Drake's Pov

Mia kept talking about the burn on her hand when she came to my office, thanks to Charlotte, she had hurt herself.

Mia was very fragile, she looked like a perfect delicate piece of human parts. I couldn't see the burns she complained about but I didn't play light on her complaints at all.

"What do you want?" I asked gently.

"I want you to make the pain go away, after all it's all your fault for keeping such a clumsy woman as a secretary," she pouted and almost cried.

"Mia..." I breathed, Charlotte wasn't clumsy, she did almost everything right and that was why I put up with her that long.

Like she read my thoughts she added, "or maybe she doesn't like me and wanted to hurt me, after all I'm taking what belongs to her from—"

"I belong to you Mia, you know it." I massaged my temples not willing to start a fight with her, especially not over Charlotte. She wasn't worth it at all.

"Come," I held out a hand to her.

"Where are we going?" She placed her hand on mine an

The fact that he's end game is further proof that misogyny has the romance genre in a secure chokehold

  • After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss    Chapter 0058

    Charlotte’s POV It's a new Monday. New and beautiful day. Enough of this whole sadness. I am putting all the guilt and weakness I feel behind me. Back to the plan. I have to beat Watson Holdings by a large Margin. He lost a child, sad but he never acted like he would be a good father. If he had he wouldn't have acted like he did when I told him I was carrying his child, even though he never loved me, he still was supposed to show remorse when he heard I lost the baby. Anyway that aside, I am not going to feel any more bad for him, not my fault, he probably is getting his payback and my mission is to bring more of that payback to him. I got to the office feeling brighter. Sat down to begin the day's work. "Isabelle, can you get me the things I have on my to-do list today? I feel good, I want to double up on my progress, especially on that contract with Watson Holdings" I spoke to Isabelle through the office phone. "Yes ma'am, just give me a few minutes, I will bring them to you," S

    Drake's POVIt's been two days here in this house and I have been unable to communicate with Mia. She had barely said two words to me. This whole house is driving me nuts. I have to go out, I just have to be heard or else I will lose my shit. I have to talk to someone who can understand what I feel.I picked up my phone to call Jaden."Hello Drake my man, what's up" Jaden said as he picked up the call."Hello man, are you free, I need to speak to you" I replied with a worried voice."What's up, I am free, yeah, we can talk. Is everything okay with you?" Jaden asked with a serious tone."Yeah, I just need to talk. Not on the phone, I mean can we meet?" I said"Of course,you mean now? Where do you want us to meet?" He sensed that whatever I had to discuss was serious."Let's meet at our usual bar,see you there in fifteen minutes?" I asked"Sure sure, I will be with you soon" He answered----"Hey man, what's up?" Jaden called from behind as he hurriedly sat on the chair opposite me.Jus

    Drake's POV I was woken up by a consistent loud bang on my door. I had been asleep since last night when I left the hospital. After staying two days and nights at the hospital being by the side of Mia who not only lost a baby, our baby, but lost herself too. I have been unable to get a word out of her. She had been numb for days, and couldn't tell if she was refusing to talk to me or the news just took her will to speak.Aria had advised that I take a break to get some sleep at home before I resumed back beside Mia at the hospital."Who is it?" I asked loudly as I tried to get a hold of myself after waking up from such a deep sleep."It's Aria, open the door, are you okay?" Aria answered"What the hell, what happened, didn't you check your phone, you didn't check your messages? God, you smell awful" Aria complained immediately I opened the door. "I sent you home to get cleaned up and rest but obviously you haven't because you look worse and smell terrible" she continued as I returned

    Charlotte's POV I woke up to Sawyer's call and I almost cursed under my breath. I was finally having some sleep after the sleepless nights I've had recently but Sawyer chose that time to call me."What is it?" I asked with a grumpy voice, rubbing my left eye with my left index finger."Really? What is it? That's how you'll speak to your friend?" Sawyer replied with an angry scoff."Oh come on... what is it Sawyer? You just woke me up from my beauty sleep. Who calls by this time anyways?" I asked, yawning in between words."What?" He chuckled "Don't tell me you're still in bed. Tsk, you're so predictable... I'm downstairs. I came to pick you up." He replied and my eyes widened at his words. What?!I sprang up from bed and ran to my window, the one overlooking the compound and I saw his car parked, just outside the gate."What?" I gasped."Hurry up Charlotte. We don't have all day!" He whined ended the call and ran into the bathroom.-----Sawyer and I were in his car after what seem

