THE ONLY HEIR chapter 85
I climbed down from my bed. The sleep wasn't coming and I had to stop forcing my self. I could as well go to visit that person causing the sleeplessness. The lights turned off when I left my room.I remember one time I had slept all alone at night. I was only ten when it happened. My mum had gone on a trip and the servants had gone to their own homes. I had heard stories of demons and how they would sleep under the beds of children, waiting till it was night time. And then they would eat the kids alive and then steal their screams, I didn't want to be eaten alive and I didn't want any monster to steal my scream, so I didn't make a single sound and I had to protect myself.... I layed under the blanket that night till God knows when, literally through out the night. And when I would peek to see if it was day time already, the room would be as if it was clothed with darkness and the chairs would morph into monsters and the tables into big fat demons. But I had slept when the sun

Thirteen days after.I had gone to bed by nine I was thinking of how tomorrow would be. I already got my dress intact. I dropped my shoes…it was like it was my first day of school again. I went to sleep feeling anxious and excited. Eventually I fell asleep.And I had a dream. In my dream I was walking towards my old company but I wasn't going to the company. I wasn't going back to my old job. I was going to see Frank. I was dressed in mini shorts a crop top and my black stilettos. Why was I dressed like this? Was the big question. Although I looked nice, really nice, I had beautiful legs and the world needed to see it. I spotted Frank's food truck ahead and I ran towards him. I was yelling his name while running and I stopped in front of him and I said.“Frankie I'm here, look at me, I'm here, I came back."And he turned to me and he frowned and he said “Go away. I no longer find you attractive." I woke up from sleep and found out that it was morning already. Exactly 5:2

I was watching him watch the sky. His tall frame stood in front of the glass wall. I knocked but he couldn't hear me. “Good morning sir." I said. He stared at me for a short while and I said to him. “I knocked a few times, but, you weren't responding, so I just thought maybe, I should open the door." “Come in." He told me. “Thank you."“I have a few things to discuss, it's about business." I told him. “Okay." He replied. “You don't say much, do you?." I asked. Everybody knew that talking was my way of communicating. I felt uneasy when I met people that didn't talk. Rich people. “No." He simply replied. It was enough to send me running. “Oh, okay, I'll just go ahead and lay these on the table, I've mapped it all out, you can review it later, you don't look like you are ready to speak to anybody." I said to him." No, no, stay, please.“ He said. " Oh, okay.“" Let's forget business for now, tell me something.“ His eyes were beautiful, Goddammit. I remembered wha

He opened the door to my car and he dropped my phone and my purse in the passengers seat.“Stop crying, everything will be alright." He told me.“Be safe." I said to him.“You too." He told me. “Now drive away and don't come back and whenever you see Darwin, any time in the future, run, you hear me?." “Yes."“Live a beautiful life, Lisa. A happy life. Find someone that would appreciate you no matter what, that would listen to you talk even if it's three am in the morning, don't settle for less, and know that you're my sweetheart, bye bye." He said moving out and closing the door for me. I cleaned my tears and I drove out and I went home. I went home and I cried my heart out. To be honest everything sounded dangerous, things would get serious. It was evening. Mark called me that he was coming soon to the house and he came as he had promised and he showed up with a very big suit case as he had said.“Here's your money."“The both of us know that I hardly did anything."“Take

I entered into my car and I drove back to my hotel. I walked into the hotel. Before I met Mark, I couldn't afford places like this. The hotels' room fee was above my pay grade for a month that was when I was still working at my former company. I walked to the reception. The receptionist was sitting behind her desk.“Good day. I want to check in."“Okay, room what?." She asked me.“Room 369." “Okay, give me a second." She said.“Hey beautiful." I heard and my heart threw me off guard and it started to beat faster. Was that Frank. I turned to the person to see if it was Frank. But it wasn't Frank. It was a total stranger.I eyed him wearily and turned back to the receptionist.“Here are your keys." She said handing me the keys.“Thank you." I told her.“Uhm, hi." The man said to me, I turned to look at him, but i didn't give him my attention, so I walked away from him. I was entering the elevator when I noticed he was coming into the elevator too. The both of us st

“I love your clothes.""Me too, I love them. Thank you for the complement.“" You're welcome.“" You didn't tell me you were a chef.“" Oh, I'm not. Not really though. I didn't know how to cook a thing, just about eighteen months ago. It was ironical because I owned plenty of restaurants and I didn't even know how to boil pasta. So I decided toesrn and I learnt very fast, I'm a fast learner. And I decided to sell in one of my food trucks. The experience was good smd added to that, it's the place we met.““I went to your food truck. The spot we met and I saw another guy there. I swear I was so confused at first but he explained things and it was clear. He said I could never meet you, he made you sound like a kind of attractive ghost and to be honest, it got me scared and yet I kind of like decided to try out New York. And I was just in the parking lot when we met."“You came to find me…like you wanted to find me, I feel special right now, you don't want to know."" You've been going th

I knew that I wasn't the strongest man that ever lived, or the most handsome or the most creative or the most intelligent, but I would say that I was the luckiest. After all that has been happening to me, I still stood my ground to progress. I didn't settle for depression even though I saw the cold soothing hand of sadness stretching out it's cradle for me to come undone and give up. I still stood strong, I passed through a night mare knowing that nightmares only haunt at night and when dawn comes a new light would shine upon and I would be better, I saw the light at the far end of the tunnel and I ceased everything to get to that light. Now I was at that light but there are other tunnels to cross and I can't dwell in this tunnel forever, even if I wanted to. Wasn't that was life was, tunnel upon tunnel upon tunnels. That was why there was light at day and darkness at night and it repeated itself. Over and over and over again. It was now normal and compulsory fo

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."“You don't have to apologize. I'm not offended."" I need to, you were asleep and I woke you. “" That's the sweetest way to be woken, Darwin, you whispered lovely words into my ear, it felt like magic when the sensation was going up and down my spine. “She said and I watched her silently, praying that she doesn't ask why I'm heading out of the bed.“What are you doing awake by this time, Dee? Your eyes look brilliant, too brilliant to have seen a dream this night, have you slept?."“No."“Why?." She said sitting up.“I couldn't sleep, don't worry about me, go to sleep." I told her hoping she listens. “But you're awake." She protested. Ará was stubborn, too stubborn and it made her more lovely. “I'm fine." I told her trying to get her back to sleep. “Are your thoughts haunting you?." She asked me. “My thoughts are keeping me awake my actions are haunting me." I told her. Then she fell silent.“Do you remember what sister Constance had t
