THE HEIR Chapter 101
Damian spent the rest of the day walking around and admiring the Company while Ruby was rooted to her desk, drafting his schedules and updating herself with things they had missed while they were away. When it was 7 pm, he was the first to leave the office and just passed by Ruby without even bidding her goodbye. “Your life must be so easy right now” Ruby said and sighed as she watched him leave. The excitement in Damian died down when he got to his car that was waiting for him,and saw that Veronica was already waiting for him too beside it. “Hey babe” she smiled broadly at him when she saw him and walked closer to him. Damian had thought Ashley had told her about giving him space but judging by how she was right in front of him,he knew it was either Ashley didn't tell her or she just didn't listen. And now,he would end up spending his night with her and trying to figure out his feelings. “Hi” he said and forced a smile, pulling her in for a hug which made Veronica smile. “I di

Damian's eyes widened in confusion as he witnessed the intimate scene before him. His mind raced with questions. Why was Veronica, his supposed girlfriend, embracing his enemy, Nathan? What was the nature of their relationship that allowed such a display of affection? He cleared his throat loudly, announcing his presence, and Veronica sprang away from Nathan, her haste only fueling Damian's suspicions. "I came to check on you," Damian said, feigning nonchalance, and his tone was neutral. "I'm exhausted and think I need to head home and rest." Veronica's response was laced with nervousness, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Yes, of course, let's go. I'm done here." She swiftly intertwined her arms with Damian's, her gaze avoiding Nathan's as they bid him a hasty goodnight. As they departed, Nathan's eyes lingered on the pair, his expression sceptical. "Are they truly in a relationship?" he muttered to himself, his voice barely audible, his eyes narrowing as he adjusted his suit. So

Ruby sluggishly reached over to silent the persistent alarm, which had been ringing every five minutes for the past half hour. She was jolted awake when she saw the time ,it was 7:30 am! She hastily gathered her things from Raymond's room, where she had spent the night, and made her way to the living room,careful enough not to wake the boy. As she changed into the outfit she had worn to work the previous day, Melissa suddenly appeared, startled, and let out a little yelp. "Oh my goodness, you scared me!" she exclaimed, her heart still racing. Ruby shot her a glare. "You should have woken me up! Now I'm running late for work and will have to face Damian with his newly purchased sharp tongue" Melissa offered, "Do you want a quick breakfast?" Ruby's brief smile faded as quickly as it appeared. "No, thanks." After dressing up, she grabbed her car keys from the couch and headed for the door. "How do I look?" she asked Melissa, seeking a final confirmation that she was presentable fo

"Let's pay the President a visit," Mathew said to his Secretary, his voice firm and decisive. With a swift gesture, the Secretary pressed the button for the tenth floor, their destination. As the elevator doors slid open and Mathew stepped out of it,his presence commanding and authoritative,Ruby's eyes widened in surprise, her heart racing with anticipation. She sprang to her feet, her mind racing with questions. What did Mathew want? Why had he come to the tenth floor unannounced? She wasn't new to the fact that Mathew’s presence around Damian was never a good news and meeting him with Damian’s current situation was a bad idea “How can I help you sir?” she asked politely.“The President is in his office right? I need to see him”“The President?” Ruby asked as she thought of the best thing to say that would make him leave.“Yes,the President,” Mathew said with an irritated expression.“He is in but actually you will need an appointment. That is what he said, everyone needs an appoint

Ashley's eyes widened in astonishment, her face pale with shock, as she repeated, "Mathew said that?" Her voice trembled slightly, betraying her attempt to appear calm. Damian nodded, his eyes fixed on hers, awaiting her response. Ashley's mind raced,as she wondered how Mathew found out,then she concluded it was just him guessing and was only trying to confirm it from Damian,but unfortunately for him, his memories were gone and couldn't confirm Mathew's guess for him.She feigned disbelief 'Is that old fool finally losing his grip on reality?' She forced a laugh, trying to convince Damian of Mathew's supposed absurdity. She wasn't ready to tell Damian the truth,she wanted him to see her as his mother,so that he wouldn't question whatever decision she makes for him.“Same thing I said. Not like I have a twin”“Don't listen to him,okay? He is just a big fool displaying his speciality. Don't let people like him mess with your head” Ashley said and just then,her phone vibrated in her han

