Lucas still wasn't sure of what he had witnessed, although he didn't have the time to think about it because he had trouble waiting for him at home. As he got to the front door, he expected to hear the loud voice of his mother in-law but he didn't… in fact, he didn't hear anything at all, and that was odd.Walking into the living room, he noticed her entire family were seated. "You're back, welcome." Ivy said as she noticed him. "Mother has something she would like to say." She pulled him by the arm and sat him down. "Go ahead mother.""Well, due to the latest update of things… I have decided that it would be best if we go underground for a while, to keep ourselves hidden, at least for a month or so."Lucas didn't know where the conversation was going but he was relatively sure he wasn't going to like it."Lucas, mother wants us to go to Georgia… my aunt lives there and she has been asking to meet Desmond, so… I thought that maybe…. we could go?" She said it like she was asking but

"No fucking way!." Andreas quickly turned up the volume to hear the news lady's announcement. "No fucking way." He repeated, obviously shocked by the news content. He brought out his phone and dialed Blanche's number. "Did you watch the news?""No, why?""Turn on your tv and check the news now.""What's so important that I have to see now?""Just check.""You know I'm busy, our trip was delayed and I can't let that happen again so I have to be fully prepared.""You might not have to go on that trip after you see what I'm talking about.""That serious?""See for yourself." She hung up and did what she was told and sure enough, the news content was a shocking one.Popular businessman Marco Platana has been arrested. He was taken from his house two days ago on the grounds of attempted murder and assault to Mr Lucas Williams, a staff at the prestigious company owned by multi billionaire, Mr Freddie Williams.Blanche's eyes widened in shock as she saw Marco in handcuffs on the news. "This

Ivy sat on the sofa in their cosy living room, staring at the files in her hands with pride. "Still can't believe it huh?" She looked up at him, a broad smile across her round face."I can't believe it Lucas. I am the CEO of the Mochi enterprises. Me." She put her hand on her chest as if to confirm her statement."Yes, you. You Ivy Mochi. The woman who deserves the best things in this life." He moved to seat by her side."Aww thanks, and thank you for this." She waved the documents in front of him. "Cause if it wasn't for you, none of it would have been possible.""You have done so much for me Ivy, even just being in my life is more than enough for me and I'm willing to do absolutely anything to make you happy.""You're the best Lucas Williams." She smiled and opened her arms for his hug."No, you are." He pulled her close and buried his face in her hair, breathing in the familiar scent of lavender and honey in her shampoo.★★★Ivy walked into their apartment and headed straight to th

Ivy was alone, again. Ever since her accident, she was always indoors. She couldn't go to work, neither could she go for her occasional strolls. She really hated being confined to that stupid chair.Doctor Julie said she was getting better, but she didn't feel any different. Sure she was starting to regain her sense of feeling in her legs, but they were still too heavy for her to move.She felt so helpless.She heard her mother's usual three knocks on the door and she went to open the door. "My Darling, are you okay? How's the fever?""Better mother." The reason for her obvious concern was because Ivy had called her mother earlier that she was sick and she needed her mother's care. "Thank you for coming so early." She said, even though her mother wasn't really early. She had called her by seven thirty, before Lucas left for work. And she was only arriving, nearly four hours later."Anything for you my dear." She dropped her bag on the center table as she settled on the couch. "I broug

"Mother, what are you doing here?" Ivy definitely wasn't expecting her mother to still be around. "Icy, we had an agreement and you just ruined our plans selfishly.""It wasn't out of selfishness mother, Lucas—""I knew it. I knew that imbecile would have something to do with it.""Mother, please calm down. I know you're bummed about the trip, I am too but I had to stay back to care for my husband.""Your so- called husband that couldn't support you going on a vacation with your family? What kind of husband is that?""Mother, we can reschedule for the trip, and this time Lucas would even come with us. But for now, there are a lot of things that need to be attended to.""Like what?""You don't need to know, all you need to know is that we're going through a rough patch at the moment. We'll be sure to let you know once everything has been cleared up. Now I don't mean to be rude but…" she didn't complete the sentence, instead she just pointed at the door."You're… walking… me out?
