The Unexpected Heir Chapter 59: It won't be an easy task.
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 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
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 65: Brothers.
Mr. Chase's POV(Bruce's Father):I know that my Father, Mr Dominic disliked me, but I didn't know that he hated me to the point that he didn't give me anything in his will."That's wicked, scheming old man!" I hissed, as I was pacing around my study.My Father did even leave anything for his grandchildren or me that was his son, he left everything to Bruce and now my younger brother Owen took over the company and I needed my own share.I know very well that Bruce will never agree to share anything with me , that boy is cunning and evil just like his grandfather.I don't know if Mister Dominic was just teaching Bruce how to be evil ,while Bruce was staying with him.Now, I think the first thing to do now is to fight with Owen and get my share of Mr Dominic's company.I can't just stay empty-handed.I went to Mr Dominic's company building and when I wanted to get into the company building, the security refused to let me inside ,because it was Owen's instructions.That stupid Owen ,he do
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 66: Uncle Owen is angry.
Bruce's POVI saw a pleasant scene of my Father and Uncle Owen fighting with each other.I thought they would settle their matter later but they were already getting into a heated battle.It is good.I think it would be better for them to continue fighting each other, it would be best to let the two brothers fight over who was the true heir of Mr Dominic's company.No one has even asked me about Mr Dominic's health, they know he is in a coma and he might not wake up and they are already treating him as if he is dead ,when he was still alive.I still don't understand what goes through the mind of my father and my uncle. One minute they were harassing me because I made Mr Dominic abandon Uncle Dennis, their brother.But now they are fighting with each other over who will be the head of Mr Dominic's company.I don't even know if I have seen bigger hypocrites in my life.I got into my office and sat down and started working.

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
