"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

FLASHBACK"Well, well, well, if it isn't Mr James Anthony Williams, I see you're doing well. Business is booming, people are chanting your name and even the Mayor loves you now. Your life is perfect isn't it?""What are you doing here Arthur? Because, last time I checked, you didn't want to see my face.""Well what can I say, I wasn't really in the mood back then.""So what do you want now?""Before you met Festus, it was just you and I but immediately that greedy crook came into your life, you stopped listening to me.""That isn't true at all, Arthur we're not children, I think I'm passed the age of choosing besties or anything like that. I thought we were three mature men who had business deals together. To me, there was no difference when it was just the two of us and when Festus was involved.""Well to me there was! There was a HUGE difference!""So what? Is that why you betrayed me? You were mad that I introduced him to our business so you decided that the best way to get back at

"Well, how does it feel to be back home?" Ivy asked Lucas who was examining their living room like it was a strange place."It feels…good. Feels like I haven't been here in years." He took a seat on the sofa, still looking around his home."I'm not the one who was hospitalized but I kinda feel that way too." Ivy said as she joined him."Yeah well that's probably because you barely came home at all.""I couldn't bear to leave you alone." She said simply as she stared into his pale blue eyes that always seemed to make her toes curl."I'm really sorry you went through so much because of me.""I'm the one who should be apologising, it should have been me and not you.""I'm glad it was me. I don't know what I would have done if something bad had happened to you." It was true. Lucas would have lost it if Ivy was the one who got shot, he could recall how he almost went crazy when she had an accident."So, what are you going to do now?""What do you mean?""I mean, you're back home now…are yo

"Ivy wait up! Please at least listen to me."Ivy doubled her pace in an attempt to shake off the other woman that was on her tail."At least hear me out before you decide that you want to make me your number one enemy.""You lied to me! I trusted you, even when my mind told me not to. I trusted you and what did you do?, you lied right to my face. Again and again!.""Ivy–""Our whole friendship was built on a lie. Did I even mean anything to you?""Of course you did, and you still do.""Yeah?...well I don't believe you.""Ivy–""You made a fool out of me Kelly, you probably thought I was stupid." Her mother had once told her that she trusted people too much, and it was one of her worst flaws. Even Lucas had made mention of it that she was too soft and she had the tendency of trusting people easily and now that she was experiencing the consequence, it wasn't feeling good."Of course not. I thought you were sweet and very kind.""What Lucas said about you, was it true or false?""Ivy pl

✩★✩ Ivy patiently awaited the arrival of her husband and not more than thirty minutes later, Lucas walked in. "I called, why didn't you answer?" She questioned as he shut the door."I'm sorry love, my battery is down. I forgot to charge it before leaving home and I didn't take my charger with me.""Did you go to see the detective?" "No, I wanted to go for a walk then I decided to stop by and see a friend. Is something wrong?"Ivy didn't know what to start with. She wanted to tell him about Kelly but she also wanted to question him about her mother. So she decided to weigh each issue and see which is heavier.If she talked about Kelly, Lucas would get mad, that was certain but, she could try to calm him down and with much persuasion, she could even get him to believe that she was on their side.Her mother's issues on the other hand, was completely different. If she brought it up, there was a possibility that Lucas would try to evade the matter totally. And if he didn't, she was afrai
The Billionaire Son-in-law 139. The Offer.
As evening casted her shadowy garment, when the breeze became brand-new and placid, the time of joyful reflection had arrived. He needed to clear his head, and so he dashed out, plodding into the silent street of their little town. He decided to take a slow walk, one that wouldn't lead him down the busy areas where shops and bars and restaurants dominated the surrounding, as well as the location that habited the crowds. He needed to think straight - alone. The cool breeze pricked his skin, holding the scent of earthy fragrance around the surrounding. His wife was a lovely woman, the only problem was her family. When Lucas was only ten, the Mochi family had taken him in and since then, adopted him. They weren't nice people and often treated him poorly but he had always believed their hatred towards him was because he and their daughter had fallen in love, and ran off to do a secret wedding. Lucas had already known his mother in law, Blanche, was a bad person, he was just sur
