Twenty One
Drake Blunt was already wondering what was taking Sarah Hopkins so long when a small knock on his door snapped him out of his thoughts. Adjusting his shirt as he reasoned the person knocking would be Anna coming in to announce the arrival of his guest, Drake made sure to assume a comfortable yet sexy angle as he relaxed into his chair.
“Drake.” The side of his lips dropped to his annoyance as Sarah strutted into his office. “ I am so glad you called me, I have missed you so-”
“Where is Miss Hendrick?” Drake found himself asking.
“Who?” The woman frowned as she walked closer.
“My secretary was meant to come up and inform me of your arrival before letting you in.”
“Oh.” A small smile that aroused Drake’s curiosity appeared on Sarah’s thin, well glossed lips. “I am pretty sure she is busy with some things. Anyway, I am so glad you called me. I was wondering if we

The journey to his grandfather's house was quiet.Each man seemed to be in his thoughts. Drake was especially trying to link the fire incident to the recent happenings.If he didn't wish to be careless, it was time for him to acknowledge that something was wrong somewhere.Out of the blues, the Biker gang came back into his family's life and like it was expected by his father who made sure the tear from the gang was legit, it was affecting the company.The incident was yet to have a tumultuous effect but if the fire incident was in any way true, Drake could tell something crazier was coming his way.As he looked out of the speeding car, the buildings that dashed past his eyes made him recall his dream of following in his predecessor's footsteps.

Something bothered Anna as she packed her stuff and left work after Drake and Alex hurried out.And that issue kept tugging at her mind till she reached Josh's house.Being a man that lived alone, he was extremely fond of pulling down his window drapes, so she was fooled for a second, it seemed like he was not around.But his front door was open and she walked in with ease."Josh?" Anna called as her legs passed the corridor that led to the main room.As her eyes compassed the entire setup of the room, she knew she had to do something about the disastrous state of his abode.Sighing as she bent to get a shirt of his off the gray, Anna recalled vividly how Darcy would take cleaning Josh's house so personal.She hated seeing his place looking like it was bombed a hundred times. No matter how tired she was, on entering Josh's untidy place, Darcy made sure she got rid of the eyesore situation of his house.This ac

Anna felt so stuffed as thoughts upon thoughts ran through her mind. If this man claiming to be Drake’s brother knows who she is, then Drake knew.It would be ridiculous if Drake didn’t know.That means, if he knew, he intentionally made her his secretary. That meant he has a plan of his own, a plan that would make her look like her a fool eventually.Anna scoffed as she reasoned it all, she almost forgot the man in front of her until he cleared his throat quite loudly.“It is sad. What happened to your sister is very sad.”“What do you know?” she asked cautiously.“I know that your family blames the company. I understand that.” He took a step forward, Anna took one backward, that look of caution still on her face."It must have been hard for you to accept the job offer despite what happened, but I am sure my brother has his reasons for doing so. But giving you a job doesn't right any wr

"I am honestly surprised, Drake," his father who was beaming with happiness said. "I thought you were still on your disappointing playboy path.""Oh, please," Drake laughed as it seemed like he had loosened up a bit. "With Anna by my side, I wouldn't dare to look elsewhere.""That's understandable." The hearty chuckle from his father filled the living room which had one sofa, a furnace, and a TV as the only occupants in the room.Anna kept sending murderous looks towards Drake who didn't look in any way bothered by the fact that he just told his father that she was his fiancee. He didn't even look at her at all.What was he aiming at, anyway, she thought.Did he really have a plan of his towards her? Did he find out who she was?Anna's head kept circling questions as she followed Drake and his father further into the exquisite building.The older Blunt looked back to face Anna."Anna, right?""Yes, sir."

Drake couldn’t tell what was going on at first. In fact, he thought she was trying to rebuke him for the sudden introduction to his father.But when his eyes sighted the blood that stained her top, just around the upper abdomen area, he got rid of his anger towards his family and held on to her dearly.“Anna,” he called, his eyes full of fright. As he cupped her cheek, he heard a loud rustle from a distance. It would have been a delight to go after the person running away but the woman in his arms was not allowed to die.“Is anyone there?” he shouted and got no response in return.Drake sprung into action. Gently carrying her in his arms, bridal style, he rushed past the pool and towards the front of the building where Damon happened to be having a smoke.His brother’s eyes bulged with fear as he sighted the woman who looked so limp in Drake’s hold.Before the younger man could give orders, his broth

Anna was surprised, she wouldn't lie.She never saw Drake as a man who would find it easy to fall on his knees, but she wouldn't deny the fact that seeing him that way made her feel a little better about the entire situation.He deserved to be dried in the sun for days, his knees not leaving the scorched ground. He deserved that much.But there was something else. Anna couldn't deny that fact.He was holding back a certain truth and taking all the blame for her sister's death.As Anna's darting eyes traveled to the entrance once more, she said, "Your apology doesn't work in this situation.""But," she could hear the sadness in his voice, "I can't give you anything else right now.""I want to know who killed my sister." Anna's head shifted abruptly in his direction and his gaze fell instantly. "You can't give me that?" she asked, her brows twitching as she studied the expression on his face.His hands on his laps for

“Can we trust her?” Alex asked Drake whose footsteps led him away from the entrance to the room as he tore his eyes from the image of Anna hugging her father dearly.“No. But we have no choice. I have no choice,” Drake replied, his entire being trying to ignore the pain within him that Anna Hendrick’s words caused him.“Are you really going to tell her everything? You haven’t even found it in you to tell me what happened that day.”As Drake increased his steps, his head finally found the strength to feel angry about the entire situation. Because of what happened back then, he had to hear Anna rain those words on him.Those hurtful, painful words.He knew she did it to get some load off her chest but the person she was dumping it all was not exactly as strong as he seemed. He had his battles he has been trying to fight, it was not certain he could hold on for so long.“Drake?”
