The West's Secret Heir Chapter 16
Nicole and Davide paused at the same time like they were being remote controlled. Nicole's lipstick was still hanging beside her lips and her eyes were round as she stared at the manager. Davide was in no way different from her. He was looking like he had just seen a ghost. There was nobody in the room that was as unprepared as he was regarding issues like that. Nevertheless, he had been chosen and even though he was only picked because he was hated, he still had to acknowledge the fact that he was chosen and make sure that he brought glory to the department. Nicole, who was beside him, didn't share that thought. She was as unqualified as Davide. She had worked in the department for three years but there has never been an opportunity for her to show her worth. In the first two years, she had been excited to show the department what she could do but everytime she presented something, it was always turned down by the manager. It was later that she realized that the problem was ne

The PM was a woman.She had rich blonde hair, a simple make up in her face and bright blue eyes. She looked to be around the same age as Nicole.A pencil was caught in between her teeth as she scrutinized the people who just walked into her office."They are from the business department, Dawn".She raised her eyebrows, "that prick Caleb sent only the two of you, a man and a woman. This is the first time he's doing something like this".Even though the PM wasn't the man Nicole was familiar with, it seems like they had something in common.They both hated Caleb."Good morning, I'm Davide". He flashed a smile.Dawn nodded her head, "and what is your partner called?"Davide was confused, he turned to look at Nicole who seemed to be lost in Dawn's beautiful blue eyes. It seems that her consciousness had drifted away from her, like she was lost in thought or something.Davide stepped on her foot."Fuck!" Nicole reacted to the unprecedented pain that flooded her body, she took two steps awa

Both Davide and Nicole were stupefied at the words that flowed from the woman's mouth."What do you mean by the drink of death?" Davide asked her."My daughter warned me against it. As it seemed, there's a video that's circulating round the internet of how that drink killed an old woman".It seems like even when the woman meant to explain her words, she managed to confuse the two people standing in front of her more.Nicole was flabbergasted, baffled, she was distraught and didn't even know how to feel nor what to say. Davide on the other hand was like his brain had been washed clean, it was unable to.process anything. Somehow, he needed the woman to explain what she meant in the manner which she would explain to a five year old child."It killed a woman on the internet?" Nicole repeated for clarification.The woman nodded her head, "ever since then, there has been news going around against that drink and many people are advised against it".Nicole chuckled, "did you come to.think th

Davide's frown remained on his face even after reading the text message from Zeta for the seventeenth time in less than ten minutes.Nicole was busy trying to market the products that were left for the cheapest price possible but it seemed like the people around them were hard headed and remained glued on their idea that it was a drink of death.Davide knew that what he was doing was wrong. He was standing by the corner re reading the message over and over again, his thumbs hovering over the screen of the phone thinking whether or not to send a reply to her.He didn't want to seem like he was anxious about anything. He had made a point all day to not check his phone, he made a mental note to not think of Zeta but she just had to text him which made him feel a kind of way.He still couldn't get over their last fight but there was nothing he could do. If that's what she wanted to talk about, he couldn't even guess if he should apologize to her or not."Are you having problems with your

Davide was suddenly thrown into an array of distraught. He glanced at the phone that had been in his hand all morning and as he opened the phone, what he was seeing was the text that Zeta had sent to him."We need to talk".And she was suddenly there, in front of him. Eyes holding eyes and the awkwardness flying in the air."Good, you're here" Dawn clapped her hands as she jumped off the table and approached them."I heard from the outlet, you made sales. How did you do it?" Her hands fell on Nicole's shoulders.Nicole cleared her throat, the scent from Dawn was irresistibly strong and not in the offensive way. It was too great of a thing that sent her consciousness packing, her rationality was flying through the window.Nicole cleared her throat again, "it was nothing really, all we had to do was drink from it".Dawn smirked and led Nicole away to the table to where the rest of the crew were sitting.There were only five in number and with the addition of Dawn, they were six."This i

