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
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 101: Little sister.
Bruce's pov:I heard running footsteps."Brother Bruce!" I heard someone squeal as Nina ran into my office towards me."There is your guest, I told her to stay outside until I informed you that she came,she clearly didn't listen." Roxy sighed as Nina ran towards my desk to greet me."It's fine, thank you for bringing her , you can return back to work." I told her and Roxy left."Wow, you really have a lot of work to do in your office. It is so big and beautiful, and the building is so tall, I even got on the elevator." Nina giggled.My dear teenage cousin, I forget how old she is, is it fourteen or fifteen?I wanted to have said she was a kid and asked how old she was ,but she would get annoyed because I think she told me how old she is and I forgot."Yes I am busy." I replied."Wow ,I made you pancakes." Nina told me and gave me the pancakes she made that were in a lunch box."Thank you." I thanked her and took it and put it aside."So why did you come here today?" I inquired from he
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 102: Weekend.
Bruce POV:That evening when I returned home, I called Nina's mum to inform her that I would be helping her relatives, it was the least I could do since Uncle Owen was the one that caused this problem."I don't think my family problem should be left for you to handle, you have already helped us more than enough, I escaped from your uncle's prison due to your help, if I continue taking advantage of you when I was the one I got myself into that mess, I don't think I would have the face to see you anymore." Nina's Mom told me in a low voice.I just want to help my Cousin and her relatives, you should have another support , in case something happens to me, your family needs to be established." I informed her.Right now I think I'm the only one she can rely on and given that Uncle Owen ran away, no one is paying her child support.She has no money to herself."You talk as if something is going to happen to you, please don't speak so negatively, Nina would be devastated if something happens
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 103: He woke up.
Bruce's POV:I rushed over to where Mr Dominic was staying.On getting there I was met with Mr Dominic whose eyes were open , he just woke up and was still resting.When I came to stand beside his bed, his wrinkled face lit up in a smile.He was finally awake, I hugged him as he lay on the hospital bed."I am so glad you woke up, I waited for this day for so long!" I exclaimed.He couldn't speak since his voice was hoarse.I was just glad he was alright.I waited till after a week to properly talk to him."I waited so long for you to wake up ,so I could tell you all that has happened." I told him as I helped him drink a glass of water."So exciting things must have happened while I was asleep." He said in a low voice.I didn't stress to join him too much ,because he just woke up and his voice wasn't that clear. I don't want him to start coughing.The only thing that I care about is that he's alive and well.I should just wait till he gets better. Maybe after a month I will tell him e
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 104: Sole heir.
Bruce's POV:Mr Dominic burst out laughing at what I said."I was just asking out of concern for you, because if you are the one that ratted out your uncle and he's on the run, he will surely seek to get revenge by putting you in danger." He pointed out and I looked at him suspiciously.I don't know what I should do about how Mr Dominic was behaving.I should just leave him alone for the moment, because I think he's overwhelmed by the news."I should just go get back to work, since I have told you everything you need to know." I told him as I stood up."I hope you do not think that I am thinking ill for you?" He asked me and I averted my eyes."It doesn't matter what I think ,you should just get better, I will be on my way." I replied.I left and headed back to the office. I think I will talk to him another time ,when he has digested what I said.I knew that he wouldn't be so happy with the outcome of what happened, because afterall I made him lose two sons.But the thing is it wasn'

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
