"Good morning Mr Mike.""Morning Mrs Williams. To be honest, sometimes I feel weird calling you that." He admitted with a smile."Oh? Because of your CEO?" He nodded and she smiled. Working together on the super mall has made them a lot closer, they were even almost like friends. "Then why don't you address me casually, and I'll do the same with you.""I don't known if I can do that." "Just try it. I could call you Mike, or Mickey, any one you prefer. And you call me Ivy.""I don't know, it doesn't feel right."She knew he wouldn't agree to it, after all it wasn't the first time she would be asking him. "If it'll make you feel better, you can just call me Mrs Mochi.""Thanks, I think that's better."When Ivy met Mike for the first time, she thought he was one of those proud, rich guys who always acted cold around people. But as they got to know each other, she realized he was just really shy."So, how far are we in construction?""Well, I was there yesterday and from what I saw, thin

Lucas sat alone in his living room, it was a Saturday. A boring Saturday, and his first weekend alone in a long time. Ivy had gone over to her mother's for the weekend and he was missing her. He didn't feel the need to cook so he just had toast for breakfast and retired to the couch to kill time.His mind reverted to the board and how Ivy had defended the project perfectly. She definitely deserved a gift for that. Mike had apologized for not impressing him like Ivy did but he didn't hold any grudge against him. He was detached from his chain of thoughts when someone knocked on the door. "Hold on a minute." Lucas lazily got up and walked to the door, Taking one deliberately slow step after the other. He knew it wasn't Ivy and he didn't have any friends around so he knew it wasn't someone he knew.Lucas's lazy face turned into a stern frown as he saw his annoying smile. Marco Platana. The man who desperately wanted to steal his wife from him. Why was he here again? Surely Blanche would

The stars. Very beautiful.Thousands of sparkling diamonds just sitting up there in the sky, making the night sky look uniquely beautiful. Lucas loved looking up at the stars, watching each one twinkle in the clear dark blue sky.Whenever he looked up at them, he always felt…at peace. He couldn't quite understand it but seeing the moon and stars always made him relax. But unfortunately, it wasn't working this time.As he laid on the bench by the pond, his mind, replaying Grover's words over and over like a broken record, Lucas started to feel bleak. He felt dejected. He began to question every word, every feeling, every moment with her."Lucas?"He sat up at the sound of her voice."Are you okay? You've been acting weird since you got back from work. Did something happen?" The tone in her voice was unmistakable. She was worried. Worried about him.Could Grover be mistaken? He satred into her bright brown eyes as she moved to where he sat. He had known Ivy all his life, and she was ne

Lucas sat on the bed that felt slightly bigger without his partner. It was already well passed three AM and he still couldn't get any sleep. To think that Ivy was laying in the hospital bed unable to eat to drink anything without help.Blanche blamed him for what happened even though he didn't understand how any of it could be his fault. The doctor, who Lucas later found out his name was Faruk, told him Ivy was recovering well and her baby was still breathing as well. The only thing was left was for Ivy to regain function of her legs, and doctor Faruk said it could happen anytime.It could take months, or years. He remembered how heartbroken Ivy looked when he told her, she tried to put on a brave face but Lucas could see right through it.Mike had gone to see her as well to wish her speedy recovery. Lucas was glad to see her family and friends cheering her on, even Blanche tried to be on her best behavior around her.He was having a hard time focusing at work and he was slowly slippi

"Young master, I come bearing good news. I've found doctor Julie. Turns out she was away on a family vacation."Lucas jumped off his seat as he heard the news. "That's wonderful. What do we need to do now?""Well, we have to get an ambulance to move your wife to Julie's hospital.""Okay, I'll do that right away.""No need to stress yourself sire. We can get an ambulance from Julie's hospital, you just need to go and sign a transfer form at the hospital so they don't prevent them from taking her.""Okay, I'll head over there now." He hung up and rushed inside to change his clothes. As he got to the hospital, he marched straight to doctor Faruk's office and not surprisingly, he met Blanche there. "Are you here to do the right thing?"He ignored her and addressed the doctor. "I need to know the bill we've accumulated so I can pay.""I've taken care if it."He glanced at her but said nothing, instead he addressed doctor Faruk again. "If that's the case then I'd like to move my wife to an
