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

Good day everyone, it's just me checking in again.I hope you all are enjoying the book so far, and I honestly appreciate your love and support so far.Well, before we dive into the next chapter, I though we could just a stroll down memory lane and re-experience our best moments from the previous chapters and you can let me know your best moments down in the comment section."Your Honor, my client has already been sentenced…for twenty years, I really don't see any reaon we have to add to it." Marco's lawyer had been trying to convince the Judge that he didn't need any extra sentence…and Lucas's lawyer wasn't having any of it.~~~★★★~~~"Your Honor, the sentence given to Mr Platana was for his illegal businesses and not for his other crime. Right in front of our very eyes, he attacked an officer of the law, took forceful possession of his firearm and shot an innocent man.""That was an accident.""Maybe, but he intended to shoot and kill an innocent woman. Was that an accident as well?

In the previous post, we talked about what was and what is, so in this part we will be diving into what will be.Grover seemed to believe she was responsible because she went with them but what he didn't know was that she wasn't the only one there. Lucas's parents left the mansion with Blanche but they stopped to pick up her husband, Milo on the way. Another surprise guest they had was none other than Mr William's best friend, Festus Augustine.So instead of one prime suspect, he had three, and they all had separate motives to harm the couple.Milo's and Festus' motives were very similar, it was obvious that both men were after the wealth of James williams.Blanche on the other hand wouldn't have wished him death, according to Grover, she was very much in love with James at the time so she couldn't have wished him death. But, she had a motive to kill his wife instead. Diving further, he noticed something that seemed to catch his attention. She was a suspect for murder but the allega

"What did my mother do?" She asked as she stood by the entrance."Ivy, when did you get back? I thought you went for a walk." Lucas immediately got to his feet."What did my mother do Lucas?" She repeated the question, tears already blurring her vision."Nothing, she didn't do anything." He tried to sound casual but she could see the unmistakable look of fear in his pale blue eyes, fear that she might have found out something."What are you hiding from me Lucas?" She questioned with trembling voice."Nothing.""Detective Jones, what are you doing here?" "We were just discussing the progress of the investigation.""Do not lie to me, I know what I heard Lucas." This was the worst way she could find out something so huge, and it was definitely not the way he intended on telling her. "Look Ivy, there's no easy way to say this but–""While I was investigating," detective Jones interrupted, drawing her attention to him. "I found out that your mother was an acquaintance to the main suspect

FLASHBACK.Twenty five years ago.James Williams was seated in front of the bald, old man before him. It was another tiresome day in front of Thomas Garcia, his rival and CEO of his opposing company. That day, he had gone there for the same reason he had been frequenting the company. He was waiting patiently for a positive reply until Thomas began to say;'I'm sorry to inform you that…' The rest of the sentence grew redundant to James's ears. His offer had been rejected. Again! He glanced up to the ceiling and shut his eyes tight, trying to contain the anger that was brewing inside of him. This was all Thomas's doing, that bastard!.James had been trying to get a permit to begin his new project but Thomas was doing all he could to prevent it from happening.Not wanting to go home and report the news of his failure to his wife he decided to go to the usual bar where he hung out with his friends.Being the kind of person that he was, James didn't have much friends. He wasn't exactly

"I have told my wife to place the bid. And here's my proposal. If she wins, you must all promise to make Ivy over here," he paused to steal a glance at her, and the worried state on her face propelled him to speak faster, "the family CEO, and never ever, mention us divorcing again." "And if she doesn't win?" Said Peter, almost instantly. He was losing his patience already. "Then, I'll leave her and never bother this family ever again." There was a loud gasp from Ivy, a slender hand covered on her opened mouth. This reaction followed a raucous laughter from Blanche, and Peter followed in the footsteps of his mother. Her mouth twitched with a smile, and let out a triumphant yelp. "Oh... So you, you want to tell me that... Seriously?" Another series of thundering laughter followed. "You think that she would win? That you can win this bet? Ha!" A faint tremor of amusement was on his lips. Lucas watched in silence all through their drama. He was certain that his wife would win.

"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

"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, 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 .

"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."

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.

"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
