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
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 42
Davide was so shocked he couldn't move from the spot he had found himself, he was wondering how come that Avery found out his house.He panicked, he had no idea what to do or how to react to everything that was happening at the moment, he couldn't process it.He turned to Cassie who was looking at him weirdly, she must've thought that it was weird that there was a woman who was calling him, yelling his name kike he owed her a debt or something.Davide himself started to wonder if he had actually stolen Avery's money or some property she owned."What's going on?" Cassie asked him.Davide looked through the door then looked at Cassie, he had no idea what he should say to her and was just watching her dumbfoundedly."Davide! Davide!" The screams got louder and angrier and Davide was about to lose it, he didn't know how Avery found the house or what she wanted from him. He was utterly confused about what to do.The screams did not stop and actually got quite annoying. Avery was a very st
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 43
Avery stood with her hands in her waist, her eyes fixed on Cassie as they were both walking towards her. Avery was obviously angry at seeing Cassie and the questions bubbling in her heart before were now intensified.She began to wonder what sort of relationship Davide had with Cassie that prompted them to spend so long hours together. Avery had seen them at the hospital and now they were together in this mansion.She was wondering if there was something that was going on between them, that maybe they had been doing some unholy things in the house before that was why the guards had refused her from going inside.With this suspicion in her heart, Avery scrutinized Davide's appearance as he was walking towards her. His clothes didn't look like they had been hurriedly worn but there was a noticeable tear on one of the sleeves and from there she could see the outlines of a bandage wrapped around his hand.Avery was shocked as she stared at him, worry surged in her heart but she would rath
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 44
Cassie evidently did not appreciate how the whole situation had gone. She had been angry even before they worked out and now she was standing before Derek whtonhad called her a Nanny.Seeing Avery standing there with the people she was familiar with, Cassie was not pleased, her anger was surging within and she looked like any moment she was going to erupt like a volcano. She had so much on her mind and these people were not allowing her to have a few moments to herself.She had rushed to the house after hearing about what happened with Davide and left all that she was doing just to arrive here and be insulted by not just Avery but Derek also.She understood that the reason why Derek had called her a nanny was because they really wanted to keep Davide's secret from the public but Derek could've at the very least decided not to give Avery any reply because he didn't owe her one.Cassie felt very bad.And it was not helping that Avery kept laughing like she was high on serotonin. She lik
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 45
Davide couldn't believe what Cassie was saying. He could process her words. Davide could admit that regarding his parents death, he was a bit sensitive. He knew nothing about his parents, all the memories he had of them had been completely wiped away and now he just sees their pictures and they feel kike complete strangers not the people that birthed him.He had always thought that even though the police didn't catch the person who killed his parents, that person would be millions of miles away.However, suddenly Cassie was talking about them and not just that, she was insinuating that the person was close by and not just that, the person worked in the company.Davide couldn't even fathom the person's motive for killing his parents, the more he thought about it, nothing made sense to him. The person was obviously not close to him but if Cassie's words were true, then that person was calculative.It could be that it was the same person that had tried to kill him. Davide had hated assum
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 46
Davide left Zeta alone, he didn't understand why she had been behaving like that, why it seemed like Cassie was such a bother to her.Davide could not allow himself indulge in the mystery of Zeta's issues, he had other things to keep himself busy with, he was late to work and he knew when he got there he would be forced to stand outside for maybe an hour or two and it might be that today he wouldn't be as lucky as the other day when Miss Donalds came in and saw favor in him.Now, Davide had to live through the excruciating experience of standing outside for hours.He hadn't slept well the night before because he had been worried about Cassie and was thinking of a way to apologize to her and get her to forgive him and so he woke up late, he had decided at first that he would just call in sick but that would mean putting up with Zeta all day and he wasn't really cut out for jt so he had no other choice but to go to work where he would be far from Zeta.However, at work he was equally fa

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
