THE ONLY HEIR chapter 96
I woke up feeling nostalgia. I wanted to hold Darwin so bad, it's been years since that event happened and I've lived through the consequences, I've paid with tears. He found out that it was a bet and he left me but now everything was settled. Now, we were a together and happy. Things got good, things are good, Everything is good. Now he loves me and I love him. The Future is looking good, out future. I wanted to bury my face in his chest and let his cuddle me. I reached behind me and I touched the space to find it empty. I opened my eyes to see that the bed was empty. Darwin wasn't in the room and his side of the bed was very cold, he hadn't slept on it. But there was a single rose flower and beside the flower was a white sheet of paper. It didn't look like it was a love message, if Darwin wanted to leave early for a meeting he would always tell me at night, but at night he was awake and he was thinking, what was he thinking about, when did he leave. I

“Cassidy." I shouted. “Baby, come on, I thought you said you wanted to be back before one."“I'm coming, I'm looking for my Bermuda shorts." She shouted from upstairs.“Which one?."“There's just one." She shouted back.“Uh, the one I bought?." I asked.“Yeah."“I'm wearing the shorts babe."“But I wanted to wear them." She shouted.“Just put on something else and be down soon, or I'll change my mind about going."“You're such a kill joy." She shouted.“Babe, you know I'm not."“You are. I found another shorts." She said.“Nice. Be quick." I said going to get my hat from the couch and I put it on. I was sipping orange juice when I heard her say.“What the fuck are you wearing?." She asked. I turned to see her looking very gorgeous.“You look beautiful." I said to her.“Thank you. What are you wearing?."“What's wrong with what I'm wearing. Change the shirt, please and loose this farmer's hat."“I'm keeping the hat and I'm not changing the shirt, we're going for a hike, not for a fa

I was following behind them, I didn't have to use my binoculars to see them, I could see them clearly from where I was. I was far from them and they were walking too deep into the woods, I was wondering why, but it was the girl that was leading, maybe they were going to take in the scenery but surely they can't be choosing to hike this rocky mountain unless they wished death upon themselves. I had to be extra careful if not my face could be possibly scarred for life, I wouldn't be so handsome would I? Or maybe I would…maybe. I remembered when Ará told me that Hensley was obsessed with blondes. I wasn't surprised to see a blonde with him. I wasn't ready to follow them deeper into the forest, I had to go get Hensely and maybe I could just tell the girl to run, or she might report me to the feds... I took off my bag and I dropped it on the floor. I took out one gun from my bag and my dark shades. I wore my shades, probably she wouldn't recognize my blue eyes, but what

I was walking towards Hensley very swiftly. He had stopped, I could see them closer as I was going further but they could never see me. I was glad about it. And then I finally met them. I was just few feets away from them. I saw the shocked look on both Hensley's and the girl's face. I took off my shades, it had served it's purpose. I threw it on the ground. “No, this can't be possible." Hensley shouted.“No." He shouted again.“Hensley Campbell, we finally meet again. “" Darwinson, I'm sorry, please, I'm never going to do it again, please... Look, if you want... I'll give you back the money, you want it? I'll give it back to you, everything, every single penny I stole, please do not point that gun at me, Man. “ He said stuttering. “No, I don't want the money. I really don't want it, i'm a multi billionaire, remember, and I don't want to add your bloody money with mine. I'm just here to repay you, for all your sins. “" I didn't do anything to you man, It was your dad that

“He looks dead." I said kicking him.“Mr Anderson, I don't know what to say, I didn't expect you, I didn't... Thank you sir."“What are you saying thank you for?." I asked Hensley.“For saving my life." Hensley replied.“Oh don't be a fool, I don't have a soft heart like Darwinson here, people with soft hearts die, they die more than the people with cold hearts, take a look at Darwin, can't you see him lying down here now? Dead, lifeless. Some moments ago he was alive, but now look at him bathing in his own pool of blood. That's why the bad people get better and the good people die from their own senselessness. So I didn't save you, I'm literally going to shoot you if you don't move.“ I told Hensley.“You want your money back, right?." He said.“Obviously." I answered. " I don't have the money again. “ He shouted." Who's the money with?. “ I asked him." It's with Her, c'mon Cassidy, tell him you're with the money. “" You're so cheap. “ Cassidy said to Hensley. Were they playin

It was sunny, almost too sunny. I looked from my window to the sky and I was almost blinded by the light.“I don't think we can make it up the mountain this morning." I said to Kai“Why?." He asked me. " Because the sun is too hot. “ " When should we go? “ " Probably in the late noon, by then the sun shine would get softer. ““Late evening?. Noa can you hear yourself, It's too late. We have to go now, there's a better chance of finding our game still intact if we go now, but by late noon, another hunter or another predator might get it first before we do."“Walking up that mountain under this sun will be too tiring. You know it."“The trees will serve as a shade." Kai said. “The both of us know that those trees are useless, they never shield the sun."“We're still going."“You always decide what I do."“I'm the elder brother, it's my job to decide." Kai Shouted too loudly. “It's not fair."“Nothing is fair, nothing, not even life or mother nature, you get what you work for and if

“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

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
