The Billionaire Son-in-law 171. The Plan.
"You want me to forgive you right?""Of course.""And you want us to go back to the way we used to be, correct?""Yes. I an truly sorry for all that happened Marco, really. There was nothing I could do to stop them, I tried… honestly I really did.""It's okay Blanche, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones… but only if you're willing to do something for me in return."She didn't know what he wanted to ask for and honestly, she didn't care… all that mattered was that she ended the rift between them. "I'll do anything.""Good. Find a way to seperate Ivy from that boy. Do this, and all will be forgiven."★★★Ivy laid on their bright cream colored couch, staring at the ceiling. Lucas had stepped out to see Grover earlier and she was feeling bored to the nth degree. Ever since she sold the company, boredom had been her companion. She couldn't visit her mother because she knew it would end in a fight, and she didn't really have friends.She remembered Marco and her heart suddenly doubled i
The Billionaire Son-in-law 172. Murder Suspect.
"Hi, you came to to work today." Mike said as he sat across Lucas. He didn't even knock before coming in but he decided not to say anything about it."Yeah. I've been dealing with some things lately that's why." He replied simply."Well, it's always good to have you around.""Yeah. So, how are things here?""Good.""I'm asking for an update Mike, how are things in the company?" He noticed that whenever he asked how things were, Mike never went pass 'good', and before he didn't say anything but lately he felt the need to double check on things."There's not much to say other than they're good. Everything is going smoothly, and that's that. I would never do anything to harm the company, don't you trust me?""This is my company Mike, is it not?" He asked, folding both hands on his desk."Definitely, but I am your COO and I feel that I–""And is it a crime for me to ask about the affairs of my own company?""No.""Okay, then when I ask for an update, I am expecting a full, detailed accoun
The Billionaire Son-in-law 173. The Arrest.
"Mr Lucas Williams?""Yeah?" Lucas satred at the tall, dark policeman who eyed him with displeasure."You're under arrest." He announced as he reached for his handcuffs."What for?""The murder of Miss kelly Jacobs." As he heard that, Lucas felt cold all of a sudden. "Kelly's dead?" The officer ignored his question and proceeded in cuffing him."Anything you say can, and will be used against you in the court of law. Come with me sir." He led him to the patrol car parked in front of their apartment.Throughout the drive to the station, Lucas sat quietly at the back, still trying to process what he heard. Kelly was dead. Dead, just like that. That morning, he had told himself he would pay her a visit to see if she was ready to talk, and now she was dead… and somehow he was the suspect.When they arrived at the station, he was taken to the interrogation room where a detective was waiting for him.He sat down and stared at the man in front of him. He wondered how he was a suspect when he
The Billionaire Son-in-law 174. The Fight.
"Lucas, what the hell is going on? Why are you being suspected for Kelly's death?" Ivy questioned on the drive back home. She had been going on about how she was upset that he would keep such a thing from her, and that she was suspicious of his behaviors lately."I have no idea!" He still hadn't been able to accept the fact that Kelly was dead just like that. He never actually liked her but he never wished her death at the same time."What is going on with you Lucas? I don't seem to understand you anymore. Ever since my mother suggested we go on a trip to Georgia, you turned yourself into a stranger at home. You barely talk to me and you never eat at home anymore. Does it bother you that much that I finally agreed with my mother on one thing?!"He kept mute. With the way Ivy was getting steamed up, pouring out his mind would only make things worse and he wasn't in the mood for a fight."What the hell is my offense huh?" She continued. "Tell me, cause I really want to know. Why are you
The Billionaire Son-in-law 175. Reconciliation.
Lucas laid in bed, he didn't have a particular thought in mind but he felt so… messed up. He didn't turn on the lights even though it was completely dark, there was nothing for him to see. The cracking sound of thunder could be heard and there was the occasional flashing of lightening that brightened up the room momentarily before disappearing and leaving the room in total darkness once more.He remembered how terrified Ivy always was of thunder and lightening. Whenever it rained, she would always curl up in his arms where she would stay until it eased off. Speaking of Ivy, how would she be fairing at the moment? He knew her mother wasn't aware of her daughter's heart- stopping fear of thunderstorms, in fact she was the cause if it.When Ivy was only twelve years old, she went to a party with her mother– or at least she was supposed to. Blanche told her to wait by the road while she ran a quick errand, and the poor girl was left all alone, and when the rain started, she didn't have
The Billionaire Son-in-law 176. Steady Backing.
"Honey, I am really, truly sorry for the way I acted." Lucas had been apologizing all morning, even though Ivy said she wasn't mad at him. "For the hundredth time– no, the one thousandth time Lucas, I am not upset anymore. I overreacted too, and I apologized. Are you still mad at me?""No, of course not. I was never mad at you.""Then it's settled." She said with a smile but then her face turned serious all of a sudden. "So what's up? You have to talk to me Lucas, I am your wife and I feel we should be able to communicate when we feel things aren't going right.""I know, and I am sorry. It's just that…" he didn't know where he was supposed to start from. "Things are just really…" He didn't know where to start from, things were really complicated for him.She took his hands in hers and smiled softly at him. "It's okay, take your time."As he stared into her dark eyes, Lucas felt a sense of kindred. Now that he thought about it, Ivy was the only family he had. He didn't remember his pa
The Billionaire Son-in-law 177. The COO
"There's been a new update." The officer in charge of Kelly's case announced. "The new autopsy we carried out shows that Miss kelly Jacobs died of poisoning." He said like it was nothing."So it means my client is innocent." Mr Manning said as he scanned through the autopsy result."It appears so." The officer didn't look particularly pleased that Lucas was innocent. He was probably satisfied that he had caught a culprit and solved the case but now things were different."So I'm free to go now?" He asked, eager that the whole thing would be behind him now."Yes sir, we're sorry for the inconvenience." It was very obvious that the apology was hollow."It's alright, I'm just glad that I get to go home without having to worry about coming hack here.""If I may ask, have you been able to apprehend the real culprit?" Mr Manning asked, looking serious."Not yet, but we're working on it. But my advise for you Mr Williams, is that you be careful from now on.""Careful? Why?""Seeing as the cu
