Chapter 25: Guess & Useless
-
Darius zipped his suitcase close, before bringing it downstairs where Amoy, William and Xavier were engaged in a conversation, but they all turned to him, hearing his footsteps and his suitcase against the stairs.
“Good morning.” He greeted them tiredly, they all responded. Amoy’s eyes lingered on him for a second before returning her attention to her father.
“That’s what this whole trip is about? Who told you this?” Amoy interrogated her father, he didn’t seem to mind as he spoke.
“Shawn, the butler.”
“So the men will be tested for 4 days?” He nodded, catching Darius’s attention, “What’s goin

- Chapter 26: Favour & Tip - Darius's P.O.V Dinner went on without a hitch, I was a little surprised Elizabeth hadn't tried to insult me or Amoy. Maybe the discovery of her most prized grandchild's company going bankrupt left her more flush than she was willing to admit. I silently watched as everyone gathered around the piano watching Olivia play a sweet melody. She was also another one of Amoy's competitors, I only knew so little of her, though her parents, Joseph and Kayla never stopped bragging about her fashion business. They said she dressed celebrities like Rihanna and Taylor. I had to admit though I barely spoke to her, she seemed down to earth and friendly, I mean in this family someone who didn't speak to you was as friendly as you could get. My eyes went to the rest of my wife's competition. Zavana stood next to O

- Chapter 27: Headline & Drained - Darius P.O.V I woke up the next day with arms around my body, I smiled down at Amoy who slept peacefully beside me. This was probably the first time I’ve seen her so relaxed besides last night. I reached for my phone to check the time. It was 7 AM, shocking me. Amoy was usually up before 5 or 6, I wondered how long she stayed out on the balcony. I slowly and quietly removed her hands off me, replacing my body with a pillow before going into the bathroom, taking a shower and brushing my teeth. I was in the bathroom for a good 15 minutes

- Chapter 28: Eat & Code - Darius's P.O.V When we got home Amoy immediately went upstairs while speaking to someone on the phone. “How long has she been like that?” Xavier asked as he entered the room. “The entire car ride over. Do you think the news will blow over?” He shrugged letting out a sigh. “I’m not sure. Maybe.” The uncertainty in his voice told me this would probably go on for weeks. “Did you make breakfast? She hasn’t eaten all day.” He shook his head. “I was just about to go out and meet a friend, but I can—” I stopped him as I offered him a smile.
THE INHERITORS Chapter 1: Darius & Amoy
- Chapter 1: Darius & Amoy - Darius stirred the cake batter swiftly as the maids rushed around the kitchen preparing dinner for the family gathering that was being held tonight. "Sir, you should be getting ready for tonight we can handle this." He shook his head pouring the batter into a cake pan. "It's fine Linda and call me Darius, I think we've passed the formalities." She sent him a worried smile. "Well, Darius I'll handle this, go feed the horses in the stable, I'm sure Lily misses you but set the dining room table before you go outside." He departed to the dining hall, getting the bucket and rag from the corner of the room, cleaning the table where his wife's family would be eating. Soon he used the mop, cleaning the floor, once he was finished he went to the stables where he saw his favourite black horse. Darius brushed the horse tenderly, as he fed her an apple. "You're getting so big now." The horse neighed in resp

- Chapter 2: Useless & Queen - William forced a smile, holding out his hand, which the woman took with much strength as he helped her down the stairs. "Mother, you look extraordinary as always." Her smile was tight, she took her hand from his, walking towards the dining hall. "Let's eat." Darius watched everyone strolled into the dining hall, he waited on Amoy and her father, while she scolded him, expressing her disappointment, it was quite amusing since he was the one who should have been doing that, the roles were always switched with them. Before her father even had a chance to speak she walked away going into the dining hall, Darius and William followed closely behind her, "She's angry at me." "I saw that," Darius said as they separated, he sat right of Amoy while William sat on her left. "Thank you all for joining me today." "Grandmother, I understand why you invited us, but why are they here?" Trinity i

- Chapter 3: Lily & Amoy - It was the next day, the sun had barely risen but Amoy was already up, getting ready for the challenges ahead. Darius, on the other hand, was still in bed, trying to sleep but he couldn't, as he had been woken up many times. "You're up, finally." He mumbled something not even he understood as he stretched yawning. " The coffee is yours, I bought you a suit and some new shoes, they're in the bathroom." He looked at the nightstand where the coffee stood, he immediately took a sip feeling his body waking up. "Thank you." She nods painting her lips a dark red. "Did they tell you what the challenge will be?" She shook her head brushing her hair. "Then why are you dressing so formally? For all, we know the challenge could be outside." She scoffs. "As if grandmother would go outside when it's the rainy season." He shrugs looking out the window seeing a group of maids taking horses from the stable.
THE INHERITORS Chapter 4: Who & Daniel
- Chapter 4: Who & Daniel - When Darius and Amoy walked down the stairs all eyes went on them, making her family frown, Amoy wore a beautiful silver knee-length dress that stuck to her skin, her lips were red as usual, her hair was in an afro showing off her beautiful hair, face and smile. "Amoy, darling you look ravishing." One of her friends and coworker, Zane greeted her as they reached the bottom of the stairs, his eyes trailed her body shamelessly. "Darius." Her husband nod in acknowledgement. "Thank you, Zane." She gave him a tight smile. "Can we talk somewhere private?" They both could hear the suggestiveness in his tone, Amoy shook her head. "Later, excuse us." It was no secret that Zane and Amoy were sleeping together, well only Darius knew, it didn't bother him in fact he was fine with it. "Shawn told me this challenge is about business, he also said we should try and secure partnerships, stay beside me bu

- Chapter 5: Obvious & Questions - "Daniel was an old friend, I recently found out he was met by an accident, he's in the hospital fighting for his life but the doctors say there's is a fifty percent chance he'll live." He gave her a look of pity as they walked along the stone path. "I'm sor-" She shook her head stopping him, knowing the words that were about to leave him all too well. "Don't apologize, it's fine but why are you so interested in Daniel?" She inquired raising her sharp brow slightly. "My father-in-law, William, is hiding something from me and when I asked him who Daniel was he tried to avoid the topic." "He did tell me not to say anything to you-" Darius was ready to protest but she stopped him. "But I don't like to listen, so ask me anything." "What did Daniel do for a living?" "His family, the Atwoods are notorious for their jewellery business, I'm a fan of their jewellery myself, each is u
