THE HEIR Chapter 9
While getting ready to leave the office, Damian's phone rang in his chest pocket. It was Thomas calling him. Damian couldn't help but wonder why he was calling. “Good evening Thomas” he said when the call was connected. “Good evening Mr Stevenson. If I may ask,are you still in the office?” “Yes,why? Is everything fine?” He asked with concern “So tomorrow is Mrs Ashley's birthday and I think it would be a good idea to get her a birthday gift. The real Damian gets her one every year. This year shouldn't be an exemption, don't you think?” “Oh! I didn't even know her birthday is tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions on what she would like?” “I'll leave you to decide that. Goodnight sir” he said and ended the call, leaving Damian to think on his own. Damian grabbed his things and left the office. “See you tomorrow” He said to Ruby who was expecting him to give her some rude attitude. He didn't even wait for her reply and just left. “Drive to any Chanel store around” he instructed t

"Why are you here?” He asked curiously as he got out of his car. “I called Thomas, and I was told you weren't at home yet, so I decided to wait for you out here”, Ruby said, and walked closer to him. “That still doesn't answer my question”, he folded his arms across his chest and waited for her to speak. “When I became your Assistant, I was told to assist you in areas you find difficulty and to also put you through, but I don't think there will ever be a chance for me to work properly if I don't address this particular issue” She paused briefly to be sure he was still with her. “You are being too harsh on me that your sight scares me. I understand that our first meeting wasn't so great, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable or dumb!” “Okay….?”. “It is either you stop being harsh on me or I quit! You don't even try to see the good side of me. All you do is to complain and vent. Now Mr Stevenson, if you really want me to remain your Assistant, I would advise you to do something about

"You got this for me?" Ashley asked, feeling very emotional."Do you like it? Happy birthday, Ashley. I'm so grateful for meeting someone as good as you". Damian hugged and consoled her."Thank you, Damian. I really wasn't expecting anything from you. How did you know about my birthday?""Well, Thanks to Thomas. I would have gotten something better if it wasn't last minute" he said smiled at her."Something better? This is good enough" she said and admired the bag"Now, you should get going to work, okay? We can have a mini-party with Thomas later."--------------Memories of the previous night flooded his memory when he saw Ruby in the office. Talking to Ashley about Mathew's threat made him totally forget about Ruby's proposal to him. Not like he really needed to think before making a decision, he already knew what he wanted.“Good morning Mr Stevenson” Ruby greeted him politely, yet the coldness in her voice couldn't be missed.“Good morning. What do I have on my schedule today?” He

Damian was enjoying his warm bath in his bathtub,when a man wearing black hoodie and trousers carefully entered, obviously trying not to make any sound. He stood In front of Damian's Bathtub in a very creepy way,and when Damian finally sensed that there was someone else in the bathroom with him,he flung his eyes open. “Who the fuck are you?” He yelled and tried to stand up but the man overpowered him before he could. He covered his mouth to prevent him from shouting,and before Damian could grasp what was going on,he felt something cold on his neck and then there was blood. The man then moved away from him while Damian held his neck in pain and fought for his life. The man's phone rang and he took it out from his back pocket. “Don't worry Mr Mathew,I'm almost done with him” he said and the call ended. “Please…..I….d.don’t want..t..to die” Damian pleaded in pain as tears fell from his eyes. The hotel's phone rang in the room and the man left the bathroom to answer the call,then he

“Hey intern!” The office manager for Research and development in Damian's Company called out,and a female intern rushed to him. “Yes sir” “You said you studied business, right?” “Yes,” The intern replied. “Good. Why don't you do this one thing for me?My son has no time to do assignments since he is doing some part time jobs” he said and brought out a big book. “Sir,I have to send the ….” “Send whatever you want to send and do the assignment too” the manager interrupted her “Wait,are you complaining? If you are complaining about this little task I gave you,then how will you deal with bigger tasks when you are no longer an intern? Huh?You should be grateful I'm teaching you how to multitask!” he yelled at her and she flinched “You this little bitch” he said,his voice barely above a whisper. “I'm sorry sir.

“If making a decision is hard for you,do you want me to give you some time?” Mathew asked and rested his back on his seat. “Actually… I'll” Ruby was interrupted by the loud bang made by the door. They all turned their heads towards the door and Damian stormed in. Ruby eyes locked with his immediately when he entered. He looked away from Ruby and glared at Mathew. “How dare you call my secretary into your office? What business do you have with her,huh?” “Oh,relax Mr President,we were just having fun here” Mathew smirked. “You can do whatever you want but don't you ever call her again. You think you can get her on your side? You think you can use her to spy on me? Dream on, okay? Dream. Unfortunately for you,I don't hire betrayals and greedy people like you. Mess with her again and I'll make sure to gift you something you will never forget!”he said angrily. “Well, looks like we are done here Miss Ruby. I don't want your boss to cause a huge scene. I hope you consider what I said” Ma

For a moment, everyone in the restaurant thought the guy had fainted, because the blow sent him flying and falling on tables behind him before his body fell to the ground, making a loud thud. “I thought I died. Oh my goodness!” the guy groaned and everyone except Damian sighed in relief. As much as Ruby was satisfied that he got what he deserved,she couldn't imagine what would happen if the man had died. Damian's face would be all over the internet. “Here is my email address,you can give it to your manager” Damian wrote down his email address and handed it over to a waiter nearby “Round up the cost of damages and send it to me. I'll wire the money immediately” he said “and call the police, I'll like to logde a complaint. This pervert was harassing my Secretary” “You are just a Secretary at the end of the day, didn't you say you were here with your boyfriend?” The pervert said and smirked. Ruby looked away immediately,as she felt Damian’s gaze on her. She didn't call Damian her boyfr

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.

"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.

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
