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
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

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?”
THE HEIR Chapter 93
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

*A Message from Javier Stevenson, CEO* To valued employees and colleagues, After careful consideration, I'd like to address the recent speculation surrounding my personal life. Yes, the picture circulating online is genuine. Ruby and I have been in a committed relationship for some time. Her unwavering support, particularly during my recovery from the accident, has been invaluable. Despite my memory loss, she stood by me, tolerating my struggles and nurturing my healing. 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. To those who may still feel uncomfortable or judgmental around Ruby, I urge you to reflect on your actions. Your professionalism and respect are essential.

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

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.

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
