Charlotte’s secretary

Valerie's POV.I waited patiently for Jasmine and Ron to rant, yell and talk all they want, before picking up my bag. “Don't play dumb Valerie, you need to listen to us, we are making sure you don't get hurt again” Jasmine cautioned. I walked to Jasmine, placed my hand on her shoulder and said, “If you two keep treating me like a child or taking care of me this way, There is no way I would survive on my own, I appreciate it, but I don't want it anymore, Take care of yourself, I'm leaving” And with that, I walked out, entered my car and zoomed off. I got down from the car, stood in front of the big company and sighed, it's been a month since I came here, I felt nervous walking in front of so many people, I know they would talk about me, but right now, I don't care, I only care about what would favor me and now what other people would talk about me. I walked into the building elegantly, I came across my co-workers and I worked with before. They were all so surprised to see me. Nobody

Stalking you?

Drake’s POVI was halfway into my morning coffee and toast when my phone buzzed on the kitchen counter. My eyes froze at the number reflected on the screen, a call from Charlotte's father was the last thing I had expected. I delayed responding for a second as I wracked my brain for what Charlotte’s father could possibly want with me, especially that early in the morning.My brow furrowed with the answer, my voice carefully neutral. "Good morning, sir. What can I do for you?"Her father’s voice on the other end was firm and authoritative, his weight carrying into that morning call to make me sit up a little straighter. "Drake, I need you to pay me a visit this morning. It's urgent."He saidI felt a prickle of unease. Charlotte’s father was a man who rarely made demands unless it was something serious. My mind began to whirl with possibilities. Had something happened, was everything alright? Or, more disturbingly, had something surfaced about Valerie? The latter thought made my stomach

An ultimatum

Drake’s POVThe moment I moved inside the grand office of Charlotte's father, I filled myself with foreboding. The room was as imposing as ever: high ceilings, a polished mahogany desk, and large windows from the floor to the top that allowed views from above into the city. Charlotte’s father stood, gazing into a window, a silent figure against the early morning light."Drake." Her father nodded in return, his back still turned to me. His voice was cold, and curt, and it made my skin prickle."Good morning, sir." I tried to sound as neutral as possible while making my way to the desk. Whatever was going to transpire, it wouldn't be good.Her father’s face was finally turned to me, looking stern and unreadable. He did not wave for me to sit, so I felt awkwardly exposed standing in the middle of the room. "Do you know why I summoned you here today?" her father asked, watching my face with narrowed eyes.I hesitated for the briefest of seconds, measuring my words. "You said it was urgent

Blackmail

Valerie’s POVMy heart raced as I came out of the office building silently. My mind was still reeling from what I had overheard. Drake was going to publicly deny everything, deny me, our past, and our connection. The thought made my blood run cold. I knew people would believe him with the Charlottes family at his back. The story would then begin to bend itself into his narrative, and I would amount only to some forgotten chapter or an insignificant blip in his life's timeline.The thought was unbearable. How could he so easily dismiss everything we had been through? How could he erase me from his life as if I had never mattered? My thoughts spiraled the entire way home as my anger climbed with each step. I couldn't let him get away with this. I couldn't let him rewrite our story to suit his needs all the while I was left with nothing.By the time I reached my apartment, my mind was made up. I would get my revenge, no matter the cost. I wouldn't let Drake be the last one to have a say

A token of gratitude

Valerie’s POVAs I walked down the sleek, glass-lined corridors, I felt the tension in the air. My heels clicked sharply against the polished floor, each step being a reminder of this battle I was soon to face. Charlotte wasn't just another adversary, she was the threat of unraveling all that I had fought to build.The door to Charlotte's office burst open, and I strode inside without knocking, exuding confidence that was far from what I was feeling. Charlotte looked up from her desk, her perfectly manicured fingers paused on the keyboard as her eyes registered me. A flicker of irritation crossed her face but was quickly masked by her usual mask of composure."Valerie," Charlotte said coolly, forcing her to lean back into her chair. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Behind her, I closed the door to make sure we would not be disturbed. "We need to talk, Charlotte. And I am not here to exchange pleasantries." Charlotte raised an eyebrow, her eyes slightly narrowed. "I don't have time f

