"Good morning sir." "Good morning." Andreas replied with a smug smile."I was talking to–" Lucas raised his finger to his lips. Shh. She responded with a slight nod and turned back to Andreas. "How may i help you?" "Yes, I would like an audience with your CEO.""How about you sir?" She asked Lucas, trying to sound casual."Same thing.""Alright. Follow me." She led both men to the elevator. "The ninth floor.""Wait! Are you telling me I have to ride in the same elevator with this idiot?! We're nowhere in the same class, and besides, I was here first so I should go up first!.""Sir, please be patient. It doesn't matter who got here first you have to ride the elevator together.""NO! I won't have that. I deserve to be respected! We are NOT the same!.""Sir,""Its okay, he can go up first. I'll wait. Wouldn't want anyone to wreck havoc at your workplace.""Better. It's good when a poor man knows himself." Andreas smiled, feeling proud of himself as Lucas got off the elevator. "Besides,
The Billionaire Son-in-law 12. Banned For Life.
"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

"Mr Williams?""Come in Mike." He walked in and stood in front of Lucas's table. "Please, sit down.""Thank you sir.""Yes well, I called you here to ask about the bidding. I wanted Ivy Mochi to be announced as the winner so, what happened?""Well sir, I went through her file and well…her bid wasn't high enough to meet the company's requirements so I thought I should inform you before making any decision."That might be a problem. Situations like this usually required an investor or someone who was willing to put down a lot of money, and Ivy didn't have anyone like that, her mother could probably help but he knew she wouldn't, especially because of the dare. "What should we do sir?""Give me some time to think, I'll let you know my decision.""Alright sir.""Thank you.""You're welcome sir."★★★"Look at what you've done Ivy, you've ruined us. How are you going to save us from this debt? Tell me!.""Mother, please calm down. The winner hasn't been announced yet, we might still have a
The Billionaire Son-in-law 14. The Announcement.
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

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
The Billionaire Son-in-law 16. Secrets.
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
The Billionaire Son-in-law 17. The CEO of Mochi Enterprises.
Ivy sat on the sofa reading the latest news online and a particular story caught her attention. 'Former millionaire hits rock bottom', she quickly clicked on the headline to read more.Andreas Peres, CEO of Peres industry and business partner to multiple companies has been said to have gone bankrupt. The reason for this is because of the announcement made by The House of Freddie.His staffs revealed that Mr Peres has began to hit rock bottom after all his business partners decided to cut ties with him to avoid getting on the bad side of House of Freddie.Among the top five latest news, Andreas's bankruptcy was one, two and three. The fourth just happened to be about her. 'Ivy Mochi signs contract with the House of Freddie.' She smiled, feeling proud of herself. She heard a knock on the door and she didn't even had to ask, she already knew who it was."Come in mother." Her mother was the only one that knocked like that. She would knock only three times, like she was some kind of cultis
The Billionaire Son-in-law 18. New Project.
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! Lucas!! You'll never guess what doctor Julie told me!""Okay." He replied casually and went back to the show he was watching."You're supposed to guess." She hit him on the chest."But you said I'll never guess what it is.""You were supposed to be more interested, darn it!""Right sorry. What did she say?""I'm not telling you anymore." She pouted and folded her arms."Aw come on, tell me.""No.""Come on, okay I'm sorry.""No. I'm not telling you. You'll have to wait nine months to see for yourself."She watched eagerly as his face went from confusion to excitement while he did the math. "Nine months- wait, you're pregnant?!""Yes!""Oh my goodness, that's wonderful.""I know.""Congratulations to us!""Yeah! I'm gonna be a mom… again.""Come on, let's call the guys so we can celebrate."★★★"Hey sis,""Peter?" Ivy's eyes widened as she saw her brother after all these months."Long time no see huh?""Oh come here." She pulled him in for a hug. "How've you been?""Good, I see

"Ivy, there's something important I would like to talk to you about.""Okay, go on.""I need to ask you a favor.""Anything honey.""Okay. I want you to be my next of kin.""What?""You know, in case anything bad happens to me-""No, zip it!""What? why?""Why the hell are you sounding like that?""Sounding like what?""Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Grover already did his worst and he failed terribly. The court has officially given you full rights over your parents fortune again, so why the hell would you talk like this?""I don't know. I just can't help but feel that Grover hasn't done his worst.""Well let him, we're going to be fine. Lucas , we have come a long way. Just look at all the nemesis you've had over the years . Smelly Andreas, yellow diamond guy, your COO- turned nemesis- turned best friend, my mother… and yet, none of them could defeat you.He's just a butler, he can't do anything.

