THE HEIR Chapter 48
Veronica was about to slide into the driver's seat when her phone buzzed in her bag, alerting her to an incoming message. She paused, her hand on the door handle, and pulled out her phone to check the content of the message. As she gazed at the screen, her eyes widened in shock and anger. It was a picture of Damian in front of his house with a woman whose face wasn't visible to the camera. Veronica's eyes flashed with fury as she exclaimed, "I want her fucking face! damn it!" Her anger boiled over, and she lashed out, kicking the tire of her car out of anger.—--------“Do you want me to make you a quick dinner?”Damian asked Ruby when they were in his house.“No,I'm fine,” she smiled and removed all the disguise Damian had gotten her earlier.“Are you sure?”“I can't just stop thinking about how a fine was all the punishment he got. If I had put the the floor lamp on my room, then he will be having my nudes!”“The good thing is he doesn't. I don't want you to think about this anymore,

When Rita woke up,she had delayed opening her eyes because she thought Damian was still in bed. Though he was her boyfriend,she still felt so shy to look at him after spending a passionate night with him. She stretched out her hand to see if he was still in bed,but when she couldn't reach him,she guessed he was no longer in bed so she opened her eyes.She smiled to herself when she remembered how he made her feel loved and wanted. She covered her face in excitement and flung her legs in the air. She got out of bed hurriedly,she went to shower before Damian would come back. It was after showering that she realised that she wasn't with any clothes to wear to the office. “I'll just go home first” she said to herself and wore her outfit from yesterday back. She checked the time on her phone and it was 7am. She tied her hair into a ponytail before she left the room with her things. As she got out of the room,she got a whiff of the aroma of chicken and her stomach rumbled. “Is he…”

“Who I'm I speaking with please?” Ruby asked when her desk phone rang.“This is Ashley Stevenson. Damian's mom” Ruby jumped on her feet immediately she heard it was Ashley and cleared her throat.“Mr Stevenson is currently in a meeting ma’am. Is there a message you want to drop for him?” She asked politely.“No,I didn't call because of him. I called because I wanted to speak with you”“Me?” Ruby became nervous as she kept wondering what Ashley wanted to discuss with her. She guessed Ashley had found out about their relationship,so she began to rehearse her speech and prepared herself for whatever rude things Ashley might say to her.“I want you to come over to my place this Saturday. There is something I'd like to discuss with you. And of course it should be between us”“This Saturday?” Ruby asked because she already had a date with Damian and she would have to come up with an excuse for him.“You don't have time? Then come on Friday after work”“Oh,that will be better ma..”“See yo
THE HEIR Chapter 51
Around 10 am,Damian came over to Ruby's house to pick her up for their movie date,not after he made sure that whoever was spying on him lost track of him already. As he waited for her to come out,he remembered Mark,the pervert who was spying on Ruby and his blood boiled. “That bastard!” He muttered under his breath. The police only fined Mark,so Damian took matters in his own hands because he wasn't satisfied with the punishment given to him. With his connection,he got him fired from the Company he worked for and also put out his pictures and his immoral behaviour all over the internet through an anonymous account,so everyone already knows him as a pervert.“Why are you doing this to me? You are just her boss and I'm sure you are just like me! You are only pretending!” Mark had yelled at Damian when he saw how Damian was ready to spoil his life.“You must have been doing this for so long,but unfortunately for you,you ran into me. You messed with the wrong person. And not everyone

Esther kept staring at the two of them as she sipped her coffee, making a loud sound. She just couldn't believe what she had seen and kept hoping it was all a dream. Ruby,on the other hand,was trying so hard not to look at her while Damian just kept holding Ruby's hand like a lover boy fighting for his love.“So you two are dating?” Esther asked the question she had been asking them ever since they got to the cafe. “Yes,” the two of them said in unison.“What? When? Why? How?” Esther blurted out.“I fell in love with her first ever since I laid my eyes on her,I knew she was the woman for me”Damian said and looked at Ruby,then smiled. “Aww” Ruby said and blushed.“Is it a problem?” Damian asked Esther.“Yes it is! We all saw how your mom made a fuss when we all thought you slept over at her place. I'm worried about you as a good friend. You know that right?”.“I know and that is why we clicked easily. You are a good person. But what can I do when I fall in love?”“You could have avo

Veronica gazed intensely at the picture of Damian and the unknown woman that Ashley had sent her, but she wasn't convinced. She felt that Ashley was missing something. She called her secretary through the intercom, and within a minute, her secretary was in her office. "Can you show me the picture of Mr. Stevenson with his unknown girlfriend that was trending on their company website?" she asked. "It's been taken down, but fortunately, I saved it," her secretary replied. "You saved it? Why?" Veronica asked, leaning forward on her desk, her eyes fixed intently on her secretary. "Because I knew you would ask for it one day," her secretary replied, and Veronica nodded in approval. She had known her secretary long enough to know that she would anticipate her requests, and whenever she couldn't fulfil them in the past, Veronica would become upset. "Good thinking," she said, stretching out her hand. "Let me see." She took her secretary's phone and compared the pictures. The difference w

Ruby had spent the whole weekend at Damian's place. She slept in his room and of course the two of them made love every chance they got.“Should I go over to his place today?” Ruby asked herself as she couldn't forget the loving moments they shared together How she woke up on Sunday in his shirt to make him breakfast. Damian had gone to the kitchen to help her,but in the end he became a total distraction because he couldn't keep his hands to himself. He kept caressing and kissing her which Ruby also loved so much. She giggled loudly as she remembered everything and an adorable pink crept on her cheeks as she was lost in her thoughts reminiscing everything that happened between them during the weekend. She began to search her desk for anything that could give her a reason to go inside his office. She smiled broadly when she saw a document she should have submitted to him last week and sprang out of her seat. Her heart raced in anticipation as she walked towards his office. She

The eviction notice hanging on her door caught Ruby's attention in the morning when she was about to go for work. She picked up the paper and saw that she had a month to move out.“Is she crazy? What the hell is this?” Ruby asked herself and angrily,she tore the paper. She was distracted by the sound of the landlady clearing her throat and obviously trying to avoid her.“Good thing you came just in time. What do you mean by having a month to leave?”“I'm very sorry Ruby,but that is what the new owner of the building wants. She wants you especially to be out of her building. I don't know what is going on between you two, but there's nothing I can do” the landlady said and Ruby wondered who her enemy was. But she just couldn't figure it out.“Who is the new owner? Give me her phone number now” she demanded. Suddenly,a car screeched to a halt in front of her, splashing water on her and she gasped as she looked at her soaked outfit. The driver's door swung open and Veronica got out of i

Our bond has grown stronger with each passing day. I proudly affirm my love for Ruby, and I won't apologize for it. However, I do regret keeping our relationship private for so long.

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

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.

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

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 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
