The Heirs

Oh what have I done

  Raymond's POV
      "So dad,what next", asked Ava sitting behind my desk .
       "I have to make sure, the property belongs to me before Adrian gets his hands on it", I replied as I poured myself some wine.
            "Well good luck with that as you can see, Richard's a coward, he's too scared to be evil , he's greedy true but it's only because of the atmosphere he is in ,I bet he can't even kill anyone", said Ava
      "Is that you defending him,do I sense your unrequited love for him ", I asked because it's the last thing I want to make my plans go haywire.
      "I guess I will just have to show you how much his every breath infuriate me,Dad I think it's time I get out of here", said Ava as she looked at me.
            "I can't afford to ruin my plans Ava, revealing yourself now will only cause an uproar I'm not ready to control, Richard needs to immense himself in this guilt he is in after all he believes you are only dead because of him and that is how I want him to feel until I get my hands on those property and yes we still don't know who was behind the accident your mom and I believe it's because of her past someone is planning to use you to hurt your mom or at worst threaten her", I replied drinking my wine.
        "I don't care what she thinks,this is my life and I want my freedom back,I want to have my life back dad it's been six years", said Ava.
         "Just a matter of time before you are free to reveal yourself to the world without being careful of being seen my dear",I said.
     "And it's just a matter of time before the Anderson gets to sleep on the streets", said Ava
         "Very true,I can't wait",I said as I watched one of my men sitting in the room next to a computer currently buying as many shares in the Anderson group of company as possible.
        Your end is near James I can't wait to see you suffer just the way Fia did.
    Adrian's POV
       After having the worst day ever I found myself in a bar right after leaving the hospital.
      "Hey man", said Philip,my best friend who just arrived.
      "Is there a ticket I can book to leave right now to a place where I won't be forced to do things I don't want to",I asked as I drank the next shot.
      "I'm afraid Adrian you can't always keep running from this ,you left six years ago and today still this same issue is trying to force you to run away,man you have got to stop running away and face it", said Philip as he ordered a bottle of whiskey.
        "You are my drive home ,what got you drinking", I asked changing the topic.
     "Tell that to your terrible sister", said Philip.
    "What has she done this time", I asked as I licked my lip.
   "After being with her through all that has happened over this few days ,I thought I would finally have another chance with her to show her just how much she means to me but do you know what she did ,she bloody kissed that Casanova Kyle", said Philip drinking.
        "I can't wait to get my hands on Kyle, that's my sister", I said as I drank another shot.
           "It was just one mistake,why can't she just forgive me", said Philip.
      "Why don't you tell that to the bartender she saw you with on your bed the morning of your wedding",I  yelled angrily.
      "I get it, Adrian you know I regret it you know and haven't I been punished enough,my parents business turned to dust the very minute she walked out on me,I get it you know, every time I think about it I keep blaming myself because I ruined everything between us because of one stupid moment of pleasure,I regret it Adrian I really do", said Philip as his eyes turned glassy as he ordered the next bottle of whiskey.
        "She will come around, love sucks you know, now I'm forced to marry the woman I don't love, I never thought there would come a day I will be forced to go to the altar with a woman that is not Claire ,first it was Ava and now it's Cinthia",I said remorsefully.
    "I feel you pal,I can't say I understand the pain you are going through but it hurts me to know that you and Claire's relationship is being broken by this", said Philip as he drank.
         "It badly hurts me but what else can I do it's my dad's dying wish,I can't just say no dad it sucks,so I don't have a choice", I
said
        "Have you spoken to Cinthia about it,I mean she can always reject you ,bro no offense but she is the only one who can stop you two from being forced to marry each other", said Philip.
        "That's true I wonder why she is not saying no,I mean she's not in love with me", I said drinking another shot.
      "I couldn't get much on her it's as if they intentionally wiped out any information about her for about 4 years now except the recent news of her working in one of your dad's company", said Philip
      "Wait why would you research on her",I asked.
      "Because she was pretty", said Philip
  "Oh no don't tell me you thought you could have a chance with her",I asked
    "I was curious,you know when I first saw her I thought she was Joe", said Philip
     "You must be drunk, how are those two identical",I asked.
         "That was what I thought until I did my research and found out she wasn't related to Joe", said Philip.
        "Enough about her let's drink to my sorrowful life,I can't bear to look Claire in the face not after what I have agreed to do", I said raising up the shot.
       "Cheers ", said Philip hitting my cup with his bottle of whiskey.
              I just wish Cinthia will reject me,I don't want to lose Claire,I love her.
