THE HEIR Chapter 106
"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
THE HEIR Chapter 110
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,"
THE HEIR Chapter 111
Ruby wore a pair of dark wash trousers with a black t-shirt and a white sneakers. It was just a bar so there was no need to overdress including the fact that she didn't want to impress Jeremy too much and her plan was to tell him that she has a boyfriend so that his feelings for her won't run deep. As she got ready,her phone vibrated and it was a message from Mr Scott's Secretary stating that they would be available tomorrow morning to close off the deal. “I hope you won't give us excuses again tomorrow because I'll be the first to smash a bottle on your head" Ruby said to herself and applied her lip gloss and mascara before leaving her room. She was going to branch Damian's room first and tell him about Mr Scott's Secretary message before heading to the bar. When she got there and knocked on the door,it was Veronica who answered. She was dressed in a red sexy gown that showed all of her curves and complimented her skin. It made Ruby guess they were going out and at the same time
THE HEIR Chapter 112
Jeremy was a really soft and nice person and Ruby really hoped he would meet someone as amazing as he was. It was when she told him that she and her boss would be returning back to New York soon that she learnt that he was also based in New York. That piece of information made Ruby realize that Jeremy wouldn't just be a random friend she met in Texas but someone she would actually be a really good friend with even in New York. After they had both enjoyed their night,they said goodbyes to each other and they both went their separate ways. Ruby got out of the elevator and saw Damian lying on the floor, drunk and alone. She had been having a good time with Jeremy, but this sight made her feel worried and upset. There was no sign of Veronica. Ruby felt a mix of emotions as she looked at Damian. “Why are you here?” She bent down beside him and tried to help him sit up. “She said I should wait here” he said and Ruby figured he was referring to Veronica. She gritted her teeth in anger but

“Just don't let me find you,else,I'll pull out all of your hair today you slut!” Ruby muttered to herself as she went back to her room,she was infuriated and if she had seen Veronica at that moment she would have slapped her hard on the face. She was still the same, shameless and reckless. Just like how she slept with Nathan and even got pregnant. The fact that she even kissed the guy in Damian's presence irritated her more and she wished he would remember that part and just end things with her. Damian's head was banging when he woke up and it felt like it would explode soon. He groaned and held his head in his hand. “Oh my goodness!” He muttered. Then he realized he was in his room. The last thing he remembered was lying outside of the elevator and Veronica telling him she would be back so how did he get to his room? “Did I sleepwalk into my room?” He asked himself but then it sounded weird to him. “Was it Veronica?” He looked around,but there were no traces of Veronica which mean

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.

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
