✩★✩ 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

"Good morning.""Good morning.""It's uh…it's good to see you back at work."He had resumed for more than a week but his COO hadn't stopped by his office to see him. "Thanks.""So, any plans for the grand opening of the super mall?"Even though they had already named the mall, most people still called it 'the super mall' himself included. "Nothing special. It's going to be just a normal opening. We'll have some members of the press and we should probably invite some members of the board as well. Probably just one or two.""Okay, I'll get right to it."He wasn't so sure if he wanted Mike to be in charge of anything just yet, but then again if he was busy with the invitation, it could give him more space and time to prepare with Grover. "Okay, and who else do you think we can invite?""Maybe some important members of the society, some of our business partners….oh and the supplier."The supplier. Kelly. Lucas wasn't sure if he wanted her to be there, but if what Ivy said was actually tru
The Billionaire Son-in-law 141. The Warning.
A quote once said: “The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.” Ivy Mochi was exactly that type of strong woman. She always made sure she came through, no matter what she could be facing. Whenever things got tough or it felt like she was at a dead end, she would keep pushing until she makes her way.That determination. It was one of the reasons Lucas loved her so dearly, among many other reasons. The difficult task she was currently facing was making a decision. She felt like she was caught between the hammer and the anvil. She trusted Lucas totally, so she wasn't worried that he would do anything to harm her in any way.But, selling the company felt like a really huge decision…especially since she would be selling it behind her mother's back.The trade had its advantages and it also had its d

"Good morning sire, I wasn't expecting to see you today.""Yeah, well I just thought I should stop by to see you since it's been a while." The real motive behind his visit was to ask if Grover knew any competent broker and then find a way to tell him his plan."Well, it's good that you're concerned about me." The old man commented with a smile. Lucas knew that Grover was aware he had an ulterior motive so he just decided to announce it and save him the stress of asking. "Also, I need a broker.""Whatever for? I don't mean to pry in your personal business and you clearly don't owe me any explanation, I was just interested in knowing.""Of course. The thing is, I want to sell the super mall." He blurted out and paused to read the man's expression."Sell it?" He asked, his facial expression was still quite difficult to read. "Yes…and I want Ivy to buy it." Just then, the young slender maid that always served him snacks walked in, reducing the tension in the air by half. "Oh treat, grea

Lucas watched as his wife fiddled with the straps of her dress. She was nervous, and he could tell. It was her first meeting with the broker Grover had arranged for them. "How do I look?" She asked again scanning her reflection in the human sized mirror on the closet door. "My answer is the same as the other six times you asked me, you look great." She smiled at the compliment but she didn't seem convinced. She kept checking her outfit, looking for any flaw. "Do you think the dress is too short? I mean I'm supposed to dress formal, not like I'm going on a date.""It's not too short, you look gorgeous Ivy." When she didn't stop her restless moving he moved towards her and placed his hands on both her shoulders to cease her movement. "Ivy love, look at me. You look lovely. It's not too much and you're definitely not underdressed. You are beautiful." She was beautiful. Her copper skin was effortlessly smooth and flawless, and her blissful brown eyss that he always managed to get lost

"Sire, about the number you wanted me to work on, well…I have good news and bad news.""Then can I hear the bad news first?""I'm afraid I still do not know the owner of the mystery number.""Oh," that was indeed bad news. He was really hoping to uncover the mystery behind his anonymous caller. "So, what's the good news?" Hopefully it would lighten up his mood, even if it was only a little bit."I was able to access his call logs.""Really?" It wasn't exactly the owner but at least it was something. "What did you find out?" He leaned forward in his chair, eager to hear what the old man had to say. "From what I saw, the most frequent callers were none other than your in-laws.""Blanche?""And her husband, Milo.""Do you think they know too?" The last thing he needed was someone like Blanche finding out his secret."I don't think so. If Blanche was aware you have possession of your parent's fortune, you would know. She would definitely show it, one way or the other.""Okay, but we have
The Billionaire Son-in-law 145. The Deed.
"Sir, what should we do about him? Since he returned to work it's been difficult for me to import and export things safely.""What do you suggest we do with him?""I don't know sir, but things were better when he wasn't at work.""So, is that an excuse for you to liberate yourself? It has been four days and you still don't have it.""Sir, I…I'm working on it. I just need a little more time.""A little time huh? You have two days, if I don't get what I want in the next two days, you're going to be sorry."★★★"Good morning boss man." "Mike, how nice of you to stop by these parts." It was the second time in a row that he would be coming to his office, definitely he needed something."How was the weekend?" He asked as he took a seat across Lucas. Even though he tried to act casual, Lucas could tell that that was all it was…an act."Fairly good. Is there something you want to tell me?""Not really. The grand opening is in two days and everything is completely set. All the invite has been
