Rise Of Billionaire Bruce Ace. Chapter one hundred and twenty-nine: get the guy.
Claire was furious that she had to share this fancy suite with her mother. This place was meant for couples, not mother daughter duos. Her mother did not seem to care. She was the ultimate tourist. This was day two and she already had a bag stuffed with souvenirs. Claire had not seen Bruce in a while nor spent any time with him. It felt like the entire trip had been planned for them to get Bruce to see her again. Really see her. It was backfiring instead. She decided there and then while her mother rambled on about seeing the great wall of China and how magnificent it was.Now that she thought about it, they had different tour guides. Bruce's tour guide was a round, stout red head woman who liked to call Bruce "dear". They had gotten a scrawny college student who was volunteering, he was always chewing gum and pointed at landmarks with his index finger while his face was glued to his phone. The reaction they seemed to get out of him was the one time he had gasped loudly and he followe
Rise Of Billionaire Bruce Ace. Chapter one hundred and thirty: the tour.
Claire woke up earlier than usual this time. She rose from bed and went to clean herself up. She brushed her teeth and hummed a tune while she was in the shower. She was ready for the tour one hour before the time Maggie had mentioned. Her mother groggily lifted her head while she was doing her make-up and stared with a confused look. Claire ignored her. She began to mutter gibberish."Uhm, where you… where are you?" She said with a drowsy voice. Claire shook her head and a smile almost came to her face."Mom, we both know you are not much of a morning person. Unless you are about to be given a stack load of cash or luxury gifts. Go to bed. I will be back soon, okay?" Her mother nodded like a child and laid back down. A slight snore lifted into the atmosphere almost immediately. Claire shook her head and went to put on her shoes. She put on her favourite perfume and body mist and stepped out of their suite feeling confident. Her energy felt alive and bubbly. She even smiled at the do

The entire group stared at the angry man approaching them with a rush. The chanel lady almost went to hide behind Bruce. Bruce held her hand so she would stay put beside him. "Kate, what the fuck are you doing here?" The angry man asked, breathing wildly. He looked ready to throw his energy on someone."I am on a tour of the city, obviously. What are you doing here?" She tried to put some confidence to her wavering voice. Bruce held her firmly beside him."I am not the point here. You take my child and you take my money. You run away and pretend you are on a buisness trip. How long did you think that lie would hold?"Maggie and Claire can not hold the gasp of shock that escape their mouths. Bruce's eyes went wide and he could not help his facial expression. "I did not take your money. She is my child too. Do not act like you have forgotten how I carried her in me for nine months. Go find someone else to hassle." She began to find her courage and removed her hand from Bruce's grip. B

133"Why did you come here? How did you know Maggie?" Bruce interrogated Claire once they had time alone to themselves in The Forbidden City. He wondered what her plan was this time."What do you mean?" Claire asked, trying to pretend she had no idea why he was asking all these questions was the best option she had. She lived on the fake it till you make it principle. "Oh, you know very well what I mean. Stop playing the fool. No one is here to listen in on us." Bruce said this with a voice that sounded like he was speaking through clenched shit. Claire looked at me and ran her hand across his jaw."Loosen up, darling. Someone would think we found some lost jewelry or outrageously expensive artefact here." Claire said and pulled him to a step so they could sit down. He grudgingly followed her and sat with her."So?" He asked impatiently. He had deliberately been avoiding Claire and her mother. He had arranged schedules for both of them and they were never meant to cross paths, if not

Maria could not believe what Hugh Steele had asked her to do. She had thought this was going to be an easy mission. In. Out. And her bag of cash. She already planned out what she had to do when she finished with this. She would take the money, go to a new city with a new identity, find a job and settle down. It was not supposed to be this hard. Steele's voice still rung in her ears like a ring tune."Step 2, Maria. If you fuck this up, you fall alone. I will not pick you up from whatever trouble Bruce puts you in." He had warned her and she already knew this. She knew when he had approached her the first time through his right hand man. The man had warned her that if she chose to do this, she was on her own if everything went south. It was funny to her how they kept using the word "choose". She did not have a choice. Steele made that clear when he showed her the videos in his possession. He had the power to ruin her life permanently. She was supposed to sneak into Bruce's office and

Claire stepped into her room with a smile on her face. Her mother stared at her with a puzzled look. "Where have you been, Claire? I called, I texted, I went to Bruce's suite. He was not available, which is not unusual. But, you should know how worried I was to consider doing that." Claire twirled a lock of her hair and stepped slowly towards her mother who was sitting on a couch. Her mother's face looked stern and serious."I went on a tour of the Forbidden City… with Bruce." Claire said, with a glint in her eyes. Her mother looked confused."Bruce? We have our own tour guide and how did he even agree to go on a tour with you? What did you do, Claire?" Her mother asked her. She stood up from the couch as she said this."I did not do anything. Just a few things, anyway. I found out he was going in tours too and not just stuck in his room attending to his company. I had to find a way to join his team." Claire shrugged and went to get a cup of water for herself. Her mother's voice trai

Maria was going to do all she could to save herself. No one would do it for her. Not her brother. Not Aurora. Not anyone. She was going to do as Steele had ordered and she was going to stuff her conscience at the bottom of the Mississippi river if she had to. She stepped out of her room. It was midnight and everyone was in their rooms except Nene. Nene liked to stay in the reading room and flip through children stories. Lee said it helped her find some sleep. Something about her grandchild who used to live with her, but died in her sleep after Nene had read her a bedtime story. Nene had so many conspiracy theories about those children stories after that tragic loss. The doctors said it was an aneurysm. These things just happen, they had said. But Nene knew of all the things to happen, it could not have been a brain aneurysm.With the knowledge that only Nene could possibly awake at this hour, she had approximately three hours to find the young master's office so she could get the infa
Rise Of Billionaire Bruce Ace. Chapter one hundred and thirty-six: what are you doing here?
"Hmm, so?" Nene asked, suspicion casting a different glow to her eyes. Maria squirmed a little and tried to act awkward. "So what?" She asked."So, what are you doing out here?" Nene asked, it looked like her patience was beginning to run on a short fuse. Maria nodded, as if in understanding."So, I was… I am going to be honest. I have not been keeping track of my you know…" Maria acted like she was too shy to mention what it was. Nene edged closer to her slowly. "Are you… are you pregnant, Maria? Were you planning to run away?" Nene's eyes widened with each word she said. It felt like she was reaching a conclusion by herself. Maria felt compelled to go with Nene's assumptions. But what would she say when there was no growing bump, no water breaking, no miscarriage, even worse no baby. She thought against the idea."Uhm, no. I am not pregnant. I needed sanitary pads because I am well… I had no idea where they were."Nene's face went from suspicion to sympathy in a split second. "O
