charlotte had kept me captive for a week and two days before I was rescued. How Drake and the police found me was absurd but I was glad Charlotte was behind bars.I was glad to be free even though I stayed a week and two days in captivity.*Flashback*“Here's your food, pig. Make sure to eat up and be done in five minutes. I'll be back to collect the plate.” Charlotte hissed and spat into the food before placing it on the ground in front of me.She pulled at my hair and confirmed the tightness of the chains around my body, hissed again before scurrying out of the dirty dark room where I had been kept captive for only God knows when.For four days,I hadn't had anything except water. Charlotte had made it a point of duty to spi
The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife Force the guards to throw you out
Drake's POV My chest region wanted to explode. It was exploding already,my heart racing as I listened to Valerie's voicemail.Ron had forcefully taken the company from her? How? 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
The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife Sleep tight
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
The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife He convinced me to do it
Valerie's POV My legs vibrated beneath me as Drake walked up to me,his gaze devouring. He took the mic from me forcefully, his gaze shifting to the crowd.“I am so sorry for this misunderstanding fellas but think this lady is probably drunk and needs to be taken care of. 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? What right do you have to waltz in here and disrupt a party that lots of money was spent on to organize? Wh
The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife A loud murmur
Drake's POV My car pulled up infront of a the magnificent hotel, an exact replica of a castle in fairy-tale. My driver quickly alighted, turned around opening the door for me. 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
The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife Illegitimate son
Drake's POV It's been two days since i had the most terrifying nightmare of my life. Why would Valerie appear as an old woman seeking revenge? 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
The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife Breakfast is ready
Drake's POV “ Wait Valerie, listen to me." I yelled repeatedly but Valerie wouldn't listen,age kept on moving, her pace gradually increasing.“ Please wait for Val. 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. You need to come back to me. The driver is waiting. If we keep on going through this path,we might lose the driver entirely.”Valeria chuckled scornfully “ I don't mind losing the driver. I don't want to go with you. Leave me alone.”Valerie's steps increased as she surged deeper out of the light and into the darkness, navigating through the wood and thick bushes like she was quite familiar with her environment.“ You are threading into the bushes Val. Am sorry I called you out tonight. We
The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife Cheers to us
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. I want to care.” she tried to touch me,my devouring gaze stopped her hand halfway.“ I want my personal space but if you're willing to give me the space I need,get out of my way, I am late for an appointment." I sneered and shot her a glare.“ Drake, listen to me." Charlotte pleaded.I frowned,my annoyance flaring.“Get out of my way,I need to use the exit door." I ordered.Charlotte's feet didn't budge,it rooted firmly to the floor.“ pl–.” I shoved Charlotte away, stepping out of the room immediately." Sleep in the room
The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife Out of my room!
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
