THE HEIR Chapter 94
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
THE HEIR Chapter 96
Damian slept in his study because it was the only place in the house that Veronica couldn't enter without his authorization. He woke up, stretched, and groaned. He knew Veronica would be mad at him for not coming back to the bedroom after leaving the way he did, giving the excuse of work. So, he went to apologise, but she was gone. The bed was empty, and her things were missing. He figured she had left the house. He ran his fingers through his dishevelled hair, letting out a deep sigh. “I will just need to come up with a good apology” he muttered to himself as he walked towards the bed. His Study wasn't very comfortable for him and so he didn't get a good sleep and since he had nothing to do,he decided to sleep again. Veronica on the other hand woke up angry and left the house in anger. She felt ashamed of herself. She used to boast that no man could resist her,but Damian actually resisted her in the middle of sex. A huge slap on her face. “Ruby!Ruby!!Ruby!!” She yelled inside her

“I think you just need some time alone to figure everything out,” Ashley said, breaking the silence between them. “How about you tell her you need some time alone to be the good boyfriend she deserves?” She suggested and Damian slowly removed his palms that were covering his face. “Can I?And she is not going to feel bad?" “Of course you can. Since you are not breaking up with her,I'm sure she will understand and trust me,I'll speak with her also” Ruby scoffed after hearing the solution Ashley proposed to his problem. She should have known that she will never back out of it just like that. “What are you doing there?” Thomas questioned as she tried to continue eavesdropping and she straightened up immediately. “I was going to enter the Kitchen,but I guess they are having a private conversation,” she said and forced a smile as she moved away from the Kitchen’s entrance. Damian looked better and relaxed when he came out of the kitchen and it made her feel at peace. A smile appeare

His touch sent shivers down her spine and she felt butterflies in her tummy. It has been a long time since she felt his touch on her skin so it made her feel hot. But the annoyed look on Damian's face told her she had limited time to enjoy the moment else,he would let her go and she would crash her head on the floor. “Thank you sir” she said,her voice barely above a whisper as she gained her balance. “Now leave my house” Damian instructed coldly and without arguing with him,she hurried towards the door. Damian released the breath he didn't know he had been holding. Something in him pushed him to help her when he saw her trip and before he knew what was going on,he was already holding her. Being so close to her made his heart race in excitement,but he was a good actor to not let it show. He placed a hand on his chest when Ruby was gone, asking himself if something was wrong with him. “I need to see a Doctor as soon as possible because something is definitely wrong with me,” he said
THE HEIR Chapter 99
“Mr Damian is back?” “Didn't we hear that Mathew has more shares than he does?” “No wonder Ruby came in today. She knows her boss is about to take over" “What the hell is going on?” The employees whispered among themselves as that paved the way for them. They were all curious to know what was going on but no one gave them the answers they wanted. Ruby smoothed her outfit, joining Damian and Ashley in the executive elevator. She suppressed the urge to compliment Damian, knowing he might respond with an arrogant and unappreciative reply like "I know I look good." Ashley's laughter filled the elevator, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I can't wait to see Mathew's face,his anger will definitely make my day!" Damian matched her energy, his voice laced with determination. "Let's get him out of my seat." Ashley gazed at him, intrigued by the change in his demeanour. As the elevator opened on the eighth floor, they stepped out, their confident strides leading them to the confere

Mathew's face was red with rage as he stormed into his office, his calm facade shattered. He unleashed his fury, by throwing everything in his sight. Damian had granted him a few hours to gather his belongings,which made him more angry. His ego was bruised and he felt so embarrassed. "I'll kill you all! Every last one of you!" he yelled. His Secretary was wise enough to stay out of vicinity. He kept a safe distance, knowing that Mathew always assaulted him as a way to calm himself. Nathan knew his father would be so angry after what had happened,so he decided to join him and move his things. He entered the office with a mix of pity and concealed glee. He was happy to see his father’s downfall because he was the one who stood in his way and took the position he also wanted. He was sure he would have ended Damian if he was the one, unlike his father who did a messy job. "I knew that man was a fool, Father," Nathan said, his voice laced with feigned sympathy. "You trusted him, and no
THE HEIR Chapter 101
Damian spent the rest of the day walking around and admiring the Company while Ruby was rooted to her desk, drafting his schedules and updating herself with things they had missed while they were away. When it was 7 pm, he was the first to leave the office and just passed by Ruby without even bidding her goodbye. “Your life must be so easy right now” Ruby said and sighed as she watched him leave. The excitement in Damian died down when he got to his car that was waiting for him,and saw that Veronica was already waiting for him too beside it. “Hey babe” she smiled broadly at him when she saw him and walked closer to him. Damian had thought Ashley had told her about giving him space but judging by how she was right in front of him,he knew it was either Ashley didn't tell her or she just didn't listen. And now,he would end up spending his night with her and trying to figure out his feelings. “Hi” he said and forced a smile, pulling her in for a hug which made Veronica smile. “I di

*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. If you cannot maintain a positive work environment, I suggest considering resignation or facing termination. I value fairness, equality, and mutual respect within our organizatio

"OH NO!" she exclaimed, frustration boiling over as she scrapped the charred remains into the trash. But the final blow came when her laptop slipped from her bag as she was getting into her car. The screen shattered on impact, rendering it useless. "Seriously? What's today's agenda - total chaos?" Ruby muttered to herself, exasperated, as she slid behind the wheel and dumped her bag and broken laptop onto the passenger seat. When she arrived at work The air around the company felt tense as everyone kept giving her side eye the moment she stepped in. She knew something was definitely going on but couldn't guess it and Esther who could tell her was nowhere in sight. “Why are they all staring weirdly?

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. As she smoothed out her crisp white blouse and pencil skirt, the sound of the car door closing behind her echoed through the air. Javier emerged, his tall frame and chiseled features exuding confidence and authority. He flashed her a warm smile, and Ruby's heart skipped a beat. She kept falling in love with him every second because he was a work of art. "Ready to start your day ma’am?" he asked, offering his arm. “Hey what are you doing?” She whispered. “People are watching,” she reminded him. “So? What if they are watching?” “I can't. No one in the Company knows about us yet” “Well,I guess we will have to announce it now” “But definitely not today. Returning like this is al

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. "So, the hottest customer we have ever had,the guy we've all been gossiping about is actual

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

Chapter 174
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
