The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and eight: No need for apologies
There was no avoiding his fate. Whatever it was the world had laid down on the road that led to his success, he was going to survive and surpass it. He would surpass his own expectations. 'So what? She is standing right there so close to me, that's fine. Our destinies had always been intertwined from the start and bumping into her should hold no effect on me. She will definitely have a part to play in my triumph, either good or bad. So I am only expecting more of her.'Ivan tried to convince himself not to be moved by her presence though the words he told himself all seemed like utter nonsense. Their destinies were intertwined? It was all part of his fate? Where was he going exactly?He knew he didn't have a point or rather he made no sense in his head. But that was what he believed. But there was this look in her eyes that almost brought him to his knees. That almost made him break down and fall apart, bursting into tears uncontrollably. What was that look in her eyes? He started
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and nine: The hierarchy of the world
The sky grew darker over their heads. China couldn't help but to look wearily at her surroundings. Houses and shops appeared scantier and scantier until there was none in sight anymore. What is with this secluded area he is taking me to? China asked herself. If he weren't her friend or rather, if they weren't friends before, she would have believed he had had something bad planned out for her.But she still kept at alert. The only audible noises was the sound of their shoes as they kissed the earth. So many times she wanted to ask where he was taking her but she would tell herself to at least trust her friend."I'm not going to kill you." Ivan said like he had read her mind. Though it was easy to tell from the looks on her face. Her mind was like an open book placed in front of him to read easily. "What?" Her eyes landed on him as she asked him. Then her cheeks burned red with embarrassment. Was she that easy to read? Was she really wearing a scared look on her face? How could she l
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and ten: The ultimate power is him
She swallowed hard. She lowered her gaze as she was starting to wonder if she was hearing things or if he had just truly said them to her. But should she really let it phase her? He was in love with another woman anyway. She heard him sigh and it made her look up at him again. "I just don't want to lose you so stupidly. Whenever I think of what we have been through together and you and I have been through a lot!" He admitted with a chuckle. "I can't help but to smile because you mean so much to me. Even when you were dying, you looked the most beautiful and I could just sit next to you and gaze at you all day."She suddenly felt weak in the knees. His words sent a tickling sensation through her body and she almost pulled him into her arms to kiss him. Would she ever though? Would he ever allow it?She cleared her throat loudly. It was a really dry cough. "I... I understand that you care about me as your friend Ivan... I want you to know that I would never purposely hurt your feeling
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and eleven: A rich bath
Roses, lavender and something else. The bathroom had an ever enticing aromatic fragrance. It was probably the scented candles or perfume oil added to the bathtub water. China couldn't help but to wonder, was this the treatment Ivan got every time he wanted to take his bath? But then again, she was a girl and it was her first time visiting. Maybe it was all just to entice her. She dipped her naked body into the scented water and she immediately felt comforted. Every pores in her body gladly accepted the water to wash away her sorrow and the aches in her body. Her lashes fluttered as her eyelid fell down and up again. There was something else about the water, something that seemed to be massaging her body and she could almost drool from satisfaction. Her eyes fell shut as she let the water caress her body and turn her on. She suddenly wanted to be touched. Her body ached for a man to feel her curves and shower her with blissful kisses. Boy had she been single for too long. Her eye
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and twelve: Keen observation
Her brows furrowed as a frown sat on her face. She looked into the water and picked up a rose petal with little water in her soft palm before gently returning it to the water and letting it float. Ivan cleared his throat loudly with a dry cough and sniffed. "I'll let you rest for the night of course, I have a feeling you're still in the bath tub because of me." He said with a chuckle, feeling a bit awkward. "When you get dressed, go over to the dining, your meal is there and you can just leave it of you wish not to have anything for night." He turned around and pulled at the knob but turned back at her again. "It isn't anything heavy though. Since Alfred insisted, I had the cooks prepare you some honey biscuits and tea with a lot of milk to help you fall asleep easily." He explained with a smile on his face. "Uh Ivan?" She called out to him as he pulled the door knob open. He stopped and looked back at her. "Is it okay if I stay here a few more days? It gets a little lonely back ho
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and thirteen: Visiting the birch trees
As fast as it came, the frown dissipated and took the shape of a smile. And even almost like it was never there, he continued eating with the same jolliness as before. At first. It came to Ivan to let it slide but he wanted to be a little certain he could still trust Trevor. So he went ahead and asked the question. "Do you miss your family?" Trevor's hand froze in mid air and the egg on his fork fell back into the plate as his hand slightly twitched. His eyes met with Ivan's watchful gaze and he managed a smile. "Nothing can ever get past you huh?" He asked knowing fully that Ivan had spotted his second of sadness.Ivan only smirked in response.Trevor dropped his fork down into his plate and reached for his cup of coffee. Taking a sip, he returned it back to the table a few inches away from where it stood before and a sigh escaped his mouth. "It's not what you're thinking. I mean sure, who wouldn't miss their own family? But the reason for my sadness isn't because I miss them." I
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and fourteen: Panic attack?
The air was choking. Everything fell silent for a moment aside from the loud pitched ringing in his head. The sound of his heart beating through his chest, loud enough for him to hear and the time fell into slow motion as he felt the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead trickle down his face. As he gulped down his saliva, everything fell into place again. It was only then he realized that Alfred had been calling out his name and now he was protected by bodyguards who formed a circle around him. "Young master Wayne!" He finally heard Alfred's aged voice call out to him.He blinked. "What is-- what is happening? Who is there?" He forced the words out of his mouth. Men had crowded about the bush and pulled put the spy sent to either watch Ivan or kill him. The man was groaning in pain as blood gushed from the hole put through his legs. With such a good aim, if he survived the wound, he might as well be crippled.Everything fell silent again apart from the same high pitched r
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and fifteen: His lover's comfort
Drowsiness was a feeling Ivan hated when he didn't feel the need to be asleep at the moment. His eyes would become too heavy to keep open and he would have no choice than to fall asleep and he despised it. Especially when he felt the need to be thinking rather than sleeping. But as Misha made the suggestion of putting him to sleep, he took the drugs wholeheartedly with a grateful smile on his face. Thank you for wanting me out of my misery just as much as I do. He blesses her in his mind. "The effects will kick in in less than one eighty seconds. Until then, I will be right here by your side if you need anything." Misha commented, looking grateful that he didn't object to the sleeping pills.It had crossed her mind earlier to lie to him about the pills and what they did. 'A white lie could never hurt anyone,' she thought, 'what if I just tell him it's a pill for a headache or something?' But the feeling that aroused inside her the moment the lie sat on the tip of her tongue made he
