The Unexpected Heir Chapter 45: Rumors.
Bruce's POVMr Dominic got a little ill the night of the celebration party, so I couldn't ask him about what I wanted.The doctors said he needed rest and I was sure what I wanted to ask him would stress him out, if he couldn't do it.I could only wait till he was feeling better.But many interesting events happened after the celebration party that Mr Dominic hosted. I gained a lot of recognition, but gaining a lot of recognition also meant I gained a few enemies as well.Everyone wants to be in Mister Dominic's good book, seeing as I was already there, people that had worked in the company for long saw me as a threat.Uncle Owen was one of the people that saw me as a threat, as he had been glaring at me each time he saw me in the company building.When I came here recently and no one knew my name, I hardly ever saw Uncle Owen but nowadays I practically see him everywhere, I felt as if he was waiting for me at every corner I turned.I knew that Uncle Owen wanted to talk to me ever si
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 46: I need help.
Bruce's POV;I told Mr Dominic about what Uncle Owen said to me, he told me to ignore him and not meet up with him in private again.Mr Dominic reassured me that he would have a word with Uncle Owen for what he said to me.I thanked him for it."Is everything alright,you seem as if you want to say something else?" Mr Dominic asked as he coughed and I forced a smile."No,I am fine." I told him as I left his office.It wasn't time to tell him about my late wife's case, he is still a bit sick.I have waited for this long, I can wait another week.It was another unfruitful day of coming back from the police station.There was still no lead in the case of my wife even after all this while, it felt as if they were getting tired and wanted to give up, but I won't let this go.I wanted Mr Dominic, my grandfather , to trust me wholeheartedly before I start making any request, but my mind wasn't at ease because the one thing I promised to do so my late wife can rest in peace, I haven't been abl
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 47: Investors.
Bruce's POV;I took a deep breath."Then I will listen to you and wait till I am stronger, then you can tell me the truth about what you know." I said and Mr Dominic sighed in relief."I am glad you finally agreed, don't worry, I will make all the arrangements for when the time is right." He told me."Okay." I mumbled."Don't look so upset Bruce , you will get what you want in the end." He told me and I smiled sadly."I hope I do." I sighed."So, Grandpa, what do you have to say to this? I feel down I need someone to cheer me up." I told him."Then take a break and go on a vacation, when you return you can continue work." Mr Dominic told me and I pouted."But I can't just leave work." I sighed and he chuckled."Don't act silly Bruce, have you forgotten you work for me?" He asked."I haven't forgotten." I replied."So tell me where you want to go ,so I can tell Roxy to make preparations for it." He told me."I don't want to waste money on an unnecessary trip, I will be fine." I reassur
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 48: Unpaid chauffeur.
Bruce's POVEarly the next morning I put on my headphones and headed to the gym to workout, I don't think anyone will be there since it was a Sunday morning.I started my workout and was engrossed in it until I saw the door open. Erick walked into the gym and we made eye contact and I looked away and continued my workout.I know that even though he was on an off-day he will always work out, but I didn't think I would see him here this early in the morning.I was exercising with a dumbbell ,when I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned and saw Erick standing behind me.I dropped the dumbbell on the floor and removed the headphone I was wearing and glared at him."What do you want?" I asked him."I was calling you ,I guess you didn't hear me ,because of the headphones you are wearing on your ear." He said."That doesn't answer my question." I told him."Miriam told me that both of you had a talk yesterday." Erick said and I rolled my eyes."So?" I asked, a bit irritated,that he just ru
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 49: The call.
Mr Chase's POV(Bruce's Father):I was at home in my study, reading a book when my phone began to ring and I took it from the table.I was honestly surprised at the person who was calling me.I answered the call."It's been a while." I said as the call connected."Chase." Owen growled at me.What got him this angry?"Yes." I replied cautiously as I did not understand why he was acting a bit hostile ,when I haven't been in contact with him for a while."What have you done?" Owen asked me and I furrowed my brows in confusion, as I took off my glasses and dropped the book I was reading on the table and dropped my glasses on top of the book."What do you mean by that?" I asked Owen."Don't act if you don't know what's going on in Dad's company, I know you only have a son , Philip so where did Bruce come from?" He asked in annoyance and I sighed.These days Bruce has become a problem for me.Everywhere I go the only thing I hear is scout Bruce."I guess you have met up with Bruce. That ques
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 50: Fishing.
Bruce's POVI was surprised that my Dad had finally called me."What have you been doing Bruce?" He asked and I chuckled.Is that really what he called me to ask me?"I don't want to answer the question you asked ,if you don't have anything important to say then say it before I hang up." I hissed at him."I wanted us to meet up and talk, when will you be free?" He asked me and I rolled my eyes ,as I laid down on the bed.I was clearly not busy, but why would I want to waste my time, meeting up with this wicked man. "I don't think we will be meeting each other anytime soon, I think you should get that thought out of your head." I informed him, because I don't want to get into contact with my toxic family."Bruce, what nonsense are you saying ? I am your father and you are supposed to listen to me ,I want us to meet up and talk, I know you miss our family,you can come back home now." Mr Chase told me, I can't believe the audacity this man had to actually tell me such nonsense.Has he f
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 51: Dinner.
Bruce's POV As Roxy promised we went out for dinner that evening, she was wearing normal suits for work and I wonder if she even went home before coming here. I can't complain though. I thought she would actually decline the dinner request but she accepted it ,so I can at least have fun. Roxy didn't even talk to me too much ,because it seemed as if she was trying to avoid any personal conversation. I respected her decision and just talked to her about unimportant things. Roxy has a complex behavior. I don't know how to wrap my head around it, but I was sure she was a good person. After all, she knows how and when to mind her business.I like that about her. I told her I had accepted her apology since she took me out for dinner as she promised, she sighed in relief and said she hoped we would get along well in the future.
