The Unexpected Heir Chapter 85: Roxy is wearing a dress.
Bruce POV;You know that feeling when someone's out to get you,that's how I felt this morning when coming to work.Was I feeling this way because I called my father's wife or because Uncle Owen is now seeing me as a threat because of the major investors incident] I know that Mister Chase and Uncle Owen are hard hearted, so they won't forget about what happened so easily. I successfully came to work without bumping into anyone. I was surprised to see Roxy was wearing a desk when she stood up to greet me.The only thing I know Roxy wears is female suits ,so this is surprising,but she looked lovely. I got into my office and when she came in to remind me of my schedule ,I stole glances of Roxy from time to time and she always caught me staring at her. My mind drifted over to the suit I saw her wear the previous day ,as I compared it to the dress she is wearing and I finally came to a conclusion that the dress suits get better. I wonder what happened that made Roxy wear a dress."S
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 86: A message.
Bruce's POV:It was a Saturday and I was working at home. I was in the study, looking through some documents.I was looking through the Old projects that Mr Dominic handled.I want you to know more about how he did his business.I tried calling Roxy that day. I saw her at the restaurant but she didn't pick up my call. I didn't want to go to the apartment unannounced ,so I went back home and she didn't even call me back.I will just wait until I see her on Monday, I think she needs to be alone.I just wonder what happened.My phone on top of it beeped and I took it to check the message, it was from an unknown number."I know who killed the wife." That was the content of the message.My eyes widened in surprise and I expected another message since I read this one but none came.I just hope that this wasn't Uncle Owen or my father, I want to play games with me.I decided to send a message to the unknown number and ask who did it.I was out of ideas at this point and my private investigat
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 87: Let's be friends.
Bruce's POV:Even though the man wasn't who I was looking for, he was still a police officer and the gang members were beating him.I successfully made them get away from him and turn their attention to me as they all charged towards me.I did my best to dodge the man holding a broken bottle, but by dodging him the others got to hit me, I grabbed one by his arm and flinged him and he fell."Over here!" I yelled, because I don't know why it was taking my bodyguards so long to get here."Why get involved in our business? You don't know him?" Three of the men asked me as they surrounded me and I could see the police officer was looking at us but with his bloody body I don't think he could move.They were about to charge at me again when they heard a gunshot."Stop!" Ivan yelled as the gang members stopped and turned to see guns pointed at them.I sighed in relief as I went to check on the police officer as my bodyguards rushed over to my side as they apprehended the gang members under my
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 88: Strange words.
Bruce's POV:I decided to call that police officer I saved.He was quite happy to hear from me."I thought I actually won't hear from you again since you were not answering my calls." He told me and I laughed.Why would I want to get close to a police officer ,when I am a businessman?He seemed like a nice guy ,so I will just give him the benefit that he is a nice guy.I asked him to meet up and he agreed and chose a place of his liking.He said we should go to the arcade and play games. I don't understand why he chose that but he seemed really young like me, so I guess you just wanted to have fun.After our meeting ended I went home.I had fun today.The next day at work I was busy when Roxy walked in to drop off some files."Sir, is there a reason why you are ignoring me these days?" Roxy asked me after dropping off the files."Why would you think that I am ignoring you?" I asked her."Well, you haven't been talking to me properly so that's the only explanation I can come up with."
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 89: Cousin.
Bruce's POV:She frowned."Sir ,you shouldn't just come to my face and ask who I am, I don't tell my name to strangers." She huffed, I raised an eyebrow at her words and smiled."I was merely concerned, you seem to want to get into the company building urgently,I work here, is there a problem young miss?" I asked her and she looked at the security guards then back at me."You work here?" She asked in surprise."Yes." I replied."Are you an important person here?" She inquired and I nodded."Yes I am, but the question is who are you?" I asked her."I came to see the man who I call my father ,but security guards refused to let me in." She explained."Who is your dad?" I inquired."The head of the company is my Dad." She replied."Mr Dominic?" I inquired and she frowned."No, it's someone else." She corrected me.I wonder if she wants to lie so I can take her inside the company building.My bodyguards urged me to overlook her and go into the company building, but I still wanted to know w
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 90: Nina.
Bruce's POV:I reassured her that I will help as much as I can.She was glad."Before you begin telling me everything, what's your name?" I asked her."Where are my manners? My name is Nina." She replied."Did you take Mister Owen's surname?" I inquired."No, I took my mum's surname." She replied and I nodded.Uncle Owen is cautious.I asked Nina what made her want to expose uncle Owen."This isn't just about me, I don't actually care if I have just my mom in my life, it's just that whenever my father comes to see us ,he threatens my mum to not tell anyone of my existence and he also was having an affair with my mum, even when he was married, even till now." She said in a small voice."I don't know why my mum hurts herself to the point of not leaving that monster, I think she's scared of him and can't do anything about it." Nina told me.I asked her if she had ever seen Uncle Owen hit her mum."Whenever he comes, I am sent to my room after greeting him," Nina said."Whenever Mr Owen l
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 91: Let's do this.
Bruce POV:Relief washed over me when I realized that it wasn't Roxy who was kneeling and pleading.She isn't a spy.Roxy knows so much about me and she also knows so much about me for Dominic's business that if she was to get an uncle Owen side, he will have a lot to use against me.Roxy was just staring at what was happening.What left a bitter taste in my mouth is to find out that the spy is one of Mr Dominic's secretaries that I rehired when Mr Dominic went into a coma. I did such a good thing for her and she dared to do this to me.I walked up to them and looked at the secretary."Even the dogs know that you shouldn't bite the hand of its owner who feeds it!" I hissed at the spy who was shaking with fear.She pleaded to be forgiven and said she had no choice but to do it, but I snapped at her.She had a choice, she could have told me about someone wanting her as a spy ,I would have compensated her greatly and still asked her to be the person's spy to give only the information tha
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 92: Nina won.
Mr. Chase's POV(Bruce's Father):I have been feeling uneasy with Bruce these days.It felt as if something bad was going to happen, my mind told me Bruce is out to get me and my body must have believed it because I haven't called Bruce for a while, but my informant in Mister Dominic's company building told me he fired the secretary that was Owen's spy.It made me fear my informant might get caught and I told him to lay low for sometime.When I heard about Bruce firing his secretary who is Owen's spy and the informant told me that Bruce didn't contact Owen directly to ask him why he put a spy in his office, I knew he must be plotting something, that brat is always out to get revenge.I decided to give Bruce some space, because it seems like he is bad news.I can't get a spy into his close circle and anyone I send to follow him always loses him.It felt as if they knew he was being watched and was careful of everything he did.Ever since Bruce called my wife and told her I was following

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