"Texas?" Ruby asked, incredulous. "Out of the blue, you dropped this bombshell on me?" Damian had just arrived at work and that was the first thing he said to her. Damian, freshly arrived at work, seemed unfazed. "Matthew called me on my way here. He needs me to convince a rancher in Texas to sell his property to our company." Ruby's eyes narrowed. "And why am I tagging along?" Damian sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Because, Ruby, I'm still getting accustomed to being back, and I can't do everything on my own yet. You're my secretary, and I need your support, isn't that your work here?" He asked rudely. Ruby's confusion persisted. "A ranch? What do we need a ranch for?" Damian's patience wore thin. "I don't know, Ruby! According to Matthew, it's a deal he's been trying to close before I returned, and now the rancher insists on meeting our new president which is me before finalising the sale. Now no more questions,we are leaving tomorrow” “Tomorrow?’ Ruby eyes widened in

“I need you to come out right now!” The loud bang on her door and Veronica's voice woke Ruby up in the morning. “I'm going to kill you if he is in there with you!” She threatened as she continued to bang the door. “Ma'am,you can't be doing this. You are disturbing the other guests” “Well if you want me to stop,get this door open!’ Veronica yelled adamantly. Just then the door opened revealing Ruby who was wearing a robe. When she heard Veronica's voice,she had quickly put on a robe because she couldn't go out in her revealing nightgown. “What is it with you? Why are you screaming this early?” She asked as she wiped the sleep off her face. “Where is Damian?” Veronica asked and folded her arms across her chest like she was ready to fight. “How am I supposed to know? You guys slept together” Veronica scoffed “Really?” She asked and pushed Ruby out of her way and entered the room to see if there were traces of Damian. She looked under her bed,the bathroom and even the wardrobe. “I

“Damian?” She called out in surprise, unable to believe he was actually standing in front of her room. The shirt of his pyjamas were unbuttoned revealing the nice view of his body that she has so much missed “Do you need something?” She asked him but there was no reply. He just stood there,his face downwards with his hair covering his face which scared Ruby a bit. She has never seen him that way when they were dating so she had no idea of what was going on. Then something clicked on her head, something she hoped it wasn't. Sleepwalking! She has slept with him a lot of times and he has never sleepwalk. But then,it began to make sense,he probably sleptwalked to the pool and slept off there. “How come he told no one?” She asked with concern. “I want to sleep" he said,his voice barely above a whisper and raised his head to reveal his widely opened eyes. She immediately went to her bed and took her phone to record him so that he wouldn't think she was the one who brought him to her ro

*A Message from Javier Stevenson, CEO* To valued employees and colleagues, After careful consideration, I'd like to address the recent speculation surrounding my personal life. Yes, the picture circulating online is genuine. Ruby and I have been in a committed relationship for some time. Her unwavering support, particularly during my recovery from the accident, has been invaluable. Despite my memory loss, she stood by me, tolerating my struggles and nurturing my healing. Our bond has grown stronger with each passing day. I proudly affirm my love for Ruby, and I won't apologize for it. However, I do regret keeping our relationship private for so long. To those who may still feel uncomfortable or judgmental around Ruby, I urge you to reflect on your actions. Your professionalism and respect are essential. If you cannot maintain a positive work environment, I suggest considering resignation or facing termination. I value fairness, equality, and mutual respect within our organizatio

The screen shattered on impact, rendering it useless. "Seriously? What's today's agenda - total chaos?"

