The Hidden Billionaire Boss

CHAPTER 7

THE TRUTH UNVEILED

The taxi driver pulled over in front of the big gates of the duplex.

Bruce got out of the car and stared at the building.

He walked towards the gate, and before he could even knock, the gate was opened for him to enter.

The security guy smiled and saluted him.

Bruce nodded in response and walked in.

He looked around the big compound with a smile on his face.

Just yesterday, he had entered this same house with a frown on his face and a lot of questions on his mind.

But now, even though he was not a hundred percent sure of what he was doing, he felt at ease and at home being here.

……………..

The Previous Day.

Bruce sat in the car of the stranger he had just met.

He had not him because he wanted anything, but because the man seemed to know someone who could give all the necessary answers.

Now that his mother was dead, maybe this was the right time to meet his father after all.

The journey to the destination was thirty minutes.

Bruce got impatient and somehow scared, knowing that he was among two strangers and anything could happen to him. However, he was determined to find out who wanted to see him, so he kept his calm.

Soon enough, they took a turn into a villa. Bruce recognised the villa at once to be for Martclint, the billionaire.

He had seen shots of the huge villa on TV and sometimes in newspapers, so he was able to recognise it in real life once he saw it.

He suddenly realised that the man beside him was not a scam after all.

He began to feel uneasy at once as a series of thoughts began playing in his mind.

“What if MartClint was his father, like the stranger had said? What if he was the very son of the billionaire?

What if his mother only tried to hide him from his real identity?” All of these questions replayed over and over again in his head as they approached the main building.

Before he could realise it, the car stopped.

Bruce looked outside and saw that they had already entered the mansion, and the car had parked.

“We are here, sir,” the man announced as he got out of the car.

Bruce nodded and opened the other door to walk out.

He took a quick look around. The place was extravagantly beautiful and befitted the status of a billionaire. 

Bruce looked around him in amazement, seeing the types and makes of highly expensive cars parked in the shed set as a garage. He counted up to ten cars and could tell there was more inside that he could not see.

The place was heavily guarded, and one could see armed security men around every single time.

“This way, sir, the boss is upstairs, waiting for you,” Bruce heard the voice behind him.

His heart began to pound faster, and he felt anxious all at once.

He followed like he had been told as they approached the entrance of the main door to the mansion.

A guard at the door opened the door for them, and they entered.

They walked down a short hallway and got into an elevator.

Bruce looked at the interior of the floors as they passed. Everywhere was clean, and the building itself was magnificent.

And as if that were enough, there was a security guard on every single floor.

There were five floors in total, and the elevator took them to the last floor.

Bruce followed the man out and into the hallway.

Two security guards were in the hallway, and they all saluted the duo as they passed by. They finally came to the last door in the hallway.

The man knocked on the door, and a voice from the inside told them to come in.

The man opened the door, and they both entered.

Bruce could not believe his eyes.

He was standing right in front of his childhood role model! MartClint.

His eyes popped out in disbelief.

The man looked up at him with a short smile on his face.

“I am here with him, sir. '' The man said and bowed a bit to show respect.

MartClint nodded, and the man left him alone in the room with MartClint.

Bruce looked around and realised that the place was a study. He looked at the man standing right in front of him.

“Sit down, Bruce,” MartClint said.

At this point, Bruce was already blank and had nothing in mind.

All the questions in his mind seemed to have escaped from his mind, and he looked like someone who had seen a ghost.

MartClint could see he was blank and only kept staring at him.

He sat on a couch right opposite Bruce and heaved a sigh.

“ So…” MartClint began.

“Firstly, accept my condolences on the death of your mother.

She was a great mother to you and a great wife to me,” MartClint said.

It looked like the statement from MartClint was the one Bruce needed to restore his sanity and his voice.

“She was not your wife!” Bruce retorted.

It was obvious that the topic of his mother had lit up a flame of emotion in him.

MartClint paused and looked at Bruce.

He noticed the sudden change of emotions in him.

He nodded and kept quiet.

Bruce already had a tear dropping from his eyes, and his eyes had suddenly turned red.

“If you cared about her, you would not have abandoned us!” Bruce said it emotionally, teary-eyed.

MartClint nodded and picked up a tissue box from a table beside him.

He offered it to Bruce, and Bruce took it without any questions.

He wanted to keep a straight face, but it seemed like the mention of his mother had brought a sudden, uncontrollable feeling to him.

“I am sorry for your loss, son, but I did not abandon you and your mother. I was in touch with her until today, and I can tell you that I was the first to be notified about her death,” MartClint said.

Bruce looked up at him and shot him a deadly stare right in the eye.

He saw the seriousness on his face and the sudden change in his face.

“ What!!” Bruce exclaimed in shock.
