The Billionaire Heir (The Van Dyke Sisters 2) Chapter 62
That evening . . . It was strangely coincidental that Derek was going to see both Bartholomew women on the same day. But he assumed the cosmos were trying to help him get his life in order. He had his former maid from the penthouse to come over and clean up his father’s Jersey penthouse. Derek wasn’t planning on being in it long, but he didn’t want the remnants of his father’s last visit lingering about. The buzzer went off. His guest had arrived. Derek had taken off his suit jacket and tie when he had first arrived. He had unbuttoned his light blue dress shirt. He opened the door to who he was expecting. Whitney Bartholomew. She hugged a mink stole around her body. “Darling boy,” she cooed as she crossed the threshold. She kissed his cheek so quick he didn’t have a chance to back away. Then she walked into the living space. Derek closed the door. He turned to see Whitney taking off the mink and drapin

The next day . . . As promised, Derek had called Chelsea last night. It was almost midnight; therefore, it wasn’t a long conversation. “I just needed to tell you I love you,” Derek had said huskily. “And to hear your voice before I fell asleep. “Oh . . . I see.” “You’re not going to say it back?” She had thought for a moment. “No,” she had whispered. “Why not? You know you do.” Chelsea exhaled. “Are you trying to play hard to get?” “No.” “Then say it, angel.” “I love you.” “That’s my girl. I’ll see you tomorrow at Francis Chadwick’s office for the will reading. We have to be there by nine a.m.” “I’ll be there.” Mr. Chadwick’s secretary escorted Chelsea down the hall. They didn’t speak. She stopped at a door and reached for the knob. When she opened the door, Chelsea was surprised She had thought they would b

Everyone had left Francis Chadwick and Derek alone in the sitting room. Francis walked over to the couch Derek was sitting on as he reached into his inner suit jacket pocket. He stopped in front of him and offered him a white legal sized envelope. “What’s this?” Derek asked as he gently took the envelope. For some reason he was suspicious of it. “It contains the codicil that was attached to Walt’s will. The one in regards to your inheritance if you didn’t marry – the codicil that is now null in void.” Derek’s head rocked back with relief. Thank god. I was afraid Dad had slipped something in that required me to jump through another hoop. “My instructions were to give you a copy – the only copy of the codicil upon your father’s will reading – if you had met the terms, of course. Since you have, you can do whatever you wish with it. The flash drive that the codicil is on is in the envelope as well.” I’m burning this

A few hours later . . . It was early evening when Derek had arrived at Hilltop House. He took his coat off as he and Chelsea walked into the living room. Chelsea had changed out of her outfit from earlier into a pair of blue jeans and a red cashmere sweater. She had on black socks – no shoes. Her blonde hair flowed around her. Derek had changed clothes from this morning, too. He had put on a pair of black jeans and a black and white polo shirt. “Would you like something to drink?” Chelsea asked. “No, thank you. I thought we could . . . talk.” Chelsea walked to the sofa. “Talk about what?” She sat down. “You know what. Us.” “Oh, you want to have that talk,” she said timidly. “Yes, I think it’s high time we do,” he said as he remained standing. “You’re about four months pregnant now. I think we need to iron things out and where we stand before the baby comes, don’t you

Men, most of them a little too old for her, were beating the door down to take her out on a date. Derek was officially head of Dawson Inc. Businessmen stood in line to shake his hand and propose deals. Most of them weren’t good or too high risk. Derek figured some of them thought they could get away with taking advantage of him. What they didn’t know – and learned later was Derek had been doing business most of his life – it just wasn’t always for Dawson. He knew when something didn’t smell right. Derek was at home, at Hilltop House, listening to his cousin rant and rave over the phone. But he managed to get a word in. “When did Amanda leave you?”

The next morning . . . “It’s true, Derek,” Francis Chadwick with Chadwick, Harvey, and Whitman Law Firm, stated. He was a tall man, slim and with white hair around his temples. “I drew it up myself.” “Son of a bitch,” Derek sneered. “I can’t believe he’s doing this.” “What I can’t believe is he hasn’t boxed your ears,” Francis said snottily. “I saw your mother the other day at the country club. She acted like she was embarrassed to be there.” Derek rolled his eyes ruefully. “Francis, my father isn’t the only one who has you on retainer.” Francis kept his stance and insolent expression, acting like he wasn’t intimidated. “Bottom line is there’s nothing you can do other than meet your father’s requirements – in the year time frame which starts today. That’s all you have to do. If you do, he’ll instruct me to destroy the codicil. If not, your father will let it stand after a year has passed and you will be officially

One week later . . . Derek was going through his contacts, trying to figure out prospects for a wife who would be good enough for the New York elite, won’t mind him roaming for other pussy, and won’t be a pain in his ass generally. “Diane? No, too much of a free spirit for society,” he said as he went through his list on his cell. “Loula? No, too wild. Xena? Her name says it all. Hmm.” He kept going through his list. He jotted down names on a pad that might pass mustard to be his wife. He stopped when he got to the Ns. He looked at the five names he had written down as prospects. “Hmm. I wonder if one of Philippa Dandridge’s granddaughters might consider marrying me? If anything, they girls love to have fun like I do. All three of them don’t seem to be any trouble. Then again, the future in-laws might be. Nah. Best scratch them out.”The buzzer went off on the penthouse door.“Wonder who that is?” Derek walked to the door and looked thr
