"Judging from Mike's conversation, it's possible someone might come to the house asking about the deed. So I think it'll be smart to be on the look out.""You're absolutely right sire, but…what if nobody does?""That's also a possibility.

"Did you hear the news mother?" Peter rushed to share his latest discovery with Blanche but she seemed less concerned."I have a lot on my mind Peter, I don't have time for the news."

She feared this day would come, she just didn't know it would be this fast.She slowly rose to her feet, her legs trembling with fright. "Wh..what…what are you doing here?" She did her best to sound bold but her unsteady voice betrayed her."I missed your birthday, so I thought I'd stop by and give you my gift in person." He smiled at her, an action that only sent chills down her spine."Pl…ple…please…" her voice quavered as she tried to speak. "Don't hurt me." She whispered as she slowly backed away from him. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Tears were starting to flow down her face as she realized that there was no escape for her. "Please, I'll do anything."

"Sis, I don't mean to be rude to you but I just have to say it, your behavior at the last meeting was very unacceptable. We were in the middle of a very crucial discussion and you just walked out on us.""I didn't mean to, I just had to attend to something super urgent."

" Mother, I know the situation of things aren't smiling at the moment but I want you to know that I am fully with you.""If you want to prove that you are indeed with this family, then you will do what I asked you to."

Lucas sat alone in his king-sized office, it felt peaceful once he was back in the comforts of his empty office. The meeting hadn't gone as he expected."I hear you're the one closest to the CEO (chief executive officer), is that true?" A short, pot-bellied man asked. "I am sure you know who I am.

He knew the reason they were all gathered, he just wanted to hear from the horse's mouth."To show my appreciation to you for your hard work, I would like to offer a new company car." He raised a car key to show everyone present. "A Lamborghini Veneno." He announced with pride.Lucas's eyes widened mom

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. ✩★✩ Ivy patiently awaited the arrival of her husband and not more than thirty minute
