THE ONLY HEIR chapter 102
“Noa, why aren't you dressed yet?." Kai asked me from the other side of the door. " I just took by bath, I'll be ready in a short while. “" Be quick. “ He said and I heard movements outside. He had grabbed a cutlass, I had heard the sound of metal on stone. I had worn my clothes and combed my hair, if Kai saw me now he would be very disappointed, he always said that I loved to groom myself even when it wasn't necessary. To me grooming was necessary. This time last year I was getting ready for my eighteenth birthday, not that I had celebrated it and not that I'll celebrate it this year, it's just that birthdays are very special days. To Kai they were just like every other day. “I'm ready." I told him. He was hunched over a bench, he was sharpening the balde of his knife on the ground.“Where's your cutlass?." He asked me.“I don't need to carry one, you have one already."“What if you need to hit something." He asked turning to me.“Kai, you're the older brother, you're the

I knew my way around. I've lived here for nineteen years, I've been here since I was born. I wouldn't die here either. If Kai wanted to die here that was his choice, he could die wherever he wanted. The sun was unbearably hot. I decided to walk deeper into the woods and stay off the shore, maybe the trees might act as a shade. It got better but still I felt hot. The mountain ground was too rocky, if someone fell they could be seriously bruised. I didn't want to be bruised. So I made it a priority to keep my eyes open. My eyes was very open when I thought I saw a figure walking in the trees. Was that Kai following me?.As I looked closer I saw that it wasn't Kai. It was a man, in his early fifties or so. I was watching him very closely, I had forgotten my reason for coming to the mountain, and I had abandoned the voice that was telling me to mind my business. I followed the man, I was swift and stilt, Kai had taught me. It was just like hunting. The man would ne

I watched as the older man as he kicked the dark haired man, who's face was to the ground. What Kai said was true, it is a dangerous world. The older man points the gun at the man in a hat, he starts to say something and the older man points the gun at the golden haired girl. She shouts something but the gun didn't leave her face. To my surprise she pulls a gun from her purse and points it at the older man but she doesn't shoot him. Instead she points the gun at the man in a hat. I thought they were couples. The whole thing was confusing to be honest. I watched her turn to the ocean's direction but the older man had a direction in mind, he chose to follow the woods. The girl follows behind the man and I started to understand everything little by little. The older man was coming to kill the man in a hat and his accomplice was the girl, the girl had lured the man in the hat into the woods to meet the older man and the dark haired man had come to kill the man in the ha

Two shots were fired, I heard it clearly and Noa had just went in the same direction. He didn't have a gun, the gun was fired in the direction he went and he didn't have a gun, which means the shots were fired at him. I prayed in my heart as I ran through the woods. My clothe was catching in the sharp end of broken branches but I didn't care. My brother will be safe, I'll save him.All types of images had painted in my head. I shaked my head to keep them at bay. Noa had to be safe. He had to be safe. He's the only family I got. Mum would be so disappointed if she came back to hear that Noa had died. I ran swiftly, very swiftly.I couldn't breathe but I wouldn't stop to rest, I wouldn't stop to catch my breath, I had to go to my brother. I didn't notice that tears had started to slip past my eyes until I felt the sting behind my eyes. I thought that sweat had gotten into my eyes but that wasn't sweat it was tears. I didn't need to count my steps to know that I wa

Finally we were out of the woods. And the sun had seemed to calm down. It was not as hot as it was. I looked around. The place was beautiful, goddammit, Hawaii was beautiful. I looked at the multi million dollar mansion. It stood majestically on the shore, it was overlooking the ocean, I imagined the view from the top of the terrace. As we drew closer to the house, we were dwarfed by its size. There were other houses that was like this, it wasn't the only one. Cassidy was walking behind me and I was walking behind Hensley. He would never get out of my sight. I wanted my money so badly and I wanted to make a clean job out of this encounter. In a very short while I'll be in Detroit again or maybe I would move, why not go to Costa Rica or maybe Spain or Italy or even Paris. A change of scenery would be very good. “Mr Anderson." Cassidy called me from behind distracting my thoughts and bringing me back to the present moment. " Yes?. “ I asked her. " Don't you think

I held my belly tight, more kicks came. The next one harder and more faster than the last. He was wearing boots, hard boots that could dig holes in the ground, it hit my ribs, I heard some cracks, I felt as if I had been stabbed with a dagger, multiple times. More painful heart drilling kicks came. If only I could act fast and forget about the situation. But I was torn between shielding more kicks from hitting my abdomen and opening myself just to stretch and reach my gun, if only I could get my gun, aside from that I had no power over Hensley, he could literally kick me to death. My gun was between my belt and my trouser. If I could reach back. If I could just act fast and pull my gun from my belt, I would be saved. As I pulled my hand back it gave Hensley more space and he kicked me harder. I groaned, this was the worst day of my life but hopefully it would be the end of my suffering. I spat out blood impulsively. And I felt for my belt, I reached the tip of my gun a

