The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 31: Breakfast with the Ex
Casey's POV"Mom, did you know your eldest son had a date this morning?" Molly gleefully gossips."What are you talking about Molly?" Christine asks, her curiosity piqued."Casey is having breakfast with Meredith. Dancing with her at the gala stirred up all kinds of feelings for my repressed older brother. Now he wants to have breakfast to reconnect and see if they can try again. Isn't that wonderful," Molly is practically bouncing as she shares the news. Casey is not thrilled that his family knows about his plans to have breakfast with Meredith. Both his mother and his sister have been pushing him to get back together with her for months. Now they are going to think that it is happening when it couldn't be further from the truth. "It's just breakfast. There is no need for anyone to get ahead of themselves. It's not a big deal," Casey firmly says to his mother and sister, hoping they will listen to him."Of course, dear. I'm just glad you are trying to reconnect with Meredith. She w
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 32: Dealing with Tommy
Heather's POV"Casey! What are you doing here?" Heather asks with surprise as she opens her door.She had not expected to see Casey today. Heather has been completely focused on tracking the years of embezzlement to determine how much money has been stolen. She also hoped to find something to indicate where the money has been going all these years to see if she can tie it to Liam and his criminal activities."I had breakfast with Meredith. It was terrible and I hated every second of it. When I was leaving the restaurant I realized I needed to see you," Casey says as he enters her apartment and pulls her to him.Heather sinks into his embrace, enjoying the feel of Casey wrapped around her. She doesn't know how to respond to Casey after his declaration, so she just holds on to him tighter. Hopefully, he will understand what she is unable to say. After a moment, Casey pulls away and cups her cheeks between his hands. The look in his eye ignites a fire in Heather's belly. She knows the m
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 33: Together
Casey's POV"You what?" Heather asks, completely shocked.Casey cannot help the small smile that appears on his face at her response. Her eyes are wide and her jaw has literally dropped. The joy coursing through his veins at finally confessing how he feels has him feeling like he is floating. "Heather, I love you. I have fallen completely and utterly in love with you," Casey happily confesses again.Heather continues to stare at him stunned. After a moment, the smile slips from Casey's face. He thought they were on the same page. That she felt the same way about him. Now he's not so sure. She had said she felt the connection between them before. On the night they first kissed she said she had never felt so connected to another person. Maybe she just isn't ready to say those words yet. "Heather, you don't have to say anything back. I just needed you to know how I feel," Casey says, determined to salvage the moment."Casey, I don't know what to say. Hearing you say that was the last t

