The West's Secret Heir Chapter 96
Avery was feeling all sorts of emotions. She couldn't name one of them but she knew they existed inside her. It's been a whole day and she never left the house. She couldn't even bring herself to take her bath. She couldn't eat anything, it wasn't as if she even propelled herself up to enter the kitchen to cook. Avery was quiet, only staring at the bag of gold on her bed. Underneath the state of angst, there was a feeling of emptiness.She felt unbelievably empty.It's been twenty four hours since she stole the gold. When she was doing it, she didn't know that she possessed such strength, stealth or even wisdom to pull off such a heist. Though all the information about the whereabouts of the gold and the time she should be there was given to her, she still had to rely on her ability to take what wasn't hers. She had seen the clothes of the workers moving the gold. They were simple and looked very humble. One of them kept talking about his girlfriend and the other one was painfully s

Davide couldn't recall how he had fallen asleep but when he woke up, he was still in the clothes he wore yesterday. He must've been so tired that he couldn't change out of his clothes.He groaned and looked at the digital clock that stood on his nightstand, it was fifteen minutes to seven in the morning. He didn't bother himself with rushing to get dressed.He was the boss, he could come in to work at any time.However, he was instantly reminded of the problem he was facing at work. Davide lost his will to live.With his face buried in the comforters of his bed, he groaned. He didn't know if he had cried last night but he was sure that his eyes were suddenly moist and the comforter was starting to get wet.His life seemed to be a rollercoaster of misfortunes. He couldn't place his finger on one time in his life that he was truly happy and not rueful. No, his life was quite pitiful.He didn't want to go to work. The problems would be waiting for him. He didn't want to leave to do wha

Beatrice had been worried about her daughter. She knew that Avery had taken a leave from.work after the incident that Davide had saved her from. Ever since that time, Avery had been quite frequent at the hospital. She wouldn't go home unless she had some things to bring back. She was always with her and did the most for a child who didn't receive the most. Beatrice had been thinking about Avery since that day she heard those words from those other women. She knew that as a mother, she clearly did not deserve a daughter like Avery but somehow, out of some miracle, she had been blessed by God with a daughter so amazing. She was well aware that most people that Avery knew would call her hard hearted, they would oftentimes refer to her as a bad person or a cold and shameless person but she knew her daughter, rather, she had known her daughter best. When Avery was a teenager, she thought her favorite colors were black and pink. It was after Davide showed up with purple lilies and she in
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 99
On his way over, Davide had been planning all sorts of things. He couldn't guess where Avery was nor where to start looking for her but he thought consoling Beatrice while they waited was enough. However, Avery was standing in front of him. His gaze went past her and landed on Beatrice, "is this some kind of a joke?" Beatrice saw the look on his face. If she wasn't a repentant, she definitely would've attacked him, probably saying something in the lines of: "can you not see she just arrived?" However, she waved her hand in the air and quickly made her way over to stand in front of him, "no, seriously, she wasn't here before, she just came back". Davude saw that something in Beatrice changed, he couldn't find the scowl, nor did he see the displeasure that usually took over her appearance. He couldn't guess what was wrong with her. Whatever is wrong with her was none of his business Avery was actually the same, she stood behind Beatrice and saw how her mother was waving her hand i

Davide had a look of sheer confusion on his face. He wanted to understand that she was having a hard time, from what Beatrice had told him, he could estimate that she lost the baby either last night or this morning. However, he couldn't place where his fault was. He wasn't the one who had downed drugs they shouldn't be taking, he was the one that fell from the staircase. He had lived with her accusations, calling him a gigolo, a cheat, etc. But he would not stand and let her accuse him of killing their child. It was unfair to him. He had suffered greatly in that marriage and now he had his freedom, he was going to be blamed for the death of their child? He was also grieving too, although he wasn't the one who carried the child, nevertheless. It was his child. Just like him, she also never wanted the baby. She wanted an abortion but he had negotiated his way to securing the life of that child and now she had killed it and she wanted to blame him. "What do you mean by that?" Davide
The West's Secret Heir Chapter 101
Mr Lee was surprised. He looked around the cemetery even though he wasn't sure what he was looking for. He was shocked to see Davide and even more shocked after hearing the words that left his boss.He had ensured that it was when Davide was unavailable that was when he would leave. He always spent this day like this every year. Nobody knew what he left the office for and it wasn't like they could even ask.He knew if he had just told Davide he was going to see his mother the man would let him. But Mr Lee hated talking about his mother. He had memories of her that he wanted to burn. "Why did you follow me?" He asked.Davide took a deep breath and read the name imprinted on the stone, "Lee ho Jun""Who was she?" Davide asked.Mr Lee saw that he blatantly ignored his question. He didn't want to say anything to Davide about his mother. He knew if he told Davide who she was to him, he would pry more for answers.However, he was obligated to give Davide a reply, "my mother".Davide nodded

Cassie didn't know how come but she eventually crossed over to where her Meghan was laying there bleeding from all sorts of places.A crowd had formed and nobody there knew that Cassie was Meghan's daughter. They were all talking over each other, mixed with the honking sounds from vehicles, Cassie felt like dying on the spot. She walked through the crowd and saw her mother. Many people were only looking at the body while there were some who were generous enough to call for an ambulance. Cassie went on her knees and pulled her mother into her arms.Meghan was breathing slightly.She wasn't dead yet but it didn't mean she was out of the woods, however, it was enough to give Cassie hope. Tears slid down from her eyes as she held her mother tightly, she ran her now blood red stained fingers over her mother's face to dry the tears, though she was also crying.Cassie had succeeded in gaining the curious gazes of everyone. Some people were even irrational enough to pick their phones to st

To tell the truth, Avery had been slightly grateful that this job had nothing to do with Davide. She thought that maybe this person had something against a number of people and it just so happens that Davide was included.All those thoughts disappeared when she saw Davide running into the hospital with a man following right behind him.She didn't know how to feel but she wanted to kill herself.She couldn't take the heavy boulder of guilt pressing down at her anymore. She wanted to tell Davide, to inform him that somebody was out to get him. She wanted to give him at least a little information that would explain a lot of things to him but she didn't know how to go about it. She figured this anonymous person had someone watching over her. When she had talked to Davide then, they had reprimanded her. They had found out and it could only be because she was being followed.She needed to be stealth about it.She scanned the parking lot, there were a number of cars around so she couldn't g

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
