Tears started to trickle from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. Nyra turned around and left from there before they could notice her presence.
She ran into her room and collapsed on her bed. Her slim frame shaking with the intensity of her sobs.
She knew her stepmother did not like her at all. But she is depressed to find out that her father doesn't care about her as well.
'What have I ever done to deserve this father? Why do you always treat me like an outsider? I can understand Barbara's hate towards me. But you? A father is supposed to protect her daughter. Then why are you so indifferent towards me dad?' She thought and cried her eyes out.
'I thought at least he would be happy that I came back safe and unharmed. But he is not bothered about me at all. All he is bothered about is his job, wife and daughters' she thought bitterly.
After Drake left for work, she too had a bath and changed into a yellow summer dress to go and greet her father.
As soon as Drake left the Hamilton mansion, his mind linked, Mason.'Are you back yet?' Mason asked as soon as his mind buzzed with Drake's mind link.Drake ignored his question and gave an order of his own.'Meet me near red dragon Maxim's house' he instructed.Mason is shocked. He was walking towards his office, but as soon as he heard Maxim's name, he stumbled a little. The employees looked at him weirdly. He gave them an awkward smile.'Why him?' Mason asked in shock.But Drake is not in the mood to share. So he disconnected the mind link.Mason looked confused when Drake disconnected the mind link."He is scary when he is pissed. I think Maxim is in trouble" he muttered and immediately turned back to go to the red dragon's place.Drake saw Mason as soon as he pulled over near Maxim's house. It's not actually a house. It's a warehouse, in which the red dragon modified the top floor as his house and the ground floor i
Drake reached the Hamilton villa in no time. His anger is driving him faster than he usually drives. He still remembers the way he found Nyra under those dried leaves, completely helpless and vulnerable.If he didn't find her on time, then she would have been hurt or worst been dead by now.'This is all because of Maxim and Carlos. I will make sure to punish Carlos. He would not dare to look at my mate ever again' Drake fumed inside her head.He stepped outside his vehicle and could hear Mason walking towards him as well. He didn't wait until Mason could catch up to him. He knocked on the door and a maid opened it. He ignored her and went inside and stood in the middle of the living area looking towards the stairs.He knows the maid will inform his stepmother about his arrival. He waited for them, Which he usually wouldn't do. He comes to this place to only talk to his father. He usually talks inside the study and leaves without engaging any of th
Drake came out of Hamilton's villa and sat inside his car to go for work.But suddenly sadness engulfed him like a heavy cloud.'Mate is sad' Drakos chimed in.'Yes, she seems to be very sad' Drake agreed.As her mate, he could feel her every emotion to an extent now. But if the mating bond is completed, then he could feel everything fully.The mating bond will not be completed until he marks her on her neck. Then her dragon tattoo will get darker.He drove towards the Hamilton mansion in a rush.Mason, who is following behind Drake, thought that they are going to the company. But Drake drove towards the Hamilton mansion."Who's turn is it now?" he murmured with amusement."Maxim's face will be unrecognizable for a couple of days. I don't think Carlos would be able to walk properly for a month. I wonder who is going to be next on the list?" he thought, really excited to see the show.Drake could feel N
"Drake, look at me. I am not at all dressed to step inside. You go, I will sit in the car" she said with embarrassment.But Drake found nothing wrong with the way she is dressed.Her dress looks perfect for him. Her face is neat and devoid of any heavy makeup. Her bow lips are naturally pink and soft, shining like the sun rays falling on her face.Her soft cheeks are pink with embarrassment. Her hair smells of fresh strawberries. Her dark brown locks are cascading down her back in soft waves, teasing her waist.She has a unique scent, reminding him of jasmines.Drake did not answer her. Instead, he calmly stepped outside, while buttoning his coat. He reached to her side and extended his palm for her to take."Drake" Nyra hissed quietly, mindful of the guards around them."Yes?" he asked with a mischievous tone."I am underdressed" she stressed helplessly.Drake sighed and pulled her out by her elbow."You
In the Hamilton villaAfter Drake left, Sarah and Caroline were stunned. Sarah always detested Drake. She drugged his father Roland and married him. Roland too married her, taking responsibility for his actions.Roland always loved his first wife. If it's not for the drug, he wouldn't have spent a night with Sarah all those years ago, and marry her.He knows she was already pregnant by the time he married her. It was simply not possible for her to be three months pregnant when he met her for only a month.He made a mistake, so he owned up to it and married her, providing for her and her children, who are a couple of years younger than Drake.After Drake and Mason left, he eyed Carlos lying on the ground, groaning with pain.He ignored him and was about to go into his study when his wife stopped him with his angry voice."Why didn't you stop Drake when he was beating my son like this?" she asked angrily.Roland looked at her ser
After washing and wiping her face, Nyra looked in the mirror. Her face still looked a little flushed and her lips are a little swollen."This unreasonable beast" she cursed Drake for kissing her whenever and where ever he pleased.It's not like, she hated being kissed by him. Somehow she is feeling like, she is cheating on her mate.'He tried to kill you Nyra' her subcontinent reminded her.'Yes, but he is still my mate' her heart said.Her mind is a maze of confusion and she has mixed feelings towards Drake and her mate. Her mating bond always reminds her to be loyal to her mate, even when he tried to kill her. But her mind doesn't like that idea. Her mind likes being practical, and she wants to enjoy her time with Drake. Her heart is leaning more towards her mate.Her heart and body are at constant war.Her heart wants to be with her mate. But her body gives in whenever Drake kisses her or touches her."This is so confusing" sh
Mason led Nyra around the building, pointing at what is what."If you leave me now, then I might get lost in here," she said, making Mason chuckle with mirth."It's so huge," she said in awe."Ya," he agreed to look around."When I first started working here, I too felt confused and in awe at the same time. But I got used to it sooner than I thought possible" Mason shared his experience with her.Nyra smiled at him gently."Come, I will show you our technical department. It's just around that corner" he pointed out for her.When Nyra heard about the department name, her eyes lit up with interest. Mason did not notice her reaction.When they turned the corner, they noticed a commotion."What happened?" Nyra asked.Mason tried to look, but there are too many bodies blocking his view."I don't know, let's go and check" he murmured and led her towards the front and inside the department.When
Caroline was not allowed inside the technical department, as there was an issue that arises, and needs their complete attention. She saw people running like mad inside the department through the glass doors.'Must be something serious' she thought.She saw Mason and the yellow sundress girl talking with Drake. Then the girl went to talk to one of the guys working in front of a huge screen.Whatever she said, the guy nodded his head in understanding, and then after a couple of minutes of silence, the guy's face relaxed marginally and he told something to her with a relieved smile.The yellow sundress girl smiled at him and told him something else, pointing at his big screen. Since then, she started issuing orders to the others in the department as well.Caroline looked at the beautiful girl, with envy.'So she is someone important in the company. That's why they are listening to her without any resistance' Caroline concluded.She looked over
