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
The Billionaire Son-in-law 180. Lucas.
"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

"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

The Billionaire Son-in-law 184. In-laws.
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

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 back, welcome." Ivy said as she noticed him. "Mother has something she would like to say." She pulled him by the arm and sat him down. "Go ahead mother.""Well, due to the latest update of things… I have decided that it would be best if we go underground for a while, to keep ourselves hidden, at least for a month or so."Lucas didn't know where the conversation was going but he was relatively sure he wasn't going to like it."Lucas, mother wants us to go to Georgia… my aunt lives there and she has been asking to meet Desmond, so… I thought that maybe…. we could go?" She said it like she was asking but
