The Silent Heir 12
Siege hospital…Rita stood in the hallway with an edgy expression as she held onto Emily’s phone.It’s been six minutes since she called Micheal but it felt like six hours.Just then…“Where is my Emily?”Venice cried as she walked towards Rita.“Venice,” Rita said silently.Venice hurried towards her and held her hands, “ how is your friend? What is going on? Why did I suddenly get a call about Emily being in a hospital”“Venice… Emily was bleeding heavily. I… I don’t know what happened but she suddenly started screaming and held her abdomen, screaming about being in so much pain. And that’s when she collapsed. I didn't know what to do and called 911 ”Rita said everything as it happened and she felt out of breath after.“This is crazy. How can she suddenly be in such a situation? And where was that good for nothing when this happened” Venice asked angrily.“He… He wasn’t in the house when this happened” Rita answered and answered quickly, “but I have called him and he said he is o

Micheal coldly walked straight to Rita ignoring both Venice and Aaron and asked, “ Where is Emily” Rita seeing the only person who genuinely cares for Emily has arrived,She breathed in a sigh of relief and strolled towards him.“Thank goodness. Emily is still in the ICU. The doctors are yet to say anything to us” Rita answeredIf one looks closely, one can see that her tensed shoulders have finally dropped.“Now tell me..”Michaels was about to ask what happened when Venice interrupted him.“What are you doing here?”Micheal turned and she was scared to her bones. What is this expression?She has never felt her back this chilled before.She quite remembers Micheal had the same expression on the last visit to their house.But since it wasn’t directed at her, she didn’t think much about it.Who would have thought she would one day experience it herself?Is this the same useless son-in-law she picked?“Who.. Who are you looking at in that manner” Venice stammered.Aaron could a

As soon as she saw what was being shown to her, Emily screamed,“Goodness”Emily was frightened by Emily’s sudden cry and she also jumped in fright.“What happened?” she asked.Emily was unbothered by the arrival of her old friend and stared gleefully at the box in Rita’s hand.Seeing the reason for her reaction Rita rolled her eyes, “Was it vital to react in such a manner? All these are for you and no one else. There is no need to react like it will be taken away from you if you do nothing”Emily stared at her with tears in her eyes.Rita was shaken when she saw this.Are these tears of joy for seeing the box she brought or there is a different reason behind it?All the same, she stepped forward and held Emily’s hand with a worried look forgetting all about her tease.No matter what it always breaks her heart when she sees Emily in such a situation.“Are you okay? Did something happen?” Seeing the look on Rita's face, Emily knew she had overreacted.But no one can blame her as her h

“Now can you explain” ? How are they going to explain themselves .The person in the video is someone they know very well.“This… This… why should we explain? It can’t be that you are trying to pin this on us right” Venice said with nervousness written all over her face .“Trying to pin this matter on your head ? Do you think I will want to waste time on something like that ? I have always treated you people as family but how have I been treated all these years? Tell me how? And the only person who actually , genuinely care about me is now lying there . And despite the evidence right in front of your eyes , you still think I want to pin the blame on you ? Of course yes I do” Michaels outburst was something which shocked not only the Kincaid couple , but Rita as well.“This.. this …” Venice stammered trying to find the right words .Aaron on the other hand had a frown on his face as this is the first time someone has made him tongue tighed .Micheal has never been like this before ,

“Young master, there is something you should know,” Steph said over the phone in a binding tone.Micheal said nothing as he didn't want to disturb his sleeping wife.Steph is also not in a hurry as he knows his young master might be with the resting young mistress by now.“What is it?” Micheal asked as soon as he walked to stand close to the window, out of his wife's reach.“The Kincaids had already left the hospital and it seems that Aaron doesn't look happy” Steph reported.Micheal chuckled, “Why am I not surprised? Just leave those two for now and focus on more pressing matters. I need everything about the auction next week”“Sure Sir,” Steph said and hung up. Micheal smiled coldly as he looked at the dark city, “Wanted to keep the peace but it seems I have to take action very quickly”Kincaid mansion…“Will you take your time? I have already structured Marcus on what's to do while coming” Venice said as she walked very fast after the angry Aaron.He entered the house walked stra

He thought he was very meticulous with his transaction but everyone already knew about it.How? “How is this possible? I made sure to not make any mistake” he said with a confused look.He didn’t even bother with the pain in his cheeks and stood up.“I think you have a cognitive situation with the manner you are talking now. Have you forgotten that Micheal now operates for BYC? How could you forget something that important? He is now under the protection of those people and I don’t know how this will affect our company but I sure hope it does nothing to the new deal we just got” Aaron said.“But… but I don’t think that will be possible. Micheal got the deal for Emily and her child. He will do anything possible to save this chance. Also, Micheal might just be one of those unimportant people in that company. There is no way they will want to involve themself with our family matter” Darius said in a convincing tone.“Yes. Darius is right. Micheal is just a low-level employee who will wa

Kincaid had just finished with Shine and was walking back to the hotel. He walked towards the elevator and saw a figure he knew very well standing inside. After giving a nod, he entered the elevator and the person did the same. He pressed his floor button and stood there quietly."It's very nice to see you again. Coming back from the bat, I suppose?" Alec asked with a smile.Kim didn't even look at him but smiled as he replied, "Yeah."Alec nodded his head and continued, "Guess your night has been quite eventful. I saw you hitting it off with Maria earlier today. And believe me, she might feel the same."Kim didn't rush to reply or look at him, instead choosing to remain quiet.He felt that Alec often had one interest in mind but always tried to find something to pin on others, and that's exactly what he was doing right now."It's surprising that you, venturing into public political business and being the president and heir to the Crowns family empire, are so interested in other pe

