THE ONLY HEIR

My name is Darwin Andersons and I'm twenty three, I'm the only son of the Andersons family and the only heir to the family's riches. Since the time I was born all I've ever experienced was wealth and abundance, nothing less than that, and the advice I give to my close friends is this; nothing is better than having money and spending it, it can be on anything, women, cars…anything, but spend it.I enter into my office and I see Mark waiting for me, he was smiling.“Good morning." He said.“Good morning, why are you smiling at me like that, Mark?."“Guess…"“You know I'm not good at guessing."“Okay, we just employed Lisa George."“Who's that?."“You got to be fucking with me right now man."“I'm serious, I don't know who Lisa is."“She's like the hotest girl you'll ever see in your life, she looks like she's a low key stripper of some sorts but she's actually not, like she's professional, in an unprofessional way….“" That's enough, now, can I see her?.“" Sure, I could ring her desk

I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling, I stared at the ceiling but I wasn't seeing the ceiling. I was reminiscing about what my dad had told me earlier. I was trying to piece the puzzle to get a vivid picture, my dad had cheated on my mum and he got a pregnancy case out of his affair, the only thing to save the marriage was to leave the waitress and her unborn baby, just leave them and go down to Florida, raise me and then come up to Detroit and it was all my mum's idea.How unfair was that?.All these while I had a brother, and I was raised alone, in a giant house, amongst maids and artifacts…and they claimed they loved me and I had believed them, they lied to me, told me I was special, I was the only son, the only one to succeed the family and all it's riches.I tried to put a face to Hensley, how would he look like, talk like, how would he act like…. surely he would want his revenge.I hated competitions, I'm always the best, I didn't need to have to be in competition with h

I walked into my office and I sat down, the office was too neat, everything seemed too much, the smell of the lavender, the formerly gentle hum of the air-conditioner was now disturbing. For a long while, everything was quiet, too quiet, I could hear the sound of my breath, the sound the ruffles of paper made, I heard the sharp tink when I dropped the pen on the glass table. I loosened my tie and dropped it where I had dropped my pen, I stood in front of the big glass wall and I looked down to the world I once enjoyed watching, now all I saw was a myriad yellow cars and people, people that I didn't know. I didn't know people, but, they knew me, they always knew who I was. I looked to the sky and it was grey…sad empty clouds moved along it, where the fuck was the silver lining in the cloud, now?. “Good morning sir." I turned to see Lisa standing in the doorway, holding the door, open, for a few moments I stared at her, without finding anything to say to her.“I knocked a few

“Good morning." She had said, I turned to her, she was already dressed and she was about to leave before I woke up." Were you planning on leaving before I woke up?.“I watched her laugh. She was really beautiful." Come here.“ I told her." I'm already dressed Dee, yes, I was about to leave but I wrote my number on the paper over there.“ She said pointing to the table." What did you call me?."“Dee?."“Yes, like it.““Ohh, that's good."“What if I didn't see the number, Melissa, how would I have reached you."“I dunno." She said laughing. “But, surely you would have seen it, I mean it's just there."“Do you know what I would have done if I woke up and found out that you left?."“No, what would you have done."“I would raid this hotel and find out who Adrian is and I'm going to steal you if I find you with him, if I don't find you with him, I would threaten him to give me your contact, then I would reach you." She laughed very hard at what I had said." What are the chances you wou

Immediately they left, I stood up to leave.“Darwin." I heard my dad call me.I turned to him.“Yeah?."“You're just going to leave like that?."“Yes, when all your lawyers are done, call me, I might come and watch the nonsense, but right now, I'm just going to leave."“You can't just leave like that." He said.“Watch me." I told him and I left.When I got to the office on Monday's morning, I didn't see my assistant, Tracey, at the desk. So I decided to call her. She told me that she was sick and she wouldn't be available until a week later. Mark had come to my office in the afternoon.“Good day." He said when he entered.“Yeah?."“I came to inform you, that the next meeting would be on Thursday, this week."“Okay, thank you." “You still wouldn't talk to me, or take your mum's call or your dad's?." I stared at him for some time and I dropped my eyes back to my laptop.“It's fine, but, I'm hoping that you'll wake up and see that we tried to help you, please, remember to be t