    Charlotte's POV After the dinner at Marshal's house, I hadn't seen him or Drake but it was time for a follow-up meeting.Marshal stated that the meeting would help him keep track of our progress. He didn't say the next one but I knew he wanted to know how far I had gone with the project and if I could handle them truly.I knew this and I came prepared."Good day, Mr. Marshal." I greeted him formally the minute he walked into the hall."Thank you miss Torres." He replied. Setting his things on the table before looking around briefly. "Where's Mr. Watson?" He asked, noticing Drake's absence. "He's running late," I replied, without a better answer to give him.Marshal hummed and took his seat but just then, Drake walked into the hall.His suit unbuttoned, his hair ruffled from God knows what and his face as pale as a sheet of paper.What the hell happened to the arrogant, enthusiastic Drake?"I'm sorry for my lateness." Drake apologized and settled into a seat.Marshal and I exchanged

    Drake's POV"This way sir." The person attending to me gestured to the door after placing the rope with the visitor card on me.I followed impatiently. The process was much and I was losing my shit. He pushed a door open after strolling through the hall for some seconds and I scanned the hall immediately, looking for Mia's bed amongst the beds that were in the room."Follow me." He spoke again but I had already seen her bed and I walked past him to her bed. She lay with needles poking into her veins and an oxygen mask covering her nose.She was half awake, probably too weak to take note of what was happening around her. "Mia..." I whispered, slumping into the bed space beside her and stroking her hair as gently as I could.She made a little movement with her head but couldn't look at me."She can't raise her eyelids for now." The man who has now walked up to the bed informed me."She's too weak. We already lost the baby while she was trying to push and she had to use all her strengt

    Drake's POV "Sir, your wife just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy," an unfamiliar female voice had said over the line of my wife's phone immediately after I picked up the call. That had been the major reason why I was seated in the car, driving at an alarming speed towards the address of the hospital that had been sent to me. It didn't take long for me to arrive at the hospital, which was quite expected, given the speed at which I was driving. I hurriedly parked my car and jumped out. I was on the verge of racing inside but quickly held myself back. Being overwhelmed with emotions and driven by them is not something that I'm fond of, and I'm not about to start it, especially with the suspicions that I've been having over the past few days. Moreover, Mia is not yet at the stage she's supposed to give birth, so I wonder what the hell it meant when the female over the line said she was ready to have a birth. I breathed in and out slowly to calm my raging heart down, and when I wa

  • After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss    Chapter 0051

    Drake's POVNight arrived faster than I thought it would; apparently, there was nothing much for me to do during the day except to mostly go through the task assigned to my company at the moment. I didn't waste time in arriving at the dinner that Marshal invited me to, but not without dessert, of course. I pressed the doorbell after being let in by the security. It didn't take long for me to be attended to. The door was being opened, and I was met by a very beautiful young woman whom I suspect to be only a couple of years younger than me and Mr. Marshal's daughter. She offered a very captivating smile, showing off the upper part of her close-to-perfect dentition, if not for the two front teeth, which are slightly bigger than the rest, with only a millimeter or even less. "I suspect you are Mr. Watson," "Yes, I am," I replied, with a smile similar to the one plastered on her face. She moved further inside, leaving a wide path in front of the door. "Please, come in," "Thank you

  • After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss    Chapter 0050

    DRAKE'S POV A couple of weeks slowly passed; my company finished up the task we were handed, but no task was given to us, while double portions were handed to Charlotte and Avatar Inc. That only increases the gap in contribution between my company and that of Charlotte's company, and the impact that would also have would be reflected in the percentage that each of us will get from the revenue. I don't think I would be able to reduce the gap between both of us; the only thing that I can try to do is to keep the gap stagnant. Stop the gap from increasing and also close it if I get the slightest opportunity to. During the last meeting that was held, Mr. Marshal, the government representative, alerted me that the only way possible for me to get back on track and start receiving tasks is to submit documents that need to confirm that we are eligible to continue with the contract. "Mr. Watson, the documents you submitted," Mr. Marshal began and placed his briefcase on the table as usua
