THE HEIR Chapter 126
Damian subtly adjusted his plate, intuitively sensing Ruby's expectation for him to begin eating. As he glanced up, he caught her biting her lower lip in anticipation of her first bite. Oblivious to his gaze, Ruby focused on her food, unaware of Damian's lingering attention on her lips. The memory of their recent kiss resurfaced. His mind wandered, imagining the softness of her lips and the spark that would have ignited if she had kissed him back. The thought sent a thrill through him, and he quickly looked away, focusing on his own meal to conceal his fascination. As Damian took his first bite, Ruby's enthusiasm was palpable. She dug into her food,her eyes closing in rapture as she savoured the flavours. Damian couldn't help but be captivated by her joy, his chuckles escaping as he watched her relish each morsel. "Were you laughing at me?" Ruby asked, her eyes snapping open, a hint of defensiveness in her voice. Damian feigned nonchalance, "Are you a baby?" he teased, trying to con

Damian's gaze remained fixed on Ruby, his eyes searching for answers as he slowly released his grip on her arms. Ruby's confession had left him stunned, making him challenge his memory of that night. "You kissed me?" he asked, disbelief etched on his face. "Why would you do that? You weren't drunk, were you?" Ruby's voice trembled as she admitted, "I was feeling tipsy." She lied because she realised she wasn't ready for Damian's reaction. The phone's timely ring broke the tension, and Ruby eagerly answered Ben's call, grateful for the escape. "Hey, I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting,I'm already at the parking lot”Ben apologised. “We will be there soon” Ruby quickly ended the call and turned to Damian, her voice barely audible. "He's waiting for us." Damian nodded, his eyes still probing hers. "We'll continue this conversation another time," he said, his tone firm but laced with curiosity. As they walked towards the car, the silence between them was palpable. Her confession mad

Ruby exhaled a heavy sigh as she stepped into her darkened home, the shadows enveloping her like a comforting embrace. She didn't bother to flip the light switch, preferring the sombre atmosphere to match her mood. Her mind was still reeling from her confession to Damian, and the fear of potentially straining their friendly relationship between them weighed heavily on her heart. Lost in thought, she was startled by the sudden illumination of her living room, her nerves jolting her into a frightened jump. "Surprise!" Raymond and Melissa chimed in unison, their excitement piercing the air. Ruby's moodiness was momentarily forgotten as she rose from her seat, a mix of surprise and delight etched on her face. "What are you two doing here?" she asked, her voice laced with wonder. Melissa explained, "Raymond's on holiday, and he insisted we come over to your place." The unexpected visit was a welcome distraction from her tumultuous thoughts, and Ruby's face broke into a warm smile as she emb

“I think I'm going crazy right now. You mean that isn't Damian?” “It's hard to believe but that is the truth. I'm sure if you dig into Javier Caden,he will be missing” Veronica scoffed as she stood in front of the building Javier used to live in. Nathan was really right. After she did her research,she got to know Damian's old apartment building where she was told he just suddenly disappeared. She wondered if Ruby knows who he really was judging by how they used to be neighbours. “We were really deceived,” she muttered under her breath. During her investigation,she also found that Javier Caden bought an expensive house which was registered under his name and of course,it was the same address with the house Damian lives in. She began to have mixed feelings about the situation. Since Damian doesn't have any memory of his past,she knew she couldn't really threaten him with it. She was stuck in between protecting Damian’s identity even if he was fake because she likes him or to let Math

Ashley's fear was palpable as she confided in Thomas, her voice trembling. "Ever since Mathew's threatening visit, I'm terrified he'll uncover the secrets I've worked so hard to keep hidden. He's determined to expose Damian as a fraud, and I know he'll stop at nothing." Her eyes pleaded with Thomas, who shared her concern. "We need to take action, Thomas. We can't let Mathew destroy me...or Damian. Do you have any idea what we can do to prevent this? We need to destroy him first before he destroys me" Her hands were trembling in fear as she spoke. Thomas began, making sure his words were convincing "The only way Mathew's claims would be believed is through a DNA test. We must make sure he does get his hands on Javier's DNA" Ashley's concerns still lingered, "But what if he officially requests a DNA test? He's relentless when desperate." "He won't dare make an official request. He's seeking leverage, knowing his claims won't be believed. If he goes official, he'll appear desperate an

“Can we go to Ruby's place? I need to see her for a few minutes” he said his voice barely above a whisper and closed his eyes. Ruby was the only one who knew about his condition and since he needed consolation,she was the only one who could do that. Ben looked at him through the rear mirror and knew something bad must have happened to him while in the hospital. He drives him to the hospital every Wednesday though he doesn't know what he was always going to do,but Damian had instructed him never to tell anyone about his hospital visits. Ruby was playing with toys because Raymond wanted her to play with him when her phone rang and she excused herself from Raymond before going to answer the call “Ruby will be back in a moment okay?” She assured him she picked up her phone and was a bit surprised when she saw that it was Damian calling. She wondered what he could want in the middle of the night. “Hello” she said once the call connected “Can you come out for a moment please?” He asked

Ruby wiped her tears and angrily carried her bag. She doesn't care if he meant the harsh words he said to her or was just trying to push her away,his words really hurt her. He could continue to wallow in his own sadness for all she cared about. It was his fault for not seeing that she really wanted to help, not because she wanted to make him hers. As she got to the door,she couldn't bring herself to open the door and leave despite the fact that she was fuming and didn't want to see his face. The soft spot she still had for him was scared that he could harm himself if he was left alone in the house like that. She closed her eyes and exhaled sharply to calm herself down before turning around and going back to the living room where Damian was still sitting. He looked very shocked when he saw her come back and he gave her a questioning gaze but she didn't look at him or try to speak a word to him. Instead she dropped her bag again and went into his kitchen to see if there was any thing s

Ruby spent the remainder of the day at Damian's house. She cleaned the wounds he sustained from punching the mirror in his bathroom out of frustration. She also opened his curtains that were all closed before making the house dark. “It is already getting late already and I don't think I can't go back to the office”Ruby said, placing a hand on her waist as she stared at Damian who looked better than he was earlier. “How about I take you to an arcade just for today? It will help you relieve stress” she suggested but Damian gave her a disapproving look “Arcade? Aren't we too old for that?” he asked and Ruby laughed. “Are you from the 80s? Who told you adults can't go to an arcade? Just come with me,and you will be surprised by how cool it is" Ruby said and winked at him. Now that she has a whole day with Damian without working,she wanted him to have all the fun he could and because she knows it would totally lighten his mood. Ruby pushed open the door to the arcade, the sound of bu
