THE HEIR Chapter 88
"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

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

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

Veronica had decided to spend her day with Damian,but when she got there,she couldn't get in because she didn't know his lock combinations which might look weird to Damian if she rang his doorbell, so she called Ashley and it was sent to her almost immediately then she let herself in. She chose not to announce her presence and just surprise him. All the excitement she was feeling died down when she walked in on Damian and Ruby fighting over a bra. Her grip tightened on her bag and she clenched her teeth. She hated the sight of them together and she was scared that he might start getting close to her and fall in love with her again.“What are you doing?” She questioned, trying so hard not to let her anger show,and the two of them looked at her. Her gaze was fixed on Ruby intensely,and she could see the disappointment that flashed in her eyes.“Yes,be disappointed because I'm about to spend the whole day with your man,” Veronica said inwardly with a smug face. “Babe what is going on?”

As she wept, Ruby's mind raced with memories of her time with Damian. The laughter and promises they shared together. As she sat there lost in her grief,she was taken out of her trance by the sudden knock on her window. She raised her head to see who it was. Initially,she was guessing it was the Security man,but her guess was wrong. It was Wendy,her neighbour. She hurriedly wiped her eyes with her hands, hoping Wendy wouldn't see her tears but it was already late because she saw her crying.“Hey Wendy. How are you doing?’ she asked as she opened her door and got out of the car, trying to sound like she was okay.Wendy sighed heavily,then placed her hands on her waist “You have been crying, haven't you? What's going on?” she asked with concern laced in her voice.“Me? Crying” Ruby asked, sniffed and smiled at Wendy “I wasn't. Something must have entered my eyes” She explained as she tried to compose herself. Wendy wasn't the type to be deceived easily,so she knew Ruby was actually cry

Ever since his Father became the President of the Stevensons Group,Nathan has gone back to being the obedient and dedicated child of his Father because he knows that Mathew could get rid of home easily if he tries anything stupid, especially when he knows about his underground bad works. Even though his desires were still there,he buried it in his heart. He kept biting his fingers nervously as he sat in Mathew's office after he was summoned all of a sudden. While Mathew was signing some of the files his Secretary brought, Nathan waited anxiously for whatever his father wanted to tell him.He composed immediately when he saw Matthew signed off the last file.“How has your work been?” Mathew asked Nathan, breaking the silence that was in the room.“Great” he simply said “Is there a problem? I mean why did you call me into your office?” He asked nervously.He cleared his throat “Our dream has finally come true just as we have always wanted, right?”Nathan nodded. It was his father's d

Damian exhaled sharply one last time, composing himself before opening his eyes. With a calm and focused expression, he started the car's engine. "I'm really sorry,I didn't mean to scare you ," he apologised again, his voice steady. Veronica smiled reassuringly and placed her hand on his lap. Damian's eyes widened slightly as he gazed at her, taken aback by the unexpected touch. “What are you doing?” He questioned,with his gaze fixed on his laps.Veronica chuckled softly “Nothing. I've just missed us and probably set the atmosphere for tonight”“Oh … I see. But can you remove it for now? I'm a little bit distracted” Damian requested. Her touch felt weird and so uncomfortable for him. It felt like it was something illegal. Veronica's heart dropped in disappointment,but she removed her hands anyway. She finally got the chance to do the things she had wanted to do with him for a long time,but he was pushing her away like he knew they were never together. She sighed deeply “I will mak
