The West's Secret Heir Chapter 71
Davide looked at Cassie quizzically, he couldn't think of a definite reason why Cassie would say something like that, to him, she must be feeling very delirious to say such a thing and it may be because of the fever. Davide was trying to understand her situation.He saw in her eyes the weakness and how she moved and ate the apples, he knew she wasn't in her right mind to even think of saying something kike that. Derek was his family and Cassie and Derek were more or less, friends and it couldn't be said that she didn't trust him. Their families had a lot of businesses together, making deals, signing contracts and it couldn't be done if there did not exist trust between them. So it was unlikely that Cassie knew what she waa saying when she said it."You must really be feeling sick" he placed the back of his hand against her forehead and as his hand came in contact with her, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she passed out.Davide was immediately scared, he pressed the nurse'

Davide was perplexed by her request. He was keft speechless, he looked at Cassie who was snickering silently. Unlike Davide, she found the humor in it. She wanted to.kaugh but they were in a public soace so she had to put a pin in it. Davide however, was unable to say anything. Cheryl was looking at him like shendidnt just say the most brazen thing in the world. Davide didn't know how to tell her that it cannot be possible. She was looking at him with hopeful, round dow eyes that made her look very innocent. Davide shook his head. He had to say something but he couldn't say anything, his mind was going through all the possible ways this conversation would turn out and making a decision was getting very uncomfortable for him. He looked at cassie for help but yhe woman was only smilimg at him, putting her hands up intending that she wantwd nothing to do with the conversation. Davide reakized that he was left alone, betrayed by Cassie. Davide had no choice, he had tongibe her an an

The directors were shocked at what was playing in front of them. They all rose to their feet and started screaming at Davide. All of them had thinhs to say regarding what they were seeing and their words were not in anyway polite. Davide was lost kn thought, he was shocked, he kept looking around widneeing what could have happened, the screen keoy olaying yhe obcenities that it was and iy was smooth sailing. Davide tried to turn it of but he couldn't. Nothing seemed to be working, no matter the key he was pressing, it didn't stop it. He turned to look at his side and saw Mr Lee standing there. There was a smirk oj his face as he watvhed how chaotic Davide was acting, he loved the idea of chaos, he loved that Davide had successfully disgraced himself in the presence of the authority of the company. It was the best day of his life as he watched everything happening. "You are shameless!" He heard a vouce say admist the cacophony of voices. "This is a great disappointment!" Another vo
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 76
Davide really wanted to tell the truth to the directors, he wanted them to know that the stupid stunt was pulled by Mr Lee, it was very tempting how Mr Lee would look like on his knees begging to be forgiven. Davide had not liked him initially, but now he felt that there was nothing other than a towering hatred he felt for Mr Lee. He was embarrassed to have ever referred to Mr Lee as an intelligent man.There was nothing intelligent about him. He was sick and hopeless and wicked and he was such a menace to the world.Davide couldn't let him go free, he couldn't allow Mr Lee to just walk away even though he pulled the most disgusting prank in the world. Davide was kind hearted but he knew exactly when it mattered to be cruel and this time, Mr Lee had called for it.Under everyone's watchful gazes, Davide walked to stand beside Mr lee where he was still giving his speech. The speech was becoming so long that Davide wondered if he had practiced it back at home. He must've guessed that th

Derek saw the unfavorable condition his nephew was in and as his uncle, it was his responsibility to provide for him the help Davide was in need of. He knew that if he did make such a bold step, the directors may not have his back but before he became the CEO, he was Davide's uncle. He had a responsibility to Davide and Davide's father. He had somehow become Davide's mentor, always coming to his aid when Davide needed it.He saw from where he was standing how miserable his nephew had become. He had his head sunk low, he had shame gracing his features, his eyes could not be seen but Derek figured it no less fit in the equation of pity. Davide was hopeless, if left to him, he wouldn't be able to save himself from the deadly claws of the directors.They were out to get him. Men, older men who were as imperfect as the sands of the earth, were busy judging Davide just from a clip they had seen. They have forgotten the skeletons in their own closet, forgotten that many of them were noy marr

Mr Lee was staring at the man as he held the door of the car. He was speechless, his eyes were conveying more than what Mr Lee could absorb in the second. But he did find traces of reverence, admiration, a hinge of devotion in those eyes. However, those were emotions almost all the workers of the company possessed because to many people, Derek was a mentor, he was a star, he was a good leader and he was leading them to the victory they all wanted, he was leading them to a world where their voices could be heard.And Mr Lee stood witness to this because he had been there on the number of occasions when Derek made sure voices were heard and Davide's voice was one of them. He didn't want to believe that Derek was just simply a good person, a philanthropist, a great leader. He had asked himself a number of times if Derek shared a form of relationship to other employees that he had stood up for so fervently that it made headlines but of course, from the information he gathered, Derek was j

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
