THE ONLY HEIR chapter 41
After I was told that Anderson had left me. I came up with some money to have an abortion. It was going to be flawless they said. It would go by smoothly and you would go back to living your normal life. Of course I wanted to go back to living my normal life, I wanted it more than I wanted to breathe. So I had the abortion and they were right, everything turned out fine. I found a new job as a secretary in a small private firm, my pay was good and I couldn't ask for anything more. I got married and for some few years I and my husband tried to have kids.... Only to find out that I couldn't bear children any more. The abortion I once had, crippled my ability to have children. My husband, couldn't take the news.So he left, he left me. For so many years I reminisced about my life, always thinking back, always regretting, and my mind never failed to pomder upon that morning, that morning I woke up to find Anderson on my bed. For many years I cried and I cu

Then I fed him. I fed him and I fed myself. He needed to fit my description, leader at a top firm. I needed to look well taken care of. We needed to look as if we didn't come begging, no, we were here to take from not to ask from. Then the time was right, we planned for a year, then the time was finally right and we went and God did they fall for it. Everything fucking went as planned. Nobody suspected anything. Then their son, I took pity on him, truly I didn't want to hurt him, I just wanted vegeance, vengeance for what had happened to me years ago. If I never had an abortion, I doubt that my boy wouldn't look like Darwinson. They would have been brothers, from different mother's but brothers nevertheless. But, he got written off the will by his own father. Jesus, Anderson didn't have a heart.Then he left, for a long time I never saw him, for months. I prayed that nothing bad had befallen him. He was a beautiful boy, the most handsome face I very s

I drove up the hill. Deja Vu hit me, I remembered some months ago I was driving up this same hill to meet my parents, to them I was their little Darwin. The Darwin that they played little attention to, the Darwin that they showed no love till he was grown enough to not be cheated. They little Darwin they payed had no interest in till he was old enough to run the business, they always thought of themselves. They were that greedy and treacherous.How the actual fuck did the two of them give birth to me. My mother would always tell me to get a wife, get a wife and get a life. She didn't want to know how my relationships were going, she didn't want to know if I had a hard time finding love, she just wanted that I have a wife. It got me thinking, if Henskey had never showed up, I wouldn't have very woken up, I would have never gotten free from the grip of my parents. Mark who was my friend and my cousin and my business partner and a very good spy, the best actually and a ve

“Mandeline?." I said and then the line went dead. Jesus...My legs couldn't hold me, I sat down on my couch. Jesus, who were these people... I didn't want to get my mind all worked up. I trust Mandeline, I trust my family even though I didn't like them but there was a new case at hand no matter how much I tried to cover it up, there was a new case. How did Mandeline know who Mark was... How did she know his name and the way she called it as if she's been calling it a long time now.... Then my mind went back to previous times, the time Mark had called me to tell me that he knew where I lived, he knew my company, he said he knew a lot of things about me and just that day he died he called me to tell me congratulations.... Mandeline was the only person I told about the companies.... Mandeline was the only person that was so close to me. I remember the times when I was little that people would fake love just to get to me, just to get money from me, just to get information, they c

“tell me you're lying Adrian."“I'm serious mate."“Adrian, I'll talk to you in a bit."“Okay, bye." I was standing but I didn't know when I had gotten up from my bed. I was wide awake, and I was damn surprised. There were no words in my mouth, there was not a way I could explain how I felt. How it felt to be lied to and cheated. I felt naive and foolish and used.“Hello, Daniel. “" Good evening, who's speaking. “" It's me Darwin Anderson. “" Oh, Mr Darwin, what a pleasure to have you on the call sir. “" Thanks, I remember you solved a case for my friend, Charles. I need your help. “" Anything sir. “" There's someone I want you to get information on, I want everything you can find, can you do it?. “" I can sir. “" How long should I wait?. “" Two days max. “" I heard you're a pro Daniel, that's why I asked you, I don't have two days, I want it by morning.“" Morning it is then.“" Great. I'll text you all her details.“ For now Hensley could run away, he could run

“He needs someone to work as his house keeper."" Then what?. “" Jesus, Mark you're supposed to be the smart one, how come you're not picking up on this fast?. “" You can as well tell me and stop beating about the bush. “" If we get a housekeeper, means that we could get a housekeeper of our choice, means that she could steal from him that way. ““So he wants her now?." “He doesn't like to be kept waiting, I told him that I would get back to him."“Well, do you have someone?." “Yeah, I do. Her name is Rosetta, she's my best friend."“Is she going to be good for the job."“She's perfect for it."“Okay then, tell him."One day she had walked into his office, looking as beautiful as she could, she stood in the door, waiting for his eyes to catch her, so he could watch her walk into his office. So he could drink from her image. Then she saw Adrian and knew that her world was over, or so she thought.“Mark, something bad has happened."“What?."“I saw Adrian in Darwin's office, he

It was cold. That was my first thought. I had woken up with a proper hangover. The phone was ringing, I didn't know what to focus on, I didn't know if I should focus on my freezing feet, my migraine or my ringing phone. But, I picked up the phone nevertheless and I saw it was Mandeline calling me. I picked up the phone and I tried to sound active, I didn't want to sound as if I was just waking up.“Hello, Madeline how are you doing?."“I'm sorry, did I wake you, it's the time difference, it's crazy." I tried to make my voice sound alert but it sounded the opposite, I still felt drowsy." Yeah, the time difference is crazy, I'm coming straight to Ireland. I'd love to see around, isn't that where Rosé is from?. “" Yeah, she's from here."“How's she doing?."“She's good, she loves it here."“What about you?."“I love it here."“I'll be there soon but not too soon." " I'll be waiting here for you, okay?. “" Okay. “ I drove to my house and I got dressed. To be honest, I

I took a walk outside. I wanted to take in the scene of everything. I remembered Lily, my old classmate, who had red hair and freckles on her face, but she was a nice sight. She has those pretty faces that you could gaze on for hours on end and you would never get enough of the beauty. Then I remembered Ará, she had those beautiful faces too, I remembered the time I had gotten in trouble because I was going to see Ará at night in the girls' hostel. I remember the time after that, I remember the time we tried to sneak out of the school... I shake my head desperately trying to get Ará out if my thoughts, nostalgia wasn't going to get me anywhere right now and plus I haven't even heard from Ará in a long time. Although I missed her so much, I missed her and I was worried about her. I shifted my focus from my thoughts to the serene environment around me. I walked amongst the trees, I felt a clean sweep of sir envelope me. I seriously needed advice, I needed a clue as

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
