"Good morning mother." Ivy greeted her mother as she entered her former home. The Mochi residence. Ivy lived there her whole life but she always felt like a stranger whenever she visited."You're here early." "I know. Lucas left early for work and I was bored so I thought I'd come early.""Oh please." She hushed Ivy's words with a wave of her hand as they walked in together. "You can't seriously tell me you believe that boy is actually working.""Of course I believe him mother. Why on earth would he lie to me about something like that?""He probably just said that so we'd stop pestering him to get a job."'Lucas would never do something like that and you know it. ""Whatever. Well, now that you're here, I have something important to tell you." Just then, the doorbell rang and she jumped up excitedly. "Who could that be?" Ivy knew her mother was planning something but she kept mute. "Oh look, it's Mr Peres." She flashed Ivy one of her best fake smiles as Andreas walked in."Ivy, so go

The week flew by so quickly and soon, it was Friday. Lucas, his wife and his in-laws gathered in his living room once more to watch the announcement of the bid winner. Blanche wasn't putting on a shouting color like last time, maybe she felt it was redundant. Instead she wore a light blue long sleeved and a well fitted skirt that reached below her knees. To finish it off was a fur coat and black high heels. While her bodyguard dressed the same way he did last time, just different colors."Happy birthday mother."Lucas commented with a smile but she just scoffed.The announcement began and this time it didn't take too long. After briefing the audience about what was going on, he announced the winner."--and the winner for the bid is…Mrs Ivy Mochi!! Congratulations ma'am." He invited her to the company to finish off the deal and with that, wrapped up the program."I…won?" Ivy asked in disbelief. "I won." She repeated more firmly. "I won, Lucas I won!" She jumped up, celebrating her victo

As he strolled through the halls of the mansion that still felt unfamiliar, he wondered why he had no memory of it, or his life there. He walked through the main living room, up the stairs and even checked out his late parent's room before ending his tour at his old bedroom.The bed was huge, big enough to accommodate his whole length even though he was pretty tall. The walls, ceiling and floor all had touches of gold, giving it a royal look. An exquisite chandelier hung in the middle of the ceiling, its beautiful crystal lights adding extra beauty to the already perfect room. To the left side of the room, a sliding door leading to a well decorated balcony stood firmly and as he approached it, the fragrance of Jasmine flowers hit him, reminding him once again of his love for them."How old was I when I slept in this room?""Well, you slept here till you were ten."Ten. He repeated in his head, absorbing the beauty of his childhood bedroom. To think that if his parents hadn't passed, h

At the Williams mansion, Lucas told Grover of his planning on moving in with his wife."Young master, I'm afraid I don't think I agree with this plan.""Why not?""Mrs Mochi lived here as a child as well and I'm afraid she might recall that."Grover was right. Why didn't he think of that? The fact that he didn't remember didn't mean it would be the same for Ivy. And besides, moving into a huge mansion might not be the best option when you're trying to hide your identity. "You're right. It might be suspicious to suddenly move into a big house.""Yes. Maybe we should wait a little while longer.""Maybe. Maybe when I don't have to hide my identity from her anymore.""Yes, that would be a better time." He still wasn't happy about lying to Ivy because he trusted her with his life, but it was probably for the best."Have you decided on what to do with the buildings?" Grover asked, probably trying to keep him from thinking."I have. I want to build a mall.""A mall?"He knew it didn't sound i

Lucas watched as Ivy scurried around trying to get ready for her meeting. She accepted the contract and would be meeting with Mike to finalize it.He remembered how happy she was when she saw it, she couldn't wait for him to get home from work, she called him and announced it happily.Deciding to keep it formal, she wore a black suit and wrapped her hair up in a tight bun. "How do I look?" She asked, without taking her eyes off the mirror."For the hundredth time Ivy, you look perfect." "Are you sure?""Positive.""Okay, thanks." She kissed him and grabbed her purse. "See you.""Bye." He called out as she ran out the door.★★★"I'm sorry I'm late, traffic was–""It's okay, I understand." Turns out Ivy was early, because she had to wait ten minutes before Mike's arrival."Let's get straight to the point shall we?" He brought out some documents from his suitcase and placed them on the table. Mr Williams wants us to build a super mall and although your company doesn't deal in architectu
