THE ONLY HEIR chapter 143
“Ará, what were you doing at the bar last night?." He started like an overprotective boyfriend. “I went to have a drink." I told him. “A drink, it seemed like you had more than a drink."“It was just a drink Toby." “You were drunk, what if I wasn't there at the exact time, you didn't even know where you were going, what if someone else got you..."“I'm fine now, thank you for helping me." I said with a small smile. He hasn't really changed much. He uses to fuss over me then and he's still doing it now. “You don't have to say thank you, we both know I would always love to be of help to you.""It's been like what, six years?." I asked him." Long enough for you to forget who I was. “" Tobias, I didn't forget you, you just changed so much. “" You also changed, a good change and I could still recognize you, no matter what. “ He still had that look in his eyes, the I-want-you-badly kind of look. I was not comfortable with him staring at me like that, I looked around the roo

“It's been ages." He said smiling. He hadn't changed much, he just got older and more beautiful with age. He looked neat and poise.“I never thought I would see you." I said to him.“Like they all say, it's a small world."“How have you been?." I asked him.“I've been good. I'm still good, how about you, how have you been?."“I've been good too."“So, did you continue acting?." He asked me.“Uhm, no, no I didn't."“Why, what did you do after getting your degree?." “I got married." I told him. It wasn't at all a lie.“That's interesting, to who?." I wondered if I should tell him. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I fell back into my chair, trying to sit more comfortably and I rubbed my hands against the hard wood table. All the other workers had gone and the cafe was a little busy. I looked around at all the people but never seeing their faces, just scanning them.“To Anderson, I got married to Anderson." I finally spat." You mean Anderson Cooper Andersons, my then roommate

There were just three rooms in the house. It was night time and I had started to feel sleepy. I thought about Ará, it was the first time I had thought about her since I woke up. I felt guilty for not thinking of her for long... But as I thought about it, I wondered why she wasn't the first person I thought of. “Darwinson, I think my mother has something to tell us, she hasn't said anything yet." Noa said. He was sitting across from me. I didn't even notice when he had entered the sitting room, formerly I was alone in the room. He was never scared to pass down his thoughts and I admired it about him.“I don't think there's anything to tell, Noa, the fact that we look alike is merely coincidence, questionable, but just coincidence. Nothing links me here and I'm sure your mother doesn't even know who the Fuck I am.“" I find it hard to believe that anything is merely coincidence Darwinson, formerly, Kai would stress about the topic to me and still I wouldn't believe him, but now, he

“It's actually the other way around."“What?."“The Anderson Cooper Andersons, that I knew very well, always knew when someone had a crush on him, even though a tiny crush, he would know. He was an expert in reading emotions and body languages, even if they were faint. “ I watched Asher's face, he thought about it for a long while before he said. “I thought I knew him, turns out that I didn't know him, I only thought I did." " Anderson is like that, a wolf in sheep's clothing, smart yet acts like he's naive. “" What happened after the both of you got married?. ““A lot of things happened."“Tell me, we have time."“We do, don't we?."“Yes, we do." Then I thought about it. Why would I tell him now when I could just postpone it. It would leave him no choice but to meet up with me another day, maybe there might be a chance that we would become fond of each other.“I would have told you now, but I don't feel comfortable spitting out the truth now, I'll leave it for another

“What I'm going to tell you might put you off, everything. But the truth is vital in starting up a relationship." I told Asher." You want that don't you, you want us to have a relationship. “ " Shamelessly I do. We're lying naked under this cover.“" And I still want you. “" Maybe you might not want me after I tell you my story. I pray you do. “" Bridgette, tell me, we'll see where we go from here. “ He told me brushing my arm with his fingers. I stared at the thin air and I tried to hold onto the memory of what happened after I and Anderson got married. After we were declared husband and wife. " Our wedding day was...Grand like we had planned. I called a bunch of my friends from school, my aunts and uncles and cousins that I had never even seen before had attended it, the friends I had lost contact with came just to see what an Andersons wedding would be like and they were not put off, all their mouths were held open through out the celebration. Only that Anderson only had

“Mark, sweetie, do you want to touch your neice?." I asked Mark who was playing with his spoon. He had looked at me but when he saw I wasn't offering him candy, he turned away and foucs on playing on his spoons. I laughed and then Velvet reappears into the living room.“So you're saying you didn't find anything?." She asked me.“No, I didn't."“Not even a lipstick mark in his boxers."“I didn't try that, I didn't search for it." I said frantically. She smiled and she went to Mark." Come on sweetheart don't put that into your mouth. “ She was saying to him." Maybe I'm just overthinking. He comes home drunk and then what?. “" Hopefully, you're just overthinking it. “" How are you so happy living alone?. “I asked her." I'm alone, but I'm not lonely, they're too different things. “" Sometimes I just smile at your excuses. “" You mean to say explanations. “" That's not what I meant to say, I was in my right senses when I said that they're excuses.“ She turned to me and she

“I'm deeply sorry miss. I thought that we could save your daughter but we couldn't. she gave up. I'm sorry but we tried all we could to save Eloise." The doctor said. I looked at him, he was wearing a small forwn but it wasn't enough to show condolence, was it?. Apart from the frown there was no other emotion playing on his face. I looked at Anderson, I saw him cleaning his tears. I wondered why my eyes were so dry. I felt guilty for not crying. After a while I was scared that if I didn't cry now, I might not cry after, I feared that maybe until I die, I wouldn't even cry and it made me feel like a witch. But I cried that night. I was laying down on the bed staring at the ceiling and then the death of Eloise seemed to take more life from the darkness in the room and it made my heart sore and bleed. I could almost see her when she was grown up, if she had been given a chance at life... I could almost smell her soft hands when she would have been done with playing in t

I had landed safely in Hawaii. It looked more different from when I had last gone. It looked more serene and tranquil. At night I was shivering like a lamb abandoned in winter. I had wrapped myself with the blanket but still I felt cold and freezing. When morning came I had stopped feeling cold but I felt terribly ill. I didn't hesitate to go to the hospital.“Have I caught an infection?." I asked the young doctor. " I'm afraid not, you didn't catch an infection. You just caught cold. “" But I didn't do anything that would lead me to catching cold. “" Did you just deliver a baby?. “ He asked me. I looked down at my feet and then at his, before I looked at his eyes." Yes, but I had given birth to her on the seventh month, she died. “" I'm sorry. “ He told me." Thanks. “ For some reason I was put in the maternity ward. They said that they would let me go before evening, they wanted to see if I would generate a cough but I didn't before evening and they su
