OF HEIRS AND RUIN CHAPTER 18
My eyes flew open, as I sat up suddenly, panting and struggling to catch my breath. cold sweat covered me.Since my discovery about my father’s involvement in the Circle, my mind had been a pungent mess. Questions, and more questions threatened to spill out of every pore in my body. Father wasn’t here for me to ask any.The chaos of my mind followed me into dreams.Marti sitting at her study desk turned to look at me, a worried look spread across her face.“You were mumbling and turning in your sleep.” She said.“I’m sorry.” I said, my eyes traveling to the digital clock that sat on my own desk. It read 2:34am. I looked back at her, “I’m sorry for interrupting you.” She looked like had been studying.She quickly shook her head.“You were having a nightmare.” She said. “I noticed you’ve been having them a lot more recently.”I took my eyes away from hers. She had noticed, shame gnawed at me. In a breeze Marti sat beside me in bed.“Are you alright Keira?” She asked. “You can talk to me

ADRIAN’S POV“Archie and Ronald!” Exclaimed Professor Wembly. “Just in time.”Adrian fixed his attention on the one called Archie.Even when his uncle, Ronald Gates, had cheerfully greeted him and pat on the shoulders. He smiled and gave a response, but his eyes remained fixed on the man with the scar across his face.Both men settled into seats as they spread their greetings around those present.As soon as Keira gave his description, he knew straight away who it was. He hadn’t particularly had any direct conversations with Archie, but he had always known that the circle often sent him on errands of ‘important value’. Archie must’ve felt Adrian’s eyes on him, because he turned to face Adrian. Archie gave a small smile, Adrian didn’t return it. His eyes only watched the man, as he imagined what it must have been like for Keira that night.Archie was a huge man, 6’7 perhaps. With a face that scared little children. The scar that ran from the top of his left eye, down his face made hi

ADRIAN’S POVSweat poured Adrian’s face while he worked hard at the bench press. He placed the weight down, and reached for his face towel.His phone began ring. He reached for it checking the caller. He slid to answer.“Yeah?” He said.“You’ve been summoned for a sitting with the council.“Time?”There was a pause on the other end of the call. Adrian noticed.“In an hour.”“Alright. I’ll be there.”The call ended.What could be so important, the elders had to summon an impromptu meeting in an hour, he thought as he made his way to shower. His mind went back to Keira.Soon, he arrived at Blackthorn, making his way to the building that belonged to the Circle.Eva, the receptionist who was always at the front desk waved at him.“Welcome Mr Voss.” She said in a chirpy tone and too big a smile.Adrian gave a small one back.“To what do I owe the grace of your presence today?” She asked, pouting crimson lips, while also leaning over the counter. Her breasts threatened to spill from the tig

I sat on the park bench, watching the phone in my hand, the ringback tone came through. After some seconds, Mama picked up.“Hello honey!” She said excitedly.“Hi mama.” I said smiling.“I’ve missed you dearly,” she said, a little sadness in her voice. “I hope you’re eating well?”“Yes mama I am.” I said back. “How’ve you been?” My voice trailed off.She knew what I was talking about because she took a beat to speak.“I’m okay honey,” she said, “I’ve been hanging on as best as I can.”That was reassuring, I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding.“So tell me about school.”We spoke a length. She was so excited to hear I had Marti. Apart from the slight worry of me being unsafe, she was over all happy I settled in nicely. I didn’t mention anything concerning Father’s case. I wouldn’t do that to her. I told her I was going to be coming home for the weekend. She was so elated to here that.At the end, I was so relieved hearing from her. She always knew how to soothe me when I

ADRIAN’S POVShe was still a light as she used to be. The last time he had picked her up like this was when they were still best friends in high school. ‘Shoulder Jail’ they called it. He’d scoop her and throw over his shoulders when she was being adamant on doing otherwise. Then things were easier and lighter. Now, he told himself he was only doing it because she was being annoying.Right now Adrian was conflicted about Keira and her presence at Blackthorn. He was caught between resenting her for what he thought her father had done, and deep down believing, like she said, that certain things were amiss, and there was a slight chance that her father had been innocent. He pushed those thoughts away.They both wouldn’t be attending this lecture. She pounded her fists on his back, while he carried her the rest of the way, out the door.“You bloody sucker!” Keira groaned, “Put me down right now!”Adrian kept on moving. He took a turn and another. When he had gotten them far out of sight,

I could barely sleep the entire night. Security promised we’d have everything that was vandalized, replaced and fixed.I lay wide eyed in the darkness toying with my thoughts. Marti climbed into bed with me. I adjusted to make space for her, she folded into me.“Are you alright?” Marti whispered.Something in my chest cracked. My eyes began to water. Then everything came flooding out. I broke into choked sobs, anger and hurt ran through me. All I did was cry these days. I hated the feeling of weakness and fear that he engulfed me these past hours. I let all of it out with the sobs.Marti only wrapped her hands around me, while I soaked through her shirt with tears. She had been amazing and all I had repaid her with was awkward moments without explanations, and water works. What gnawed on the most was how I had put her in the way of danger unintentionally.What if she was in when the intruder broke in?My mind went back to the man at the restaurant. I shivered.“I’m sorry I’m such a me

It was just getting dark outside. I watched with interest as Martina did the last swirl of white polish onto the green she had earlier painted my toes.Marti had noticed my mood when I returned from the café looking rattled. She had gotten used to my evasiveness whenever she asked questions, somet

Sebastian stood there, one hand still resting on the table, the other tucked casually in his pocket like he was posing for a magazine.I frowned. A slow knowing smile spread across his face.“Didn’t take you for the coffee-and-secrets type Kiera.”My stomach dropped. I straightened slightly, forci

I settled on the first coffee shop I came across in the city. The bell chimed as I pushed the door open. There were a few people scattered inside, and a burly old man stood behind the counter. I approached him and greeted him, the voice that came out of his huge body was surprisingly soft and warm

I had moved to bed with the contents of the envelope and turned on my laptop. I looked at the flash one more time before plugging it in with shaky hands.There were a number of folders on it. Some about Voss & Pierre Industries, phone bills and records, “Pierre and Voss case”.. I realized my body w
