Charlotte's POV

I didn't stop half-running through the hallway until I was out by the pool. I needed some fresh air, I needed to breathe.

The questions were just too much and I couldn't answer either.

I slumped into one of the pool chairs by the pool and inhaled some chill night air. I was there for some seconds before I noticed a male figure slumped into a chair beside me.

He was staring into the pool but shifted his gaze to me just the same time I did.

Our eyes held.

Behold, it was the man I’d dreaded to see… the one that made all these wild, confusing thoughts spring up in my head. The one who makes me fall but always isn't there to catch my fall. It was Drake Watson.

“Couldn't sleep either?” He muttered through his teeth but I could see a small smile creep up on his face. Like he was amused about it.

“It didn't look like you couldn't sleep. You almost ran into me.” He said tilting his head as if he would see who was chasing me out earlier.

I didn't reply him. We had nothing to t

  • After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss    Chapter 0219

    Charlotte's POV After what happened that day, it was as though my will to live was stripped off me. Sawyer wanted me to beg for death and he was winning.Nothing interested me anymore or made me happy. Most of the days, I laid down without zeal to do anything and refused to see anyone. Including Toria who had come around the house a couple of times.The first day she came, she got turned down, she rounded the compound refusing to leave but after hours of waiting around without a change of heart from me, she left and returned the next day but I still remained adamant.She ended up spending her time with Ivy instead. At that point, Ivy already knew that things were not well with me. I was acting so off and she knew that her mum was not alright but she could not do anything about it.I sulked all day in my bedroom hoping that Sawyer was seeing how miserable I was and hoping that it would make him grant me the slightest closure. All I needed was to see him and strike a deal with him.How

    Drake's POV That was one thing with lies, you never know when you slip and mix words.I turned and stormed toward my room, shutting the door firmly behind me. My chest was burning, my head pounding. I leaned against the door, pressing my forehead against the wood as if it could take away the ache building inside me.But of course, she didn’t listen.Her fists banged softly on the door. “Drake, please, don’t do this to me. You can’t just throw me out like I’m nothing. I made mistakes, yes, but I love you! Everything I did was because I love you!”I clenched my teeth, my hands curling into fists at my sides. “If you’re still here when I’m done with my bath, Mia, I’ll report you for trespassing. Don’t test me.”The silence that followed was thick, suffocating. Her sobs seeped through the door, muffled and pitiful, but I forced myself to ignore them. My mind spiraled instead.What if she lied about everything? The so-called pregnancy… her so-called mental illness. Was that another trick,

    Drake's POV And my throat tightened as I entered the living room. I had already lost too much in my life. If she stripped this from me too, would I recover from it?Before I could even take another step, Mia came running out from the kitchen. Her hands were wet, probably from rinsing vegetables or washing her hands, and she wiped them hastily on the side of her gown.“Where did you go? I was calling after you but you didn't even stop to acknowledge me!” she exclaimed, her voice sharp with the familiar edge of accusation. “Where have you been? Where did you go without even telling me anything? Do you think it is okay to just leave the house like that without telling me anything?!”The questions tumbled from her lips like bullets, one after another.Normally, I would respond. Normally, I would get drawn into her spiral of interrogations and excuses. But not today. Not when I held the little product that would determine if this relationship were to continue.Not when the outcome I was c

    Drake's POV I staggered back to the living room, a gasp escaped from my lips as my hands dragged down my face."Is this real?" I didn't know what to feel. I was happy that she left on her own but at the same time, she was carrying my child. I couldn't just give that up.I made that mistake once already and even though Mia wasn't one who would make one do something for her, for the sake of the child in her belly, I couldn't just let it go.I rubbed my head with my hand and shook my feet uncontrollably.Unable to sit anymore, I rose to my feet and went to my room. I grabbed my phone and scrolled through my contacts.Maybe she went to get something. I reasoned and tried to call her. The line went silent for the first few seconds then the service provider's voice spoke up, telling me that the number I was trying to reach was not available.I groaned with frustration and tried it again but it was the same thing."Did she run out on me again?" I asked aloud."Who are you talking to?" A voi

    Drake's POV After Charlotte left, I too found my way to my car and drove home.The drive home was silent, though my head wasn’t. Thoughts churned in my head.Charlotte’s tired face haunted me. The way her voice had cracked when she admitted maybe Sawyer had never been there. I hated the helplessness in her eyes, and I hated even more that I couldn’t change it.By the time I pulled into the driveway, it was close to midnight. The mansion was dark, silent, the glow from the windows a sharp contrast to the heaviness in my chest. I killed the engine and sat there for a moment, gripping the wheel until my knuckles whitened. I knew Mia would be waiting. I could already feel the storm brewing.Sure enough, when I stepped inside, she was there.Mia sat on the couch in the living room, one hand resting dramatically on her stomach, the other draped across the armrest like a queen waiting to scold her subject. Her expression was sharp, her lips curved in displeasure.“You’re finally back,” she

    Drake's POV Charlotte walked out on me without a heads up but I knew I couldn't stop her. She was hurt and frustrated about not being able to do anything even when she saw Sawyer.I had a strong feeling that Mia had a hand in it somehow but I couldn't do anything about it either."Drake?" I heard my name from the second door; the one after the one I came out of.I turned around to see Mia walking to me like someone who was thirty-two weeks pregnant."What were you discussing with her?" She asked as she got closer."Did you know that Sawyer was going to be here today?" I asked instead, my face was straight."What?""Did you purposely step in her way so that she wouldn't be able to go after him?" I asked again and her brows furrowed in confusion and it spread in realization."Wait, was that the reason she was running around like she got an emergency call?" Mia sounded amused.My face tightened. Mia didn't see it as anything serious and that was irritating."Do you really find that funn