Zeta nodded her head, removing her eyes from him in submission."Your plan about faking it, I don't think it'll work". She suddenly said.Davide frowned, "what do you mean?"Zeta was wearing a suit, she fished out an envelope from the inner pocket of her jacket and handed it over to Davide."He transferred you to the PR department. The leader there is someone who has an unspeakable loyalty to him. If you don't show up, he'll find out".Davide's frown grew deeper, "then how do I go about this?"Zeta shook her head, "I have no idea, but from the position where I've found myself, I'll try my hardest to look for anything that is out of the ordinary, anything that may expose the reason why he wants you out of this project".Davide nodded his head, "while in the PR department, I'll make sure to keep communication with Nicole so she'll fill me in on any details about the project, maybe there's something he doesn't want me to find out, a latent issue perhaps".Zeta shrugged, "perhaps. You jus
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 22
Davide was momentarily taken aback by what Ethan suddenly said. Then he remembered when Zeta had mentioned something about Derek and Lawrence being friends or something like that, but they surely knew each other.Still, he didn't want to assume anything and just decided to stay on a path that was neutral; neither wanting to believe that they indeed had a sort of friendship nor that they were nothing more than business partners.Davide's eyebrows furrowed, "how long have you known Uncle Lawrence?"Ethan shrugged, "since I was born. He mostly comes around during the weekends. Why are you looking him up?"Davide walked to where the boy was standing. His laptop had been placed on a table before he entered the bathroom. As he approached that area, he only casually closed his laptop to end the investigation of the child."I just had a few questions," Davide said nonchalantly."If you have any questions, you can ask me, there's nothing I don't know about Uncle Lawrence," Ethan bragged with s
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 23
To say that Davide was skeptical about listening to Avery's words was an understatement, he didn't believe a word that came out of her mouth. He thought that whatever she said or did was all practiced and calculated for something better.Avery was a woman who cared only about herself and her vile mother who needed special blood to survive like she was some sort of vampire who could only feed off of his blood.Davide was in the elevator, looking at his reflection on the steel walls and wondering how on earth he stayed years in a marriage that never in any way benefited him. All he ever wanted was for her to love him.back, he believed wholeheartedly in patience, that if he gave her time, someday she would love him back.Unfortunately, that day never came, though he didn't grow tired of her, he didn't regret waiting for so long but what he regretted was putting a full stop on his life just to attend to her needs. He had such regrets because basically, she didn't deserve it; she made fun

Davide and Mr Lee decided to check on the designers. The car ride had been silent, upon the discovery they just made considering Avery and even Mr Lee himself, one would believe they would be talking non stop about it but surprisingly, they weren't.They were both silent. Keeping their thoughts in, wondering if the other would like to talk. "How do you feel?" Mr Lee broke the silence, "you've been quiet, it makes me anxious".Davide chuckled, "I'm just thinking about what happened"."You have a suspect in mind" it wasn't a question, it was more of a declaration because it was the truth. These past few days, Mr Lee could say that he knew Davide to a extent and he knew that Davide had been thinking about this since Avery had said itFor Davide to have been told that he knew who the person was, his thoughts had not been able to settle, the erraticness of his heart was what shut his mouth up. He could not voice how he was feeling, where was hurting or would he come up with what to do abo

Cassie and Avery were no doubt excited about this. Seeing that Avery knew a lot about fashion and knew a lot of designers, Cassie decided that in this secret mission of theirs, Avery was going to be her assistant."I think it'll help tremendously if we were to leave the country". Avery said.Cassie, Davide and Mr Lee looked at her in confusion. They couldn't understand how this would help, they couldn't see it from her point of view.Avery recognized the confusion in them and only smiled before further explaining: "I know Cassie would be the last person they would think to search, but she will still be on the list, they know you guys are together and that Cassie is obviously on your side. So the best way to ensure that they don't find out about this, is to do this in another country".Davide nodded his head, "you're right," he said. "Leaving the country is a good pla

Mr Lee sounded so broken as he talked about his father. When he had told Davide about his family, he never really went into details about anything, only sliding over the surface as he spoke about the things his parents had put him through. He didn't talk about the punches, about how he had to defend himself against them, about how he had felt to see the man he called his father, the man he was supposed to love, the man that was supposed to be his hero turn into his greatest adversary. He never spoke about how those punches destroyed him, he only talked about how his mother's words broke him acting like the effect of his father's actions had not in any way affected him when in actuality it had made him less of a person. He had lived with the trauma, he had received abuses, punches from people just because it felt natural. But he was an adult now and he knew nothing about fighting back. He could not fight back because he was broken, he had been made less by the most important person to

