All Chapters of Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Aveline"You must be Kade Pierce," Emily stretched forth her hand with a smile on her face. "I've heard a lot about you." Kade turned to me and I shrugged. "Thank you very much." He replied with a smile that did not go as far as his throat not to talk of his heart. "I don't think it's bad to admit that you are the one behind the success and massive growth of this company right?" She rolled her eyes at intervals whenever our eyes met. "It is, in my opinion, though; I don't know about others." The way Kade looked at me showed that he knew Emily and I knew each other. "In my opinion, I think it's Ms Nova; I've worked with her for three years, so yeah. She's the main person behind the success of this company." Emily scoffed in disappointment before taking her hands out of Kade's hand abruptly. "I'm sorry that I was not able to notice it sooner." I looked at the hand she stretched towards me in disgust. "Go straight to your point," I looked her in the eye. "I know you are here for so

Aveline"You don't have much time to waste. Your daughter's life is on the line, except she doesn't mean anything to you of course, you can let the cold hands of death snatch her from you but remember, she will never forgive you if you do." Emily's voice sounded once again, making me more aware of my situation. I was caught between a rock and a hard place, with a very difficult condition to be met, I was at my wit's end.My struggles to build the Nova empire were for the sake of my daughter, Betty, I wanted to make sure she wasn't going to have a tough childhood or a tough time settling down when she came of age like I did.I wanted her experience to be the opposite of mine, she was the fruit of the only thing that mattered to me in the past but, I wasn't going to let the same people who almost ruined my life years ago ruin my daughter's life.'There has to be another way, there has to be some other way I can get back my child without having to give up a large amount of my shares or

AvelineHappiness and relief were completely an understatement to what I was feeling immediately after my gaze landed on Betty. "You are not hurt Betty, you are not." "Mom?" She forcefully took her hand out of the cop's hand, and just as he was about to follow her, our eyes met, which made him pause. "It's fine." She jumped into my arms and I took her far above the ground level with constant chuckles. "I was worried about you." I kissed her on the forehead. "What really happened?" I turned to my back, and I saw Draven smiling at Betty. I felt guilty for a split second. I lied to him about his child, but it was for her safety and nothing else. "There…there was this man who gave me gifts at school," Betty's serene and innocent voice pulled me back to reality. She had started to stutter in fear, and I noticed that her grip on my hand tightened, which made me hug her. "It's fine," I patted her on the head gently. "All that matters now is that you are safe." As we were in each other's

AvelineI turned to Emily, my eyes wide with shock and confusion. "How did your mom find out?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't understand what was happening but I knew Beatrice had managed to get her hands on that information. The police had assured me that the interrogation was being kept under wraps, and yet, somehow, Beatrice had found out already. Was it that she never betrayed Emily, or was she doing it to keep her name clean?I guess the latter is just the perfect answer for it; Beatrice would not want her name to be stained, just like her reputation. She could protect it with everything she has, even if it means a lot of people's lives would be endangered. She was willing to do it. Beatrice knew quite right that if she did not act fast, then she would also be involved in the case since Emily was not good at suffering. I was pretty sure about that, the same goes for everyone around her but they probably kept it to themselves all in the name of protecting h

Aveline Sabrina was right about moving out of the city but that would only show how much of a weakling I was. I could not shake off the feeling that what she said was true but I just had to consider the fact that there are certain things I've built in this city. In Los Angeles. Moving out now would only mean I stopped halfway in what I had intended to do before coming here; my biggest enemy, which was the Harrington family, was not ceasing to make their move, especially Beatrice, who was their backbone. It was never my plan to get my hands dirty, neither was it my plan to pay someone to get their hands dirty, so I guess I was better off thinking of a solution to end Beatrice's dominance without death. “What do you say about that?” Sabrina's empathetic voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I turned to her with a sigh. I was unsure at the moment, but in the end, it would be a ‘no’, so saying it now would only clear her mind. “I don't think I should move out in a situation like thi
