OF HEIRS AND RUIN CHAPTER 20
At the entrance, the door boy pushed open the glass door for me to walk through. It was ornately decorated inside. Comfortable chairs surrounded tables covered in fine and luxurious looking fabric. It wasn’t where father had sat.My eyes swept the room, it was sparsely occupied by people. I was approached by a waiter.“Welcome to Berry-monte mam. Do you have a reservation?”“Thank you, and no, I don’t.” I replied.“That’s just fine, come with me.”I followed him behind, as he led me towards another section. The lump in my throat remained. I was led through an archway that had realistic looking vines draping from it. The archway led into another section of the restaurant that wasn’t visible from the entrance. I sighted the line of cubicles immediately. A small hope ignited itself in me–at least I was not here for nothing. Fortunately that was where the waiter led me.I wasn’t really hungry, but I still went through the menu and ordered something. I had to look to anyone who was watchi

The vanilla, was my favourite flavour of latte. I relished every sip I swallowed. It was accompanied by a muffin, I took a hungry bite of.After my 10am class, I had cycled here to Cheshire, for some coffee. I spent the last few minutes surfing the internet looking for restaurants that looked like the one father had been at that night.The theme must have been trendy , as a few restaurants shared the interior décor. I viewed everyone individually, I still couldn’t figure out which was actually it. I ran the search one more time.Relief washed over me when I came across one that showed an angled view of the restaurant. The set up matched perfectly with what I was looking for.I took down the address, paid for my latte and muffin, said goodbye to Sean the Cheshire owner, exited the café and hopped on my bike.I looked at the sticky note in my hand, it held the address I had earlier written,‘No.21 Driscol drive, South Brendit’My nerves were buzzing with anxiety as I awaited the uber ri

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

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 stirred awake as the 6am set alarm rang. I sat up and yawned, I turned the alarm off before getting out of bed to stretch. Looking over at Marti’s bed, it was empty and made.“Marti?” I called. She responded from the toilet, “Good morning.”“Good morning.”I made my bed and slipped into my runnin

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
