The Billionaire Son-in-law 163. New Case.
Family. Your blood. Your clan. Your genre. Your household. Your kindred.People have many, many names for the word 'family' but yet, it felt like they hardly knew what it meant.People walk around daily using the word freely, calling people family only to still end up betraying them or hurting them. A family is supposed to be your home, your comfort zone. A place where you never have to re-earn your spot at the table, a place where once you've been accepted, you are supposed to be protected, to be kept safe, forever, no matter what.Ivy wished her family was like that.Having a good friend was a blessing. A blessing that most people weren't fortunate enough to have.There were different kinds of friends; the crazy one that always pushes you out of your comfort zone, that forces you to do the things you'd never normally do.The gossipy one, the one you only meet for interesting gossips, the one that's always there to update you on the latest news.The work friend, probably you only t
The Billionaire Son-in-law 164. The Affair.
Lucas sat awake in the pitch black room, he was having a hard time falling asleep. The fact that he might have a sister still bothered him greatly.If this sister was real, where had she been all these years? Was she older than he was?, was she still alive? Would she recognize him if they met?There were so many questions on his mind and he desperately wanted answers to them. He quietly got up, trying not to wake Ivy but just as he was about to get up, he heard her sleepy voice."Are you going somewhere?"He should have known she would wake up, Ivy had always been a light sleeper. The slightest sound or movement could wake her up. "I just need a glass of water. Do you want anything?""No, just hurry back.""Alright." Ivy was afraid of the dark so she always had trouble sleeping whenever it was dark, and Lucas on the other hand, couldn't sleep with the lights on. They concluded that she would let him turn off the light on the condition that he stayed with her all through the night.He

"Sir, have you decided on what to do with Miss Jacobs?" A tall, heavily built man addressed Marco as he approached him."Yes," he replied, eyeing his drink like he was displeased with the taste. "I realize now that I made a mistake. I should have ended her from the start." He took another brief sip of the coffee colored liquid and squeezed his face in distaste. "I told him I don't like bitter alcohol." He handed the almost full bottle to the hefty man who stood firmly by his chair. "Throw this away."He bowed slightly as he accepted the drink. "What are your orders sir?" He asked, his tone deep and bold, sounding like he was using a microphone."Finish her. Oh and please, do it discreetly. I wouldn't want this leading back to me.""Of course sir." He bowed and exited the room, leaving Marco alone with the empty glass he cradled in his hand.★★★"So Mr Williams, what is your relation to Miss Jacobs?" The slightly chubby officer asked as he stared firmly at Lucas like he was conducting

"I talked to Ivy about the auction and she said she feels like a cheat.""And how is that?""She feels bad for her mother and the other clients wanting to partake in the auction.""Oh, that is very benevolent of her but what are you going to do about it?""She wants me to hold a fair auction. Place the mall on a public sale and award it to the highest bidder.""So in other words, she's asking you to not get involved.""Yeah.""Can you do that?"That was the million dollar question. Could he look away? The mall was initially meant for his wife and now she was asking him to stay out of it.He was starting to regret announcing the sale of the mall in the first place. He knew if he was to give it to the highest bidder, there was hardly a chance for Ivy to win. "Sire, why don't you leave it to me? I'll try my best to make it even-handed in every respect, and I won't just award it to the highest bidder.""Is that possible?""Don't you trust me?"If course he trusted Grover. He had never gi

"For the last time, you have got to stop saying that, I have told you countless times that it is very stupid.""Then is your idea better? Are we to just sit by and watch that bastard take away everything?!""Of course not. We just have to take a more mature approach.""Okay, so pray tell, what is your proposal?""Thank you. Since it is very obvious that he would do anything for his family, I say we give him an offer he won't be able to refuse.""Money? I already tried, The greedy bastard refused.""Oh did he now?""Yes, he threw my cheque right at me.""And what was your offer?""Five million dollars for the buffoon to leave Ivy and not look back!""It's no surprise he refused. Anyway, I'm not talking about money my simple minded friend. I have no money to give to the likes of that boy, I'm talking about a more serious offer, one that he won't have a choice than to dance to our tune.""Oh, I see.""Yes.""What do you need me to do?""For now, nothing. When the time is right for you to
The Billionaire Son-in-law 168. August Visitor.
"Mrs Mochi, how are you?" A slender, pale skinned woman approached Blanche with an animated smile on her face but the other woman just looked uninterested. "It's been so long." She said as she extended her hand which Blanche reluctantly took."Yes." She replied dryly."How have you been? I haven't seen you since Blake's wedding. How's the family?""Fine." She eyed the woman who was dressed in a simple dark dress…like she was always putting on. This one was dark brown with reddish tint all over it. Blanche wondered if that was all she had in her closet."What are you doing here?" She asked."Isn't it obvious?" Blanche replied with a cold look on her face."Right. I invited you to my party the other day but you didn't make it.""Yes, I was busy." She wasn't actually busy that day, she just didn't want to attend the party. "What were you celebrating again?""Oh it was the celebration for the grand opening of my mall." She announced proudly."Your…your mall?" She couldn't believe it. "You

Lucas could not believe that Blanche and called them for such a trivial reason…but then again, she was Blanche Mochi, the woman was a drama Queen."Mother, is that the reason you called for this meeting?" Ivy asked, anger written all over her face."What is that supposed to mean? Are you supposed to take it so lightly? I tell you something that is bothering my heart and you just make it sound like it's nothing? Have you no human feelings at all?""What? What is that even supposed to mean? You called us like it was the end of the world and now that we're here, you're telling me this?""Don't you know Mabel? She had nothing! I was the one giving her things. She always begged from us, and now she owns a mall…a very huge one. I have visited that shopping mall countless times and I never knew she was the owner. Do you have any idea what that means for me?""So what? You want your own mall?" Ivy asked sarcastically but her expression chnaged in an instant, almost like she knew what her moth

"Grover, what are you doing outside? Were you so eager to see me that you couldn't wait inside?""Not quite. Master Lucas was here when I got your text.""For real? Fuck, I had no idea.""Relax, he doesn't suspect a thing.""Good, then I hope you keep it that way.""Of course, I just hope our agreement still stands.""Definitely.""Good." Grover handed the other man a small envelope. "You get the other half when the job is complete.""That wasn't our deal, you promised full payment.""Well now I am giving you half, take it or leave it.""Fine. But you better pay up immediately I'm done.""Gladly."★★★Lucas still wasn't sure of what he had witnessed, although he didn't have the time to think about it because he had trouble waiting for him at home. As he got to the front door, he expected to hear the loud voice of his mother in-law but he didn't… in fact, he didn't hear anything at all, and that was odd.Walking into the living room, he noticed her entire family were seated. "You're
