“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

Ashley's gaze was fixed on Ruby as she walked closer to them. She has a frown that indicates she doesn't like what she has seen.“I asked you what you were doing?” She asked again,her tone firm.“She is just fixing my tie Ashley. You shouldn't read into it” Damian intervened before Ruby could talk. Ashley narrowed her eyes,her gaze still lingering on Ruby,“I'm not trying to be rude to her,but I'll appreciate it if you do your tie yourself. There was once a rumour about you two,I don't want to hear another one. Anyone could have seen you two and misinterpreted the situation”“I'm sorry ma’am” Ruby said, daring not to look at Ashley’s face. Ashley's expression softened slightly and she turned to Damian.“Why are you here by the way?”“Because I'm joining the meeting. I need to be updated about the plans for the 40th anniversary. I just came to check in you first”“Well,we are going for the meeting too” Damian said and began to walk towards the elevator.—--“We need to come up wit