As lunch break arrived, Javier's face lit up with anticipation. He smoothed his hair with his fingers and rose from his seat, eager to steal away Ruby with the excuse of going for lunch. But just as he opened the door and was about to invite her out, Mark piped up. "Are you heading to the cafeteria? I've heard great things about the food. Mind if I join you?" Mark asked, his innocence unaware of the underlying tension. Ruby's eyes flicked to Javier, her expression hesitant. “The cafeteria was a place she hadn't set foot in since becoming Javier's secretary "The cafeteria?" Ruby repeated, her tone laced with subtle surprise. Javier's smile faltered, his plans foiled by Mark's untimely suggestion. He silently began to pray that Ruby would turn him down and go out with him instead but his prayers became nothing when Ruby accepted. “Well, it's your first time,so I might as well show you around" “Miss Morris can I see…” he was cut off by Mark who was surprised to hear his voice

Marco’s concerned expression caught Ruby off guard as he approached her. "Are you certain you're ready to return to work today?" he asked, his voice laced with empathy. Ruby's brow furrowed in confusion. "Why wouldn't I be?" Marcin's eyes softened. "Your boyfriend called us and shared what you've been through. We're all relieved you're safe, but he insisted that I let you take the time to fully recover. He even offered to pay anyone who covers your shift so you can focus on your well-being because the girls are definitely willing to do that for you" “Oh,I see. Thank you so much Marco”Ruby's heart swelled with gratitude, touched by Javier's thoughtful gesture. “But then,he could have told me instead of making me take a trip down here” she muttered to herself as she moved away from Marco As Ruby's colleagues escorted her to the changing room, their whispers turned into a chorus of excitement.

Javier's eyes fluttered open to find Ruby's gentle hand wrapped around his arousal, sending a spark of surprise through his body. A warm smile spread across his face. "Good morning," he whispered, his voice husky with sleep. Ruby's soft whisper tickled his ear, "It's hard." She withdrew her hand, but Javier's eyes locked onto hers, filled with mischief. "Big man is extra hard today because you're here," he teased, lifting the duvet to glance at his erection. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "I think we might need your help with this situation." With a playful nudge, he guided Ruby's hand back to his arousal, his fingers intertwining with hers. His day has not fully started but he could tell it was going to be a great day with the way it started. “Then let's do something to it” “We are going to something to yours first. So get ready for a rollercoaster of pleasures” he whispered and made her sit in his laps. Ruby yelped when Javier ripped off her black lace lingerie s

Javier's grip on Ruby's hand tightened as he gazed lovingly at her fragile form on the hospital bed. Despite the progress she'd made, her face still bore a pale, wan complexion, and the bruises on her body lingered as a haunting reminder of her ordeal. As he tenderly adjusted the covers to ensure her comfort, Ruby's eyes fluttered open, and she weakly shrugged. "Ruby!" Javier exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion as he leaned in closer, his face inches from hers. "Ruby, are you awake? Oh, thank God!" He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes scanning hers for any sign of recognition or pain. Ruby's gaze slowly focused on Javier's face, and a faint smile played on her lips as she whispered, "Javier..." Her voice was barely audible, but it was enough to send a wave of joy and gratitude through his entire being. “I was stupid for not being with my phone at a crucial time. You must have felt alone and scared. I'm sorry” he apologised again. “No. I wasn't scared at all because I knew

Javier burst through the police station doors, his heart racing with dread. He rushed to the front desk, his eyes scanning the room for help. "Please, I need to report a missing person," he urged, struggling to keep his voice steady. The officer behind the desk looked up, expression sympathetic. "Okay, sir, let's get some information. Who's missing?" "Ruby, my girlfriend," Javier replied, his hands shaking as he handed over his phone with the message. "She was supposed to come home from work hours ago, but she never showed up. I found this message, and when I tried to call her, she wasn't answering." The officer's expression turned sceptical as he read the message. "I understand your concern, sir, but this doesn't necessarily mean she's missing." Javier's frustration grew. "I'm telling you, she's in danger! A convict who's been threatening us just broke out of prison, and now Ruby's gone. She has a tracker, and her last location is a place she'd never normally go to. I need you to
