Drake's POV
Drake hurriedly rush to his family's company. So many questions are running into his mind. He can't think straight even if he tried to for how many times already. He don't get it. All of the sudden, their company is about to bankcrupt. Why? For what reason? The last time he talk to his father about the company, he said everything is fine and everything is running smoothly, and now?
He had arrived in front of Wright's Corporation and there were so many people waiting outside their company, specifically workers from their company with banners in their hands. And what is written there are their complaints and grievances regarding the company.
*RETURN WHAT YOU STOLE*
*JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL*
*PAY OUR SALARY*
*THIEVES*
Drake and his family drove to Adeline's parents company. He does not wanna come but his father insisted him to because his Uncle Antonio had said so."Thank goodness Antonio offered for help. How we will be able to survive without them?" His mother said then gave out a sighed in relief."Yes. But he said that he needs some thing in return." Drake father replied.Drake is just listening to their conversation, looking outside the car's window, but his mind is not with them, but instead he is thinking of Natasha. He still can not believe the woman left him just because of her dream of being a model. He sighed deeply and his parents had noticed it."Why do look like you got much more bigger problem than your father, Drake?" His mother asked him but he did not answered. He is so pre occupied."Drake? Are you with us?" His father asked him that's when he came back to his senses. He blinked twice and looked at him."What? Are you talk
"Marry Adeline." His Aunt Lily said which made him stilled in his seat."WHAT?" He shouted and his eyes grew wider because of so much shocked. He seemed gotten deaf to what he heard."Yes. Marry my daughter in exchange for our help." His Uncle Antonio seriously said which made him more confused."You are gotta be kidding me Uncle, Auntie." He said and gave them a laughed. It is totally an absurd idea. In exchange for the help they would provide, he would marry Adeline? Hell no!He continued to laugh but stopped when he noticed that they are serious."We are serious Drake. Marry Adeline, in exchange we will merge our company with you, you should also take over the company instead of your father. You have studied business and also already have knowledge about the company." Drake's eyebrows furrowed and his face crumpled."Wait, wait. Are you serious about this? I mean,
The day had finally come, the day that Adeline had been waiting for. She was so excited since yesterday that she was unable to sleep because of extreme excitement. She dress nicely so that it will give a.good impression to Drake. She knows that the man hates her, but given the fact hat he agreed on marrying her gives her hope that maybe he is starting to see her as a woman and not some nuisance.She wore a casual white dress paired with black heels. She put on earnings, just a small ones and a heart pendant necklace. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She looks beautiful. No wonder Drake said yes to her parents offer.When she was finished fixing herself, she went downstairs and her parents are waiting for her. They smiled at her as she walked down the stairs like a Disney princess."You look amazing honey." Her father complements her and her cheeks flushed red and she felt shy.&n
Adeline smiled when the people inside left. At last, every thing will be okay now. And she is so happy about it that she was about to run all over the building."You did great Drake. I am so proud of you." Adeline's father complemented Drake and he just gave a smile, a smile that did not reach his eyes then nodded."I did not expect him also to talk like that, Antonio." Drake's father also commented."Well, I think he got it from you. Your good at business, he must have inherited business mind ability." Adeline's mother responded.They are still in the conference room. Their parents had decided that they can just talk there to make it easier.Thay all sat on thier chair. Adeline's facing Drake. Who is just silently sitting on his chair, looking like he is bored and not interested on the next agenda. Adeline already expected it though."So? About the wedding? We already told Adeline about it." Her mother is the one who started the conversatio
It was as if there was some thorn and pain Adeline felt in her chest at the words the man said to her. She did not know how and why he said that to her. She did not even do anything wrong but the man keeps on blaming her for everything. She did not even force her parents to marry Drake. It was a exchange for the help that her family gave to the man's family, but if he had said at the very beginning or just that he didn't want to and he didn't agree to the compensation her parents demanded, then he would have probably no problem right now. Even though she wants to make the man understand everything that she has nothing to do with it and she does not know about the wedding, the man does not listen and still insists on the thing she did not do and still continue to blame her. Sometimes she does not even understand why the man does not like her and hates her so much even though she is not doing anything wrong. Maybe it's because she likes the man, and that made h
*THE WEDDING DAY*Finally, the day that Adeline had been waiting for had come, the day that she waited for a long time. The day that she had dreamt for the past five years, the day in which she thought would never come to her.She still can not believe everything right now. And she is so happy. She was so excited since yesterday night and because of her so much excitement, she did sleep very early so that her skin will glow even more for the very special day of hers. She had not imagine and thought that everything she was dreaming for the past five years will come true. It is like a dream that is hard to believe. It seems like only yesterday when she kept on stalking the man's social media accounts but now she will be getting married to him. She is getting married to her ultimate crush. To her love of her life.She woke up early that day, she prepared and fixed herself. She put on a light make up
After Drake left, there was a commotion inside the church. They all could not believe what Drake had done, even friends could not believe his sudden departure. It was all of the sudden which made them shock, even Adeline. She thought everything will go smootingly as planned, never she had thought that it will end this way."What the hell just happened Lucio. Why did Drake left?" Adeline's mother said panicking. Her mother look at her worriedly, but she just smile to reassure her mother. A smile that did not reach her eyes."I also do not know Lily. I am so sorry." Her Aunt Samantha apologized, also look bothered and worried about the situation. Who wouldn't?Dan came forward to Adeline then look at her sadly. She gave her best friend a smile but Dan knew her better. Dan held her hand and pinched it soflty then gave her a warm smile."It's okay. Everything will be fine, okay?"
After Drake ran off from the wedding, he did not know where to go. He just drove his car to knowhere. He could think of no other place to go, as long as he could leave that place it was okay with him wherever he landed.He just continued driving until he realized that he was about to leave the city, but he did not stop and continued driving and minutes later he found himself in the beach.He suddenly burst into tears, not for no reason but because the beach he went to was their favorite beach that Natasha and him used to go to. He sobbed as he punched the steering wheel of his car. He is in so much pain. He seemed to be going crazy with the extreme pain he was feeling right now.He could not explain the pain at those times. It was as if his heart was being squeezed and crushed very finely. He knows that by the time he marries Adeline, he will never return to Natasha because he will be tied to Adeline for the
