THE HEIR Chapter 146
It has been a week since Ruby moved into Damian's house,a week since Mathew sent Damian's toothbrush to a Genetic Testing centre to see if it would match with his DNA.And a week since Veronica had gone over to Ashley's house to keep her on her toes. "Yesterday, I took stock of our groceries and realised we're running low," Damian said, looking up from his desk as Ruby entered with some files. “We both agreed not to bring home affairs to work sir” Ruby replied in the typical manner she had been talking to him for the past one week. Damian leaned forward, his expression serious. "We're alone here, Ruby, so let's forget the formalities for now. I was thinking we could leave early today and go grocery shopping together." Ruby hesitated, attempting to deflect the suggestion. "Really, sir, there's no need for you to trouble yourself. Ben and I can handle it." "Ben?" Damian asked, leaning back in his chair. "He doesn't even live with us, so why burden him with it?" He attempted to sound
THE HEIR Chapter 147
All through the night,Ruby became grumpy and as much as she tried to be back to her normal self with the way Damian kept initiating conversations with her,she just couldn't and she hated that she felt that way. When they were together,she wasn't even this jealous,so why was she feeling that way when she just found out he was a total asshole that doesn't even deserve her at all,just because he was making a cashier grinning from ear to ear. The sudden sounds of Damian trying to forcefully unlock the door of his bedroom took her out of her thoughts and she jumped out of bed to put on something decent after guessing he was sleepwalking again. She grabbed the key of his bedroom from her locker and went out to unlock Damian's. As Ruby approached Damian’s room,she inserted the key into the lock and turned it, then gently pushed the door open. "Damian, wake up”she said softly, trying to rouse him from his sleepwalking trance. But he didn't respond. Instead, he stepped forward, his eyes s

Ashley's hands trembled as she held her coffee cup, her eyes fixed on the unexpected email from the Company. The mention of an announcement sent a chill down her spine, and her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. Has Mathew somehow obtained Damian's DNA without his consent? Was he planning to expose the truth to the public? Panic set in as she frantically tried calling Damian, but he didn't answer. She quickly dialled Thomas's number, her voice laced with urgency. "Thomas, I need you to come pick me up right away. Something's going on at the Company, and I have a bad feeling about it. We need to be there right now” Thomas's calm tone provided a brief respite from her anxiety. "What's wrong, ma’am? What's happening?" Ashley took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "I don't know, but I just got an email about an announcement, and I think it might have something to do with Damian's DNA. Mathew might be trying to reveal the truth. I need to get to the Company” Thomas's respo

Mathew's voice trembled with shock as he grasped the microphone, his words echoing through the room. "How is this possible? You're telling me he is not a fake?" He stumbled, his mind reeling from the revelation. Reporters closed in, sensing a scandal. "But sir, didn't you claim he was a fake?" one asked, thrusting a microphone in Mathew's face. Mathew's eyes darted wildly, searching for an escape. "I...I don't know what to say. This can't be right!" Another reporter chimed in, "Then who was the person who died that day? Was it a cover-up?" “Why do you sound like you don't want your nephew to be alive?” As the questions intensified, Mathew's Secretary and Nathan swiftly intervened, shielding him from the chaos. "That's enough for today, clearly ,the Vice President made a mistake” Nathan firmly stated, ushering Mathew toward the elevator. As they pushed through the throng of reporters, Mathew's face contorted in a mixture of shock, confusion, and embarrassment. The elevator doors f

The rest of the day at work felt weird to Ruby and other employees. Damian, with other directors which includes both Mathew and Nathan, had been in the conference room for about 2 hours, discussing Mathew’s uncalled for action. Ruby had always thought Mathew was the kind of person who would be smart with whatever moves he was about to take,but this time,he proved her otherwise. How could he think Damian was a fraud and not even check if his evidence was right before presenting it to the world? After about another thirty minutes,the meeting finally came to an end and Damian went straight to his office. He looked so pale and tired when he got back and it made Ruby so worried for him, though she hated that she felt that way for him. But then,it was understandable. He had just watched the video of himself bleeding without anyone helping him. Anyone who is in his shoes would definitely feel sick after. “Are you okay?” She asked before he could enter his office. “Yes,I am” Damian gl

Surprisingly for Ruby,Damian didn't sleepwalk at all that night and when she went into his room to check if he was fine,he was cuddling his pillow while he was asleep,so she went back to her room to have a good sleep too. The next morning,the telephone in Ruby's room which has never rang before rang, waking her up from her sleep. It was 7 am and since it was Saturday,she wasn't ready to wake up until 7:30 - 8 am,but she had to wake up now. “Can you make me coffee and bring it to my room?” Damian said to her like a request,but he was actually instructing and then the call ended before she could reply Ruby sighed heavily as she prepared herself physically and mentally to start her day.Ruby rubbed the sleep from her eyes, wondering who had given Damian the idea that she was his personal coffee servant. She trudged to the kitchen, still in her pyjamas, and began brewing a fresh pot of coffee. As she waited for it to drip, she couldn't help but think about how Damian's behaviour had c

As Damian pulled into the driveway, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. The long drive had cleared his head,just like he wanted it to. But as he stepped out of the car, his gaze fell upon a scene that made his heart skip a beat. Ruby was standing outside, laughing. At first,he only saw her,but when he moved closer towards her direction,she saw that there was also another person with her,a guy and they were both chatting. He couldn't see the guy's face clearly so he doesn't know if he knows the person or not. Damian's instincts kicked in, and a surge of jealousy coursed through his veins. Who was this guy, and why was Ruby smiling at him like that? He felt a pang of possessiveness, and his mind raced with questions. Instead of approaching them like his body wanted to, Damian retreated into the house, trying to calm himself down. As he went into the house,he guessed the guy was Jeremy, because he was the only guy he knows Ruby talks with apart from him. “How can she not see that gu

Damian's eyes widened as he struggled to process the memories. If what he had been remembering were his old memories does it mean most of the things he thought he knew were fake? Was his memory tampered with? He had a lot of questions but he knew no one was going to tell him the truth, especially when he had been deceived to that extent. Ruby's voice brought him back to reality. “Damian, what's wrong?" she asked, concern etched on her face. He tried to speak, but the words got stuck in his throat. "I...I need to go," he stammered, turning away from her. But Ruby's hand on his arm stopped him. "Wait, Damian. What's going on?" He shook his head, trying to clear the air. "I just...I need some time to think." Ruby's eyes searched his face, but she didn't push him further. "Okay, I'll leave you alone. But I'm always here whenever you want to open up." She was actually very worried because one moment,he was fine and another moment,he looked like he encountered a ghost. "Ruby?" Damian
