The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 16: After the Game
Heather's POV"Heather, I don't have PTSD. I'm fine." Casey says sharply.Heather suddenly feels like she is walking in a minefield. She is not an expert, but she is pretty sure Casey had a panic attack. She knows he spent years in the military, so it would not be surprising that he is dealing with the after-effects. "Casey, I am not trying to pry or overstep... I'm just worried about you," Heather keeps her voice soft as she speaks to him."I appreciate that. But I have a handle on it. You don't need to worry," Casey's voice is still harsh as he replies."Casey, I care about you. Of course, I am going to worry." Heather says, her voice full of affection for the man struggling beside her.She cannot stand to see Casey in such pain. However, Heather is not sure what she can do to help him. She decides to push for a bit more information and hopes Casey won't completely shut down on her. "Casey, don't you have anyone you can talk to about all of this? A professional?"Casey lets out a
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 17:The Ex Girlfriend
Casey's POV"What are you doing in the CFO's office, Meredith?"Casey had gotten into the office later than usual this morning. He hadn't slept well the past few nights, plagued by nightmares since the basketball game. He had finally drifted off at 4 AM but had slept through his alarm. Showing up to work late has him feeling out of sorts and the last thing he needed was to run into his ex-girlfriend."I am packing up my father's things after he was abruptly fired from the company he had worked at for more than 40 years. What are you doing here, Casey?" Meredith snipes back.Meredith is a stunning woman: a statuesque beauty with long, dark brown hair. She is wearing a figure-hugging red dress that shows off her curves without being inappropriate for the office. Casey has always known that Meredith is beautiful and used to be very affected by her body, but now he feels nothing for her. She is simply an annoyance in his day."I am here to gather any hard copies Vincent had here as I am t
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 18: Meeting His Ex
Heather POV"So you must be the accountant Casey is so fond of."Heather jolts up from her computer and sees a stunningly beautiful woman standing in the doorway. Heather wishes she did not know who the woman was, but Lucy had insisted on looking into Casey's past in the tabloids and had seen plenty of pictures of him with this woman: his ex-girlfriend Meredith Dillon. "I am an accountant and I work for Casey. You can call me Heather. May I help you with something?" Heather responds, hoping this encounter will be over quickly. "I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Meredith Dillon and I am your new boss. Casey and I are sharing the CFO duties. So we are working together on all projects. That includes your little efficiency review," Meredith introduces herself with an air of superiority. "This is a nice office. Imagine my surprise when I heard that Casey had moved you up to the executive floor to an office that is adjoining his. He must really want to keep you close. You should be t
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 19: Family Dinner with a Surprise Guest
Casey's POV"Who is ready to face the torture that is a Sullivan Family Dinner!" Molly says as she barges into Casey's room.Casey and Aidan were sitting on the couch having a drink to try to relax before dealing with the rest of their family during dinner. "You say the word torture and yet you sound excited. What is going on baby sister?" Aidan asks with trepidation."I am excited because tonight we have a special guest at dinner," Molly says with joy."And who would that be?" Casey asks reluctantly, knowing he won't like the answer. "You don't know Casey? I thought she would have told you. It's Meredith. You know, your future wife. Isn't that great?" Molly says, practically bouncing in anticipation. Casey chokes a bit on his drink hearing that Meredith will be at dinner. He has been doing everything he can to avoid Meredith this week, but now he has to deal with her in his home. He wants nothing more than to skip dinner, but he does not want to deal with upsetting his mother. Cas
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 20: Continuing the Investigation
Heather's POV"Heather, how is the efficiency review coming along?" Casey asks as he walks into her office."Do we have to speak in code now or can I talk about what I am actually doing?" Heather responds with a sharp tone.Heather has been avoiding Casey ever since her encounter with Meredith. She is just realizing now how easy it has been to avoid him. Like he wasn't seeking her out at all. She was right to think that Meredith was telling the truth about her and Casey. It is probably for the best anyway. Heather knows she needs to stay focused on her investigation. Casey is too much of a distraction."No code needed. I've just gotten used to referring to the investigation that way. Is everything alright? You seem upset," the concern is clear in Casey's voice.Heather hates hearing Casey care. It would be so much easier to get over him if she didn't know what a good man he is. She needs to push him away to protect herself."Well, then the review is going well. I have flagged dozens o
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 21: Trying to Reconnect
Casey's POV"Heather, are you free for lunch?" Casey asks, hoping for a different answer than he got last time."Why? Is there a meeting you need me for?" Heather asks without looking up from her computer.Heather has been distant for over a week with Casey and he cannot take it anymore. He needs to know what he did to cause her to pull away. He has been wracking his brain trying to figure out what he could have done. But he cannot figure it out. Hopefully, Heather will agree to go to lunch with him so they can talk. Casey hates feeling so disconnected from Heather and will do anything to fix it."No meeting. I just thought it would be nice to have lunch together. I know you have been working so hard lately and it seems like I have barely spoken to you this past week. I wanted the chance to catch up," Casey says as casually as he can manage."I don't think that is a good idea, Casey. I am just so busy. Maybe some other time," Heather responds, still not looking at him.Casey wants to
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 22: Revealing the Truth
Heather's POV"You have a great apartment Heather," Casey says as she closes the front door.Heather is freaking out. She has decided to tell Casey the truth about her investigation into his father and what happened to her mother. Seeing Casey so desperate to talk to her and to get her to open up to him made her realize how much he cares about her. She may not know everything about Casey, but Heather believes she can trust him. "Thanks, Casey. I appreciate you coming over tonight. I know I didn't give you much of an indication as to why I wanted you here," Heather says as she leads Casey into the living room.It is strange to have Casey in her home. She has been trying to keep her work life separate from her personal life. Her entire focus has been on finding a way to destroy Liam Sullivan. She wasn't trying to make friends at work because she did not want to lie to people. Casey changed everything. He gave her the access she needed and someone to care about. "Of course, I'm here He
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 23: Reacting to a Bombshell
Casey's POV"What are you talking about? You sound crazy!" Casey is in shock. He did not know what to expect from tonight with Heather, but he never thought she would accuse his father of murder. "My father is not a murderer! He is a good man." Casey is shouting in desperation. He needs to be speaking the truth because he cannot comprehend a world where that wasn't the truth. His father is not a murderer. He can't be."Your father is not a good man! You know that, Casey. I have heard you complain about your father's actions and attitude enough times." Heather's voice breaks as she speaks, her emotions boiling over."There is a big difference between saying something offensive and killing a person. And you think there is some grand conspiracy involving my father and the company. There is not!"Casey starts pacing in frustration. He does not know how to process what Heather has told him. He has never questioned the validity of something she has said to him before. However, this is jus
