FLASHBACK.The Mochi residence, thirteen years ago."Ivy dear, Lucas come here."The duo left their movie and ran eagerly to Blanche who sat at the dining. "Here you go." She handed them their usual medication which they didn't hesitate to use."Mother," Ivy started after she swallowed the pill. "Why do we have to use this pill? Are we sick?""No my darling, you're not sick. This is just supplements to make you stronger and healthier. They're called multivitamins.""Ohh…but what about Peter, doesn't he need to be stronger?""Peter is still young, his body isn't strong enough to withstand the drug.""Oh okay.""Mother, why do I always take extra? Am I sick?" Lucas had always wondered why he had to use two pills and Ivy just used one."Yes, your filthy parents didn't take care of you because they were poor, and now the responsibility has unfortunately fallen on my shoulders."Lucas still wasn't satisfied with his foster mom's explanation because he didn't remember his parents being poor

The case of the Mochis and the Williams was a very complicated one. The more he dived deeper into it, the more tangled it kept getting.At first he thought the hatred Blanche Mochi had towards Lucas was just a simple rich woman thing. He thought it was just some rich woman who harbored hatred for a poor guy going near hee daughter, because something like that was very common with wealthy folks.He didn't understand the way some people think. Just because someone was poor, they would isolate them and treated them like they're not humans. When he was younger, he was also a victim of such treatment. His dad was a low paid officer and his mom worked a cafe, as a cleaning lady.He was the main subject of bully for all the rich kids at his school and his neighborhood, and he thought they treated him that way because they were kids, maybe they were immature. But it turned out they were just like their parents.Many times he had witnessed the horrible way people talked to his mother, the way

Having a good friend was a blessing. A blessing that most people weren't fortunate enough to have.There were different kinds of friends; the crazy one that always pushes you out of your comfort zone, that forces you to do the things you'd never normally do.The gossipy one, the one you only meet for interesting gossips, the one that's always there to update you on the latest news.The work friend, probably you only talk at work, that's the foundation of your friendship. Any meeting outside your work space won't be as strong.Then there's one more, the rarest kind of friends, the loyal ones…and that was Ivy's kind.Ivy was not the flash friend, the one everyone wanted to copy and follow around... She was the raw and vulnerable friend, the one who would wear her heart on her sleeve and make it okay for others to do the same. She was the one you can run to, cry with until the snot runs down your face... and will love you all the more for being so honest and trusting. That was Ivy. Kel

"Hey my darling.""Hi mother." Ivy didn't know how she was supposed to feel around her mother, ever since she found out about the beta blockers, she couldn't help but to wonder what other secrets her mother may be keeping from her."How are you holding up?""I'm okay.""Is Lucas getting any better?""Since when do you care about Lucas's health? I thoght you wanted me to move on.""Now Ivy, there's no reason to be rude."She didn't mean to be rude, it was just that she was getting angry just seeing her face. She had so many questions she needed answers to but unfortunately, she couldn't ask any…except one. "Who the hell is Frank Augustine?""What?" The question seemed to shock her because she froze up for a second. "How do you know that name?""The motherfucker showed up here and almost killed me.""What?" This tine she looked more pissed than shocked. "He hurt you?""He literally strangled me.""Oh I am so sorry Ivy, this is all my fault. I should have had a proper introduction betwee
