Mr Chase's POV (Bruce's Father): I didn't think that I would be in this desperate position. It made my heart feel heavy. Thinking about it, I don't know what I could have done differently to change the situation I am in now. I have been struggling for more than five months now, but I haven't been able to get myself out of the mess it is in. My company is in ruins and I was facing a lot of problems. The house was quiet, as I just drank from the bottle of wine I was holding in my hand ,as I sat down on the couch in the living room, thinking about my miserable life. All that I have worked for is falling before my very eyes ,but all I can do is watch. I can't save it and I was hearing rumors about my family and getting threats about getting sued for the fire incident that happened at my warehouse. Even though I lost a lot of money, they wanted to sue me before the fire was caused by mismanagement of the warehouse. I scoffed ,as I took another big gulp from the wine bottle. My wi
Bruce's POV:It's been quite a ride ,but I was happy we got here.Roxy and I wanted to celebrate our 6 month anniversary.We weren't doing anything too extravagant, we just planned on buying clothes and buying some matching outfits then heading back to her apartment to just chill and eat pizza.It was a good plan for me.Roxy was in the changing room trying on a dress, while I sat outside waiting for.I would ask occasionally if she needs my help and she would decline and I would chuckle.I can't help but be happy that I avenged the death of my late wife Dora and since the person who caused her death was in jail, I felt more at peace and I was enjoying my life now with no regret.I know she would be happy to see me this happy. I was mindful to watch out for any sneak attacks from Mr Caleb D Black, even though he promised to let me go and no one on my mum's side has contacted me.I still feel anxious sometimes and I know it would go away soon, but since there was no attack from him ti
Mr Chase's POV (Bruce's Father): The one thing I regret is letting Bruce leave my mansion.If I knew this would happen, I would have let him stay home and never leave.I regretted marrying Bruce off to his in-laws and I don't know how to change the past, because if Bruce's wife didn't die, he would have never become this cold hearted.He would not have met Mr Dominic or Mr Caleb D. Black or his mother and I would not be in this mess now.Mr Caleb D. Black was done dealing with me.He has dealt with me so mercilessly and told me he was teaching me a lesson on how to raise my son.I shook my head.Even though I regretted my actions, even though I wanted to change what I did in the past, it was too late now, nothing could be done, because my company was at the bottom and I was facing multiple lawsuits from my workers.I can't even breathe in peace.They want to take everything I own.They said it was my fault that the fire happened.Gosh I sighed as I sighted my wife who stormed out of
Two Years Later.Bruce's POV:I sat on a bench in the garden ,Roxy sat beside me as her head was resting on shoulder and her eyes were shut as she was breathing steadily.I smiled in contentment.Such a sleepy head.She seemed stressed out, but I was glad the stress had ended and we were just enjoying each other's company now.My eyes traveled from her face down to her hands that were resting on her lap and the corner of my lips turned into a smile ,when I saw the diamond ring adoring her finger.She is mine now.I looked away for a second and looked at the pond in front of us ,as I was deep in thoughts.I just wondered how I got here and how I met Roxy.If not for Mr Dominic this wouldn't have been possible and I thank him each day for letting me work for him and meeting Roxy,who is now my wife.Some things went as I expected ,my father's company went bankrupt and he had to sell his mansion and his properties to pay off his workers who sued him and no one helped him.He still managed
**Sixteen years later** Bruce's POV: I couldn't hear Lisa,my first child and mother arguing about something and then she rushed downstairs to stand where I sat with Mr Dominic discussing what to do about my Father who was again asking for help. It never gets old. He just begs for who will give him money these days and I never help him. "Dad, Mom and I, who is more beautiful?" Lisa's velvety voice made me stare at her, as an unwavering smile adored her baby face. I saw Roxy,her mom, walking downstairs. I think she was listening to hear what I would say because she came to sit beside me. "Lisa, baby, why are you asking that?" I asked her and she pouted and folded her arms. "Mommy says she's prettier than me, so who do you think is prettier?" Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow. I think she knows what I was going to say because she was glaring at me. "Darling you and your mum are equally beautiful." I replied, because I don't want to get in some kind of trouble. "I know you never
Everyone was silently seated at the dining table with their eyes closed as Mr Chase said a prayer.After he finished the prayer I waited for them to begin eating before I took my spoon to eat.It was always rare to eat with them, so I found it strange that I was invited to join them for a meal, but it was alright I could eat something delicious with them today.I dug in as I scooped a spoonful of porridge into my mouth and I immediately spat it out as I couldn't believe how salty it tasted. It tasted as if 500 grams of salt was poured into my bowl of porridge since everyone was eating theirs without any problem.Everyone seated on the table crawled up this face in disgust."Ew...what the heck Bruce why did you spit out your food!" Vera, my half sister, squealed.I heard someone slam his hand on the table and I turned to see Mr Chase, my Father angrily glaring at me."I said it that this ungrateful brat will never accept anything good offered to him!" He shouted at me while pointing an
I got even more confused as I needed an explanation as to what was going on here."Laura I don't understand what's going on here, can we talk?'' I asked as I noticed that she frowned upon seeing me."Do you know him?" Philip asked Laura who shook her head and sighed audibly."He's my ex, please close the door." Laura said grumpily as she rolled her eyes and turned her back at me."Ex?"I asked, disbelievingly trying to process what she was saying but my mind was blank."Dude,I think you should leave."Philip said as tried to close the door but I held onto it , stopping him from closing the door."I am her boyfriend, not her ex . I need to talk to her! Philip, stay out of this!" I yelled at the man as we both pushed the door, trying to overpower the other. Philip, who was angrily glaring at me, was trying so hard to close the door but I was pushing the door as if my life depended on it."Open this door!"I yelled."Philip, what are you doing, shut the damn door before this mad man come
My Father Mr Chase didn't want to listen to me and told me he won't care if Philip sued me for breaking into his apartment and hitting him and that is what Philip my half brother did.When my girlfriend Laura told me she moved into an apartment I was happy for her but I didn't know it was Philip who paid for the apartment.I can't believe she would do something like this to me. I was mopping the floor of the living room as I heard footsteps walking down the stairs and I paused for a moment and turned to the person walking down the stairs.Philip stopped in his steps as he stood still, our eyes made eye contact and his eyes hardened and I noticed him grip the stair rails tightly till his knuckles turned white.I just feel angry whenever I see him so I choose to ignore him but instead of walking out of the house like he wanted to, he climbed down the stairs and came to stand in front of me."I didn't know you were that stupid that you would even think Laura would date you." He said and
