The Unexpected Heir Chapter 93: Laugh.
Bruce's POV:I went to see Mr Dominic and I sat beside his bed and told him about Nina, he was still in a coma , I think he could hear me.I just wanted to talk to someone about it.I am sure that when Mr Dominic wakes up he will be happy to have another grandchild.His relationship with his sons are not the best ,so I am sure he would like Nina's company.I returned back home to rest since it's the weekend.Ever since everybody has turned against Uncle Owen, I became active on social media.I was just looking at the insults he got in the comments and laughed about it ,but I never posted one comment. I was busy scrolling away on my social media page, when I remembered Uncle Owen's name and searched for Owen Dominic ,but I saw many men. I know that I was on social media but I didn't see his account anymore. Has he deleted it?That would make sense, since many people were insulting him now.Nina and her Mom are safe, Nina is going to school online for now till all there settles.I th
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 94: A new finding.
Bruce's POV:All over the news ,the only thing they are talking about is Mr. Owen Dominic's secret child.It has made headlines in the news and uncle Owen was receiving a lot of criticism.It got to a point that reporters are always in front of the company building, waiting each day for him to come out so they can question him.Nina's mum who sued him to court won and she was going to be getting child support for Nina.Nina said she only wanted to be with her mum and since she was old enough to make that decision, that was what the judge did.It ended well for them.I heard that someone threw a rotten egg at Uncle Owen ,when he was coming to work the other day.The person ran away and before the bodyguards could chase after him, the reporters stopped them by taking pictures of Uncle Owen's clothes.The bodyguards couldn't just push the reporters away, so they escorted Uncle Owen inside.Uncle Owen was so upset that he was getting discredited for his actions, he tried apologizing in pu
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 95: Mother.
Bruce's Pov:I was preparing on how to stop Uncle Owen from meeting up with me, when he returned from his trip.I have two bodyguards posted outside my office and two bodyguards were in the staff room waiting for me to call them. I will have to go home with my four bodyguards from now on.Last thing I wanted is to get into a confrontation with Uncle Owen and someone records a video of it and posts it online.I received a call from my Father, Mr Chase,he informed me he was in front of the company building.I remember that Uncle Owen the security guards to not let him in ,anytime he came here.I ended the call and called the security guards and told them to let him in.I wonder what he has to say for himself.After about ten minutes ,he walked into my office.We exchanged greetings and we sat on the couch , facing each other.He was yet to say why he came, but I was very patient and just sat there."So how has work been?" He asked me and I scoffed."Fine." I replied as I checked my wris
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 96: He returned.
Bruce POV: I heard her gasp. "Don't you dare call me that again!" She hissed angrily and I scoffed. Now I know for sure that she abandoned me without any remorse. What a heartless woman, for a minute I thought she was actually put on the spot to give me up or lose her life, but the way she's talking without a care in the world, she is indeed crazy and wicked just like my Dad. I guess the saying birds of the same feathers flock together, is just right on point. She was with my father because both of them were just wretched bastards. Since she thinks that what she did was not wrong, I decided to be petty. "Why won't I call you that ,from what I heard you are my mother, so I should address you properly." I told her. "Don't you dare call me your mother, because I am not your mum, didn't that useless man Chase teach you anything reasonable, I can't believe he would actually give you my phone number!" She hissed. "If you don't want me to address you as my mother, then you might as
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 97: Brother in law?
Bruce's POV:I was very certain now that apart from embezzlement, uncle Owen was also doing something else that was bad.I don't know how he has been able to avoid the meeting of the board of directors.He was called to the meetings held, but he just ignored them. He now has body guards posted in front of his office door , so that uninvited guests won't come in.I wonder why he's this good at running away from trouble, it's exhausting.He hasn't tried to pull on a stunt with me again, but I know he is planning something.Uncle Owen won't easily leave his position for anyone, I know he was going to put up a fight ,so I was ready to face him.Roxy has been acting a bit distant since that dinner at the restaurant.She helps me whenever I need help, but apart from that she goes running away, when I get too close, it's not as if I am intentionally getting close to her.Well it's a shame.I went to the cemetery with flowers.Getting close to Dora's grave, I saw an unfamiliar figure standing
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 98: Calvin.
Bruce's POV:I rushed over to where Mr Dominic was staying.The doctor told me that his condition has already been stabilized and I didn't need to worry.He was still breathing , however it was a close call,but he's alright now.After hearing the words of a doctor and checking for myself and to see that his heart was beating, even though it was slow ,I was reassured he was fine.I sat beside Mr Dominic and told him how things have been hard for me since he got into a coma.I told him of what Uncle Owen has been doing, I told him of Nina and her mum and I told him that I might have met my brother in law and he also remembered and cherished Dora like I did.I wasn't yet sure if Calvin was my brother-in-law ,I need to do some research.I honestly hoped he could hear me and maybe give me a reply to some problems I had,but I was met with silence.I exhaled."You know I called my mother the other day and asked to meet up with her and she refused. I guess I don't even care that much about me
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 99: On the run.
Bruce's POV: Being patient is one thing I knew I was good at, because I have endured so much. I didn't even try confronting uncle Owen about what happened to Calvin ,my brother in law. I waited and I was rewarded for waiting so patiently, because two days after the incident was reported to the police station, the police officers came to our company building and they were looking for Uncle Owen and he wasn't at work. I don't know if someone tipped him off, but he didn't come to work that morning and it was suspicious, because he always made it to work early , sometimes he comes ahead of the company opening time. Since I was the one that reported Calvin's kidnap and called the police to arrest the kidnappers. The board of directors and some important personnel came to speak with the police men, and we were finally made aware that uncle Owen is wanted for embezzlement, paying people to kidnap Calvin,my brother in law and murder. Everyone was so shocked at what the policeman said,
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 100: Busy.
Bruce's POV: I always wondered why Uncle Owen would always feel as if he was the only person on earth, just because he was the CEO of the company. Now that I got in the position as the CEO and head of a company ,I could understand why you did not want to leave this position. I had so much power and authority and everything I said was final, given that I was the only person blood related to Mr Dominic working in his company and I was also a major shareholder. I was respected by everyone and I made new allies,even though I was still careful around them. To make the company building more secure for my safety, I changed the security guards in the company, because I think they have loyalty to uncle Owen. I don't want such men working for me, I could easily fire them without facing any consequences ,but firing Uncle Owen's supporters was harder than I thought. Every trap I laid for them, they would successfully jump over it, first of all I tried to monitor when they were coming to w

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
