One True Heir Chapter 62
It was a gloomy day in the Robinson's residence, everyone was rather shocked at the turn of events, it was just too much to believe that they just lost their Father and husband. How unfortunate, how devastating and how pathetic. The doctors tried their best, but it was too late to save him. He was rather brought in Dead. Mr Osborne Robinson was dead and gone, there was no way he could have survived the bullet since it hit right through his head to his skull. After a long time in the hospital, crying and soliloquizing, the Family left the hospital but not before Jake signed the death certificate and watched his Father being wheeled to the morgue. They were currently in the Robinson's residence, including Zara and Mr Osman. The news of his death hasn't gotten to the media as the family wanted to mourn Mr Osborne Robinson before any third party.“Father didn't deserve to die,I don't recall Dad beefing with anyone, he was always easy going!” Freddy exclaimed bitterly before wiping his

Zara just got off from work and decided to visit her family. Although they spoke quite often on the phone, she missed seeing their faces. Once she got there, she met Max glued to the TV as he watched a movie. Meanwhile, Mr Gabriel was in the kitchen cooking. Zara stood beside Max for a total of fifteen minutes before the latter realized someone was right beside him.“Oh fuck! You scared me.” Max touched his chest as he tried to call himself down.“I have been here forever and you didn't even notice my presence!” Zara exclaimed before rolling her eyes.“This movie is intriguing and fascinating. You need to watch it.” Max spoke with a grin.“How I wish you were this serious with your books, at least you'd get straight As.” Zara countered.“Who says Cs aren't good? At Least I haven't gotten an F,” Max spoke before winking at his sister.“Arrgh!” Zara groaned in frustration.” You are just so difficult and annoying.” She commented.“And that is the main reason why I am Zara's brother, you

It was an awkward moment for Zara and Jake as they stared at each other in shock. Initially, Jake had told Max that he wanted to sleep and he should direct him to his room but Max decided to show him his room.After Max left the room, Jake lay on the bed and brought out his phone. He began surfing the internet and his social media accounts until he stumbled on something catching. It was a picture of a little girl who looked exactly like Zara. That was strange, right? “Does she have a twin?” Jake mumbled softly as he checked the picture again. Curiously he stood up to ask Zara directly. “ I hope she isn't asleep already.” Jake continued as he searched for Zara's room.“There are two rooms on this floor,” Jake stated as he remembered what Max had told him. He walked slowly through the passage until he got to the end and saw a door. The door was decorated pink and had Zara's name written boldly on it. “They are at loggerheads, even though their rooms are far apart. There's no room for

Jake was currently at the Robinson's residence, he sat at his late Father's chair and watched as his family argued amongst themselves. Sighing for the umpteenth time, he checked his wristwatch and glanced at their angry faces.“Can someone please tell me the reason for this argument?” Jake finally questioned and everyone looked at him in disgust.“Oh stop acting like My late husband, you would never be anything like him!” Mrs Laura Robinson snickered before rolling her eyes.“If I wasn't like him, he would never have given me his position. Don't you think so?” Jake smirked and the older woman glared at him. “What's the reason for this unnecessary argument? If in the next 5 minutes, no one is ready to speak, I might just let the law take over.” Jake started nonchalantly and every person present there looked at him in shock.“Are you going to call the cops on us? How dare you!” Mrs Rosalie barked.“Then it's best if you start talking before I do so. And by the way, where are your sons?

It's been three months since the death of Mr Osborne Robinson. Jake's responsibility to cater and look over the household was quite tiresome for him. At a point, he felt they were having issues purposely to get on his nerves.He had also wondered why everyone was always present in the Robinson's residence. Last he remembered, every member of the family had their houses, excluding his late Father's wives who rather had penthouses or mini islands which they used for vacation purposes.Meanwhile, Jake had been preparing for his company's dinner party which was expected to be held in the next two days. The party was the first ever official party in the company and the staff members were rather excited to grace the occasion. The party was expected to create awareness as Jake was going to launch the project he and his team had been planning for a while now. He hoped the appliance they were about to introduce would increase Their stocks and bring more sales across the country. Currently, J

Jake paced around his living room as he checked the time with his Rolex wristwatch. He sighed for the umpteenth time as he glanced at the stairs occasionally. Jake was waiting for Zara to come down so they could go together for the dinner party. He wondered what was delaying her from coming.“Zara was never like this.” He muttered bitterly before sighing once more.” Why did I have to invite professionals to get her dressed? She could have done it on herself and we might probably be at the event hall, greeting people by now.” Jake continued grumbling.After a while, the people who had helped Zara with her dress came down and bowed slightly In Front of Jake.“Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Zara is ready and will be down in the next few minutes.” One of them spoke and Jake Frowned.“It's almost 9 and we are supposed to be there at 7! I invited you both by 5 to get her ready before 7. Was two hours not enough? You used a total of 4 hours!” Jake expressed his displeasure and they bowed t

CHAPTER 68“Good day ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to this Dinner party, the first of its kind under the power and authority of Mr. Jake Robinson. The chairman of the C&C Global Company Ltd. I remain your host for today, Stan.” The host started and everyone clapped with a smile.“Thank you… thanks for the applause, this little man appreciates such gestures. Today isn't a day to be sad, but rather a day to rejoice. Everyone should eat their fill. It's quite strange that there aren't many stewards available in the hall, probably they are bringing in something. But be rest assured, there are lots to eat and drink.” Stan continued and everyone clapped cheerfully.Jake Gazed at Stan and tried signaling him to come down from the stage. There was trouble, too bad he had thrown his phone away, he could have texted Stan… “Shit!” Jake groaned in frustration. Zara glanced around, searching for the terrorist he saw.“I see no terrorists around. What are you talking about?” Zara asked, in

Zara had heard the first gunshot and was gripped in fear, She was worried and wanted to know what was going on. She dabbed her wet eyes with the back of her palm as she sniffed. Has anyone been shot? Were they gasping for their last breath? Was everyone covered in the pool of Their blood? Jake?As these thoughts pushed into Zara's heart, more tears rolled down her cheeks. She desperately wanted to know what was happening. But how would she be able to know if she was stuck here? Jake had told her to lock the door and shouldn't open it until he knocked twice. What if he doesn't come?She glanced at the window Jake told her to escape from and began crying silently. How was she supposed to escape knowing fully well that Jake and the rest were trapped in the hall?Suddenly, she heard a squeaky sound and then a creature ran past her leg. Just as she was about to scream, she covered her mouth and breathed frantically.She hated rats and was also scared of them. She wondered how many rats li