I was outside, in my front yard mixing my left over turmeric powder with garlic marsh in a small bowl when I heard a distant shout. I stopped what I was doing to listen. I observed that it was getting closer and it was filled by hard footsteps. Sharp hard footsteps.Finally the figure came into view and yes it was running towards me. Of course I could see the figure but my eyes couldn't lay down the necessary details, I could see that he was male, but who?.I had to wait for the person to draw closer before I would know who it was. I used to have an excellent eyes sight, but unfortunately age was making it detoriate, although it was happening slowly, it was still happening never the less and this event was evidence that yes, my eye sight was going down. My eye sight had once been good, not that it wasn't good now, it was very unusual for a man my age to have such an excellent eye sight, but it was very good before. I dropped my bowl on the small wooden table,

“Noa, you have a big heart and the universe has a big gift for you. I'm going to help you save this stranger, just because of your goodness, and I'm happy to know that in the process I'll save you and your mother.“ I told him and I saw a tear slip from his eyes.“Thank you, thank you very much, this means so much to me." He told me.“Thank you. You shouldn't thank me, Noa. You might not know it now but mother nature smiles upon you and those that blesses you are blessed, I'm blessed because of you, so I'm going to thank you. Wait for me here, I'll get my bag and we can leave." I told him. I only just took notice of his black bag, the one he carried at his back, probably not his, it must be that of the stranger. But I wouldn't ask him, the bag looked good on him. He always dominanted things, Noa. I smiled as I walked away to get my bag. I went Inside and I took my bag from my room. “Come let's go." I told him but he was already going. I smiled at his meekness, he had a h

It was morning. I woke up a little after dawn. I went out for a run and when I got back, everybody was already up. We were in my house in New York... All of us. My mum, my little brother, my elder brother Kai, my lovely Ará and me... All of us. “Good morning." I said to my mum.“Where's Ará?." I asked nobody in particular.“She's preparing breakfast." Kai said. I headed for the kitchen.I saw here there, handling some pots.“Good morning." I said to her walking into the kitchen.“Good morning." She said Smiling. “I woke up and I didn't see you, I figured you must have gone out for a run." " I did. “" Why don't you join me in making breakfast.“" Are you sure you don't want to have a cook or maybe just a house keeper and the house keeper can employ people to come and do some stuff. ““Remember what happened with Rosé..., Remember?."

It was late afternoon already.“You're my mother..." I whispered to myself, I figured that if I wanted anybody to hear me, I had to speak louder but I couldn't find my voice. “My mother's name was Bridgette, was it her you gave... Was I the baby?." I asked her..., My mother, my real mother. Looking at her I didn't know what to say, we all didn't know what to say. We all looked ashen and spooked. I wasn't the only heir after all, I was the child of a lovely affair. Something in me spurred, gave life to light. She was my mother... I felt as if I was another person entirely, I didn't feel like my name was Darwinson Charleston Andersons.... No, I didn't feel like I had a name but I felt that I had a past a, strong past and there was a strong love that brought be to the world... Not the strange type Bridgette and Anderson had, finally I could call them by their first names... I whispered it out “Bridgette Andersons and Anderson Cooper Andersons." It sounded good to my ears.

Once again I was making lunch while Kurtis spoke to Solo. To keep my mind away from what was happening, I decided to bury myself in poems, poems that nobody had heard.'I know but I don't want to believe, that there is no such thing as love, I know it's true that love dosent exist but If believing in it is being foolish, then I want to be foolish, if being foolish is being happy, then I want to be foolish it's not everytime in your life that you have to be wise, sometimes you know what happens next, so why not close your eyes and fall blindly into love even though it comes with heartbreak(s), at least you were once happy, at least you were once foolish. ''I have the mind of a ninety year old but the heart of a three year old, I love desperately and I care quietly, I miss calmly and I wait patiently, I want truly and I think fastly, I think deeply, I listen, I understand truly, I judge with reasons, I'm calm, my heart is stupid, my mind is mature, I won't compare myself to a lonely fl

