THE HEIR Chapter 103
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

Mr Scott has not messaged them of when they should come over to his villa again so they had no reason to leave the hotel. Ruby was strolling through the hotel's garden when Veronica suddenly appeared from nowhere and grasped her neck, tightening her grip with a menacing intensity. Ruby began to struggle to remove her hands from her neck,but Veronica's grip was so strong that it was nearly impossible for her to free herself from her. Veronica only released her when she was satisfied with the fear that flashed through Ruby’s face. “What the fuck were you doing? You think you can just attack me like that?” Ruby yelled at her after she was released. “How dare you share a room with Damian?” Veronica spat,her voice filled with hatred. “What are you talking about?” Her eyes blazed with hostility “You think I didn't see him come out of your room this morning” she asked and began to close the distance between them “Did he sleep over at your place the other day too? Because I don't trust

As Damian cuddled with Veronica, his gaze drifted to the bathroom slippers Ruby had given him. He suddenly felt the need to return them to Ruby immediately since she would also need them. "I need to step out for a minute," he told Veronica, who lifted her head from his chest, curiosity in her eyes as she watched him get out of bed. "Where are you off to? Do you want me to come along?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of suspicion,her gaze still not leaving him Damian tried to sound nonchalant. "I just need to return some slippers to my secretary, Ruby. She might need them." Veronica's eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on the pink slippers. "I'll take care of it," she said, her tone firm, as she got out of bed and pointed at the slippers. "Is that the one?" Damian's heart skipped a beat, realizing that Veronica might question Ruby of why her slippers were with him. His sleepwalking was to be a secret and Veronica might pressure Ruby into telling her. "Ah, yeah, that's the one,"
