Chapter 71 - Self Pledged.

"Everything is according to plan?" She exclaimed with happiness as she got out of her car.

"Yeah that's true, Drake made are plan to be executed more easily, else it would have been harder to make this happen."

She wasn't able to stop smiling as finally, her revenge was taking place. Wearing an off-shoulder dress ending just above her knees she was flipping her black hair back now and then as she walked towards the house.

"I waited for this day all this time and now that it's happening I can't believe." She said and declined the phone call after a few seconds.

"Now you'll see what happens when you don't work according to Carla Pearson." She and was

about to enter the house when someone grabbed her wrist and took her to the parking of the carter mansion.

"Ah!" She yelled and the man covered her mouth.

"Mmm," She mumbled.

"Shut up!" He yelled and finally let her wrist and her big mouth go.

"Drake?!" She exclaimed being shocked.

"What the hell are you thinking you're doing?" She asked with disgusted expressions.

"Now, tell me what you did with Niall?" He asked with furious expressions.

"What do you mean by what I did with him? Stop wasting my time and let me g-" She was about to leave when Drake held her arm tightly and jerked her to stand where she was standing earlier without moving.

"Ah!" She wailed as she rubbed her arm.

"Stop acting up!" He yelled and Carla went quite.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.

"I heard you!" He yelled grinding his teeth to keep it low.

"So spit it out before I do something which a gentleman shouldn't do!" His eyes warned her along with his words.

Carla is beauty without brain and is a scaredy-cat and Drake knew it very well. He knew that if he scared her a bit more she would spit out everything which she has been hiding. So it was easy for him to handle her.

"Are you going to open your mouth or I may use vio-"

"Niall was drunk last night!" She finally got ready to spat everything out while Drake respired sharply because of the anger which has been boiling all this time inside him.

"Last night when..." She gulped as Drake glared at her while standing and crossing his arms.

"He left the ceremony in between and someone went to his house and gave him the pills."

"Which pills?" He questioned.

"Um- Ah.."

"Spit it!" He yelled and she shuddered.

"Th-the pills...which he has been taking now for a month."

"I asked what kind of pill is it?!" He clenched his jaws.

"Ah, those pills were making him like a drug addict, and...it wou-would make him go cr-crazy by now."

"What? Drugs?! You gave him drugs?" He yelled as his voice echoed

"No, it wasn't m-"

"What is your plan further?" He asked as he kept his hands in his pockets and clenched his fists.

"We jus..just needed to prove him a psy-psychopath, and-and last night we told him that Sarah, the girl he loves."

"What?" These things were new for Drake he never knew that Niall loves a girl and that too it is his own new manager.

"We told him that she knew that his mother is alive."

"Wait! yo-you mean aunt Merylin is alive?!" His eyes widened as he couldn't believe it.

Carla nodded slightly as she kept her fists on her chest and leaned a bit back cause she was way too much scared to this side of Drake now.

"And so?" He asked feeling restless.

"And so...today the media will barge into his house as we know that he'll do something unethical today."

"WE! WE! WE?!" Drake yelled being frustrated.

"Who else?"

She was about to answer when her phone rung,

"Yes aunt Flora, I'll be at your home anytime now. Just wait I'll be there now." She said.

She took a look at Drake who was thinking something and was about to run away when he held her again,

"I haven't finished yet." He looked at her as his dark aura made her shudder more and more by every passing second.

"Let's meet later tonight, I have more questions to ask. And yeah, dare to tell anyone about this conversation. You know my ears are everywhere and you also can't even imagine how violent I can be." And he pushed her back.

She ran away from the parking like a headless chicken and here Drake stood there thinking what should he do next. Even if he now knew the plan no one would believe it. And if he went there by himself it will add more chaos to the already chaotic situation.

Thinking about whom he should ask for help he came up with one person.

"Hello, Emma."

"Hey, Drake! How have you been?" Emma asked being a bit tensed and delighted at the same time.

"Yeah, I'm all good. Actually...I have a favour to ask."

"Yeah sure, go ahead." She replied.

"Can you send me Sarah's number, I have to talk to her it's quite important?" He asked being a bit hesitant.

"Sarah's, I may give it to you but you see...she is at Niall's house and if you called her then Niall might lose his temper."

"Niall's house?" He whispered lightly as he knew that if she's there then she is in danger.

"Yeah, why?

"Then...then send me Jeremy's."

"Jeremy's...okay I'll do it right now."

"Oh! thanks a lot" He exclaimed with full gratitude.

As soon as he got the number he called Jeremy who was in his room working on his laptop secretly. He has been hiding something from everyone and has never wished to tell anyone about it. And now that he was on the verge of leaving Niall's company he has got even more time to spend on his work.

"Hello, Jeremy!" Now Drake was restless.

"Yes speaking who's this?"

"It's me, Drake Carter," he replied.

"Oh, Drake, how have you been buddy?" He said.

"I'll tell you later first listen to me carefully."

"What happened you seem a bit tensed," Jeremy said as his brows furrowed and he sat straight in his chair.

"Sarah is in danger, reach Niall's house as soon as possible." As soon as he ended Jeremy slightly whispered,

"What?!"

And the phone call went disconnected.

****

Jeremy ran out of his room in a great hurry. He came out not knowing that Emma was already gone with the only car that they possessed.

"Emma! Ugh!" He groaned in anger and ran out of the house.

Inside his mind, he was in great terror. He was only one of all who knew that Niall could be the reason for Sarah being in danger one day but still, he kept quiet for sake of their relationship. He was only one out there who would've believed Drake and so after hearing Drake he ran towards the main road to get a taxi.

Wearing a dark grey polo t-shirt and a pair of black sweatpants along with white shoes while his hair was all uncombed and messy, he ran towards the main road five minutes away from his house and caught a cab. No matter even if he has to kill Niall this time he'll save Sarah anyhow as he had self pledged in the past...

"You won't be able to be with her all your life if you keep ignoring your surroundings. And note this, only she will have to pay for what you did..."

"And if that ever happens you'll be the first one I'll beat the pulp out of whom. And I'll always be there to protect her and I promise that to myself..."

As soon he reached outside the bungalow of Niall he didn't spot anyone, not even guards which were very unusual. Cause earlier when Niall and he used to be friends and they used to hang out in his bungalow he had spotted many guards outside his house as the rumours about him were very frequent. So, to stop the media from entering his house without his knowledge those guards were appointed by his mother, Flora.

He ran towards the main door leading inside and found it opened.

"This isn't a good sign." He whispered within himself.

As he opened it slightly he met the slightly lit hall of Niall because of the sunlight penetrating through those thin curtains.

His eyes roamed around the whole house and suddenly he noticed something, in the corner. Niall with Sarah while she was continuously slapping his hand to get rid of his tight grip on her neck. Jeremy who had been worried all this time went furious and yelled,

"NIALL LEAVE SARAH ALONE!"

As his panting voice echoed in the dark and quiet hall of the bungalow and Niall looked at Jeremy while his hand loosened the grip on Sarah's neck. He had come to his senses now, thanks to Jeremy.

But before any one of them could move even a bit the door behind Jeremy flew open and many people barged into his house. Cameras started to flash and people talked and questioned Niall in a chorus who was still holding Sarah's neck.

"Mr Niall you're under arrest for harassing a woman." An inspector came foreword and spoke up boldly...