I woke up the next morning to find the bed empty. I went to the sitting room. Solo was already dressed and he was drinking coffee.“Hey baby, why are you dressed so early?." I asked him." Mr Kurtis called. He's going to have a meeting with us today. He wants us to be there earlier today. “" Okay.... When will you be back?. “" In the afternoon. “" Good bye. “ I told him and he dropped his cup on the table." I love you sweetie, take care of Kai and yourself.“ He told me. I watched him leave.I went to the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and I had my bath. I was still dressing up when I heard the knock on the door. Did Solo leave anything in the house that he should have carried. I tied a towel around my chest. I went to the door, I undid the locks and then I turned the door open, standing there was Kurtis. He walked past me.“Jeez, Solo just left, what if you met him here."“I saw his car leave, I knew he just left, I was outside."“ For how long?." I asked him.“N

I woke up and made breakfast for Solo. While Solo was still asleep, the phone rang.“Hello." I said into the phone.“Hey baby." Kurtis's voice cut through the phone.“You called this early." I said above a whisper."I've been awake since dawn, I didn't know if would be so early, I'm sorry. ““You don't have to be, I was just worried that Solo might have picked the call." " How are you doing?. “ He asked me. “I just made breakfast... I'm good, how about you?."“I miss the hell out of you." He told me“I miss you too."“How about I come and pick you up today. My yacht is out in the ocean."“I don't know about today..." I started to say but he cut me off.“Solo is going to be done with his work soon, in two days time. I can't hold him here, surely he's going to get any contract, I can arrange that but I don't know how valid that plan would be, we literally don't have time on our hands, I've been thinking about it for so long and it's chewing me up. “" I thought about it too. “" I

I went home. As if Ana smelt it... As if she knew that I had done the abominable, she smiled a very fake smile.“Gael, you're back." She said to me. It wasn't Mrs Garcia or Miss Gael, it had changed to Gael, only Gael. But I felt good, I felt alive, I felt in love again almost reborn... I was born again. Gone was the old Gael and come was the new one. Not that they both of them had too many distinct features they didn't, they had too many in common, but this new me was the manifestation of the reborn Gael, the one that was formerly lost in being loyal... The one that had to quench her fire to fit in a type of lifestyle. “Yes, I'm back. “ I told her... My voice seemed foreign to me, it was much more bolder than the former, I was much more confident. “Hey Kai, how are you doing?." I asked Kai. “Momma." Kai said giggling. I took him from Ana.“Thank you Ana.“ I told her. She walked out of the door without saying anything. I was still in the bathroom having

The next day, after Solo had left for work. I took out those boxes, sat there in Kai's closet and I tore them. Toy train and cars that could moves with remotes... There were too many toys in the first box, too many that I wondered how Kai would play with them, all. Then in the other box were jewelries... How would I explain how I got them. I knew that I would have to come up with a new lie. If Solo asked who bought them, I would say that my colleague, Marietta gave them to Kai... She had a rich uncle no, I wouldn't say she had a rich uncle, I could say that she had a rich brother and she had a wealthy family too... And she loves Kai, should add that she also has a daughter or maybe I'll say she has a son. When Solo had come back, he had met me sitting in the living room with the two boxes on the table.“Jeez babe, what are those, the boxes are huge."“The boxes are huge aren't they... Let me tell you, come and have a sit. Do you remember Marrietta, my colleague, the funny lad

I heard the knock on the door. I wondered who it was. I was in the kitchen setting the things I would use to prepare dinner. I turned the locks, opened the door and I saw Kurtis standing there with two huge boxes standing beside him. When he saw me, he bent and he carried the both of the boxes and they seemed heavy. “Good afternoon." I said and he walked past me.“These boxes are heavier than they look." He said to me laughing. He dropped it on the table." I wasn't expecting you. “ I said to him." I know. “ He said walking to Kai's bedroom. " I was just in the office and I thought I'd come and surprise you and Kai. “ He said touching Kai's face." What's in the boxes?. “" Toys, mostly and the other things are just for you.“" For me?. “ " Yes, I picked them today myself. I'm sure you'd love them. “" Thank you, but what are they?. “ I asked him." You'll find out when you open the box. “ Kai was awake so they were playing together while I was cooking in the kitchen

“I'll be back soon." I told Ana. I turned the door and I walked out of the house. I went outside and I saw a different car, but it was black. And sitting behind the wheels was the same driver.“Hi." I said to him. He smiled at me. It didn't take long before we reached the beach. I climbed down from the car. The sun plastering on my body. The wind scattering my hair and my dress, kissing me everywhere. “Mr Kurtis will be waiting for you in the boat right there.“ The driver said pointing to a boat. It was the only boat that was there and it was big. Written on the body was 'Aqua-Marine'. I liked the name, very much. I walked to the deck and I turned around, the driver had started to drive away. This time there was no body to lead me. I saw Kurtis standing there when I was on the deck. He smiled at me. I turned to the ocean then to look at him.“Eyes like the heart of water." I told him. He laughed and stretched out his hand to me.“You look beautiful."“Than
