I’ll get answers
Drake’s POVI sat in my office, staring out of the window, but didn't see much of the city skyline beyond the glass. The office, my haven, felt suffocating today. My desk was a mess of papers I should be studying, I should go over reports, but all I could think about was Valerie and her pregnancy.I had tried investigating, asking around people who may have known something, but every lead came up empty. Valerie was a master at keeping things under wraps when she wanted to. No matter how hard I pushed, I couldn't figure out whether the pregnancy was real or, more importantly, whether it had anything to do with me.My mind spun again to the fight with Charlotte, who accused me of still being obsessed with Valerie, and there might be that he was loathed to admit a grain of truth in the words. I did not want Valerie back, no, that ship had sailed long, long ago. But that uncertainty and chaos she brought into my life had ways of dragging me down into a whirlpool of doubt.A knock on th

Drake’s POVI stood before the high glass windows in the conference room, my reflection staring back. Behind me lay the city skyline, which I barely acknowledged. My hands were deep in my pockets. The press interview that was to take place later felt like an oncoming storm-one that I wasn't quite sure I would be able to handle. My mind kept on returning to the chaos Valerie had stirred up, her accusations, the venom that I released at our last meeting. It was boiling over with all of this now in just a few moments when I was about to be in front of cameras.My train of thought was cut off by the clicking heels on the polished floor. I didn't need to turn around, knowing full well it was Charlotte. Her presence hung in the air, sharp as a knife to slice through the thick atmosphere between them."Drake," she called softly, insistence underlining her voice. "We need to talk."I finally turned to her, and there she was, impeccable as always, her hair pulled back, her expression poised y

Valerie’s POVThe air in the room was electric as I took a steady breath, my eyes surging through reporters. For a moment, the only sound was that soft hum of cameras capturing every second of the confrontation. My eyes settled on Charlotte, who sat composed beside Drake, something darker flickering in her eyes, maybe fear. It was faint, but it was there, hidden just under the veneer of her polished facade.My lips arced into a bitter smile, and I spoke with the precision of one who had rehearsed every word. "Since we're all here talking about truths, let's not ignore the one that's been hidden for far too long. Charlotte, why don't you tell everyone about your little secret?"There was a collective intake of breath in the room. Even reporters, who were more supposed to get used to scandals, couldn't hide their surprise. The murmurs in the room grew much more audible, and tension mounted. Every camera now framed Charlotte's reaction,But Charlotte's eyes widened only for a moment,

Valerie's POV.I wasn't going to go this far if Charlotte had stayed calm and convinced her father and Drake not to humiliate me in public. Yes, This was my reason when I approached her ex-lover, I would do anything to get back my image and not ruin it the more, Drake must have felt on top of the world, while telling everyone I was just one of his fans, His fans! He should have used something else. I looked at Charlotte, who still had a shocked expression. I knew she wasn't expecting this. A Mischievous smile appeared on my face as I looked at both her and Drake, and then her Father. Look at him, trying to claim he has the best child and making her look like the only girl on earth. Never would it come to his mind that a day like this would come, A day when he would be humiliated by his daughter, and it all happened because of me. This was like a movie scene, Where the hero finally approached his happy ending, But this wasn't mine, I have to make Drake regret ever doing what he did t
