"What do you really want to do? Will you start up a business or you just want to lay low for a while?" Lucas wanted to offer her accommodation at the mansion but that would be risky, so he decided to help sort her out instead. "I wouldn't mind starting up a business but I'm not sure what to do.""Is there anything you like? Perhaps a hobby that you could earn from…or just something you're good at? The muffin shop isn't a bad idea either." "Yes but I know nothing about baking.""Oh okay then. Do you have anything on your mind?""Hmm…well I could own a food truck?""A food truck? Do you like cooking?""Hmm…not exactly. But I'm good at it.""Okay, so you want like a burger truck or…?""No. I'm going to make my local dishes.""Where are you from?""Mexico, yelapa.""Oh and what are the local dishes there?""There are quite a lot actually but I think I'll make the ones people are sure to enjoy. Like the burrito, tacos, tostadas, quezadilla and many more others.""Those all sound delicio

To be "Anxious" is normal when there is something important on the line, and there was something important on the line…his life. It's okay to feel it. All emotions are there to educate you. Lucas tried to comfort himself as he paced around nervously outside the court room.He didn't know what to expect, the happiness he felt before, his cheerful mood had disappeared completely, leaving behind this dreadful feeling.Lucas felt the need to move almost without end; if his limbs were moving the anxiety was gone, or at least he could ignore it a while. But once he stopped, it would slowly creep back into his mind like a disease, reminding him of the dangers that lurked if he failed to win the case."Hey love." Ivy approached him with concern all over her face. "Are you okay?"Ivy. His medicine.His guardian angel, he didn't think he would be able to do this if she wasn't with him.To Lucas, Ivy was his protector, his defender, a ride-or-die connection that stayed with him always and in all

The case had been going on for almost a month and even though they had substantial evidence, Lucas was shocked as to how difficult it was for them to get Marco convicted."We can add the illegal trafficking case now." The lawyer said, frowning at his cup."Are you sure it's the right time?" As impatient as Lucas was, he still didn't want to act carelessly."Very sure. During the next hearing, we bring in the Influential brothers and we can start from there.""Okay, do you need me to do anything?""Not at all, you just sit back and relax.""Okay." Lucas wish he could just sit and relax but he couldn't, he was in the middle of the biggest case of his life and every second, the fear of losing creeps into his mind and puts his nerves on edge. So, relaxing was the last thing on his mind.★★★"Mr Conrad Millie?""Yes?""You're under arrest.""What?!""You're entitled to an attorney but if you can't get one for yourself, the government will provide one for you and you are advised to watch y

"Are you deaf? Or am I speaking in a language you can't understand? Why the heck do you have to be so boneheaded all the time?"It did sound like his mother in-law was speaking in a language he couldn't understand, because he couldn't understand a damn thing she was saying."We're so close, so damn close. How can you just call us now and say you want us to back out? I mean, that can't be possible in a million years.""Mother, please calm down." Peter tried to cool her down. "You know I am always on your side and I always do what will make you happy.Mother, why are you insisting on us backing out? As Lucas said, we are already so close to winning, backing out now will make things worse.""Oh so now you're on Lucas's side huh? You're taking his side over your own mother?!""No, I would never. You know I am always on your side, come rain, come sun…this is just a really difficult issue.""I've said my bit, and that's what you all are going to do.""What is wrong with you mother? Why mus

Ivy froze in her steps as Platana snatched a gun from the police officer in front of him and aimed it at her. She knew she was supposed to run, or at least move out of the way but she couldn't.Fear crept into her mind and drilled her to the spot she stood. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed Lucas running towards her but before she could warn him, it was too late. She heard the loud bang of the gunshot and Lucas was bleeding terribly. She watched in horror as her husband fell to the ground and soon he was covered in a pool of blood."No, no, please stay with me." She felt horrible and her entire body was trembling badly.Some of the people present in court ran out while others watched, gasping and pointing at Platana. The lawyer rushed to them and pressed his hands on Lucas's wound. "I already called the ambulance and they're on their way." He announced without taking his eyes off Lucas.She heard him call her name but he couldn't say anything else because of the blood spillin
