My Uncle Died,A Stranger Stole My Billion-Dollar InheritanceChapter 1
My uncle had no children of his own. He'd made his will years ago, leaving me his entire fortune—billions.
But the moment his funeral ended and I returned to his villa, a stranger barged in, claiming to be Harvey Dickerson's legal heir and demanding I leave.
"All of Mr. Dickerson's assets now belong to me. Get out. Now."
I didn't believe a word of it. Took him for a lunatic. Then he produced a will.
I stared at the two identical documents—his and mine—and immediately called the attorney.
Charles Finch examined both with painstaking care. When he finally looked up, his expression was grim.
"Mr. Abbott... I'm afraid your will has been superseded."
My mind went blank. Before I could even process what that meant, the stranger—Russ Finch—had already made himself comfortable on the sofa. Without hesitation, he reached beneath the cushions and retrieved my uncle's hidden stash of cigars. He lit one with the ease of someone who'd done it a thousand times.
I watched the smoke curl around his face, that silhouette somehow both foreign and achingly familiar.
"Who the hell are you?"
