"Father, are you really not going to help me?""What you are asking of me is quite difficult dear. You are asking me to go against the entire family.""No, I am asking you to do the right thing. You owe him this much and you know that.""Ivy–""Father. You want me to forgive you for all you've done, right? And you want us to go back to the way we were?""Of course, but–""Then do this for me. You and mother took away everything he had, his parents, his fortune, his childhood… help him get it back.""Let's get something right. Neither your mother nor I are responsible for the death of Lucas's parents,""But you benefited from it, didn't you? And I'm sure you know who was responsible but you let him go… and for what, money? The house?""Don't sound like that Ivy.""Like how? I am asking for your help as your daughter, please father. Just testify in court saying you are aware that Lucas is the only heir to the fortune. Father please don't let the bad guys win.""But your mother–""... ca

"I don't know if you care or anything but Grover has ordered one of his men to kill Marco later tonight."Lucas wasn't sure how he was supposed to react to the news he just heard. On one hand, a part of him hated Marco for all he had done to he and Ivy and he told himself he didn't care about what would happen to him.While on the other hand, the other part doesn't want him to die. He hated him, that he could agree on, but his mind was conflicted. Saving Marco would be the right thing to do, but then he wasn't so sure if he wanted to do the right thing this time. If the tables were turned, he was certain Marco would leave him to die, and that was more than enough reason for Lucas to leave him to his unfortunate fate. But he was a good person and he heard that one should never regret being a good person… even if it was to the wrong person.Ivy had also told him that no matter what happens in life, he should always try to be a good person. He decided to ask her, and he would follow wha

"So you're telling me that Marco Platana is at your house as we speak?""Yeah, and we're not sure what to do with him. Ivy thinks we can get him to join us but I doubt the bastard will comply.""True." Lucas could never tell what the detective was thinking or if he was thinking at all. His expression was always hard and broody. His plan was to inform detective Jones about their 'predicament' and hope that he would know what to do about him.After waiting for what felt like an eternity, he finally looked up at Lucas. "Do you want him to help you in court?""I mean, the extra help wouldn't hurt.""Okay. Leave it to me then.""What are you going to do?" The look on his face was cold, leaving Lucas to wonder what he had in mind."Don't worry, and you don't have to look so worried, I'm not going to hurt him."★★★"Michael, are you being disloyal?"Mike's eyes widened as he heard the words come out of Grover's mouth. "N.. No Sir. I would never.""Are you sure?"Mike was about to reply when

Ivy sat in the living room, cradling Desmond in one arm, and a cup of coffee in another. Having Marco around had been too unbearable and so Lucas had taken him to detective Jones.She took a sip of the heated liquid in her little mug and inhaled as she felt the warmness of her drink slide pleasurably down her throat. Whenever Ivy drank coffee, she always felt calm, like she had just been relieved of a huge stress and that was part of the reason she loved it and could never give it up.She noticed that Desmond had already dozed off so she laid him gently on the couch and placed a light kiss on his forehead."Now, for me to get myself a snack." She always tried to keep herself from eating anything in front of Desmond because he would start crying and throwing a fit over it… even though he couldn't eat it yet.She had barely made it to the kitchen when she heard a loud thud against the door. "Who's there?" There was no reply, instead she heard the sound again. It was too loud to be a k

"It's not a hundred percent certain but… I have a plan.""We're listening.""Okay. It's not entirely certain but, there's a fair chance someone in your family is responsible for the kidnapping of your son." He didn't look at her but it was obvious that he was referring to Ivy."So what do we do?" Ivy asked, looking at Lucas."Lucas, you and Ivy are going to announce to the family that you have a meeting. But, Ivy, you won't attend.""Why not?""Lucas is going to tell your family that you're in a coma. That when those goons took your child, they attacked Ivy and she lost too much blood.""Okay but, aren't they going to ask to see me?""I can take care of that." Lucas added. "I can easily just talk to doctor Julie and get her to help us." Doctor Julie had become like their family. Her hospital was already their family hospital, and she was always supportive."Okay, that's good. So once we do that, we might be able to tell if either of them are responsible.""Wait, why do you think one o
