The Emperor’s only Heir Chapter 137
As Dario approached the room, he shouted at the royal guards, “have you called the doctor?” “Yes, Your Majesty,” they chorused, but Dario didn’t wait to hear their response and kept running towards the room. Though he heard their answer.When Dario got to Maria’s room, he fell on his knees. “Calm down, Aisha,” he said to her, so she stopped shaking Maria and slightly moved away from her. Dario gently shook Maria, he tapped her shoulder and asked loudly, “Are you okay, mama?” But there was no response. He listened to her breathing and felt her pulse to see if it was still beating. Her breathing was irregular and her pulse was faint.“Place her gently on the bed,” he ordered the guards who got to work immediately. “Roll her onto her side with her bottom arm extended out and her top leg bent at the knee,” he instructed.Dario turned and ran his hair in frustration and fear. He took in a deep breath to calm his nerves. “Tilt her head slightly to keep the airway open,” he instructed th

Days later, Maria’s health that was thought to improve only declined. Her health had deteriorated these past few days; she couldn’t get up from her bed as she was extremely weak. Whenever she spoke, her voice sounded weak and hoarse.The doctor had assessed her condition and they were not able to find out what exactly was wrong. When Maria was rushed to the hospital some days ago, it was determined that she collapsed due to a temporary drop in her blood sugar levels. Though she had been on several medications until now and after several tests had been taken, her blood sugar level was normal. But, the symptoms didn’t disappear and only got worse by the day.So what could be the problem?For the past three days, the doctor has had to move into the mansion for the sake of monitoring her health and being easily accessible if any emergency occurred. “Her skin is getting more pale and cold by the day,” Aisha said, her voice shaking as she caressed Maria’s hand.The doctor had just finis

“Hey mama,” Dario said, walking into Maria’s room. “Good morning, how’re you feeling today?”“Hey baby,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Her voice sounded weak. “I feel almost the same.”Another month had passed and Maria’s health had remained the same and maybe a little bit better. Though she could talk now. Nobody knew the origin or the cause of the sudden extreme fatigue.Many doctors had come from far and near to assess the situation, but a solution have not been found until now. Even traditional healers had come to do their thing, but all to no avail.It had been devastating for the entire household; Dario, Aisha, their close families and the royal workers that worked in the mansion. Maria had always been such a kind woman and an absolute sweetheart. “I’m sorry I haven’t come to say hi since morning. Got busy with matters of the empire,” Dario apologized and sat beside her on the bed. He then placed his hand on her cheek and caressed it with his thumb.Maria fl

“Listen to me… “Dario leaned in closer so he could hear her, his face etched with sorrow. “I’m listening, mama.”“There… there is something about the ring,” Maria started, her voice barely a whisper. Dario’s brows furrowed in confusion, his eyes rolling backwards as he wondered what ring she was talking about. “What ring is that, mama?”“The ring…” Marias ‘a voice was becoming more faint as she spoke and her breathing got weaker.“The ring I gave to you,.. you gave… to… Delilah,” she added. Dario’s eyes shot upwards in remembrance, “I remember, I remember. I remember the ring. Yes! Yes! What about it, mama?”“It’s special.” “Uh!”Maria took a labored breath, her lips trembling as she continued, “it’s not just any ring… it has… powers.. it is extraordinary.”Dario’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. The same ring he gave to Delilah when he married her?? The same ring Delilah threw at his face on that terrible night years ago?? “What do you mean it has powers?” Dario asked, his

Dario and Aisha stood in the royal gardens where Maria’s burial had just taken place. The air was thick with sorrow and a profound silence enveloping the area, broken by only the ruffling of leaves. Maria loved the garden. She loves flowers. Dario could remember how her face would light up when she was in the garden because it brought her so much joy. She had a gentle touch with her flowers, treating each plant as if it were a precious gem. She would hum softly to herself as she carefully pruned, watered and tended her lovely lilies and the rest. Dario knew that the best place she would love to go to rest in, would definitely be the royal garden. Close to her flowers and surrounded by them. It would also be just a walk away if he wanted to visit her in the mansion. Even Aisha knew how contagious Maria’s happiness in the garden was. Most of the time, they would often chat there and Maria would happily teach her about flowers. As Dario stared at her resting place, their memories

Dario was in his father’s same old study, sitting on his same old worn leather chair. Two months had already passed and Dario spent most of his time in his father’s study. Except for the times he had to attend to the affairs of the empire. Living without hearing the laughter of his mother echoing through the mansion or the sound of her voice made the mansion feel strange. But, Dario didn’t let his grief consume him, and attended to his duties efficiently.He stared at both of his hands. The key to the mystery box in one and the apology letter from his father, Lord Reynolds, in the other. He looked up from his hand to the mystery box which sat on the table before him, locked. He finally found the key to the mystery box after following the clues that his father laid down for him.Though his journey on discovering the key wasn’t easy, he learned a lot through it. Just as Lord Reynolds intended for him.Over the years, he grappled with forgiving his father who acted out of love but ca

“Mrs Silver,” Blake took a deep breath, gathering his composure as he locked eyes with the steely gaze of Silver. “I am here for the same reason. I want to buy this technological powerhouse, and I don’t know why you’re so adamant on not selling it to me.”Silver let out a sarcastic laughter briefly. “What do you have to offer this technological powerhouse, just like you called it,” she said proudly.Blake began, his tone measured, yet earnest, “I understand your concern for the future of this company, Mrs Silver. But I assure you that I can take this company to heights it has never reached...”Suddenly, Silver began to laugh uncontrollably till her ribs started to hurt. Dario and Blake exchanged confused glances before looking back at Silver.What was so funny about what Blake just said?She stopped laughing for a second and was about to speak when she started laughing all over again pointing her finger at Dario and Blake. Dario recognized this. He knew what this was about; Silver d

In no time, a man in an impeccably tailored suit and an imposing figure walked into the office. As he entered, the air of authority around him filled the room. He scanned the office in a single glance and said “Silver,” greeting coldly without regarding the presence of Dario and Blake. “I trust everything is in order?” He asked. This was a question he always asked whenever he came into the company. And Silver knew the right answer. She straightened in her chair and forced a confident smile. “Of course, Mr Donald. Everything is in order.” “Good,” he replied, his tone unreadable. “And who are these people over here and what do they want?”“Good day-“ Dario started, but Silver raised her voice to interrupt him and said, “Sir, they were just about to leave!” Mr Donald glanced at Dario and Blake with an intimidating gaze. With one glance, he was able to sum up the total value of what they both had on. He didn’t even bother to look at their faces. He then returned his gaze to Silver.
