Hello, hello… hellooo!" Before Celine replied, the call was hung up. "Ergghhh." "What's going on?" Drake was confused to find her mood changed to be angry. "What can I do for you at this moment?" "I won't do anything for this guy!" Celine grumbled as placed her phone down. "Damn you!" "Your boy? Does he do something to hurt you?" Drake cleaned his mouth using a napkin as he got done with his meal. "Drake, can I put my trust in you?" Celine eventually made her mind to speak up. "I… actually… I'm pregnant and need many things for me and my baby. So…" "You need money." Celine nodded. "Yes, I do but above all… his responsibility. He said that he would marry me if I'm pregnant with his baby. But he disclaimed it's his baby. He even gives me hush money and gets me to keep it under wraps."Celine had no choice but to tell him as she should address her needs during pregnancy. When she knew that the new CEO was Drake, she had been thinking to ask Drake for help after Aaron disclaimed her

"Drake! Drake!" Diana shouted. He turned to the door slowly when the door opened. The young woman seemed furious and rushed to him.Slap! Drake gasped. It shocked him that Diana slapped him for the first time. "What did you say about us?" Diana snapped him. "People say I'm married to you. We become the talk of the town now! You know what happened to me? I'm ashamed! You embarrassed me!" Slap! His red eyes wider trying to believe what just had happened. Drake realized that this was real life he had to deal with. However, as far as he remembered, he didn't tell or answer any questions people had asked. "What are you talking about?" He didn't truly understand what was going on. To this date, the secret wedding was saved with him. He wouldn't have any courage to reveal their wedding. "Why did you expose this fake wedding?" "I didn't. I never tell anybody about it," Drake denied. "If you say that you don't, then how can they talk about us? Don't make a lie, Drake. I can do bad thi

"Hey, no way! If it's true that he used magic, they would surely tell the world about the big day. They won't hide the marriage, you know? In fact, they never looked to be with each other to date. He still works here as a cleaning worker. If he's the son-in-law of this company owner, he won't work from nine to five at the pantry. He would have been sitting in the boss' room enjoying his new position as a manager or direct—""How could he possibly occupy that position? What can he do with the job? Meeting, analyzing and decision making… ah, just to be a normal employee like us, he won't be able to. How could he understand how to make a report?" the operational staff interrupted. Drake was an orphan and needy, had been working for the company for three years. Before the marriage happened, he was only an unconsidered lowly worker and didn't have a close relationship with any of them. He didn't know who and how the news was disclosed at the office.

Drake felt pain on his knee joint but it was nothing compared to the wound of humiliating her mother. He'd cried a tear for his mother after leaving her room that night. He was able to handle any insult directed at him but not his mother. She was his everything whom he loved the most. A whisper came to his mind to avenge Diana's demeanor, but how?Inevitably, Drake had to continue his work. The Johnson family at the dinner table began to leave. Last night, Diana insulted him by calling him an 'idiot' for such a trivial matter. As an international business graduate, Drake should be able to get a decent and good job. However, fate has forced him to choose a cleaning service job. Drake had no choice due to financial difficulties and the difficulty of getting a job."You're so stupid to still work at my father's place as a cleaning service. It's a pity that your mother sent you to school, but you ended up in Johnson's pantry."He might be poor, but he shouldn't be treated inhumanely, es
THE UNWANTED HEIR: HIDDEN POWER 4. Divorce
At nine in the morning, after the meeting with Diana's attorney, Drake emerged from the house carrying his suitcase. The laceration on his hand was better and still bandaged. Drake searched for a very cheap apartment to stay in. He chose not to go back to his mother's house so that she wouldn't ask questions and be stressed. However, Drake ran out of money that wasn't enough to rent an apartment for a few days. He was jobless now, homeless and broke. Where would he go? Drake was thinking about finding a new job while sitting down on the bench after dragging his luggage around the street for two hours as holding back the whole pain in his body. Unfortunately, the supervisor didn't give him a reference letter he should have received when the termination notice was issued. The worst part was he still had no idea the specific reason for his termination. "What are you doing here, Drake?" Drake moved his eyes to him. The man he recognized as Rooney, standing in front of him, gazing at

Drake stared at the door, expecting someone would come to his aid as his entire body was stiff. Soon after, a male servant entered to see him."You're awake," the servant said as he approached the bed. Drake's expressionless face caught his attention.Drake had never seen him before and the room he was in now. He wanted to speak but couldn't move his tongue, so he tried to communicate with him through his eyes.“Do you need something?”Drake closed his eyes and nodded at the same time. He wanted to pee and felt like he got naked from the blanket covering up his body to chest.After making sure of his condition, the servant exited the room. “He woke up, ma'am.”“Finally. Make ready his meal and bring it to the room. I’m gonna see him.”The servant bowed a bit until the old woman made her way to the exit. She used a cane to help her walk. At almost sixty years old, she looked quite fit despite the wrinkles on her face."How are you, Child?" she came closer and smiled down at him. "I foun
THE UNWANTED HEIR: HIDDEN POWER 6. Bomb at the party
“I have two sons whom I expect to continue managing our company. They two are my heirs, but they're bad in organizing business to keep it going fine. They often spend much money to have fun, but spend little time at work. I should’ve had my pension today and put my company in their trust. But I’m not lucky cos they almost let me go bankrupt.” Quiet. “That’s why I ask you to be the CEO. It will surely attract their attention to change the bad habits and be more serious in work cos they’re gonna think their position would soon be replaced by someone else. A business only needs a capable person to sit down on the chair,” Jessie knocked on the desk three times. “Remember, Child, life is hard but business is crueler. You’ll get a lot of things from this plan. You can say I take some benefits from you.” Still silence “You don’t have much time to think about it, Son. If you think it’s temporary, just take this chance to repay them to their deen. Cos after that, you won’t hold that positio
THE UNWANTED HEIR: HIDDEN POWER 7. The flame burns
Amidst the sound of the music, Rooney came to join them in congratulating the spouse, passionately hugged Nicole and Abraham. He turned around, was stunned to see Drake looking completely different. He could not believe his eyes when he saw Drake looking like a rich man. “Drake? Is that you?” Rooney's voice sounded very surprised. "How are you, Rooney?" Drake smiled happily at Rooney like a dog in heat looking at an unretrievable bone, but he also felt his breath catch at the mention of auntie to Nicole. Rooney neglected his question. “What are you doing here? How can you wear that costly dress and come here? You know, you can’t come in if you don’t have the invitation card and show it to the security. This party is only for rich people, not for moneyless people like you.” Drake hated to hear the repeated question and asperse because they should have known who he was now. “I know.” However, Rooney grabbed Drake's suit quickly. "You must have stolen those clothes and sneaked in her
