Even little Raymond was in the garden. Esther was carrying a chocolate cake that had a ‘Happy Birthday’ written on it. Ruby placed a hand on Melissa's shoulder for support. She had thought Damian forgot about her birthday,but there he was organising a surprise birthday for her. She sniffed and wiped her eyes with the tissue Melissa passed to her.“Happy birthday Ruby!!! Surprise!!!” They all said in unison and Ruby couldn't stop herself from crying. She ran towards Damian and hugged him so tightly as she cried from happiness. She locked eyes with him and his emotions passed through his eyes and Ruby could see how much he loved her. She felt it.“I love you so much” she said and claimed his lips.

Blood pressure is 80 over 40. Pulse is 129 and respiration is at 35. He has hypotension and he is hyperventilating”“Let's start with FAST. This way please” the doctor said.Ashley was getting ready to go to bed when her phone rang. She reached out for it and answered the call without checking who the caller was.“This is Ashley Stevenson right?” The person asked and Ashley removed the phone from her ear to check who the caller was but it was an unknown number.“Yes. How can I help you?” Ashley asked and sat up.“Your son,Damian Stevenson was in a car accident. He is currently unconscious in our hospital”“What do you mean by Damian is in the hospital?” Ashley asked with a trembling voice.“He was in an accident. We suspect severe bleeding in his chest an

It has been two days since Damian was in the hospital still unconscious. Ruby was always in the hospital and whenever she went home,she just went to change clothes and go back to the hospital. She cried a lot the first time she went home and saw a car key on her table. The birthday present Damian gave her. When she took the car key to the garage to see which of the cars belonged to her,it was a black Ferrari which melted her heart. The Company’s seat has been vacant for those two days. The news of Damian's accident spread like wildfire all over the internet,so everyone was eager to know the person who would take his position as the acting Chairman. Mathew,called a board meeting. He was very confident in himself that the outcome of the meeting would be in his favour. Even before Damian's accident he had started meeting with shareholders and buying their shares and now he has 40% shares in the Company. He needed 8% more to have the exact amount of shares Damian has in the Company,but
THE HEIR Chapter 87
Mathew took over the Company again since he was elected to be in charge until Damian woke up. Everyone bowed to him in fear as he entered the Company, no one dared to look at him,else they would face his wrath. That was how he has always been before Damian came at all.“Why is this still here?” He asked his Secretary as he entered his office and saw Damian's name plate that was kept in a corner.“We thought since the President is coming back we should leave it here” his Secretary replied in fear.“You are hoping he will come back? Is that it? That I'm just a temporary person? You work for me and yet you don't think I deserve the seat too?” He asked in anger and the poor Secretary shuddered in fear.“I didn't mean it that way sir,I'm very sorry” he quickly apologised before Mathew would decide beating was the best way to calm himself.“I'm in a good mood today,so I'll let it slide but don't ever let that happen again”“Okay sir. Thank you sir”“Now get rid of that,I don't want to eve

"What's wrong with you, Damian? It's me, Ruby!" Ruby exclaimed, her voice laced with shock and disbelief. She had been suspecting that something was off, but she couldn't bring herself to believe it. Damian couldn't have lost his memories... could he?Damian's gaze narrowed, his eyes squinting as if trying to recall something. "Ruby?" he repeated, his voice hesitant. "Who are you, Ruby?"Ruby's heart sank, her eyes welling up with tears. She had been waiting for this moment, the moment he would wake up, but now that he did, he didn't even remember her. The universe was definitely unfair this time.Just then, the door swung open and Ashley and Thomas entered the room. "You're here too?" Ashley asked, when she saw Ruby that was in the room. She was too focused on Damian to notice the shock written all over Ruby's face."Damian, how are you feeling?" Ashley asked, her voice soft and caring as she approached him. "Why don't you lie down for a bit?"Damian's gaze shifted to Ashley, his eye

“Don’t you have a life?” Damian asked Ruby,his voice void of emotions. It has been three days since he woke up and within those three days,Ruby was always around. Even Ashley who claimed to be his Mom always leaves to attend to her own life but why would a Secretary dedicate her own life to attending to him.“What did you say?” Ruby asked as she helped spread his bedspread on the bed.She thought she didn't hear him well or maybe he meant something else.“I asked if you have a life of your own. Why are you always around? It's only a girlfriend that can keep doing this” Ruby looked away,she was unable to meet his gaze. Yes,she was his girlfriend and even if he doesn't remember her,she should still remain by his side until he gets back his memory.“Actually…I,I was..” She spluttered.“You were told to remain here by my mom? Then are you a fool that does what people tell you to do? You are just a Secretary and because you are always here,most of the nurses are beginning to think we are i
THE HEIR Chapter 90
For the rest of Damian's stay at the hospital,Ruby didn't show up to check on him after he had told her to go get a life. A part of him was satisfied that she stopped coming while the other part ached. In denial,he made himself believe that it was just his heart glitching even when he knows that the heart doesn't glitch,because why would his heart ache just because his Secretary obeyed his instructions?First impressions really matter because the sight and attitude of Ruby when he first woke up was part of the reasons he disliked her. Her eyes were swollen like someone who had just lost a loved one. She has a sad aura around her which he doesn't like and the fact that she just hugged him without an introduction of who she was irritated him so much. As he gazed out of the window,the hospital door creaked open and a lady with sleek black hair entered. Her radiant skin and bright eyes made her look absolutely stunning and elegant. She was beautiful,no doubt and Damian couldn't stop him
THE HEIR Chapter 91
Damian slowly opened his eyes and stretched his arms, feeling the softness of the sheets surrounding him. He sat up and looked around the luxurious room, taking in the elegance of the furniture and beautiful paintings hanging on the wall. He nodded in satisfaction as he studied his bedroom.“I definitely have a good taste,” he said and inhaled the fresh air. A gentle knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.“Good morning sir,” a voice called from outside ”Breakfast is ready for you” the voice said and then,he heard the person's footsteps receding.At first he was shocked to hear someone's voice in his house,then he thought again that he might have a maid. He got out of bed and made his way to the door. As he opened it,the smell of freshly brewed tea and warm toast wafted in. He followed the aroma of the food down the staircase, admiring the beauty of his house. In the dining room,a table was set with varieties of breakfast. He stopped on his tracks when he saw that the person wh