"So, what are you planning on doing about the super mall? I mean, you can't just leave it vacant forever."Ivy was right, he hadn't really had the time to worry about it due to all the recent events that had been happening in his life. "You're right. What do you think we should do?" He threw the question back at her."I don't know. But for starters, I think you should probably employ some staff there. At least get some people to make you money.""I guess you're right. Do you have anyone in mind?""Um no, I actually don't. But I'm sure if you let your staff at the company know, they could make some recommendations.""That's true, I almost forgot I had a company.""Hehe, that's what happens when you're too rich." The couple laughed at her joke, forgetting their troubles for a brief moment. Moments like this.His life would be unbearable if it wasn't for moments like this.

Mia stretched as she stirred from her nap. She slowly sat up, yawning slightly."Did you enjoy your nap?"She smiled as she noticed detective Jones. "Yes, I did." She replied energetically, nodding her head."Good to know." He barely knew her but detective Jones found that he was already getting attached to her. Everything about her was utterly cute, her tiny voice, the way she smiled, the way she walked and even the way she snored lightly in her sleep.She folded her legs on the couch and hugged them to close her chest. "Now I'm hungry." She pouted as she rested her head on her knees.He laughed at her comment as he moved to sit next to her. "Well what do you want to eat?""I don't know, can we order pizza?""Sure."When the pizza finally arrived, she accepted it eagerly and rushed to the living room to show it to him. "Pizza's here.""Great." She set the pizza on the center table as he went to get drinks from the kitchen."How's master Lucas doing?" She asked with her mouth half ful

"What?!!" Grover barked at a young man who immediately dropped to his knees."I…I am truly sorry sir. They actually believed me at first, but then… uh…" The man stammered, unable to speak calmly."Will you quit stuttering and tell me what happened?!" The young man quavered at the sound of his voice."I'll tell you what happened." Festus intervened. "Milo! That son of a bitch double crossed us." He spat out, his face scrunched up in displeasure."Milo? Is he unaware that his wife works with us?""Of course not!. Haven't we all been in on this from the very begining?""How dare that nobody try to double cross me?""We have to teach him a lesson.""Of course we will. But first, you." He turned to the young man who was still on his knees."B… but s.. sir… I… I'm innocent.""Are you now? I gave you a simple task. Get the people to see the bad side of him, I even told you what to say… and yet you failed woefully. Can you see now that you deserve to be punished?""Please sir, I didn't do any

"You keep saying he won't show up, what are we going to do if he does? That boy can be unpredictable, you know.""Relax Festus, I already said he won't show up. And even if he does,I already have a plan for that as well. You know my dear friend, rumors are so easily spread among people,and our young friend here has some dirty rumors about him… all we have to do is dig it up.""Right, I see what you mean. We get someone to bring up all the rumors that had been spread before, and thanks to Marco Platana, we have quite a lot.""Exactly!""You know, now I actually hope he shows up. So I can watch him get really humiliated.""Indeed. And we'll be there to watch it all happen."★★★The announcer called his name and Lucas froze up. It was actually happening, he was the winner. He was getting an award.As he made his way to the stage, he noticed that some people were staring at him.

"Mother, hey, it is so nice of you to show up." Ivy said with a fake smile as she approached the woman who birthed her. "You know, it warms my heart that you two are here to support Lucas as well."Blanche's response was a hard glare and she scoffed at her daughter's words. "Oh Please, you know why your brother and I are here.""Of course, you are here to support your loving daughter and her hardworking husband.""Ivy–""It's okay mother, you don't have to say anything. I know exactly how you feel." Ivy was loving the look her mother had on her face, taunting her was making her feel so much better. Ivy was very unsure about the outcome of the event as well but she had been trying to put on a brave facade to reassure her husband. While it was true that Lucas was a good person and he always did the right thing, it was also very true that the world was a cruel place. And in some unfortunate situations, good people tend to suffer unjustly… especially if they were going up against powerf

247. Doubt
Detective Jones saw his opponent draw a weapon but he was too focused on the little lady in front of him to do anything about it. He felt the bullet pierce through his stomach and he clutched the wound, trying to minimize the bleeding. It wasn't the first time he would be getting shot but somehow, the pain was different this time around, probably the brand of the pistol was a high one. Slowly, his legs gave in and it was suddenly impossible for him to stand. He went down on his knees as he felt his blood wetting his shirt and down to his pants. He was losing blood… and he was losing too much of it. From the corner or his eyes, he noticed his attackers running off, probably to prevent people from seeing them and the young lady ran towards him.He tried to lay down gently, to prevent himself from hitting his head on the hard ground or else that could cause another crucial injury. Before he lost the strength to stay awake, he noticed her making a call. Hopefully, if the ambulance arr
