Charlotte's POV

I watched Drake until he disappeared behind the wide glass doors of the blood testing room. The door closed quietly. My hands trembled slightly as I hugged myself. My eyes stayed fixed on that door, even though I knew he was already gone.

I felt Sawyer walk up beside me. He didn’t say my name. He just stood there. Then after a moment, he finally spoke.

“That was Drake, wasn’t it?”

I nodded slowly, not trusting my voice.

Sawyer didn’t say anything else. He just let out a low hum, the way he always did when he was thinking something he didn’t want to say out loud. I didn’t push him to talk. The air between us suddenly became thick, filled with questions and disapprovals and the reminder that we were supposedto be against Drake, but I didn’t want any of them right now.

"I need to sit." I whispered and found a bench in the corridor outside the lab.

There weren’t many people around. Only a few nurses walked past every now and then. I kept sitting, then standing, then sitt

  • After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss    Chapter 0105

    Sawyer's POVI stood there staring blankly at the woman I got engaged to chasing me out of her office and pausing everything. The marriage, the relationship, everything. "I said leave! And try to get some rest. Maybe you've been sleep-deprived and you are no longer thinking straight." She continued, pointing to the door.I might not be thinking straight but the last thing I wanted was to cause a scene. Our relationship was perfect online. If I refused to leave, it would cause a scene and that would destroy the perfection I'd built over the months."I will call you Charlotte. You must think about this. He has you just where he wants you." She looked the opposite way, unwilling to listen further to me. With no other choice left, I exited her office.My day was ruined, the last thing I could even think about was work. There was something far greater than work and far more important than work to me and that was getting married to Charlotte and having a family with her.I had everything a

    Charlotte's POV "What?" Sawyer asked like he hadn't heard me the first time."I... still have feelings for Drake. I thought I no longer did but I was just consumed by the need to get revenge and hatred blinded me from seeing what had been there all the while." I confessed and Sawyer kept looking at me like I had gone crazy."Can you hear yourself?" Sawyer asked in unbelief. "Can you hear yourself talk about that bastard in this manner? You accept that you have feelings for him, so what happens to the plan you have going on? I warned you about this. I told you he would try to get back with you.""All he needed was to be there for you and Ivy, posing like he got your best interest at heart and you will crawl right back to him and I was not wrong." He drew a palm down his face."You cannot go to him, Charlotte. You have to carry out your plan and be with me and Ivy. We are your true family. Look," he held my hand, his expression desperate. "We are already engaged, all we need to do is

    Charlotte's POV If the dinner and care for my burn were the only thing Drake did, I wouldn't have been troubled the way I am now.It didn't stop at that dinner. Since he was a distinguished speaker at Ivy's school, he paid random visits and brought Ivy gifts on his visits and played with her. Thankfully, she kept her promise and never mentioned Drake whenever Sawyer was around but whenever we were alone or whenever I tucked her to bed, she wouldn't stop singing his praises.The night she told me she wished she had a father like him, I couldn't bring myself to sleep.The most confusing part of it was he wasn't making an attempt towards me or trying to get close to me.After a visit to his house for dinner, he sent a member of his staff to bring me treatment for the burn even though it wasn't even a burn, it was just hot steam. But he insisted I use the cream to prevent a scar and to heal the place.Still, he doesn't act like he wants something, he even avoids me at meetings and open

    Charlotte's POV The last thing I expected was for Drake to ask me to dinner. I was caught off guard but curiosity got the better of me.I agreed to go because I wanted to observe him at a closer range and of course, pay back the favor.He told me I could bring Ivy along and that was surprising. Drake of before would tell me to come alone, he would try to make me see reasons why I should get back with him but he was different this time. I began to wonder if he hit his head."Really? Are we going to see Uncle Drake?" Ivy asked, her eyes widened in excitement. "Yes baby," I squatted before her."I want you to do something for me." She looked at me with curiosity. "Don't let Sawyer know we went to see Drake. Let this be our little secret. Can you do that for me?" I asked and she nodded happily."Of course." "Thank you, baby, grab your hat let's go." Sawyer had a meeting out of town, for some reason, it seemed like it had been a long while since he had such a meeting that warranted him

    Drake's POV I got into the office early to finish up the first phase of the project I was handling and Jason came in to see me.He's been coming in often these days. In his defence, he wants to check if I really have moved on from Charlotte like I claimed and if I was really changed but I knew that the real reason why he came around was to check on me.And confirm that I was doing okay."Have you had anything to eat?" He asked when he came in and I shook my head, absentmindedly. My mind on the file I was scanning through."Take this, I bought it from an italian restaurant, they said it's their breakfast special." He held out a paper bag to me."Thanks." I collected the bag and wanted to drop it on the table but he shook his head and spoke up, catching me off guard a little."No, no no, you don't do that with the food I bought you. Drop the work, let's eat.I bought mine too." He raised another paper bag in mid air to show me his.I shrugged. There was no arguing with Jason."Fine. But

    Charlotte's POVI was shaken by Drake's actions at the event. He left me speechless in so many ways I couldn't even explain. There was something new to him this time and it was... drawing me to him. I don't believe in voodoo but I could note the changes and the effect it had on me.Sawyer called later that night, well after I was able to power my phone, he called nonstop but I didn't accept any of his calls until the next morning. As you suspected, his call woke me up the next morning."What's the matter? Why have you been ignoring my calls Charlotte?" He asked the minute I picked up the call."What do you want?" I asked, giving him aura for aura.He could sense the anger and malice in my voice and realized that he needed to calm down."You got me worried Babe, your line wasn't going through the whole of last night. I went to pick you up but you were not at the venue so I got scared." He explained, his voice calmer."What time did you go to pick me up?" I asked, not convinced by his
