THE HEIR Chapter 175
Javier's grip on Ruby's hand tightened as he gazed lovingly at her fragile form on the hospital bed. Despite the progress she'd made, her face still bore a pale, wan complexion, and the bruises on her body lingered as a haunting reminder of her ordeal. As he tenderly adjusted the covers to ensure her comfort, Ruby's eyes fluttered open, and she weakly shrugged. "Ruby!" Javier exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion as he leaned in closer, his face inches from hers. "Ruby, are you awake? Oh, thank God!" He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes scanning hers for any sign of recognition or pain. Ruby's gaze slowly focused on Javier's face, and a faint smile played on her lips as she whispered, "Javier..." Her voice was barely audible, but it was enough to send a wave of joy and gratitude through his entire being. “I was stupid for not being with my phone at a crucial time. You must have felt alone and scared. I'm sorry” he apologised again. “No. I wasn't scared at all because I knew

Javier's eyes fluttered open to find Ruby's gentle hand wrapped around his arousal, sending a spark of surprise through his body. A warm smile spread across his face. "Good morning," he whispered, his voice husky with sleep. Ruby's soft whisper tickled his ear, "It's hard." She withdrew her hand, but Javier's eyes locked onto hers, filled with mischief. "Big man is extra hard today because you're here," he teased, lifting the duvet to glance at his erection. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "I think we might need your help with this situation." With a playful nudge, he guided Ruby's hand back to his arousal, his fingers intertwining with hers. His day has not fully started but he could tell it was going to be a great day with the way it started. “Then let's do something to it” “We are going to something to yours first. So get ready for a rollercoaster of pleasures” he whispered and made her sit in his laps. Ruby yelped when Javier ripped off her black lace lingerie s

Marco’s concerned expression caught Ruby off guard as he approached her. "Are you certain you're ready to return to work today?" he asked, his voice laced with empathy. Ruby's brow furrowed in confusion. "Why wouldn't I be?" Marcin's eyes softened. "Your boyfriend called us and shared what you've been through. We're all relieved you're safe, but he insisted that I let you take the time to fully recover. He even offered to pay anyone who covers your shift so you can focus on your well-being because the girls are definitely willing to do that for you" “Oh,I see. Thank you so much Marco”Ruby's heart swelled with gratitude, touched by Javier's thoughtful gesture. “But then,he could have told me instead of making me take a trip down here” she muttered to herself as she moved away from Marco As Ruby's colleagues escorted her to the changing room, their whispers turned into a chorus of excitement. "So, the hottest customer we have ever had,the guy we've all been gossiping about is actual

Ruby stepped out of the sleek black car and onto the familiar grounds of the Company, feeling a mix of emotions: nervousness, excitement. She was now back at the Company after working in a bar for months. She has returned to be the Secretary the CEO wanted. The only woman he wanted around was her,his woman. As she smoothed out her crisp white blouse and pencil skirt, the sound of the car door closing behind her echoed through the air.

She kept falling in love with him every second because he was a work of art. "Ready to start your day ma’am?" he asked, offering his arm. “Hey what are you doing?” She whispered. “People are watching,” she reminded him. “So? What if they are watching?” “I can't. No one in the Company knows about us yet” “Well,I guess we will have to announce it now” “But definitely not today. Returning like this is al

As lunch break arrived, Javier's face lit up with anticipation. He smoothed his hair with his fingers and rose from his seat, eager to steal away Ruby with the excuse of going for lunch. But just as he opened the door and was about to invite her out, Mark piped up. "Are you heading to the cafeteria? I've heard great things about the food. Mind if I join you?" Mark asked, his innocence unaware of the underlying tension. Ruby's eyes flicked to Javier, her expression hesitant. “The cafeteria was a place she hadn't set foot in since becoming Javier's secretary "The cafeteria?" Ruby repeated, her tone laced with subtle surprise. Javier's smile faltered, his plans foiled by Mark's untimely suggestion. He silently began to pray that Ruby would turn him down and go out with him instead but his prayers became nothing when Ruby accepted. “Well, it's your first time,so I might as well show you around" “Miss Morris can I see…” he was cut off by Mark who was surprised to hear his voice

Ruby's day began on the wrong foot. She overslept, struggling to adjust to her pre-break wake-up time. To make matters worse, her period arrived unexpectedly, and she burned her breakfast eggs. "OH NO!" she exclaimed, frustration boiling over as she scrapped the charred remains into the trash. But the final blow came when her laptop slipped from her bag as she was getting into her car. The screen shattered on impact, rendering it useless. "Seriously? What's today's agenda - total chaos?" Ruby muttered to herself, exasperated, as she slid behind the wheel and dumped her bag and broken laptop onto the passenger seat. When she arrived at work The air around the company felt tense as everyone kept giving her side eye the moment she stepped in. She knew something was definitely going on but couldn't guess it and Esther who could tell her was nowhere in sight. “Why are they all staring weirdly? What did I do?” She said to herself inwardly "Good morning!" Mark greeted, his friendly ton

Javier burst through the police station doors, his heart racing with dread. He rushed to the front desk, his eyes scanning the room for help. "Please, I need to report a missing person," he urged, struggling to keep his voice steady. The officer behind the desk looked up, expression sympathetic. "Okay, sir, let's get some information. Who's missing?" "Ruby, my girlfriend," Javier replied, his hands shaking as he handed over his phone with the message. "She was supposed to come home from work hours ago, but she never showed up. I found this message, and when I tried to call her, she wasn't answering." The officer's expression turned sceptical as he read the message. "I understand your concern, sir, but this doesn't necessarily mean she's missing." Javier's frustration grew. "I'm telling you, she's in danger! A convict who's been threatening us just broke out of prison, and now Ruby's gone. She has a tracker, and her last location is a place she'd never normally go to. I need you to
