CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - Going for a dinner date
DRAKE
I got downstairs and got myself some painkillers. On my way back to my room I met her at the entrance. She tried to avoid my gaze as always. I can't stop myself from looking at her always beautiful face.
"Good morning sir." She said with her face down.
I really am in love with this woman. Everytime I look at her all I want is her. I never thought I'd easily fall in love this way. She's sort of a special force to be able to break the walls I've been building for years.
"Good morning and thank you for taking care of me last night."
"Uh...that's really nothing sir."
"Um... Did I do anything last night? Or did I say something strange?." I asked knowing I blurted out everything in my head.
She blushed a little and shook her head.
"I didn't hear you s

HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER EIGHTEEN - I love you
CARINA I'm going on a date with my boss. I'm not sure that sounds good but that's what he wants and there's nothing I can do about it. I brought all these upon myself when I invited him into my life so I think I may kinda deserve whatever I get from him.He almost refused to let me go out today. He was acting all jealous and now he's brought me a dress to wear for dinner later tonight. He's just a piece of strange work. He is now fond of claiming me as if he's my boyfriend or something.Stop thinking nonsense Carina. There's no way he'd even ask you out. Unless he just wants to use you and go away.I got dressed by afternoon and went out to meet with Harry. But not without telling Gina where I'm off to. Drake's driver drove me to the cafe where I'm supposed to meet up with Harry. I met him sitting at a table. "Hi. Sorry I'm late." I said with a nervous smile.He stood up and
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER NINETEEN- I want you too
CARINA His lips are so sweet they taste much like strawberries. My hands found their way to his chest and his hair. I don't have the power to stop him, instead I want him to continue doing it.He finally pulled away and I regained myself. Gosh this is so embarrassing. Why did I let this happen anyway? I tried walking off but he grabbed me back by my waist. "Carina just listen to me. I'm telling you the truth. I've always promised myself never to fall in love after my first love in high school. I just don't see myself trying that again until you came into the picture. You broke all the barriers and made me fall for you without my knowledge. I love you Carina. That's the truth."I looked into his eyes and saw deep sincerity. Something I've not seen since I met him. I badly want to tell him that I also love him but I can't. I can't just let a man into my life after all I've been through. At least not so easily
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY- You're mine
DRAKEShe said yes.That's more than enough to make up for her rejection last night. I never thought her reasons would be because she has a child. But why didn't she tell me about this daughter of hers from the beginning?Last night I couldn't sleep. I just stared at the ceiling feeling so angry and dejected. I didn't want to fall in love to the extent where I'll get hurt again but it happened.But now, she confessed that she loves me also. She's mine now. I'll do whatever I can so I don't lose her. I don't want to imagine the pain I'll go through if I do. "Drake I'm set to go." She announced.I didn't notice her come in. She's dressed in a short and armless top. Wait, this is the first time I'm seeing her wear this. Why did she decide to wear this today of all days? Her body's revealing and... "Hey are you okay? You seem lost."I
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE - He's Jealous
CARINA. How did he get into the house without having the keys? It's surprising to see him in my house after we planned to see on Monday. I'm excited to see him and at the same time mad at him for breaking into my house. "Drake?." I called.He turned me around to face him. He had this smirk on his face that's even confusing me more. "Yes darling."I blushed a little but maintained a straight face. "How did you get into my house? And why didn't you tell me you were coming?." I asked him. "Your parents let me in."My eyes widened. My parents? I thought they went out already. "My parents? You met them here? I thought my sister and daughter told me they were going out." I scratched my hair in a way to remember if I'm wrong.
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO - Stay away from him
CARINA I can't believe she's saying all these to me. Is there anything between them that I didn't know about. The doctor has never acted like this before. "I'm warning you. Drake is mine and I always get what I want. I'll do anything to stop him from being with a social climber like you." She ranted on before walking away angrily.I stood there at the hallways wondering what just happened. How can she say that to me and I couldn't even utter a word because of how shocked I am. "What are you doing here?." I heard a familiar voice ask behind me.I jumped slightly startled. I turned to face him with a straight face. He has to tell me exactly what is going between himself and the doctor. "We need to talk." I said. "What's wrong?." H
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE - She's not my doctor
DRAKEMy head feels heavy so does my eyes. I slightly turned and tried opening my eyes without having to hurt myself. That's because I feel like everything is so hard to move.I heard beeping sounds and decided to really open my eyes. I opened my eyes and the light shone completely on my face. I looked around my room which is the problem because this is not my room.I checked around and saw that it's a room and a drip is connected to my hands. I removed the drip in anger ignoring the blood dropping on the floor. I tried getting up when the door opened and someone came in. "Oh my God sir! You shouldn't be up from the bed!." I heard Gina's voice.She quickly rushed to me and got me back on the bed. "Sir please don't get up. I'll go get the doctor." She said and rushed out.I feel dizzy and my head really hurts. How did I
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR - Let me be
CARINA I walked out of his ward and stayed at the reception. I don't understand why his mom hates me. I know this should be Suzy's doing, she must have said bad things about me to the woman.For the few days that Drake has been in the hospital, I've been denied the right to see him. I was called by Gina on Sunday that he has been admitted to the hospital and I came immediately to see him. Unluckily for me, Suzy is also his doctor and she didn't let me see him.It became worse when his mom came. She practically sent me out of the ward today just because I sneaked to come check on him. I don't really feel bad because I know I've done nothing to make her hate me. She just does. "Are you happy now?." I heard her voice said around me.Of course she's around me. I stood up and bowed. What is she talking about now? Why should I be happy about any of this?
HEARTSTRINGS CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE - Men are jerks
GINAAs soon as Carina left, Joe and I walked out and went to the garden. We've been talking more than before since Mr Drake got sick. I had to get his contact so I can save my bosses life.Carina is a very amazing woman and she's lucky to have someone like my boss love despite his not so good character. How she made someone who planned to make her suffer is something I can't believe but I admire it. "What are you thinking about?." I heard Joe's voice ask me. " Nothing much. I'm just thinking about how lucky Carina is to have Sir Drake. It's not easy getting someone like him to be in love." I replied.He nodded in agreement. "What about you? Don't you have a boyfriend?." He asked me.A boyfriend is the least of my worries right now. I'd rather stay away from that and not pass my boundar
