Charlotte's POV "Mummy, when am I going to see uncle Drake again? He promised me he was going to come the next day and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that..." Ivy continued, explaining her conversation with Drake the last time he came to the house and I could only sigh. "You will see him soon darling, it is not going to take long again." I replied, but in reality, I had no clue when next he would be coming to the house. I mean, I didn't tell him he could come and he probably didn't ask for his own good.We only talked about the party... oh shit! the party..!My eyes widened and by now you should trust Ivy to notice that."What's wrong mummy?" She didn't hesitate to ask me when she noticed it."Oh, I just remembered that I have an event to attend tomorrow but I haven't picked out my fit yet and I still look like a potato." She bursted into a peal of laughter. That was my way of saying I looked unkempt with my hair all over the place and my mind even messe
Drake's POV "Watch me." I walked past her, hitting her shoulder in the process and I could hear her stumble as I walked further away from the living room.I dragged a palm down my face when I got into my room, I'd been staying with the person who conspired against the kidnap I'd been trying to solve all these while, I've been eating her food and gisting with her like a partner while she had been feeding Sawyer information from whatever we discuss on how to make it even harder to find him. "This is f****d up." I scattered everything on my bedside table with a swing of both my hands. I was angry, I wanted to destroy everything in my path. I had been lied to and deceived and I couldn't do anything to harm her physically or threaten her or she would use it against me when I go to make a report to the police.I could barely sleep, I kept on pacing around my room, sitting on my bed with my back like the shape of a bow and I kept on blaming myself for not seeing this early and acting tow
Drake's POV She continued to speak and speak and we both knew that most of the words she said weren't going to have an impact.The image of her and Sawyer holding hands that day and laughing kept lingering in my memory. It could be that they were plotting on how to kidnap Sabrina that day. They were working together. Since that day I haven't seen Sawyer around her either."You think I don't know right?" I cut through all her noise with a calm voice."I saw you and Sawyer walking through the street with my eyes. You two were holding hands and laughing like allies would. It didn't make a lot of sense to me back then but I thought it would be best to watch closely and see what you two are plotting...""For some reason, I never remembered that all these while. I never saw you with Sawyer again but suddenly, Sabrina went missing and you are telling me that I would never be able to find her. Sawyer is nowhere to be seen but somehow, he knows everything that is going on over here. How is
Drake's POV I slid into Charlotte's front passenger's seat while she slid into the driver's seat. I was excited already at the thought of seeing Ivy after I had the scare of my life and was told that I wouldn't see her again.Charlotte's face was raised and her gaze was fixed on the road. We drove in silence until we got to her house.She hopped down from the car and I did the same. As we approached the entrance door, it swung open and a happy Ivy pushed through from behind her nanny to welcome her mom and me with warm hugs.“Uncle Drake! You didn't tell me you were coming today!” She exclaimed happily as she dragged me inside by my hand.I smiled like a child.“I didn't know I was coming here as well, else, I would have gotten you something from the mall.” I replied “Don't worry about that, I was making a castle and I want you to see it. It has tall doors and glass windows and all the good stuff you can imagine…” she tapped as she led me into the house and up to her room.Charlotte
Charlotte's POV Drake pocketed his hands when we got outside and I could see the disappointment on his face but for some reason, I wasn't as disappointed as I was the other times he had bad news to tell me.I was still shaken by his will to help me catch Sawyer and even though it didn't work out, I was marveled that he would still endanger his life to find my friend.After I told him that I no longer wanted to see him."I had a hunch that he was Sawyer...""Thank you." I chipped in just as he began to speak. Not giving him the chance to say anything. He paused for a few seconds. He wasn't expecting the appreciation."Thank you for going out to look for her even though we are not in a good mood." I explained the reason for my gratitude but he waved it aside."I promised you that I was going to help you look for her. Whether we don't talk anymore or we are best of friends, I will still help you to look for her." He replied and I nodded."So I had a hunch and followed it but by the tim
Drake's POV "I think he knew you were trailing him and he left before we arrived. That is the only other explanation. It's that or we are searching the wrong warehouse." The head officer told me when he saw I wasn't moving and was still confused.I half ran out of the warehouse and into the open street, looking around and exchanging glances between my phone and the street like a person who was lost.I ran back to meet the trio who were now stepping out of the warehouse themselves. My hands were spread wide in confusion."This is the warehouse. I am sure." I confirmed and the head officer shook his head again."It means that he knew you were on his tail and he made a run for it. Cleared everything out before you could return.""Isn't that a suspicious act?" Jason was the next person to speak. He was beside me and I didn't even notice. I didn't know when he left the warehouse. I guess he thought I was going crazy when I ran out of the warehouse and he followed right after me."Yes," t
