All Chapters of The Billionaire's Heir: Loving the Son of a Murderer: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Heather's POV"What do you mean you aren't done working with Casey? You found who was stealing from the company. Now you are supposed to be able to put distance between yourself and the super sexy son of a murderer. What's changed, Heather?"Lucy is upset. Heather knew she would be when she heard that Heather would still be working with Casey."Vincent Dillon has worked for the company since Liam took over as CEO and has been the CFO for 30 years. I only looked into the past three years. Casey needs a full review done of everything Vincent has ever worked on and every transaction he signed. He trusts me so I am being temporarily reassigned to report directly to Casey while I conduct this review. It's no big deal." Heather isn't sure if she is trying to convince herself or Lucy of that.Lucy takes her anger out on the food she is preparing for dinner. The kitchen looks like a disaster zone, but Heather will never comment about Lucy's cooking process because she cannot cook at all. She

Heather POV"Fired? Really? Do you know what happened?""I just know what the email said. CFO Vincent Dillon has been fired from Sullivan Solutions. Effective immediately.""The guy worked for the company for 40 years and suddenly gets thrown out with no notice. Something big must have happened."Heather can hear the whole office is losing their collective minds since they got the email at 9:32 this morning. Heather has stayed in her office with the door closed to try to avoid the chaos. She is guessing Liam Sullivan found out about the embezzlement and cut Vincent loose. However, Heather won't be sharing that information with anybody. She just wishes Casey would contact her to tell her what is going on.Almost as if he heard her thoughts, Heather's phone rings and it is Casey calling."Hello. Heather Winters speaking. How can I help you?""Heather, you know it's me. There is no need for a professional greeting," Casey says while laughing."I am trying to not seem too familiar with yo

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

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

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
