All Chapters of The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Heather's POVHeather rushes into the elevator as the door is closing, slightly breathless."Hey, Heather! Where are you rushing off to this morning?" her colleague Mark asks. "Oh, I have been summoned to the executive floor to meet with the COO immediately. What about you Mark? Who is in desperate need of IT help first thing in the morning?" Heather responds, hoping the light conversation will keep her nerves in check."Someone in Marketing is having a meltdown because they cannot access their presentation. Nowhere near as exciting as you having a meeting with the heir apparent," Mark says with a laugh."I don't even know why he would want to see me. I have never met Casey Sullivan let alone been in the same room as him." Heather doesn't bother to hide her confusion. "Well, maybe you are part of his plan to establish himself in the company. He has only been here three months and most people think he is just a yes man for his father. Having his own people could be good for our futur

Casey POV"Mom, you look stunning as always," Casey says as he hugs her and kisses her cheek. "Thank you, darling. Such a flatterer, you get that from your father. But your punctuality you get from me," Christine responds, beaming at her eldest child.Christine Sullivan is a beautiful, statuesque woman wearing a sleeveless emerald green sheath dress and nude stilettos. Her auburn hair is done up in a stylish chignon and her neck is adorned in the diamond necklace her husband gifted her for their thirtieth wedding anniversary. Casey has enjoyed being around his family again, but the pressure they put on him is a large part of why he joined the military. For as long as he can remember Casey has known that it is his duty to take over as CEO of Sullivan Solutions when his father retires. He tried to be the good son and heir that his parents demanded. Casey kept out of trouble and graduated with honors in high school, college, and business school. But when it came time to join the family

Casey POV"Dad, millions of dollars have been stolen from our company. We found over $3 million have gone missing in the past year alone. We have found even more suspicious transactions going back three years. Who knows how long this has been going on and how much money has been stolen," Casey shares the findings of the investigation with his father."Who is this "we", you are talking about Casey… Who is it who has such sensitive information about our company? Information that could destroy the company and the family if it ever went public! How could you be so– so stupid as to bring in other people before bringing this to me? I am the first and only person you come to when there is a problem connected to my company– Do I make myself clear?" Liam berates his son."Yes, sir," Casey responds.Casey finds himself slipping back into soldier mode when his father is like this. Liam Sullivan has always been a demanding and controlling man with high expectations for his eldest son. No matter w

Casey POV"You look incredible."Casey stumbles when he sees Heather step out of the car. The dress looks better on her than he imagined. And he had imagined it a lot."Well, I suppose I have you to thank for that. This dress and everything, it's too much. You shouldn't have," Heather shyly thanks him."You deserve it. I wanted to do something after you had to endure meeting my father and the way he treated you. Plus, all work you have been doing for our investigation on top of your regular work should be rewarded somehow," Casey cannot stop his rambling justification as he continues to stare at the vision in front of him."I appreciate it, but I wasn't looking for a reward. I just want to find whoever is stealing from the company," Heather responds with a blush coloring her cheeks."Well, then I guess we should get inside and meet with Mr. O'Brien. Hopefully, we will get the answers we want." Heather loops her arm through his.Casey leads them into Cafe Angelique, the most expensive

Casey's POV"Heather, please let me explain," Casey begs.Casey hates himself for being the cause of the pain he sees on Heather's face. He wants nothing more than to wrap his arms around her and completely lose himself in her. Unfortunately, he can't."It was a mistake… I understand. I should go. I will see you on Monday with the information about the account holder." Heather says plainly, but Casey can hear the hurt in her voice.He hates that he hurt Heather. It is the last thing he wanted to do. "Wait, Heather. Don't go. We need to talk about this.""What would you like to say, Casey?" Heather says, anger coloring her tone. "I never should have kissed you, Heather. I am your boss. Nothing like that should have ever happened. I hope you can forgive me." Casey regretfully explains. "Like I already said, I understand. Goodbye, Casey." Heather says as her eyes well with tears.Heather walks away from him and this time Casey lets her. He can tell she is trying to hide how much she i
