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

Ruby couldn't look at Damian as he walked towards the car. She was the one that initiated the kiss and he might have remembered it. That was what she was thinking,but on the other hand,Damian was trying to pretend like he didn't remember anything. Hiding behind the fact that he was drunk was the best thing to do since he wasn't ready to talk about it with her. “We have just 15 minutes to get to his Villa” he said to her with his gaze fixed on his watch. Ruby sighed in relief when she saw that he doesn't look like someone that remembers anything. Damian and Ruby, stepped out of the car and onto the driveway of Mr. Scott's villa. As they approached the entrance, the door swung open, and a smartly dressed butler greeted them with a smile. "Welcome sir, Mr. Scott is expecting you. Please, follow me." The man said to them politely. “We are lucky enough to get a warm reception today” Damian whispered to Ruby. Damian and Ruby followed the Butler through the foyer of the house into
THE HEIR Chapter 115
When Damian returned to his hotel room, he found it empty. He assumed that Veronica was with the so-called friend she spent the night with. He swiftly changed into a pair of dark blue denim jeans that fit him perfectly, without being too tight, and a comfortable T-shirt. With a sense of purpose, he headed out to meet with the hotel manager, aware that the security team might not readily comply with his request to review the footage. Luckily for him,he was able to talk with the lawyer and explained the situation to her. With her assistance,she told the security men to show Damian the footage he requested. His jaw clenched in anger and he fumed when he saw the footage. He felt a strong urge to confront her, but he knew he had to keep his cool, at least for now. Ashley had told him they needed their shares and they are close to getting it so he didn't want to ruin it. Damian's mind raced with anger and betrayal as he stormed out of the security office. He couldn't believe Veronica's au
THE HEIR Chapter 116
Damian's mind raced with a calculated plan. He knew he couldn't cut ties with Veronica just yet, but he needed to keep her on her toes. He had observed the tension between Veronica and Ruby, and a sly smile spread across his face as he created a scheme in his head He would use Ruby as a pawn to rattle Veronica's cage. Instead of making Ruby's work life miserable, he planned to suddenly become charming and friendly towards her, making Veronica believe he was developing feelings for her. At least if he can't break up with her yet,he needs to make her restless in the relationship. With a calculating gaze, Damian set his plan in motion, ready to manipulate the situation to his advantage. Little did Veronica know what was coming for her. They were ready to return to New York,so Ruby ordered a ride for them. Damian started what he had set up his mind to do when Veronica told Ruby to order two rides because she couldn't stand being in the same car with her. "She is my Secretary and I need

"Oh!" Damian exclaimed, joining the conversation. "So, when do you plan to transfer the shares?" He folded his arms across his chest, his eyes fixed on McLaren. McLaren smiled, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Well, I've already discussed this with your mother. I think it's best if you and Ashley get married within two weeks. The shares will be transferred to your ownership the day after the wedding." Damian's eyes widened in disbelief, his frustration palpable. He massaged the bridge of his nose, trying to compose himself. "I'm sure Veronica would want to take her time, just like me, instead of rushing into this marriage," he said calmly, his gaze shifting to Ashley. But to his surprise, Ashley seemed to be on board with McLaren's suggestion, her expression serene and satisfied. Damian's mind raced with confusion, wasn't she the one who had told him to ask Veronica for some space just recently? Why was she now supporting McLaren's absurd idea? "Trust me, Mr. Stevenson," McLa

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
