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

The Billionaire Son-in-law 179. Coffee.
Lucas stared at the man seated across him, smiling brightly. He couldn't believe it, Mike was trying to get rid of him. But for what? Then it hit him. If he was out of the picture, there would be no one to question his authority, and he would have easy and unlimited access to the funds of the company.Why? He took Mike as more than a staff, he was a friend to him… a really close friend.Greed was a really terrible thing. The company his father built from the scratch, everything his parents worked for. First his cruel mother in-law/ foster mother tried to steal it from him. Now his friend was doing the same. He dropped the cup back on his desk and smiled. "You know, instead of taking coffee as a celebration drink, I was thinking that we should just go out… maybe for lunch.""Sure we could but first, we could take this as well. I know how much you love your coffee." He smiled, trying to convince Lucas. "You know, I was actually going to bring a bottle of wine, but then I remembered th

"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 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 hav