Kincaid walked into his suite and immediately sensed that something was off. With an alert look, he didn't even turn on the lights in the room before he sensed a hand about to attack him. He swiftly dodged to the side and prepared to counterattack.The person attacking him seemed surprised, not expecting him to counter with such strength. Kincaid quickly grabbed the person's hand and swiftly threw them overboard."Ouch," the person groaned in pain as he lay on the floor."Is it over already? I was hoping for more. This is so boring," Jayden's voice echoed in the darkness.Kincaid calmly walked to the switch and turned on the lights, revealing Cole lying on the floor."What are both of you still doing here? I thought you guys might be in your room by now," Kincaid asked, crossing both his hands on his chest."Can you be less serious next time? I may look like a young man, but I'm old in spirit. Have some mercy," Cole said as he struggled to stand up.Kincaid casually glanced at him an

Kincaid walked away into his closet to get something to put on."You can leave the same way you came if there is nothing else. I need to get my beauty sleep as I have some work tomorrow," he said.With that, she felt a surge of pain in her heart and didn't know how to react to this."And I guess it's with Maira, right? You guys have become really close in this short time. Very interesting," Shine said.Kincaid, who had already put on some pants and was about to put on a shirt, smiled."And how is that any of your business? Last I remember, you allowed your friend into your house and even went to the club with him. You can do whatever you want with your life, and I can't do the same? Interesting."Shine was beyond herself in rage. She walked towards the window, about to leave the same way she came, without bothering to answer when he spoke."Oh, and also, I think we've done enough with this fake relationship. I think it's time we let go of this charade so we can both do whatever we wan

The next day, Kincaid arrived at the Pierre mansion, his eyes filled with admiration as he took in the grandeur of the estate. “I'm already there, don't worry I will be with you soon okay” he said with a tender smile .“You sure? I don't want that Maria cockroach to punch on you as soon as you arrive there, "Shine said with gritted teeth. “I knew I to follow you there” “You are cute,” he said and that was enough to shut her up.He couldn't see her but he could sense that she was blusing.“Okay I will coke right to you after this meeting okay” he said and before he could say something else, she hung up.He smiled widely but it soon disappeared when he git down from his car. The mansion stood majestically amidst sprawling gardens, its architecture exuding a timeless elegance. The air was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping birds added a serene melody to the surroundings.A butler, impeccably dressed in a formal suit, stepped forward to greet Kin

As the lingering silence filled the room, Mr. Pierre shifted gears smoothly, changing the subject to business matters. "Now, let's talk about the collaboration for the new hotel project. I've heard remarkable things about your management skills, Kincaid, and I believe your expertise will be invaluable in this endeavor."Kincaid nodded, appreciating the shift in conversation. "Thank you, Mr. Pierre. I've had successful experiences with hotel projects in the past, and I'm eager to explore this opportunity further. With your support and resources, we can create something truly extraordinary."Over the next couple of hours, Kincaid and Mr. Pierre delved into the details of the new hotel venture. They discussed location possibilities, design concepts, target demographics, and potential challenges they might face. Kincaid's passion for the industry was evident, and Mr. Pierre was impressed with his strategic thinking and attention to detail.After their fruitful discussion, Kincaid stood

After Kincaid left, the warm glow of the evening sun painted the mansion's walls in shades of gold. Mr. Pierre and Maria found themselves sitting in the elegant living room, a gentle breeze rustling the curtains.Mr. Pierre studied his granddaughter's face, noticing the wistful look in her eyes. "Maria, my dear, what are you hoping for with Kincaid?" he asked gently.Maria's calm façade vanished into thin air, replaced by a flicker of arrogance. "Well, Grandfather," she began, "I might not know exactly what I'm hoping for, but there's something about Kincaid that intrigues me. He doesn't appear to be someone who's interested in me, but I can't help but feel drawn to him."Mr. Pierre smiled knowingly, reaching out to hold Maria's hands warmly. "My dearest girl, the heart can be a complex thing. It may not always align with what our eyes see. Kincaid is a remarkable man, and I understand why you find him intriguing. If there's something you desire, I support you wholeheartedly."Maria's

“This feels like heaven”Shine walked into the glamourous mall, its rich decorations and luxurious stores making her feel like she had stepped into a world of glamour and extravagance. The marble floors reflected the shimmering lights of chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings, and the sound of soft music filled the air, adding to the aura of luxury.Cole followed her closely, carrying a plethora of shopping bags from their previous mall visits. “This… This is like the third mall already”. He seemed a bit overwhelmed and exhausted, but Shine was in high spirits. This was the third mall they had visited that day, and she didn't seem worried about the time or money spent. “Cole hurries we need to get more,” she said and run away excitedly, looking nothing like the cold detective Shine. For her, it was the first time she could indulge in something purely for her pleasure, free from work-related stress and responsibilities.Her eyes sparkled like a child in a candy shop as she sca

Shine felt a mix of surprise and embarrassment as she found herself held in an intimate position by Alec. “Ermm, thank you”She quickly tried to pull herself away from him, putting on an angry and disgusted look.Cole, who had placed the shopping bags away, hurriedly stood before Shine protectively, his fists clenched. "Stay away from her! She's my boss, Kincaid's woman," Cole warned Alec with a fierce glare.Alec smirked, raising his hands in a mock surrender. "No need to act alarmed, my friend. I come in peace," he said, his voice oozing with charm. "I never said I'm interested in your boss lady here," he added, looking at Shine with a playful glint in his eyes. "But I have to admit, the detective is quite the beauty. Wouldn't mind having her as my woman."Cole's protective instincts flared up, and he took a step closer, ready to defend Shine's honor. "Back off! She's not interested in you. It's a shams she is only interested in Kincaid “Cole retorted, his voice laced with a war