Talking about your father’s company

Drake's POV.Charlotte has suggested we go out for a dinner night together at a fancy restaurant, I wasn't in the mood to, but I had to do it for her, I didn't want her to feel lonely or feel that I don't love her, I would rather not arouse any suspicious from her, so I decided to tag along with her. On second thought, I wanted to clear my mind. I have been thinking a lot lately and everything I'm having has to do with Valerie. How would I tell everyone that I had nothing to do with her when I did? I don't mean to hurt her feelings more than I already did, But there was no solution to my situation right now, Charlotte father is already on my neck, and I'm sure he already noticed my behavior towards Valerie, that is why he brought this idea of me telling the public and media that I have nothing to do with Valerie.I sat down opposite Charlotte, and she handed over the food menu which was already placed on the table, “What do you want to eat? I'll make the order immediately” She said. F

A devil in human form

Valerie's POV.I sat down next to Jasmine in the restaurant, there wasn't any free table available for two, since the restaurant was fully booked, it was the most fancy and expensive restaurants around round, and it was expected to be booked, Jasmine and had no other option but to sit on the table meet for four, with a couple who were almost done eating. I had a hard time talking to them because I hardly make new friends, but Jasmine was different, she always knows their name and where they came from. Nice! Finally, Jasmine and I were the only one sitting on the table, She was the one who suggested we go out tonight to relieve some stress, but she ended up ditching me and chatting with the couple, “You should have joined in the conversation, they were nice” She said, as she drank a sip out of her juice.“I'm not interested. I can see you already know much about them, did you also collect their phone number?” I inquired. “I was joking, I envy you Jasmine, the way you quickly interact

I would make you pay

Valerie's POV.I moved forward to the man after Drake and Charlotte had left, Jasmine tried to hold me back, but I was a bit strong for her to do so. I waited and watched as the man wailed in embarrassment and pain. I could feel his pain, But I just couldn't understand the relationship going on between the both of them. He is Charlotte's secret lover. Shouldn't he maintain his position as a secret lover? Why did he come to this restaurant knowing fully well that Charlotte would be here with Drake? Unless there is something serious going on better for both of them.I punched his fist on the table so hard and walked out, I picked up my bag and followed him out. It is unclear to me why I am really curious, I want to know what happened between the both of them in the past and also present. I ran after him outside, and I noticed Jasmine was also behind me. The man was about to open the door to his car, when I held his hands from doing so.Panting heavily, I bowed my head to catch my breath

Are you out of your senses

Valerie's POV.Ron had come this morning to pick me up, I had no place to go to and Jasmine was busy with work, It was as if God made Ron to me my lifesaver ay every situation, He suggested I followed him to his workplace, I registered first but remembering that I had no place to go, and boredom might get to me, I accepted his offer, and now we are sitting in the office cafeteria. We were being offered different kinds of dishes, and it was to my liking. Ron smiled and he watched me eat. I was shy, but I had to maintain a good posture. Since we had proclaimed to everyone we were dating, none of the workers in the cafeteria minded us, I could hear them whisper, but I'm sure it must be something good, since I'm not seen with Drake but with Ron. “Do you want more?” Ron asked.I shook my head and smiled, “I might explode if I take another spoon of food, I haven't eaten like this in a long time, I hardly cook and Jasmine is the only one who cooks for me, Thank you for this Ron, I sincerely

Your reputation

Drake’s POVI winced as Charlotte's sharp eyes zeroed in on the bruise that was starting to well just above my eyebrow. I had tried covering it up, brushing off any opportunity to stop and take a glimpse of myself in the mirror, but Charlotte was nothing if not observant. Her brow furrowed in concern, and before I could utter anything, she was upon him."Sit down," she ordered.I, for once too defeated to rebel, did as instructed. The pain from the altercation had begun to seep into my muscles, and I was not feeling okay. I dropped into the soft leather office chair, easing back with a sigh as Charlotte reached into the drawer for a first aid kit. Her fingers moved in swift efficiency, yet her gaze never wavered from mine.What's happened?" she asked, dragging a chair near and reaching into the kit for a disinfectant wipe. "Who did this to you?"I cocked my head, a wry smile twisting my mouth. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Charlotte raised an eyebrow, her eyes steady as she
