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."
The Billionaire Son-in-law 121. Sister From Another Mother.
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.

The Billionaire Son-in-law 123. Ivy.
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

Lucas stood by the entrance of the room, contemplating on if going outside would be a good idea or a bad one.On one hand, he wanted to go out to defend Ivy, because he always hated it whenever her mother was talking to her the way she was doing now, it always made Ivy feel bad…even though she was hardly ever at fault.But on the other hand, he wasn't sure if he wanted her to know he was awake just yet, letting everyone think he was still unconscious might be an advantage to them.After almost ten minutes of waiting impatiently, and occasionally pacing around, he finally decided to let Ivy deal with the issue herself.Ever since they were younger, Ivy didn't like standing up to her mother, so he always did it for her, it didn't matter that he would be punished for it.He could remember when he was sixteen, Blanche was throwing Ivy a party for her fourteen years birthday and she wanted to decorate her up to her taste…of course Ivy didn't want to but, she couldn't voice out her complain
The Billionaire Son-in-law 125. Michael Kingston.
It is said that when the brain develops cold indifference and logic as its primary decision making duo, bad choices are made. We evolved to use empathy and logic together, which boosts creative perspective taking, which boosts the discovery of peaceful solutions.But where do our decisions come from?Decisions should come from your sense of empathy and creative perspective taking, combined with logic and grounded in reality. For when we make choices this way, they are better choices.Now, a lot of people believe that a person can only have two choices. Yes or no. Up or down. Good or bad. But that is wrong.Choices are hardly ever a fork of two pathways, we just have to open our eyes a little wider, and many other pathways appear. The right path for one person can be different from another and only the inner compass of love and passion can illuminate it for that soul to walk upon.Mike stared intently at the ceiling, as if the answers he was looking for were, somehow, written there.

They decided to go for drinks to celebrate the success of the first hearing. Mike and Avery went with them as well. "To a great start." Mike toasted."To a great start." They chorused. "To a happy ending." Ivy added and they toasted to that as well. "Thank you both for sticking with us, you're one in a million.""You don't have to thank us, we're practically family now." Avery said as she squeezed Ivy's hand gently. "I know that if it were us, you guys would do the same for us.""I love you guys. Come on, let's mske one more toast." She refilled her glass and raised it up. "To friendship.""To friendship."★★★Lucas knew it was only the beginning but he and Ivy were long due for a date.This time, he didn't do something fancy or extravagant. Instead he organised a simple picnic, just the two of them like a young unmarried couple enjoying the beautiful day in autumn.Lucas was a lover of the autumn, of the colours that were bold and homely, strong and yet a call to remember our Earth

"Hey, did you get those files I asked for?""Yes sir, I dropped them on your table earlier.""Okay thanks." Jones has been trying to dig up something on Blanche but it was more difficult than he had expected it to be. If he was just a rookie cop, he would believe she was innocent because her records were clean…too clean.He had tried investigating her movements for the past few weeks but he got nothing. Hopefully, he would strike gold this time.He got a call earlier that day that Lucas was finally awake but they kept it a secret from everyone. He would have to stop by and have a word with him, probably when his wife wasn't around.He was also thinking of paying Grover a visit because if he was being honest, the man had helped in the investigation as well.The issue of the death of the Williams was still tangled up because aside from the fact that Blanche went with them on vacation, he couldn't find anything else that pointed their deaths to her. Grover seemed to believe she was resp
