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

    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.

Well it has already been proven that he is my father.When everybody in the meeting asked him to check if I was his son or uncle Owen's son , he just looked the other way and didn't reply.Uncle Owen was asked if I was Mr Chase's son again,he laughed."Who else will be so irresponsible ,as you go and cheat on his wife outside and have an illegitimate child? It's only my brother Chase, I thought you would say it with his own mouth that's why I didn't say anything ,but I guess you don't want the people here to know his dirty little secrets." Uncle Owen jeered at Mr Chase.Mr Chase my father said nothing more, but kept glaring daggers at me. I wonder if you expected me

    Bruce's POV:I walked out of the conference room and got into my office and I sat down. I started work and my phone on my desk began to ring.I wasn't surprised when I saw my father , Mr Chase calling.I smiled, as I answered his call."How dare you Bruce?" He asked in a loud angry voice."If you don't want me to tell the truth about who my Father is, you should have cooked up a lie and told them, since you are so good at lying." I told him.If he had said anything about who my Father was when they asked the question, I wouldn't have had to reply, so this was his fault."Why couldn't you have just lied and said something else ,why didn't you say that Owen was your Father?" He asked me and I raised an eyebrow.He actually expected me to lie when Uncle Owen was there and could easily say that I was lying, I don't know why this man is acting this stupid."If you are telling me to lie, you could at least cook up a believable lie, Uncle Owen could have easily said I wasn't his son." I told

I guess I need to remind him that I wasn't one to be messed with, but he can have his way for now, his nonsense insults are the last thing on my mind.I have already begun to dig up dirt on my Uncle Owen, I was sure he was hiding a lot.I know my uncle Owen is money hungry, so he would do anything for extra money.Erick was the one looking into what my uncle was doing. I am sure he would give me something to work with soon, these days have been so hectic that I haven't even gone to meet the private investigator that was investigating my wife's case.The last time we spoke ,he told me he hadn't found anything reasonable.I wasn't even annoyed with him ,because even the police haven't found the

    Bruce's Pov:The weekend rolled by in a jiffy and I was honestly looking forward to going to work.At work, during our break I went to sit outside to get some air ,since the company building had a garden in the office where you could sit down and rest.There are few people here because only the Bosses come here to rest.Nana, my childhood nanny called me while I was resting."Hello Bruce, is this you?" She asked and I smiled."Yes Nana, it's me." I replied in reassurance to her question."Finally , i have gotten to hear your voice , I looked into what you asked me to, I was trying to find any information about the woman who hired me to be your nanny, I found the phone number that she gave me back then, I saw it written down in one of my diaries, when I call the phone number, it was disconnected so that is a dead end." She informed me sadly and I sighed.I wasn't actually looking for my mum, but hearing this from her made me get disheartened.I knew it would be hard to find my mother f

    Bruce's POV:After the break a shareholders meeting was scheduled.I thought about whether I should bring out my latest findings at the meeting. I know that if I asked someone else to do this, it would be putting a target on the person's back and my Uncle Owen might retaliate in a bad way ,so I decided to do it myself.In the shareholders meeting ,I told them that I had something important to say ,because since I was not handling anything important, I had been looking at the company's finances to learn more about handling money, but I found a big mistake in the income given to the shareholders.When I mentioned money my uncle became nervous and the shareholders we are now listening attentively to me.No one jokes about losing money, especially buisness men."What did you find out that was wrong?" One asked me.I passed five paper copies of the income they were supposed to be paid to them and the income they are being paid.The papers showed that my Uncle Owen wasn't paying them the m

    Bruce's POVI didn't want to bother Nana, so I decided to ask Roxy what to buy as a gift for the baby shower ,since she was always going on errands like wedding celebrations for Mr Dominic."Baby clothes should be a good gift to buy, that is what I would suggest." She informed me, but I didn't like that idea very much.Baby clothes are just too simple.I know that if Mr Dominic was awake, he would want to buy something really expensive as a gift."What about a baby stroller?" I suggested."That is also a very good gift to buy. I suggest you buy both of them. If you don't know which one to pick from ,a new parent needs all the help they can get." Roxy suggested and I nodded in understanding."That's a good idea. I think I will buy both of them, so will you help me buy it?" I asked her and she shook her head indicating that she meant no, I furrowed my brows in confusion."Why?" I inquired curiously.I know she has brought such gifts in the past."I wanted to buy a gift as well ,so I need

    Bruce's POV Roxy gave me some good information. After Roxy said that the clothes they were selling were fake, I sent someone to buy her clothes from there and it was indeed true, they were selling fake clothes at high prices, that should be fraud. I made an anonymous report to the police station about a boutique selling fake clothes. And the police told me that they will be investigated. The person I was sending to keep an eye on Uncle Owen's wife's boutique, told me that the boutique was closed down by the police ,when she was being investigated for selling fake clothes at high prices. If I cannot harm Uncle Owen, then I can at least harm his family and then I will hope he will do something, that makes me find another weak point he has. I think that it has been established that Uncle Owen's wife is selling fake clothes and he's trying to save his wife by bribing someone to bury this under the rug. I have already told Mr Dominic's friend who advised me to let Uncle Owen do wha

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
