Revenge Of The Hidden Boss

Chapter 2

“What the hell is going on here?” the voice of Bruce echoed through the walls. And Cassie immediately got off the man she was humping, adjusting her dress quickly as though it'll make Bruce forget what he just saw. 

“So this is what you've been doing? Huh? After everything I've done for you and your family, this is how you repay me? By sleeping with other men?” Bruce had always known she was doing something like this, but he didn't have evidence. 

“What have you done for my family?” Cassie snapped. “You did nothing for us. But we are the ones who helped you Bruce!” She added, while trying to zip up her gown from the back. 

“You said you helped me? You must be outta your mind!”

“You're the fool who's outta your mind!” She raised her voice even more. 

Cassie’s friend also turned to Bruce, telling him “Oh yeah you're the dumb fool that I know in this family.”

“Shut up you dirty whore! You know nothing but to sleep with men all around, not caring if they are married or not. And now you've finally infected Cassie with the same sickness of unfaithfulness.”

Cassie felt so attacked by her husband's words and she approached him with anger, giving him a dirty slap across the face. “How dare you talk to me and my friend like that?” 

Bruce frowned and clenched his fists, trying so hard to hold himself from doing anything he'd regret. It was always no big deal if a lady hit a man, but the law didn't look at it the same way if a man hit a lady. 

“Look me in the eyes Cassie, I'm gonna pretend you just didn't hit my face after I caught you cheating on me with this good for nothing man. But I swear to God if you do that again, you're gonna regret it.”

“Good for nothing? Did you just call him good for nothing? He does better in bed, he knows how to hit me in the right spot but what about you Bruce? All you know is how to dirty yourself in the dirty mud ha ha.” Cassie, her friend and the man they were having fun with, all bursted into laughter. 

“No remorse?” Bruce couldn't believe it. She didn't care and she even made fun of his job as a builder, saying he worked in the mud. It was so painful to hear that considering the fact that his wife's family had a building company that Bruce helped them start from the ground up. He was the one who convinced many of his friends to join him in setting up the company which specialized in building and construction. Cassie’s greedy father named the company ‘Salvator Construction Company’ and he claimed to have given Bruce some shares. 

“Cassie, you dare make fun of my job, a skill that I used to help your father build the construction company. You all are gonna regret this.”

Bruce didn't know that Cassie had already sent a text to her father while this argument was happening. Mr Forbes Salvator received a message from her daughter “Hey dad, Bruce just caught me cheating with the man I'm supposed to marry after I divorce Bruce as we secretly planned. He's angry and he might withdraw from the company. We all know the company can't do without him, if we let him go, he'll convince his friends to also leave the company and we will have nothing. So what are we gonna do? Please come up with a plan quickly.”

Forbes read the message quickly then gave a devilish smile, he never ran out of evil ideas and he'd just gotten another one to use, he replied the text simply “Don't worry daughter, we're gonna frame him. If we make him go to prison, he wouldn't be able to leave the company along with his friends.”

Back in the bathroom, Bruce was already disgusted with looking at the faces of all those terrible people. “You know what Cassie? You're the most corny, selfish and inconsiderate person I've ever met in my life.” Bruce said in conclusion as he turned to walk out on them.

But before he could place his hand on the door handle, Bang! The door was kicked open from the outside and three policemen came in holding guns.

“What's happening?” Bruce had never been so confused in his entire life. 

The police ignored his question as they walked towards him, pointing the guns straight at him as one of them said “Don't try to do anything funny Mr Bruce Ortiz, do not move an inch.”

“Hey I don't know what I did, what did I do?” Bruce looked around as though he could see an explanation of this written on the wall somewhere. 

“Mr Bruce Ortiz, you're under arrest for the theft of $750,000!”

“What!” Bruce's eyes opened in shock “What the hell are y'all talking about? I've never stolen anybody's money in my life.”

Cassie’s father walked in casually, holding the Briefcase that Bruce brought along with him to the house. “Bruce, is this not your Briefcase?” He asked holding it up so that everyone could see.”

“Yes that's my Briefcase of course, what about it?” His answer came with anger and confusion at the same time. 

“When we were having this dinner, I announced that my money was missing.”

“What? That's a lie from the deepest pit of hell. You never said your money was missing.”

“Of course I did say someone stole my fucking money, and now we found the $750,000 in your goddamned Briefcase! You are a thief!” Forbes said with anger, pointing a finger directly at Bruce! 

As the police got even closer, Bruce tried his best to talk them into believing him “Officers you have to listen to me, I did not take any money, and he never even announced that his money is missing. This is a set up! Officers you have to listen to me, this is a set up.”

But the police ignored every word he said, pushing Bruce to hit his face against the wall while they cuffed his hands behind him.

“Mr Bruce Ortiz, you're under arrest for the theft of $750,000 from the Salvator Construction Company, anything you say or do would be used against you in the court of law.”
