THE HEIR Chapter 152
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
THE HEIR Chapter 154
Ruby had never felt restless like she was feeling currently. Damian had stayed in his room all day and she kept wondering what was going on in his head. Admitting her relationship with him when he asked could have messed his brain up because he would be so confused of who he really was. Damian on the other hand laid in his bed, hoping what he was guessing was actually not true. He is starting to like Ruby,but he couldn't imagine her being his first love and he had been lied to, that it was Veronica. He wouldn't be able to forgive such if that was the case. He hated that there was no sincere person around him to tell him the truth. Then he remembered the bra he found in his Study when he just got back home. It looked small for Veronica,but now that he was thinking about it,it looked like something that would fit Ruby, including the fact that she tried to take it away from him. Damian's eyes narrowed as he thought about the bra, his mind racing with possibilities. He threw off the co

The DNA Ashley did on her end proved that Javier Caden was indeed her son which was so confusing to her,so she went back to the Doctor who delivered her baby to question him. Since her own son was dead,and the stranger she happened to meet just because he was forcefully accused was proved to also be her son. The only place she could think about getting her answers from was the hospital she delivered her baby in. Even after giving birth,the hospital served as the hospital for her family so the Doctors and the nurses were so familiar with her. “Is Professor Sean in?” She asked his assistant. “Yes he is,” the assistant replied with a smile. “Since you don't have an appointment with him,I'll just go in briefly and tell him you are here ma’am” the assistant said politely and both Ashley and Thomas nodded. After a few minutes the Assistant came back with a broad smile on her face. “The professor said you can come in. In fact he is glad to see you” “Of course he is” Ashley said and sm

“What's the situation outside?" Mathew asked Nathan, who visited him in his cell. Nathan's voice was barely audible, his words laced with despair. "It's terrible. The world has turned against you, Father. Your involvement in Damian's murder and the attempted murder of Javier is all over the news." Mathew's expression became calculative. "But they have no concrete evidence linking me to the attempted murder. I'll be fine. What I need now is for you to arrange a visit from Mr. Louis. I need his connections to get me out of this mess." Nathan's expression was grim. "I doubt Mr. Louis will even consider visiting you. Ashley informed the board that you no longer have their secrets in your hand and they're planning to vote you out as Vice President." Mathew's anger erupted, his fist slamming onto the table. "What? They're betraying me before I've even been sentenced? I won't go down without a fight." Nathan shook his head and silently hoped that he wouldn't be arrested as an accomplice

Ruby's wrists were bound behind her back, and she struggled to free herself, but the restraints were too tight. As she looked up, Veronica's giggle sent a chill down her spine. "Finally awake, are we?" Veronica sneered, bending down to taunt them. "I was starting to think you two were going to sleep the day away when you refused to wake up last night.I hate doing this in broad daylight, but you've left me no choice." Damian's eyes blazed with anger as he sat up, his teeth gritted. "What the hell is going on, Veronica? Have you lost your mind?" Veronica's expression turned icy. "Too soon to be angry, sweetheart. You have no idea how much it hurts to lose to someone like her... again and again." Her voice rose to a yell. "You left me for her, Damian! Twice!" Ruby hastily intervened, fearing for her life. "Wait, Veronica, we're not together! Damian and I, we're not a couple." Veronica's gaze snapped to Ruby, her eyes flashing with hatred. "Shut up! I don't want to hear your lies

"Open your eyes, Damian!" Ruby urged, her voice laced with desperation as the water level began to recede. She slapped his cheeks gently but firmly, trying to get him conscious. "Hey, wake up! Please, open your eyes!" When he didn't respond, Ruby's panic intensified. She began administering CPR, her hands pressing down on his chest in a rhythmic motion. Tears welled up in her eyes as she begged him to wake up. "Please, Damian! Open your eyes, please!" she cried out, her voice cracking with emotion. The thought of losing him like that was unbearable, and Ruby couldn't imagine it. They haven't even settled the issue she has with him,so why would he die? She continued CPR. The Detective, frustrated and desperate, rushed outside to confront Nathan. "How do we open the water tank?" he demanded, but Nathan played dumb. "Water tank? What are you talking about?" Nathan feigned ignorance, but the Detective wasn't having it so he punched Nathan hard on his face. Just as the Detective was ab