Heather's POV"What is going on here!" Lucy loudly exclaims as she walks in the door.Heather rips her mouth away from Casey in surprise. She turns her head to see her best friend staring at her and Casey in shock."Lucy! I thought you were going out to dinner with that cute guy from work. I didn't expect you home so soon," Heather says in a rush as she climbs off of Casey's lap."I finished up at work early so I would have time to come home and change before my date. Would you like to introduce me to your gentleman friend?" Lucy asks with a smirk on her face.Heather can tell that Lucy is incredibly amused by this situation. While Heather has walked in on Lucy several times since they started living together, this is the first time that Lucy has interrupted Heather with a guest. Heather straightens out her clothes and buttons up her shirt as she says, "Lucy this is Casey Sullivan. Casey, this is my best friend and roommate Lucy Perez.""So you are the famous Casey Sullivan. It is a
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 35: Getting Advice and Sneaking Around
Casey's POV"Aidan, I need your help," Casey declares.He enters his brother's bedroom without knocking, relishing in surprising his younger brother for once. The room is pitch black and Aidan is still asleep even though it is one in the afternoon. Casey rips open the curtains letting the sunlight flood the room. He can now clearly see Aidan sprawled on his stomach with his head under his pillow."Get up!" Casey commands as he rips the covers off his brother.Aidan only groans in response as he buries his head further beneath the pillows."Come on, Aidan. Get up! I need your help," Casey shakes Aidan's shoulder as he speaks and pulls the pillow away when he is finished."With what?" Aidan asks, his voice still rough with sleep."Sneaking around," Casey answers vaguely.Aidan sits up and rubs his eyes as he tries to make sense of Casey's request. Suddenly, it is like a light bulb has gone off in his mind."Does this mean you and Heather are finally together? I know you are still her bo
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 36: Confrontation with the Ex
Heather's POV"What are you doing in the office so early, Ms. Winters?" Meredith asks with suspicion and derision.Heather rolls her eyes while she is turned away from Meredith. She came in early to work on tracking the accounts that she had discovered were used in the embezzlement. She felt inspired now that she and Casey are together. The sooner they complete their investigation, the sooner they can be a couple without having to hide. "I just wanted to work more on the efficiency review. I have been making substantial progress and I like working in the silence of an empty office. It's peaceful," Heather responds as honestly as she can.Heather makes sure to sound as polite and respectful as possible when talking to Meredith. She can't stand the woman and will be thrilled when she is arrested, but for now, she is the boss. "Your position is not going to last much longer. I have decided the efficiency review is not the best use of resources at this time and it's causing too much dis
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 37: Weekend Getaway
Casey's POV"Why are you packing, Casey? Making a break for it to escape our crazy family?" Aidan jokingly asks as he enters Casey's room."I'm going away for the weekend. When mom asks tell her I needed to get out of the city for a bit," Casey responds distractedly as he grabs clothes from his closet."Where are you actually going?" Aidan asks, eternally curious.Casey instantly goes to close his bedroom door before considering telling Aidan where he is going this weekend. It is the first time he and Heather will have the chance to be alone together without any interruptions or complications. He doesn't want to risk anything ruining this weekend."You can't tell anyone where I'm going or what I'm doing, Aidan," Casey urgently says in a low voice as he sits next to his brother."Okay?" Aidan says, confused. "Why all the secrecy? Is this about dad? Are you doing something dangerous? Do you need me to come with you?" Aidan's questions come in quick succession as his mind plays through t

Heather's POVHeather jumps slightly as Casey closes the door behind them. "Are you Ok, Heather?" Casey asks, filled with concern."I'm fine, Casey. Really. Just a bit nervous," Heather admits."Nothing has to happen tonight. We can just go to bed. I would love nothing more than to hold you in my arms all night," Casey reassures Heather as he runs his hands down her arms until their hands are entwined.Heather doesn't want to wait. She is just worried that Casey will be disappointed in her. While she is not a virgin, Heather knows she does not have much experience. Other than Tommy, there has only been one other guy who she dated in college.Casey may not be the playboy his brother is, but he has been with his fair share of women. Heather doesn't know if she can live up to his expectation."Casey, I do want to be with you. More than anything," Heather says to Casey as she walks closer to him.Heather reaches Casey, cups his head between her hands, and kisses him. Instantly, Heather f

