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
FLASHBACK.The House of Freddie, three months ago."Hey Lucas, what's up?""Miss Jacobs. How are things going with the supplies?""Very smoothly. Your friend makes sure to inspect them very frequently.""As he should.""Sure. I just think it'll be more fun if you did it.""I'm afraid that's not part of my job." Lucas was really getting fed up with Kelly's behavior. Showing up at his workplace, constantly bothering him with texts and calls and he was partially certain she was stalking him."Can I ask you something?""Go ahead.""Before you got married, what was your relationship like?""I don't see how that concerns you."Lucas–""I already told you that whatever discussions we have will be strictly business. So the fact that you're here must mean that you have something business related to tell me.""You're my business Lucas. Can't you see how hot you make me?""I will not–""Just relax, this doesn't have to be hard. I want you, just say you want me too and then eveything is settled."
Lucas narrated the whole story to Ivy and she couldn't believe how blind she had been to the truth. "I feel so stupid. I can't believe I fell for her lies." She said after he was done."Hey, you don't have to beat yourself up about it. It's not your fault.""I should have been more suspicious. From the very first day when she said she was your friend, I should have known you would never hide such a thing from me. I can't believe I thought I had found my sister from another mother.""I'm really sorry Ivy.""Why are you sorry, it's not your fault.""It's not yours either. It could have happened to anyone." He knew his words didn't help much but he still tried to cheer her up. "The important thing is that her secret has been exposed and she can't lie to you anymore.""Yeah, it just sucks that she turned out to be fake.""I know love."★★★"Ivy please listen to me.""Why, so you can lie to me again? Just stay the hell away from me and my family Kelly.""Look, I know you must hate ne righ

Finally tings were starting to look up for Ivy, Lucas was healthy enough to walk around again and the doctor said he would be discharged by the end of the week. Finally she would be able to spend the night in the arms of her husband, and in the comfort of their home.She strolled down the white halls of the hospitals, smiling to herself as she hummed the tune of her favorite song.Sure there was still some loose ends that needed to be sorted out but if there was one thing she had learnt, it's that one should celebrate the little victories and keep fighting and hoping for the best."Ivy,do you have a minute?"She wasn't sure she was ready to hear whatever it was her mother had to say. "What do you want now mother?""Can't a mother just decide to check up on her child?""Of course you can, but we both know that's not why you're here. So why don't you just come out and tell me why you're really here?""When are you going to start trusting me again?""I don't know, maybe when you earn bac
