Charlotte's POV

Whatever it is that Reddington did to convince the board members, I would have to commend him for doing such a good job.

The vote had started out against me, but it didn't take time to move in my favor and end in my favor.

First step taken.

Rip one of the things that Drake cherishes right out of his hands.

The expression on Aria's face as she watched the position Drake placed her in ripped out of her hands by someone she despises and once treated as trash was really a sight to behold.

“Mummy, mummy,” the tiny voice of my little girl ripped me out of my thoughts; the smile I had no idea was on my face slowly disappeared.

I must have been smiling so hard because my cheeks hurt a little.

“What is it, Ivy?” I turned to my little girl and picked her up and then placed her on my lap.

“I want to sleep,” she snuggled closer to me.

“Ok, let's take you to your room,” I muttered and rose to my feet.

“She wouldn't let me take her to bed today,” Sawyer said from the side.

It felt confusing. She lost the baby twice and she still has a daughter. It’s a really good story but needs editing.

    Charlotte's POV After Drake's last visit and Sawyer's last advice, I decided to keep an open mind about the whole thing.Drake was experiencing the kind of pain I experienced three years ago and I knew just how he felt. He was going through worse because of the guilt attached to the pain.I concluded that I was going to keep an open mind about it. I hoped he felt less horrible but it wasn't going to stop me from carrying out my intended plans. He still hurt me badly and disgraced me in front of everyone apart from making me lose my child."Mummy! Mummy! How do I look?" Ivy ran into my room with excitement, cutting through my thoughts as she flexed her outfit for school. "Oh my... you look so beautiful like the princess that you are my love." I assured, stroking her cheeks gently."Did you run from your nanny?" I asked when I noticed her nanny catching her breath at the entrance of my room.Ivy looked at the entrance, saw her nanny's dramatic way of catching her breath and giggled, h

    Drake's POV I did as Jason advised--I apologized to Charlotte and I meant it--however, I didn't know she had forgiven me.It was not in my nature to accept my fault and apologize, especially to Charlotte. I'd spent years hating her and treating her badly.I tried to go about my day hoping that she saw how sincere I was and forgave me but I could only hope.One day turned into two days and I managed to pull through the days but the void was still big in my heart towards the loss of my son. However, it was not the only thing that made my day gloomy and gave me sleepless nights. Mia.Apart from the silent treatment she regarded me with that I painstakingly put up with, she was going out more often now and she was spending a lot of money on drinks and trivial things.I knew because she was putting all the bills on my card.If she continued on this path, she might be the end of my company. So I decided to do what every reasonable man would do--talk about it."Where are you coming from a

    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 us

    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 was
