The West's Secret Heir Chapter 26
Time flew by Davide and he was only brought back to reality by the sound of his stomach grumbling. It was only then did he realize that he had not had anything to eat all day and it was already lunch time.Davide stood up from his seat. He had been given a desk by Mia a few hours ago where he started working.The desk was medium sized and it was located by the best place in the whole department, a large window was positioned behind him and Davide could not be more grateful for the light and the view.The desk itself had a transparent cover in front of it where the computer sitting on his table rested on. There were several magazines on his table and also messy artworks that he had been scribbling so he could come up with an idea of what would be on the banner.His trip to the cafeteria was ruined by the sudden appearance of someone. Davide, who had been initially typing away on his phone whilst making his way to the cafeteria stopped when he saw a pair of black shiny, expensive looki

Davide found it exceptionally hard to peel his eyes from Cassie. The way her bright blue eyes stared at him with a soft, shy smile on her lips captivated him.For a moment, Davide forgot himself. It had to take Derek's hand on his shoulder to jolt him back to reality and remember that he was still in the midst of people and not just anyone but Cassie's parents.Davide forced out a smile, trying hard to cover up the embarrassment he was feeling. He stretched his hand out to Cassie; "Nice to meet you, I'm Davide".Cassie giggled lightly, but she took his hand in her own in the most graceful manner, "I know who you are".A confused look appeared on Davide's face, a poor show of the actual turmoil of discombobulation in his head. "I don't understand, you know me?"Cassie smiled at how ignorant Davide was, she only nodded her head at him, giving Derek the leeway to explain to his nephew how it is that they were acquainted without Davide's knowledge."Mr and Mrs Smythe are actually very go

Davide's finger hovered over the screen of the phone. He was visibly contemplating whether to answer or not.He had seen her earlier, his curiosity was eating at him, he pondered over every possible reason why Avery would be calling him all of a sudden.Cassie probably noticed his reluctance to answer the call. It ignited her inquisitiveness, "It seems you don't want to talk to her". Her voice brought Davide back to reality from the train of thoughts he had boarded. He chuckled slightly and shook his head, "that's not it" he lied. However, he answered the call."What took you so long to answer the phone?" Avery's irritated voice came through the phone.Davide who had had no intention of answering the phone before was suddenly tossed into a sea of regrets by her words.He walked away from where Cassie was, bringing a reasonable distance between them so she couldn't hear his conversation with Avery."Avery, what do you want?"It seems she recognized the annoyance in his voice, she cho
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 29
Davide's appearance was solemn as he was taking the time to himself to understand the words that Avery had vomited out of her mouth. He could find it hard to believe that Avery wanted him to quit his job just so he could come back home. He knew she was saying this not because she loved him but because she just wanted to feel more powerful than him. She didn't want him to feel like he had the power to say a thing in their marriage.Meanwhile, Cassie's eyes were focused on Davide, she saw the look of resentment and stifling anger he was feeling. The lines between his eyebrows were a scattered reflection of his simmering rage. Cassie cleared her throat attempting to answer the question that Avery had asked, but as she opens her mouth to speak, Davide's voice came from beside her:"How can you say something so stupid? I know you to be an ungrateful person but I don't know you to be a dimwit".Avery's face contorted into anger, the underlying emotion was shame. Davide was insulting her i

Both Davide and Cassie were both thunderstruck by Avery's outburst. However, unlike Davide who ventured into the hostile lane, Cassie found the humor in what Avery was talking about.She laughed out loud in mockery.Davide on the other hand, had had his fill of Avery's attitude towards Cassie. He knew that Avery probably thought that he was in a sort of relationship with Cassie and it pained him that Avery thought that way of every woman who was standing beside him.She made that assumption with Zeta and now Cassie had to suffer from the same assumption.Davide was sick and tired of Avery's bold assumption and she had successfully attracted the attention of everyone who was simply passing by. They all stopped as they watched the three of them. Davide did not necessarily blame them because this sort of drama was not quite frequent in the hospital so he could pardon their curiosity. However, for Avery he was fed up. He wasn't to get rid of her and the faux marriage they were in."Avery
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 31
Davide woke up with a jolt and a gasp, he immediately turned to the alarm clock resting on his nightstand and saw that the time read: 6:49am.Davide was flabbergasted at the time of the day. He guessed that it might've been because of the hectic night that made him too lazy to get up earlier or even hear his alarm ring.He didn't think he had any time to waste as he ran into the bathroom immediately to get cleaned up and ready for work.This was the first time that Davide was appearing late for work and he had no time to prepare anything kike he usually did before. Now he only ran out of the bathroom and threw on the first proper clothes he could find.His hair was wet and his face was dry as he didn't bother applying any moisturizer for his skin or his lips, he left his hair uncombed as he ran out of his room.What he saw on the staircase was Zeta and Derek conversing with each other.He wanted to say hi to the two of them but he was in too much of a hurry, he didn't have the luxury

The board member looked around and got back to himself, he straightened his jacket, obviously thankful that nobody has seen such a thing take place.Davide on the other hand, gave him a quick scrutiny before rushing into the office with the bag in his hold. He was so precise about following orders that he held the bag against his chest with his arms wrapped around it.Whoever saw him with the bag would be compelled to think that the bag was the most expensive thing that Davide had ever held in his life. He saw ahead that the lady was joining Mr Lee in his office and so he also followed right after them. The office was not really big, the walls were made of see through glass and the desk was in the middle of the room, just like the wall, the desk was also glass. There was a picture on the desk and a laptop and a few other, well arranged files on the table.Mr Lee gestured to a chair and spoke to Miss Donalds, "please have a seat".Miss Donalds smiled at him and took the seat. Her smi
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 33
Miss Donalds smiled at Davide before turning to Mr Lee, "this is the kind of talent I love seeing, Mr Lee. He's a keeper and he will take our company places".Mr Lee chuckled lightly, "our company is already going places".Miss Donalds laughed a bit, probably seeing the humor in his words. "You're so funny, Mr Lee''.Mr Lee laughed but said nothing, his eyes fell on Davide and the smile on his face stiffened as he stared at Davide. He looked at him like Davide had done some grievous sin but he couldn't express his emotions.Miss Donalds rose to her feet, "I think it's time I returned to my office and run this new idea by the board members, I'm pretty sure they'll like this idea of yours, Davie. Thank you for making my work easier and I hope I get to see you again".Davide smiled, he tried to put the glare he got from Mr Lee behind him but everytime he glanced at Miss Donalds or remembered that he was still in the four walls of Mr Lee's office, he couldn't."It's my pleasure," he said.

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

Chapter 131
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