The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 49: Freedom
Casey's POV"I'm so glad you're alive," Casey murmurs into Heather's ear as he holds her.Casey has no intention of letting go of Heather anytime soon. For several minutes he thought she was dead and his world ended. When he first saw her body on the pavement, he thought he was hallucinating. His feet were moving toward her before he made a conscious decision. By the time he reached her Casey realized she was badly beaten and unconscious. He must have screamed her name because Tommy and Aidan were right behind him with paramedics who quickly took over.Now, Heather is in the back of an ambulance and just waking up. They are on their way to the hospital so Heather can get the care she so desperately needs. Casey doesn't know what happened to her in that warehouse, but he can see the welts on her face and bruising on her neck. Her torso and limbs are discolored from bruises. Someone gave her a severe beating and Casey thinks it was probably his father. It hurts him to know that his own
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 48: The Final Confrontation
Heather's POV20 minutes earlier"Heather, I knew you were trouble, but I have to admit you surprised me by showing up here."Heather is relieved by that statement from Liam. It means that she has not been moved to another location and is still at the warehouse address she sent to Casey and Tommy. She tries to focus on that relief rather than the fear that is threatening to consume her as she is at the mercy of the man who killed her mother."I guess I should be proud to have caught you off guard Liam. You don't mind if I call you Liam, do you? I have a feeling our relationship is about to enter a whole new level, as you torture me for information. Besides, you're my future father-in-law which basically makes us family," Heather says with confidence, trying to throw Liam off. Liam walks right up to her and grabs her by the neck. As he chokes her he pulls her up so her toes barely touch the ground. Heather starts to panic as she is unable to breathe. Liam's face is all she can see and
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 47: Searching
Casey's POV"Are you sure this is the address Heather sent you? It's just a warehouse," Aidan asks, confused."Yes, I'm sure. This is the address. We figured out that dad owns several different warehouses in the city. He bought them all with different shell companies to keep anyone from tying him to the properties. We just didn't know which one was being used for the upcoming weapons sale. Heather said she was going to try to determine which one they were using. This is the address she gave me and I trust her," Casey says, trying to remain patient as he gives his brother a brief explanation.Part of Casey is furious with Heather. His father has made it clear that he is threatened by Heather, but she keeps moving forward with the investigation. Since Liam threatened to frame her for the embezzlement she has been all the more determined to take him down. Casey understands, and he feels just as outraged. He wishes she would have waited for him to go with her."Casey, I don't see any indi
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 46: Kidnapped
Heather's POVFreezing cold water hits Heather's face and thrusts her into consciousness."I knew you were trouble, but I had no idea you were this much trouble," a female voice speaks from behind Heather.Heather ignores the voice and takes a moment to try to figure out where she is and what is happening to her. She feels her entire body shivering. She looks down and notices that her feet are bare and she has been stripped of everything but her bra and panties. "Ignoring me won't work! You have no idea what you have stumbled onto you ignorant whore. I know you must be desperate to stay close to Casey, but going after his father is not the way to do it," Meredith Dillon sneers as she walks up to Heather and pulls at her hair for her to look up. The pain in Heather's head is making itself known. Whatever was used to knock her out certainly left its mark. She can feel blood dried in her hair and congealed at the base of her neck. However, she cannot worry about that injury right now.
The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer Chapter 45: She's Missing
Casey's POV"Casey we have to talk about dad. I don't know what is going on, but he has completely lost his mind!" Aidan says as he bursts into Casey's office. Casey had been trying to focus on his work in an attempt to keep himself calm. It seems that idea is futile as he has spent most of the morning worrying about Heather. Now, his brother is coming with more problems."What is happening now? And just tell me the facts, Aidan. I don't have the energy to deal with your dramatic embellishment," Casey says wearily. "Dad is telling the entire public relations department to prepare for a major press conference in three days. When I asked him what it was about, he told me he is going to announce that he uncovered a major plot against him and that the individuals involved stole millions of dollars from the company. He assured me that the accounts will not be missing a single cent by the time we hold the press conference. Also, he says there will be several high-profile arrests and I sho

Heather's POV"Casey, what are you doing here?" Heather asks as she opens the door.Heather is shocked to see Casey at her door. He looks absolutely shattered and is unable to talk. She guides him through the doorway and sits him on her couch. Casey seems completely detached and Heather knows something terrible must have happened. She looks out the door to check for threats or anyone watching, but she does not see anyone. After closing and locking the door, Heather returns to Casey. She can tell that whatever happened has messed with his mind. He is staring off into the distance and his breathing is becoming erratic. A panic attack is building. "Casey, talk to me. I'm worried," Heather says as she rubs her hands up and down his arms. When he is unable to respond, Heather turns to the methods that have helped with his panic attacks before."I'm here, Casey. You aren't alone. Remember the breathing exercises we have been working on together. You are safe with me in my apartment. When

Heather's POV"What the hell are you doing in my office?" Heather says her voice raised with anger.Liam Sullivan just smirks at her in response. She just endured lunch with Casey and his mother and sister. Now she finds Liam sitting at her desk."This is my company, Ms. Winters. I can go wherever I like, including your office. I should say especially your office. Since you are overstepping in your efficiency review," Liam's voice is cold as he speaks.Heather is instantly terrified. She knew Liam could figure out that she is investigating him, but she convinced herself that she was safe. Her mother was killed because she was a witness who saw too much. He could just as easily kill her. However, she has to remain calm. She doesn't know how much Liam knows and cannot afford to give anything away."How is it I am overstepping, sir? I believe everything I have done has fallen within the directive given to me by your son," Heather says, keeping her voice even.Liam stalks around her desk
