The Billionaire Son-in-law 19. The Birthday.
"Good morning, and happy birthday my love." Lucas placed a kiss on his wife's cheek as he handed her a cup of coffee."Thank you." She took a sip of the hot liquid before going back to her make up. Ivy's mother had insisted they spent the day at their house and Lucas didn't protest.She decided to doll herself up since it was her day so she chose a dark blue fitted dress that adored her curves perfectly. It stopped at her knees and it had a little slit in front, revealing a little amount of her thigh. Honoring Lucas's wish, her lush black hair was let down, adorned with shiny hair clips.Thanks to her mother, she had different brands of shoes and bags so finding the perfect shoe wasn't a problem. She chose a pair of Rosie glass heels and complimented it with her Louis Vuitton purse.She went with a dark red color for her lips and nude brown color for her eye shadow.She wore the necklace Lucas had given her on their anniversary and wore simple silver earrings. Lucas on the other hand

Lucas watched as Ivy scurried around trying to get ready for her meeting. She accepted the contract and would be meeting with Mike to finalize it.He remembered how happy she was when she saw it, she couldn't wait for him to get home from work, she called him and announced it happily.Deciding to keep it formal, she wore a black suit and wrapped her hair up in a tight bun. "How do I look?" She asked, without taking her eyes off the mirror."For the hundredth time Ivy, you look perfect." "Are you sure?""Positive.""Okay, thanks." She kissed him and grabbed her purse. "See you.""Bye." He called out as she ran out the door.★★★"I'm sorry I'm late, traffic was–""It's okay, I understand." Turns out Ivy was early, because she had to wait ten minutes before Mike's arrival."Let's get straight to the point shall we?" He brought out some documents from his suitcase and placed them on the table. Mr Williams wants us to build a super mall and although your company doesn't deal in architectu
The Billionaire Son-in-law 21. The Loan.
As the evening sky got darker, making way for the twinkling stars that were starting to shine, accompanied by the cresent moon, Ivy mochi walked back home, disappointment in her heart. It was a beautiful night, but she didn't have the time to admire the scenery. Her mother's words kept replaying over and over in her head. She knew her mother was angry about her taking over but she never thought she would refuse to help her.Her brother's reply wasn't any better and neither was her father's. "I'm sorry dear but i spent most of my money on your mother's new car. Maybe some other time." Some family she had.As she arrived home, she didn't even bother knocking. She retrieved her key from her purse and unlocked the door. Pushing it open, she rushed in and called for her husband. "Lucas?, Lucas?" There was no answer so she brought out her phone to dial him. She heard his phone ring from inside their bedroom so she went in and found him stretched out on the bed. "Lucas!" She went to where
The Billionaire Son-in-law 22. The Board.
"Good morning Mr Mike.""Morning Mrs Williams. To be honest, sometimes I feel weird calling you that." He admitted with a smile."Oh? Because of your CEO?" He nodded and she smiled. Working together on the super mall has made them a lot closer, they were even almost like friends. "Then why don't you address me casually, and I'll do the same with you.""I don't known if I can do that." "Just try it. I could call you Mike, or Mickey, any one you prefer. And you call me Ivy.""I don't know, it doesn't feel right."She knew he wouldn't agree to it, after all it wasn't the first time she would be asking him. "If it'll make you feel better, you can just call me Mrs Mochi.""Thanks, I think that's better."When Ivy met Mike for the first time, she thought he was one of those proud, rich guys who always acted cold around people. But as they got to know each other, she realized he was just really shy."So, how far are we in construction?""Well, I was there yesterday and from what I saw, thin
The Billionaire Son-in-law 23. Project Defense.
It had been almost a day and he still hadn't heard from Grover. He knew he was probably still busy but his anxiety kept increasing, and it was the same for Ivy as well. She was seriously worried and he wasn't sure of how he was to convince her again.Lucas kept checking his phone every minute, hoping to get a call or text from Grover but still nothing. That bastard, Marco Platana had made two more public announcements, calling Lucas's company a liar and a fraud. He claims that Lucas wants to build an unsteady mall that wouldn't last long. He said he was trying to prevent the calamities that would befall the society when the mall collapses.The worse part was that some of the people were starting to agree with him. Others still had faith in Lucas's company and were on his side so that was still good."This guy is ridiculous, I can't believe he would do something like this. I'm really starting to hate him more than smelly Andreas." Ivy lamented as she paced around."Relax, okay babe? I'
The Billionaire Son-in-law 24. The calm before the storm.
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

It was a full day already and Ivy still hadn't said a word about Peter's request. If he was being honest, Lucas felt a bit unhappy about the fact that she could hide it so well from him. He wanted to ask her about it but he didn't.If she didn't want to share, then there was no need to force her."Honey, I've made your breakfast so make sure you eat it before heading to work." She announced as she wallked hastily towards the exit."Why are you leaving so early today?""I have some left over work I need to attend to."Lucas didn't it whenever she was working too hard. "Can't you ask someone else to take care of it? I mean you're the CEO. You don't always have to do it all by yourself." He for one was very grateful for having Mike around. He could always be rest assured work was going smoothly, even when he wasn't there."I understand your concerns but I have to do this myself. Besides, I don't have anyone I can trust with it.""Then hire someone. A secretary, a personal assistant, anyo

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."Lucas?"He sat up at the sound of her voice."Are you okay? You've been acting weird since you got back from work. Did something happen?" The tone in her voice was unmistakable. She was worried. Worried about him.Could Grover be mistaken? He satred into her bright brown eyes as she moved to where he sat. He had known Ivy all his life, and she was ne
