"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 replied without even looking at him."But this is important. Remember the CEO of that huge company, Mr Williams…""...the one Lucas works for?""Yes. He's putting the newly built mall up for sale.""What?!" She sat up, her eyes lighting up with interest."Yes, so Lucas was telling the truth then.""So he was,""Do you know what this means mother?" He touched her arm slightly to emphasize on the importance of the news. "This is a huge opportunity for us. Can you imagine how much money we'll make if we buy it?""Buy it?""Yes. Just think about it. You have lots of rich friends, and so do I…if we were the owners of the mall, they would definitely patronise us and even bring their friends as well.""Yes…that's true."

"Hello kelly, did you miss me?"She felt her heartbeat slow down so much that she felt it had stopped completely. 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." She pleaded, even though she knew they were falling on deaf ears."No, no no no. You don't have to apologize for anything, after you left that day, I was so impressed.

"I really thought we could be friends." Ivy said, her voice was very quiet and she had the unmistakable look of heartbreak in her eyes."Me too Ivy." She aimed the weapon at Lucas's head. "I wish it didn't have to end this way." "Drop your weapon!" A deep male voice ordered.Lucas shut his eyes and heaved a breath of relief. Two officers tackled Kelly to the ground after her weapon had been taken from her. They handcuffed her and took her away while another officer rushed to help Lucas with his wound.An ambulance arrived minutes later and his wound was attended to. They offered to take him to the hospital but he refused, even though Ivy was upset about his decision."Alright take care sir." The officer greeted as he dropped them off at their house. "We'll let you know if we have any questions.""No problem officer, thank you."After they went in, Ivy rushed to the kitchen and returned with a tall glass. "What's that?"

"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." She apologized to her brother and turned to her mother who had refused to meet her gaze since she arrived. " 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." Blanche said with a frown."I can't."She finally looked at her. "Well why the hell not?!" "Because I sold the company." Ivy admitted with a low whisper."What! You…sold MY company?!" "Technically mother, it's my company…amd I sold it because I needed the money urgently.""What?! When did you start doing things behind my back?

The Billionaire Son-in-law 152. The COO
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. My name is Simon Orlando, I have been partners with this very company for quite some time now. Close to five years if I'm not mistaken, and we've never had any problems." There was no need for an introduction but he kept on going on about who he was and what he did."I know who you are Mr Orlando, what I still don't know is the reason for this meeting and that's what I'm more concerned about." 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
The Billionaire Son-in-law 153. Family.
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

"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 treid 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

Ivy was alone, again. Ever since her accident, she was always indoors. She couldn't go to work, neither could she go for her occasional strolls. She really hated being confined to that stupid chair.Doctor Julie said she was getting better, but she didn't feel any different. Sure she was starting to regain her sense of feeling in her legs, but they were still too heavy for her to move.She felt so helpless.She heard her mother's usual three knocks on the door and she went to open the door. "My Darling, are you okay? How's the fever?""Better mother." The reason for her obvious concern was because Ivy had called her mother earlier that she was sick and she needed her mother's care. "Thank you for coming so early." She said, even though her mother wasn't really early. She had called her by seven thirty, before Lucas left for work. And she was only arriving, nearly four hours later."Anything for you my dear." She dropped her bag on the center table as she settled on the couch. "I broug
