The Billionaire Son-in-law 113. A Friend Indeed.
"Please Augustine, I'm begging you.""I can see that.""Please, don't do this.""Do what?""Please Augustine." Blanche had been begging for almost an hour but it wasn't having any effect on him. "She's my only daughter, please don't do anything to her.""Blanche, what did I tell you about people begging me?"She couldn't answer because what he had said was that he loved putting people in the position where they would have to beg him 'It makes it very easy to extort their weakness' he had said. Blanche had dealt with many callous men over the years and somehow the title of the scariest never left Augustine.He was as ruthless as he was brutal. He even killed his brother's wife over some property and framed his brother for it. His brother was still serving his life sentence while Augustine got to roam free.Blanche did something she had not done in a very long time, she squeezed her hand into a tight fist and slowly got to her knees. "Augustine, I've tried eveything I know how to, Ivy i
The Billionaire Son-in-law 114. Bow To Fate.
Having a good friend was a blessing. A blessing that most people weren't fortunate enough to have.There were different kinds of friends; the crazy one that always pushes you out of your comfort zone, that forces you to do the things you'd never normally do.The gossipy one, the one you only meet for interesting gossips, the one that's always there to update you on the latest news.The work friend, probably you only talk at work, that's the foundation of your friendship. Any meeting outside your work space won't be as strong.Then there's one more, the rarest kind of friends, the loyal ones…and that was Ivy's kind.Ivy was not the flash friend, the one everyone wanted to copy and follow around... She was the raw and vulnerable friend, the one who would wear her heart on her sleeve and make it okay for others to do the same. She was the one you can run to, cry with until the snot runs down your face... and will love you all the more for being so honest and trusting. That was Ivy. Kel
The Billionaire Son-in-law 115. Frank Augustine.
"Um excuse me, are you lost?" Ivy asked the tall, slender guy snooping around Lucas's room."Ivy?""Yeah. I'm sorry, have we met?""A long time ago, I'm not surprised you don't remember."Ivy kept staring at the tall dark skinned guy that claimed to know her. He didn't even look faintly familiar, she was sure she had never seen him before. She would never forget that face or his emotionless voice. "What do you wwnt?""That's no way to speak to an old friend Ivy."Even the way he said her name creeped her out. "Look, I have no idea who you are and if you're not going to tell me, then I suggest you take your leave. I have more important things to attend to."The next thing that happened shocked Ivy almost to the point of passing out. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her violently towards him and before she had the chance to complain, he held her by her neck and pined her to the wall."I heard you were a rude little bitch, but listen swethesrt, you can't talk to me in that manner. You und
The Billionaire Son-in-law 116. Mother-Daughter Duel
"Hey my darling.""Hi mother." Ivy didn't know how she was supposed to feel around her mother, ever since she found out about the beta blockers, she couldn't help but to wonder what other secrets her mother may be keeping from her."How are you holding up?""I'm okay.""Is Lucas getting any better?""Since when do you care about Lucas's health? I thoght you wanted me to move on.""Now Ivy, there's no reason to be rude."She didn't mean to be rude, it was just that she was getting angry just seeing her face. She had so many questions she needed answers to but unfortunately, she couldn't ask any…except one. "Who the hell is Frank Augustine?""What?" The question seemed to shock her because she froze up for a second. "How do you know that name?""The motherfucker showed up here and almost killed me.""What?" This tine she looked more pissed than shocked. "He hurt you?""He literally strangled me.""Oh I am so sorry Ivy, this is all my fault. I should have had a proper introduction betwee
The Billionaire Son-in-law 117. A Miracle.
FLASHBACK.Ivy and Lucas decided to spend their anniversary at Larry's meat shack, the place they shared their very first kiss together. As weird as the name might sound, Larry's meat shack was not a place where a bunch weirdos sell meat. In fact, their menu barely had meat in it.Larry's restaurant rose to fame when his famous rib steak became…well…famous. People from all over town came over to have some of his steak and in no time, he had made a name for himself. Ivy wanted to look her best to impress Lucas, although she knew that whatever she wore didn't matter, his compliments were always the same. "It doesn't matter what you wear, you're gorgeous all the time." Still, she wanted to make an impression.She decided she was going to wear her favourite outfit, a royal blue dress that was flair from the waist down. It reached just above her knees and the reason she loved it so much was because of the beautiful pink bow that was used to adorn the waist line.Like her mother always sa

What are miracles?Miracles are basically anything thay happens under special circumstances.Miracles can be the smallest of things and are often for your eyes only. They are the invitations the good universe sends, and you can accept them or not. Personally, it is recommended that you let the gratitude in.Ever since Lucas had been in coma, Ivy had been praying for a miracle. After a while she started to lose hope in miracles altogether, if only she knew what the universe had installed for her. She took her time in cleaning him, like she always did. Desmond laid on his father, giggling and mumbling like it was nobody's business.Sometimes Ivy envied babies, they didn't understand anything happening in their surrounding. All they did was eat, play and sleep, and if they experienced any slight discomfort, all they had to do was cry and people would be swarming around them."Having fun?" Desmond's reply was a cute baby mumble and she smiled. "That's good." She patted his tiny head and

Ivy was hesitating and Lucas could feel it, he just didn't know what could be so bothersome for her to say. He had already promised not to get mad but he could feel the tinge of anger forming at the back of his mind.Just before she could say what was on her mind, a tall, slender guy walked in. He scanned the room like he was searching for something before his eyes finally landed on Ivy. He smiled at her but she frowned.From the way he looked, Lucas guessed that he might be Ivy's or Peter's age mate but he left his beard unshaved probably to look older. Even though he wasn't formally dressed, Lucas could tell he was the son of some rich man.He wore a Louis Vuitton shirt with a denim shirt and a pair of Air Jordan sneakers. Everything he wore from top to bottom screamed wealth, even the bottle of wine he held was expensive."Ivy, my love." His comment only made Ivy frown harder. "Here, I brought you this." He held out a bottle of wine but she didn't accept it. "Look Ivy, I know I did

"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. All that power he had was when he was in control of your wealth, he doesn't hav

"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. The time where they would just forget about their worries, times when they would pretend like their world was okay

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

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, prob

"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. Some with shock, some with envy, others just stared, wide eyed and expressionless.He took the mike and decide
248. Worst Nightmare
"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

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
