The West's Secret Heir Chapter 34
Davide looked around, it was like he wanted to make sure they were really in the elevator and that no such thing like an accident could happen to him, especially an accident that Patrick could cause.Though he was well aware that what Patrick meant was metaphorical, he was still more or less alert about what could happen and was prepared for the worst.The elevator ride became deathly silent after those words left Patrick. Davide didn't see any further reason to try to clear the air of the cloud of misconception hovering above them. He figured that no matter what he was to say at the mement, Patrick wouldn't believe a word from him.Patrick had already painted him as a bad person, as a social climber, as an unreasonable, ambitious twat and so nothing he would say coukd change that idea that Patrick has of him.He could only resign and continue with his own work, doing the things he was ordered to do and keeping whatever good ideas he had to himself or if he felt like it, he would tell

Davide had never seen it coming, he never expected that Derek would be there partaking in the wine tasting that was going on.On seeing him, Davide cleared his throat and avoided making eye contact with him, looking everywhere else but the eyes of his uncle.Derek on the other hand, wasn't as chaotic as Davide was on the inside, he really didn't bother himself with Davide nor did he seem even shaken about the fact that his nephew was standing right there in the middle of the room.Derek walked towards Cassie's parents, they were the ones he was familiar with in the eyes of Patrick and the sales attendant."Mr Smythe!" Derek exclaimed as he walked over to Hannah's father and enveloped him in a tight hug."Mr West, always a pleasure" Cassie's father said into the hug.Derek let go of him before turning to Cassie's mother and equally wrapping her in a tight hug.When they finished with greetings, Derek turned to the side where Davide and Patrick stood.Patrick was visibly excited to meet

Davide couldn't stop staring at the office even though the blinds were restricting his ability to see into the office.As the coffee touched his lips, he got a wave of anxiety. He had no idea what they were talking about in there but he could bet his lofe on it that nothing good was going to come out of it.Earlier he had called Patrick a hypocrite and he was only stating facts but he knew that Patrick would turn the story around on him anf make him look like he was thw bastard that was talking ill of his boss.Davide was fed up of the games they played, even if Patrick wasn't the prick he was, Mr Lee wouldn't even allow Davide go just like that. He would do anything possible to humiliate him, to make him hate everything. They preached about loyalty but they were the complete opposites. Davide wondered how many other people had gone through the same thing that he was goinh through. He looked around yhe office as if he coukd see the person that had been wrongly accused by their boss
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 37.
Davide was extremely surprised, he knew Mr Lee wouldn't be able to fire him but he hadn't been expecting that Mr Lee would say something like this.This hatred had sprung up from.his ego being wounded by Davide after he had told his idea to Miss Donalds, it was very annoying to Davide that still, Mr Lee had kept such a thing in his heart like he was a petty bastard.Meanwhile, Patrick was just a nobody who wanted to be somebody and those aspects of himself, he was busy projecting them on Davide. He was jealous of Davide, the latter was loved and had a very excellent physical feature, meanwhile the former was a bit ordinary.But Davide knew Patrick's bitterness towards him ran deeper than that, it was something else that Davide could not understand but he was sure enough that it tilted towards envy.However, he kept asking himself what he could possibly have that would make Patrick envious of him. Patrick was intelligent, he had no tenets but he was intelligent and wasn't that enough
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 38
Davide looked at Zeta's face, her expression was unreadable like a blank paper but to him it was quite funny, he let out a soft chuckle before shaking his head and turning back to his drink.He felt that Zeta was only trying to mock him, probably reminding him that there was only a way out but if he took it then he would forever live his life thinking that he was a coward.Davide read such a deep meaning into Zeta's words. It didn't help that he was so insightful, he wanted to do something else for his life, he didn't want the things Mr Lee and Patrick were doing to him.to affect him as much as it did.He had always wanted to experience the life of someone who works a stable job and would receive a stable income. However, he woke up one day and he was suddenly tossed into this world.He became a billionaire overnight but still had to live as someone who worked a stable job. Davide was not complaining, he was just disappointed over Mr Lee and Patrick. He couldn't even guess that there
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 39
Davide was speechless, he didn't know how to react to what Zeta said neither could he even think.of what to say. The look in her eyes was intense and caught him by surprise.Zeta kept eye contact with him for a while, it was like she hated looking anywhere else that wasn't him and suddenly Davide found himself on a spot.He cleared his throat and broke the staring contest he had going on with Zeta."Thank you for being worried, Zeta. It was stupid of me to make a joke out of it".Zeta cleared her throat too and moved a few steps away from him. Seconds ago she couldn't look anywhere else except his eyes but now, she was busy looking everywhere else except at him."It's okay," she said. "I was pretty intense". Davide smiled at her but she couldn't see, her eyes were darting across the room searching for what wasnt searching for her."I'm gonna go check on the nurse, she should be here already". Zeta walked out of the room, she didn't spare a glance at him, but instead just dashed out o

Few minutes later, Davide decided that it was time that he went back home. He had had enough of hospitals and he also didn't want to be constantly reminded that there may be people who were set on killing him.Though some people might find it thrilling, but he did not. Davide didn't like to be on the headlines of news, he didn't like the thrill of running for his life. Having been targeted just that evening was enough thrill to last Davide a lifetime. He had been shot at, what other thrill could he want for himself.And with the assassination attempt, he was forced to remember his parents. He had not even given it much thought before, it never really bothered him that he was an orphan but now everything seemed to remind him that his parents were dead and not just that, they had been murdered.It could mean that, if their life hadn't been targeted, Davide could've grown up with them. Davide could've remembered his mother for her warmth and his father for his support, he might've even h

Davide watches how Cassie's countenance changed, she didn't look like she was interested in having that conversation with Davide.But the look in Davide's eye was too great, she couldn't hold herself back.Davide saw how reluctant she was about answering the question. He thought that probably there was a huge reason, a very serious one that promoted her to hate Zeta the way she did. However, Davide couldn't think of any at the moment, minutes ago he had introduced the two women to each other and from the way they acted, it was like they had known of each other before. Though cassie had said she usually see Zeta around but it felt as if it ran deeper than that. That somehow, the woman had had a sort of confrontation in the past that resulted in this animosity they felt.Davide was starting to feel very weird, if in fact they had a kind of issue that has influenced the way they acted around each other, Davide was sure that they would tell him to choose.He knew they weren't stupid enou

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
