The Unexpected Heir Chapter 57: Replacement son.
Bruce's POVMr Dominic paused for a second to recollect his thoughts."Yes ,but she called and told me to give her some extra days. Roxy hadn't taken a leave for two years now,so I decided to subtract it from the leave she didn't take." Mr Dominic informed me, Roxy is a very hard worker."Oh ,do you know where she lives?" I asked before thinking."Do you want to go and visit her?" Mr Dominic asked and I remembered that it would be weird for me to just show up at her house unannounced.If I needed to go to her house, I needed to ask the address from her."No, forget I asked anything ,thank you sir." I told him with a smile and left his office.I think Mr Dominic sent me to go and handle Uncle Dennis' case, so I could see what he was dealing with. Does Uncle Dennis want to give his father a heart attack?I can tell that Mr Dominic is fond of him, so the question now is, how do I make him take a step backwards, because Uncle Dennis is bad news.I need Mr Dominic to understand that he was

Bruce's POVRoxy told me not to bother coming to her house but I still had her home address. I showed up in front of her apartment door with flowers and chocolates, as I intended to do yesterday."Bruce ,you really came here, what part of ,don't bother ,didn't you understand?" Roxy asked me with a frown as soon as she opened her door.It didn't matter if she was upset with me, she looked good wearing her yellow pajamas with ducks drawn all over it."It wasn't my fault that I couldn't show up yesterday, Mr Dominic told me to handle something my Uncle Dennis did." I explained to her and she raised an eyebrow."Mister Dennis has caused another problem?" Roxy asked as she opened the door properly for me to walk in and she closed the door."Yes,he beat someone up." I told her and gave her the flowers and chocolates.She thanked me and she took them."Please sit down, I will be back." She said as she gestured to the couch and she went to go and keep the flowers and chocolates I gave her.I

Bruce's POV:Uncle Owen clenched his fists."I think you should pray everyday that nothing happens to Mr Dominic because if it does, you are as good as dead." Uncle Owen threatened me.I can't believe that someone will be speaking this badly about his father who gave him everything."With the way you are talking ,one would think that you wish your father would die." I told him and he huffed."You can say what you like, I don't bloody care, just mark my words, as you advised Mr Dominic to abandon my brother, you shall be alone with no one to turn to." He told him and I smirked."You should ask your brother Mister Chase, I have been alone ever since I was born even though there were people around me, so it won't be a new feeling,you should leave before I call security." I told him and he turned and left.He should have told his brother to behave,if he actually wanted him to not go to jail,but he didn't ,now he is blaming me for this.My Father and his brother Uncle Owen are just hypocri
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 60: Sole heir.
Bruce's POV:I felt pain in my heart that the one person I cared about was lying unconscious in a hospital bed.I felt anger in my whole body because his sons were not making things easier for me ,because Uncle Owen didn't care about Mr Dominic's health, instead he just wanted company for himself.Roxy was with me working till it was late, she had to drag me to the car herself, because I was finding it hard to leave because there was still a lot that needed to be done.I got into the car and the driver drove off, it felt weird not being the one on the wheels and it felt more weird not having to hear Mr Dominic's voice from the backseat asking how my day went.It slowly dawned on me that I was the only one heading home today. I didn't want to risk going to the hospital now, because I wasn't in my right mind and I didn't know if I was being followed.I called the guards with Mr Dominic in the hospital and they told me he was alright.I got home that evening and I was utterly exhausted.
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 61: Multi billonaire
Bruce's POVI was just staring at everyone and they were murmuring amongst themselves and pointing fingers at me.With the way they were acting, I think there was no way they were going to readily accept me as the new head of this company."I don't care about his property ,but this company is mine." Uncle Owen yelled and those who supported him nodded in approval.When he means this company,it means all of the company Mr Dominic owns ,because they are connected to this head company.Mr Dominic had a lot of properties, so my Uncle Owen was still envious but he knew he could acquire as much property as he wanted, if was the head of this company.I don't know what my Uncle Owen used to bribe some of the shareholders, but I guess they will believe him more, because he had worked here since he was young, but I just came here recently and have not stayed up to a year.Even if Mr Dominic's Will said that I was the new CEO and head of the company ,the shareholders still had a say in who they
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 62: Childhood Nanny.

The Unexpected Heir Chapter 63: Upset.
Bruce's POVDuring the weekend I was at home ,Tony saw that I was upset, because even though I knew that letter that Mr Dominic left you told me to prioritize my safety over the company.I don't feel happy that their company ended up in Uncle Owen's hands.But I will make sure that my Uncle Owen knows that crossing me is not something he should do and expects me to sit idle and do nothing in return.By the time uncle Owen would return the company back to me, he would be in tears. I will make sure of it."You look like someone that could kill anyone that touches you right now." Tony joked as he saw I wasn't smiling ,as I sat down in the living room silently plotting my revenge against Uncle Owen.I rolled my eyes as I slowly looked up to Tony."What do you want?" I asked in an annoyed voice and he raised up his hand in surrender."I was just trying to cheer you up,but I don't know what else to do." Tony told me."Why don't we go out?" Tony asked me and I sighed audibly.I asked him if
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 64: Plans.
Bruce's POVIt was already late when my driver came to stop in front of Roxy's apartment building and I considered going back home, since it was already late.But I was already invited, if I just head back home it might upset her.Roxy has a very complex behavior, so I don't want to get on her bad side.I took the elevator up to Roxy's floor, I pressed the doorbell and Roxy opened the door for me and I walked in."For a minute there, I thought you won't come over." She told me as she gestured for me to sit on the couch and I sat down."Well I considered it ,since it's late but I don't want to get you upset." I told her and she smiled."Have you had dinner?" She asked me."No." I replied."I made dinner, so let's eat together." She told me."I thought you said you don't cook at home?" I asked Roxy and she rolled her eyes.."I don't, but I have a lot of time on my hands now, since your uncle took over and doesn't give any job to you to do." She explained as we worked over to the dining

Epilogue.
**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
