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
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
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
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. We were still eating dinner when a familiar face walked into the restaurant. Our eyes met and her face crawled up in disgust as she rolled eyes and looked aw
Bruce's povI don't think I am evil, but it's people who bring out the evil in someone.I bought the pizza place from the owner, it was the only way I felt I could help him,since the place was already crumbling.The pizza place can be added to the list of things I told Mr Dominic to invest in, this one he told me to take it for myself.The pizza place was bought under my name and I have hired people to work there. I have saved a lot of money from the salary he pays me. It's more than enough to buy a house but I chose to buy this, since I was still living with Mr Dominic.I go to the pizza place to oversee the work once in a while.I hired a private investigator to investigate my wife's case, he hasn't found anything tangible.I could only just continue with my plans, the next thing in my plan is to buy a mansion, Mr Dominic has suggested he buys one for me but I told him it's not time yet.These days, all I have been doing is going on business trips in Mr Dominic's place and meeting
Bruce's povMr Dominic told me there is land on a good site he needed. The problem was that it belonged to my Father. I know my Father would never agree to sell that land to him, because it was at a good site and very expensive.Mr Dominic doesn't mind the cost of the Land, he sent someone to ask my Father to sell the land to him.My Father, Mr Chase, refused."Let me handle this for you sir." I told him and he thought about it for a while before agreeing.Something was telling me that Mr Dominic was trying to test me to see if I can go against my own father if need be.If Mr. Dominic knows how much anger and resentment I hope towards my father he will not need to test me, I would easily betray my Father for money.That man deserves the very worst punishment and I will show him no respect any longer ,because he has no right to be called my father.I think staying near Mr Dominic has made me understand that Mr Chase was treating me inhumane. The only thing he didn't do, which I know h
Bruce's povI think my father might have already found out what I did, he has been calling me non-stop for two days now, and I haven't answered his call because I was waiting patiently for the fear he is feeling now,to reach every corner of his body.That is the only way I will be satisfied.The only thing I did was to send him a message."Are you ready to hand over the land now?" He sent me a reply saying that he was ready and that I should come and meet up with him instead.I don't know if he thought that suggestion would make me scared ,but I asked him for the address. He told me to come to the hotel room since I refused to come home.He said it would be safer there, I didn't trust him not to pull any stunt, but he knows I have more dirt on him than he has on me, after all I am his walking nightmare.The one he wishes to get rid of.I met up with my Father at the place he picked out.He looked like a mess when I saw him, a sweating mess.Once the door was locked and he knew that i
Mr Chase's POV(Bruce's Father):After my meeting with Bruce I furiously went back home.Bruce played me.I thought my dad wanted nothing to do with me, but he wanted my land and sent my son to blackmail me into giving it up.I knew from the start that Mr Dominic is an evil man, Bruce has not even stayed in his Mansion for up to a year and he was already going against me. What would happen if you stay there for a year then, will I have to run away from fear of the unknown?Bruce refuses to listen to me, he refuses to come back home, to top it off ,he is still looking for who caused the death of his wife and he wants to say I was the one that told him.I don't think that boy knows he is playing with fire, even I stayed away from the matter so as not to get burnt.I thought Bruce was in a better place now. Why was he still looking for who caused the death of his wife? Does he hold a grudge?I think Mr Dominic didn't tell him who it was,so why would I?I can give him anything if he wants
