Chapter forty seven

Drake's POV

After an endless session of pacing up and down in Erastus my manager living room, my lawyer Kimono arrived."Finally you remembered I pay you..." I sneered, shaking his hand.

"I had a court hearing Drake..."

" So how bad is it?" I sat heavily on the sofa beside Wayne that it seemed I almost fell into it."Good news, she can't trap you legally..." He beamed and sat next to Erastus.

"Care to elaborate?" I asked, grabbing a can of beer from Wayne's hand."That's was mine..." He cried out.

"Shut up and let's listen..."

"Since you two had s*x nine months ago, it will be hard to secure forensic evidence such as semen, bruises or scratches..." Kimono explained.

"But why would there be bruises and scratches, I didn't f*cking rape her.She wanted it as much as I did. Which I know regret wanting it..."
"She thought she was smart but she is as dumb as she can be. . Lucky you, she didn't record your lovemaking..." Kimono added.

"We didn't make love, we f*cked..." I clarified, earning odd looks from all of them.

"Thanks for clarifying even though it wasn't necessary Harrison. I hope you have another way to make this go away..." Kimono arched me a perfect eyebrow.

"That's why I have you and Erastus to make this madness go away..." I replied in almost a loud voice.

"Things aren't that bad.. You have lost a few followers which is normal and unless she pressed charges against you, your career as a baskeballer is still intact..." If Erastus wanted to make me feel better, he failedI didn't want to hear things aren't that bad, I wanted assurance that this bullsh*t would soon die..

"Erastus, do you have a plan?"

"No one knows where she is.I have been to her house but no one has seen her for the past four days..."

"And how is that supposed to be of help?" I was losing my patience with these useless people.

"There is actually something that could help..." He passed me his phone and it was a photo of Ella and Cardi in what seemed like a Cafeteria.From the look on their faces, it seems they were talking serious business.

"And when was this taken?"

"Ella had posted it on Instagram hours after her stupid video went viral but deleted it minutes later..." Erastus stated.

"So it means that her and Cardi had met earlier on before she posted that madness on her IGTV?"

"And when was this taken?"

"Ella had posted it on Instagram hours after her stupid video went viral but deleted it minutes later..." Erastus stated.

"Yeah, in both scenarios she was wearing the same dress..."

"What do you suggest we do?" I asked.

"Talk to Cardi and maybe she will convince her to pull it down..." I couldn't believe the words coming from Kimono's mouth.

"I can't believe what you are asking me to do..." I slapped the can of beer on the table.

"She is probably mad because of the silly things you have been posting on Instagram of late.." Kimono barked.

"They are not silly.Whatever I posted is the truth.I am getting married soon and that ring you saw its the engagement ring I gave my soon to be wife..." I said emphasizing each word.

"What!! you are getting married?" Erastus' jaw dropped with shock.

"She is so pretty..." Wayne added.

"Yeah, in two weeks probably if this crap goes away..." I replied dryly.


"Do I know her?" Kimono asked curiously.

"We will find out after I introduce her to the world.So that aside, is there any way to get to Ella without talking to my crazy ex?"

"I am afraid No.And you better talk to her fast before she does more crazy things.She is an angry woman who can't accept her ex boyfriend is marrying another..." Erastus cautioned, passing me another can of beer.

"My life is so complicated.My fiancee will be mad if she finds out, I have to talk to Cardi" I raked my fingers through my hair furiously.

"This is about you as a brand Drake so as you manager I would advise you to make your fiancée understand that it's a matter of death and life..." Erastus snapped, slamming the table..

"But what if Cardi isn't involved? Maybe she found out about Ella's plans and was trying to stop her." I still couldn't accept Cardi would scope so low.I thought what we shared was special and mattered. I helped her get to the top and this is how she plans to repay me. She better not be involved because I won't spare her.I held her hand to the top and in the same way I can push her back down.


"Keep dreaming bro.The Cardi I know would sell her soul to the devil to get what she wants..." Wayne has never been a fan oF Ivy Alvaro from day one.

"How did you not know she was a minor?" Kimono gave a confused look.

"She looked of age to me.All s*xy and beautiful looking at me with a face that screed, I want to be in your bed tonight. I didn't have time to ask how old she was, I just wanted to get inside her panties very fast. I am not sure..."

"Too much information..." Kimono cut me off.

"I hope the girl you are marrying is different from these crazy women in your life..." Erastus smiled smugly.

"Yeah.She is the perfect woman for a man like me..."

"I guess we are done here so I should get going,"Kimono said, standing from the sofa," It was nice catching up gentlemen..."

"Thanks Kimono, make sure nothing explodes on my face..." I said in more of a warning tone.

"Sure Harrison."

After Kimono left, we continued having some beer as Erastus tried to force information about Jemima out of me using mind tricks.

" Not working bro. I am not spilling yet."

" Is she a model, actress, a billionaires daughter, an influencer?At least that you can spill..."

"She is my woman.That's all I can spill..."

"Before I forget, your mom has been looking for you.She said and I quote 'Tell Drake to call me back when he can' "The moment I turned on my phone in the morning, it couldn't stop buzzing. I was afraid of that went on, it would explode . A million and one social media notifications, missed calls and voicemails which I chose to ignore apart from articles about Jemima's little dance yesternight.For her own sake, I hope she doesn't read through them. Some were okay while others were pretty nasty.

"Thanks for the reminder Wayne. Do you mind driving me to the Harrison's ' mansion?I know everyone apart from father is worried sick about me."

"Sure bro.It's not like I have a choice..."

"I owe you one..." I squeezed Wayne 's shoulder.

"No, you owe me more than one Drams ..." Wayne yelled.

"Okay," I lifted my hands up in surrender," You win, shall we go now?"

"Sure Drake..."

"See you later Erastus and I hope this stupid plan works..." There was a ton of warning on the edge of my voice.

"That's why you pay me Drake..."I quickly gulped down the remaining beer in the can before Wayne and I left.
