THE HEIR Chapter 134
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

Damian sat on his bed and kept staring into space. It felt like the embarrassing memory of the previous night was hunting him because he kept getting reminded of how embarrassing he was at every moment and to think he slept on the same duvet with Ruby.“I’m going to die if I become a meme” he said because he believed anyone could have videod him last night. He stood up shamefully to pick up his phone to message her and thank her for at least not letting him sleep on the street after claiming to be poor.He began to pace around the bedroom as he searched for her name to message her. His eyes widened in shock when he found her name. He had messaged her in the middle of night when he wasn't sober.“I miss you so much you peice of sh…” then the message ended. He screamed in horror and threw his phone away.“What the hell? Did..did I really send that? When?” He asked as he tried to remember but nothing was coming to his head. The only information imhe got from his phone was the time he s

Mathew kept whistling as he strolled to his desk after coming back from a meeting. Then he remembered he needed to make an urgent call on one of his secret phones so he went to his locker and unlocked it. At first,he didn't notice the ledger that was gone and just proceeded to make his call. It was after the call and he was about to put the phone back to its position that he suspected something was wrong. There was a USB placed on one of the bundles of cash which wasn't there before, meaning that someone had gone through his safe. His heart raced in doubt as he began to inspect to figure out what was wrong. His shoulders dropped when he noticed it was the ledger “My ledger…. it's gone” he muttered to himself in disbelief. No one knew the lock combinations to his safe so how did someone manage to steal his ledger? His head was totally blank and there was no one he could suspect. “Shit!” He yelled in anger and began to hit the wall in frustration. His outburst caught the attention
THE HEIR Chapter 138
Damian felt a surge of relief when Ruby asked about the amount he was willing to pay her, Yes! He was able to convince her to agree with him, just that they will have to set up some rules so that things wouldn't go wrong between them. That was what Damian thought but for Ruby,she was hundred percent sure that agreeing to live with him doesn't mean she would lose her guard and continue to blindly fall in love with him. Despite her lingering feelings for Damian, Ruby had mentally checked out of the relationship. She had been deceived and lied to in her past relationships which she didn't forgive and Damian wasn't going to be an exception. For her, Damian had transitioned from a lover to merely her boss, who she is just helping. “We would talk about the details of your service and moving arrangements when I’ve filled my mom with the situation” Ruby nodded and replied “No problem sir. I'll get back to my desk now” “Sure you can" Damian said and watched her head towards the door. Thou

Ashley's eyes widened in shock, her expectations shattered by Damian's confession. She struggled to find her voice, her thoughts whirling with disbelief. "How long have you been dealing with panic attacks?" she asked finally, her tone measured and calm. Damian's eyes locked onto hers, "Since I left the hospital. But I have been working on it. I've been receiving treatment and actively working on my mental health” “I'm really out of words right now. Why didn't you tell me in time" “I guess I didn't want to disappoint you anymore. Handling my memory loss is already a lot for you so I thought I could handle this myself” “No,it has never been a lot for me” Ashley said and reached out to hold his hands “It wasn't your fault that that asshole did this to you and it's my duty as your mom to watch out for you" Damian nodded “The last time I went to see my doctor,he wanted me to get hospitalised because it is dangerous for someone who sleepwalks to live alone and that is why I'm here"

Damian spent the remainder of the night writing out a set of rules he believed were essential for his living arrangement with Ruby. He eagerly anticipated presenting them to her the next day at work. The next morning, Damian woke up to find himself sprawled out on the floor at the entrance of the room he had slept in. He let out a frustrated sigh as he stood up from the floor and tried opening the door, then he realised the door was locked from the outside, a clever move by Ashley to make sure he doesn't leave the room when sleepwalking. With a sluggish pace, Damian dragged himself to the bed and reached for his phone to call Ashley. After a few minutes, the door was unlocked by a maid. "Thanks," Damian muttered as he made his way out of the bedroom. As he headed downstairs, he quickly dialled Ben's number, requesting a prompt pickup. "Come over to my mom's place as soon as possible" Damian said, his voice laced with urgency. "I need to go to my place first and change,” he said a

All eyes in the Company's lobby were fixed on Ruby immediately they got out of the elevator as Damian escorted her out of the company, her feigned distress seemingly convincing. However, her intention was merely to prompt Nathan to leave,but before she could clarify the situation to Damian, he was already ushering her out with a flurry of concerned questions, taking on the role of a Doctor. It wasn't until they both settled into the waiting car at the entrance that Ruby finally exhaled a sigh of relief. "Take us to the nearest hospital, now!" Damian urged Ben, his voice laced with urgency. But Ruby quickly intervened, "No, don't bother." Damian's confusion was palpable as he turned to her, his eyes wide with disbelief. "What do you mean? You're in pain, and you don't want to go to the hospital?" Ruby's embarrassment was evident as she avoided eye contact. "I'm not in pain, actually." Damian's expression changed from concern to confusion. "Wait, what? Then what was all that about?
