The Billionaire Son-in-law 155. Past Events.
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
The Billionaire Son-in-law 156. Flashback.
The cold in the room suddenly snapped at Lucas, his whole body shivering. He was happy, but at the same time, it was almost too much. "You want me to reclaim the family's fortune, now?" He asked, his pale blue eyes staring brightly at his butler. Of course that would someday have to happen, if truly he was the son they'd all been searching for. Only, he wasn't ready yet. It wasn't really something he'd ever prepared himself for. After all, no one had suddenly woken up to the realization that they might be the son of an insanely rich family! Grover on the other hand, he begged to differ. "Sire, this household has been waiting for you for years now. It is time." In his voice came confidence and determination. He knew he could die anytime soon, in fact, he was ready to. Only, his promise had to come to fulfillment. And that would only happen if Lucas agreed to reclaim his family's fortune. "Okay, if that's true then," the younger man said, leaning forward in the comfortable chair.

The Billionaire Son-in-law 159. Extreme Deal.
"What?" All eyes turned on him when he made mention of the super mall. Even Ivy turned to face him to hear the offer he wanted to make."I know you must have heard it on the news, it's up for sale. Many people are going extra miles just to get their hands on this property. The bring gifts, money, contract offers. One man even gave my boss a car just this morning…but what they don't know is that my boss isn't a man to be bought.He wants a sincere buyer. A buyer that would cut to the chase, rather than beating around the bush." He glanced at each of them, letting his words sink in their minds before his eyes finally fell on his wife. "Basically he wants a buyer like Ivy.""What? Buyer? What the hell is he talking about Ivy?" Blanche turned to her daughter who just kept her gaze fixed on Lucas as he went on to explain the rules of his offer."My offer is this. If Ivy and I mange to get our hands on the super mall, you–""What?!" Blanche interrupted. "You have already taken my company

The stars. Very beautiful.Thousands of sparkling diamonds just sitting up there in the sky, making the night sky look uniquely beautiful. Lucas loved looking up at the stars, watching each one twinkle in the clear dark blue sky.Whenever he looked up at them, he always felt…at peace. He couldn't quite understand it but seeing the moon and stars always made him relax. But unfortunately, it wasn't working this time.As he laid on the bench by the pond, his mind, replaying Grover's words over and over like a broken record, Lucas started to feel bleak. He felt dejected. He began to question every word, every feeling, every moment with her.Life, a mystery.So long, yet so short. So tough, yet so fragile. Life was a huge mystery that no one could understand. Although Soren Kierkegaard went on further to explain that:'Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.'It was a puzzle that no one could figure out. It has its ups and downs. Filled with twists and turns,

"That's wonderful, glad to see you're doing well. So, is there something on your mind? Because I doubt this visit was just for you to have tea with me.""No, its not." He agreed with a smile. " I see you still have that keen sense of observation.""It appears I still do.""Well it's good. You're right, I'm not just here for snacks, I want to ask you something.""Okay?""I was thinking of obtaining a property, and I know you have the connections that can make that easier for me.""What connections could I have compared to yours? You're a big man known by all.""Now you're just flattering me. By the way, are you still holding on to the deed of this mansion?""How is that relevant to our discussion?" Grover suspected that was the reason for his visit, thankfully Lucas had warned him that something like this would happen."Of course it isn't. I was just wondering, you have kept it safe for a very long time so it's only fair that you hold on to it. Right?""While it is true that I have hel
The Billionaire Son-in-law 162. Family Matters.
Lucas sat alone in his living room, it was a Saturday. A boring Saturday, and his first weekend alone in a long time. Ivy had gone over to her mother's for the weekend and he was missing her. He didn't feel the need to cook so he just had toast for breakfast and retired to the couch to kill time.His mind reverted to the board and how Ivy had defended the project perfectly. She definitely deserved a gift for that. Mike had apologized for not impressing him like Ivy did but he didn't hold any grudge against him. He was detached from his chain of thoughts when someone knocked on the door. "Hold on a minute." Lucas lazily got up and walked to the door, Taking one deliberately slow step after the other. He knew it wasn't Ivy and he didn't have any friends around so he knew it wasn't someone he knew.Lucas's lazy face turned into a stern frown as he saw his annoying smile. Marco Platana. The man who desperately wanted to steal his wife from him. Why was he here again? Surely Blanche would
