"Please stay away from me, what do you want?" She asked me."I just want to help you,but you have to help me as well." I told her as I approached her and she looked around her surroundings, as if she was suspecting that someone was following her."How can you help me?" She asked me."I know you need money,a lot of money, I can help you with that." I informed her and her eyes widened and she nodded."Let's go somewhere else." She said in a low voice. We got into my car and I drove us out of there to somewhere else that was far away from her workplace. I parked my car in the parking lot of a mini mall."What do you want?" She asked.I asked her to tell me about Mr Dominic's business partner."I know nothing about him." She said, immediately she heard his name and I smirked.I knew she would be like this."Just tell me the truth and I can give you money to help with your brother's hospital bill, don't you want to work with me?" I asked her and her eyes sparkled."How do you know about m
Mr Dominic wasn't pleased to see the man in front of us."Owen ,what are you doing here? I thought you should be at work?" Mr Dominic asked the middle aged man who just barged into our dining table to disrupt our breakfast.Shouldn't there be guards outside, how did he come into the mansion uninvited?The security of the mansion is the best ,so there is no way they wouldn't have seen him coming in.Since Mr Dominic seemed to know him ,I decided to keep quiet but I was alert and watched the man closely."It's not everyday I come back home to visit, shouldn't you be happy that I am here?" Owen asked Mr Dominic whose lips formed a thin line.Owen pulled out a chair from the dining table and sat down beside me."So who are you?" He asked me curiously, ignoring Mr Dominic."Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I asked Owen who began to laugh."Bruce, you should eat, don't let him disturb you." Mr Dominic told me and I nodded in understanding ,as I took my cutleries to begin eating again."Who
Mr Chase POV (Bruce's Father);The driver was driving through the busy road, I could hear the honking sounds coming from the car behind us. It was a very sunny day and I could see the scorching sun was dealing mercilessly with the walking pedestrians.I wasn't feeling hot because of the air conditioner in my car.Life as a poor person must suck.They can't even afford a common car."Drive faster, I am already late to work." I told my driver in a loud voice which made him gulp.Yes sir." He said as he increased his speed of the car.I haven't been to the office this morning because I went to a business meeting first, I was already late for work and the busy road was making me go to work more late.I relaxed in the car, the driver drove for an extra 20 minutes before he came to stop in front of my company building.He opened the car for me and I got out of the car and proceeded to go into the office.I was rushing to get here because there was something that I needed to confirm, I hope
Bruce's pov;I sneezed.Who could be calling my name today?"Do you have a cold?" I heard Mr Dominic ask and I shook my head indicating I meant no."No, sorry it just happened, I don't have a cold." I informed him and he nodded."If you feel unwell in any way ,you can follow me and get checked up in the hospital since we are both going there." He informed me and I chuckled nervously.I don't like going to hospitals that much, I only do it for the sake of Mr Dominic, I can't refuse to drive him to a hospital.Ever since Dora, my late wife died, hospitals are something that I avoid because I hate to admit it but I guess I was scared that I would lose someone important to me there.I don't know how to put this fear behind me, I just hope in the future it gets better.I can't avoid going to a hospital forever,I would need to get checked up once in a while."I am fine." I reassured Mr Dominic.I was driving Mr Dominic to his check-up today.He is old and he needs to be constantly checked u
Bruce's POV;Mr Dominic's eyes were cold as he didn't want to make eye contact with me.I wonder what I did wrong ,all I did was tell Uncle Dennis to mind how he speaks to Mr. Dominic.Was he upset because I got involved in the father-son argument?"You are my grandfather. I can't stand by and watch him talk to you with no gratitude, when you are doing everything you can to provide for him, Uncle Dennis isn't young anymore, I don't think you need to take care of his needs ,when he can work and get money by himself." I told Mr Dominic and he sighed audibly.I hope I wasn't crossing a line by saying all these?I know he has been handling his son for years, I just hope what I just said won't come off as me saying he is doing a bad job raising his son.It's just that Uncle Dennis feels entitled to money he didn't work for and I find that behavior disgusting."You shouldn't have gotten involved,I don't want you to have a bad relationship with your Uncles or they will give you a hard time a
Bruce's POV:Seeing her calling brought different emotions to me. I was angry that I ever met this woman and I was sad that I knew she was calling to say something unreasonable.I know this woman and she has no good thoughts in mind for me, so I won't be surprised if she was calling to laugh at me, because she must think I was in a bad place.I didn't want to answer the call at first , because I was angry ,but I decided to hear what she had to say.I don't know what's going on in their house, I wonder if someone had died because she would never call me to tell me anything good.I answered her call and smacked my lips."Hello." I said and I heard a scoff from her side of the line.Yeah ,she is the same woman I know."I thought by now that you must have died, but you are still alive wasting precious air meant for others." She hissed at me, so she was calling to check if was alive.This is her typical behavior,so I wasn't surprised"I really hoped that someone else would have answered t
Bruce's POVUncle Owen must really want to know what's in this briefcase ,if he actually sent people to follow me.I was driving in circles for about thirty minutes, before I checked my time and decided that it was time for me to stop.I came to a stop in a parking lot and got out of the car ,as I waited beside my car and waited for the car following me to pull in.The car that was following me pulled into the parking lot and I waved at them.I thought it was just Uncle Owen's men that were following me, but I was surprised when it was Uncle Owen himself that came out of the car.I raised an eyebrow at that and I concluded this is the best thing that could happen, I can get this sorted out early and head home.I waited for Uncle Owen and his two bodyguards to walk towards me, because there was no way I was going to walk towards his car and risk getting kidnapped.Uncle Owen came to a stop in front of me."I thought you were going to misbehave, so you finally stopped your car?" Uncle O
Bruce's POVToday was my day off at work, so I decided to just stay at home and rest.I was sleeping on the bed ,when my phone began to ring.I was so exhausted that getting out of bed wasn't an option I didn't want to consider, I didn't want to answer the call because no one calls me on my off day, but the phone was continuously ringing without a stop so I knew that the message the person wanted to tell me was important.I took my phone from the nightstand and answered the call."Bruce, we have a runner." Roxy informed me and sleepy eyes narrowed as the sleep left my eyes.Why was Roxy calling me on my off day, isn't Ivan or Erick available?I asked Roxy about Erick and Ivan and she told me they were already working on the case, but I had to join in because the case was of utmost importance and the person wasn't still found.Roxy sent over the details of the man I needed to find.I don't like playing cat and mouse, but the company building was a mess and this man needed to be found.
