THE HEIR Chapter 128
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

Damian's eyes flew open as he felt an unfamiliar leg brush against his. He pushed it away, but it persisted, returning to its original position. As his mind cleared, he realised he wasn't alone in his house. Panic set in as he turned to face t6 I've the owner of the mysterious leg. His eyes widened in shock when he saw that it was Ruby lying beside him. Confusion and fear intensified as he scanned his surroundings, realising he was in an unfamiliar room, not his own home. He shook Ruby awake, his voice urgent and low. At first, she didn't stir, but he persisted, shaking her again. Finally, she sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "What is it?" she asked, her voice groggy. Damian's eyes locked onto hers, his expression a mix of fear and confusion. "Where are we?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "This isn't my house.” “This isn't your house?” She asked him and looked around “Oh! This is my house”. She said when she recognised the living room. “How did we get here?” Sh

Damian was so embarrassed of himself as he gazed at his reflection in Ruby's bathroom mirror, the crayon marks still on his face. He couldn't believe his behaviour the night before, how he had begged Raymond to paint his own perfect face after making a fool out of himself with Ruby all night in the streets of New York "I must have looked like a complete fool," he muttered, his frustration evident and began to wash his face with a lot of efforts as of it would wash his shame away too. Ben arrived just in time after he came out of the bathroom and despite Melissa's attempts to persuade him to stay for breakfast,Damian was too ashamed to stay there for another minute. He made a quick exit, leaving Ruby to explain his behaviour to Melissa. "He's definitely ashamed of himself right now," Ruby said, her voice laced with understanding as she began to eat. Melissa's inquiring gaze told Ruby she wanted answers in how they ended up that way “We'll talk about it later," Ruby said dismis