Davide's heart was beating against his chest violently like drums at a carnival as he waited impatiently for Avery to say what she wanted to say. He was anxious, he wondered if Avery was confident in her own answer, if she really believed that she knew the person.He figured that if she really does know who it was that had come for the gold, then he would know that person as well. Sure, Avery did know a lot of people that he didn't know but the list of suspects was reduced to the people that Avery knew who also knew Davide. This attack, this hate was only against him. It was too strong to be said that It was targeted at the people that were around Avery. This person was coming for Davide directly and so he must know them.A fear gripped his heart, he had known for a while now that the person who was plotting against him in such a way was an acquaintance or even a friend, but being met with facts that proved his deductions had been corr

It did not cross Avery's mind that that was a question she should be asking a perpetrator who was clothed in black clothes. She was, however, anxious and also very scared. The physique of the person was tiny, they looked short and for some reason very curvy.Avery kept scrutinizing the person as the two of them stayed in the same position, eyes focused on the other. Avery wss unrelenting, she was not going to back down, she had been trying her hardest to atone for her sins and now that it seemed she really didn't need atonement the least she could do was give back what she had taken. But this person was going to rob her of that chance.It was highly impossible that Avery was going to let them.The person's eyes darted around the room, possibly looking for an opportunity to escape, but it was unlike it seeing that the room was messy and the only way that they would be able to escape was to jump over heaps of clothes or maybe fly, and it was very impossible that the person could fly.Av

The car ride was silent. But it was mainly because they both just got in. Avery wanted to say a lot of things to him but they mostly just circled around the words: "Thank you".She didn't know where to begin, his eyes were on the road as he drove, she wondered if she was the only one feeling this way. It wasn't so hard to guess that he was just being nice, he just pitied her. Though she felt that maybe it was more than that, maybe there was something else but she couldn't really say. She didn't know how to start the conversation. She didn't know how to start telling him thank you.Mr Lee however was more nervous than she was. He was sweating in places he didn't think existed. His heart was beating very fast and he was surely in need of a conversation.He wanted to talk to her about what happened, however, he was worried that maybe she would get the wrong idea, it was mainly that he wanted to talk about when the depression started, when she started to feel like there was nothing holdin

Cassie had not been expecting that Davide would suddenly ask her that question and especially at a time that really wasn't conducive. They had just more or less had a slight misunderstanding, they were still regulating being a couple. This was the first relationship she had ever been in. And although for Davide it was different, he had even been married but this was all new to her.She had had flings in the past, she had had one night stands but never a relationship. She loved Davide, truthfully. She had always loved him and when he came back into her life, it had been an earth shattering effect on her. She did imagine how it would be like to get married to Davide but it was still so soon. It was too soon for her. "I know you might think that I'm crazy that I'm making a very hasty decision but if everything goes south with this then i want to have the experience of being married to you before I die" Cassie shook her head, "you're not going to die." She had wanted to deflect, probabl

I don't care," Avery said, "I don't care if I die, I have nothing, I have no one in this world anymore. I only bring pain so yes, let them exterminate me. I have lived a fulfilling life".Mr Lee's heart lurched at those words. He was the only one other than Avery who had ever found himself at that place in life where he couldn't bother himself to stay alive, the time where he had just left the hospital. Then it had dawned on him that his mother would prefer that he was dead. At that time, he actually wanted to die, he didn't know what he was staying alive for. His family didn't want him, life was too hard, nothing was going his way. He really wanted to die and get it over and done with.He related quite well with what Avery was feeling and he pitied her because he knew how hard it must've been on her to make that decision that she didn't care. She was being brave but also very suicidal. He recalled the conversation he had with Davide, looking at her, he could see the shadow of that wo

Cassie got serious, she adjusted in her car and then looked around to the people who were with her."An address came to my phone" she said, "it said I would find the person who tried to kill my mother there".Avery's heart skipped a beat. If she had been holding a glass of anything, that glass would've fallen down, scattered, never could it be glued together again.She didn't need a professor to let her know that those people had discarded her. Since she didn't have anybody they could threaten her with, now they wanted to do away with her. Avery wanted to laugh, she shook her head slightly, her mother left her, her daughter did and now even these people wanted to leave her. Avery felt like she was no different from a used tissue, once she had served her purpose, she was thrown away into a waste bin.This was the waste bin she had found herself. She was also kind of happy that they didn't try to kill her, rather they wanted someone else to send her to prison. "And of course I didn't
