Ivy called Lucas, she said she couldn't keep up with the act any longer. Her mother had introduced her to several doctors and she had to come up with different ideas to turn them away."I'm running out of ideas Lucas." She complained over the phone."I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you. I think it's high time I came back home.""Yes please.""Okay, I'll be home by tomorrow.""Okay honey, can't wait to see you.""Same here my love."They had gotten enough proof already so she was right, spending any more time outside would be highly redundant. He gathered his things in his little bag and left it by the bed. "Room service." The brunette called from the other aide if the door.Not again. This lady was really adamant. He wondered how much Andreas had paid her to make her try this hard. Sometimes, Lucas felt bad for addressing her as brunette instead of getting her name, but other times, he just didn't care.The last stunt she pulled was really annoying. He had gone out for a s

"Good morning sir, how was your night?""It was very fine, thanks for asking.""I brought you a cup of coffee air.""Thank you." Tracy's behaviour was really starting to bother him. She was always very nice, too nice for Lucas's comfort."If you need anything else, I'm only a call away.""Right, okay." She flashed him one of her signature broad smiles before leaving his office.He didn't even have time to feel uncomfortable before his father in-law called him. "Father, I must say I'm impressed, I have no idea you had my number."He grumbled something like never mind that, or so before going on to mention the reason for his call. It had been two days, he wanted Ivy."I'm sorry Father but I'm not quite sure I'll be able to do that. You see, I made a vow with my wife, and that's Ivy, that I was going to be by her side will our dying days and that won't be possible if I let some guy take her to England. So as much as I hate going against your orders, I'm going to have to say no to your re

"What is taking so long? You've been on this for weeks now and still no result.""It's not as easy as it sounds, you have to be patient sir.""I don't have time to be patient! You're a woman for God's sake. How hard can it be to seduce a man?" His voice vibrated with anger as he spoke. "You're wasting my time.""I'm trying my best, but he's refusing to fall.""I knew I should have never trusted you with this. You're a failure!." "Please, give me some time, I promise I–""That's enough! You've wasted enough of my time. I'll handle things my way now. All you have to do is get him alone, and leave the rest to me. Is that clear?""Yes sir.""Good. Now leave my sight. I'll show Lucas Williams that no one ever stands up to me and wins."★★★"Honey? Can you see what I'm seeing?" Ivy asked as she sat up straight. "It looks like someone at your workplace has been caught in a scandal."She stared at him but he didn't respond, instead his gaze was fixated on his phone. "Lucas?"She scrolled fur

"Are you the one behind all this?""No. I was actually quite surprised when I saw the news.""Then who could it be?""I have no idea but I must say, I'm impressed. Everything must have been well planned, and the timing is perfect. Do you think he can come out of this?""I highly doubt it. There's solid evidence against him and he doesn't have any witness to prove his innocence.""That's good news for me. I don't even want him to escape this, it'll serve him right for going up against someone above his level.""Yes, finally someone would put him in his place once and for all."★★★"You came willingly.""I don't have any reason to hide or run, I'm innocent." This was the third time in two days that he would be summoned for more questioning, and he was being asked the same questions all over again.Why did he do it? Why was he alone with her after everyone else had gone? The same questions to which he would give the same answers."Miss Tracy said that wasn't your first time of doing some

Lucas still couldn't believe how the case turned around like that. He had hoped that the testimonies of his staffs would help but he never expected that turn of things."Section 500 of the criminal code Act states that any person who publishes any defamatory matter is guilty of misdemeanor and is liable to imprisonment for a year. Also, anyone who publishes a defamatory matter, knowing it is false is liable for two years imprisonment and up to a two thousand dollar fine.And it is very clear to us that Miss Tracy Houston reported my client to the authorities and sued him to court, knowing fully well that her accusations were false. So I appeal to the court to release my client and sentence the real criminal to two years imprisonment."Tracy looked like she was about to cry, and even after all she did to him, Lucas couldn't help but to feel bad for her.Now he was more than certain that someone pushed her to it, and he already knew that someone.
