The Billionaire Son-in-law 187. Confession.
It is said that when the brain develops cold indifference and logic as its primary decision making duo, bad choices are made. We evolved to use empathy and logic together, which boosts creative perspective taking, which boosts the discovery of peaceful solutions.But where do our decisions come from?Decisions should come from your sense of empathy and creative perspective taking, combined with logic and grounded in reality. For when we make choices this way, they are better choices.Now, a lot of people believe that a person can only have two choices. Yes or no. Up or down. Good or bad. But that is wrong.Choices are hardly ever a fork of two pathways, we just have to open our eyes a little wider, and many other pathways appear. The right path for one person can be different from another and only the inner compass of love and passion can illuminate it for that soul to walk upon.Mike stared intently at the ceiling, as if the answers he was looking for were, somehow, written there.

The Billionaire Son-in-law 188. The News
"No fucking way!." Andreas quickly turned up the volume to hear the news lady's announcement. "No fucking way." He repeated, obviously shocked by the news content. He brought out his phone and dialed Blanche's number. "Did you watch the news?""No, why?""Turn on your tv and check the news now.""What's so important that I have to see now?""Just check.""You know I'm busy, our trip was delayed and I can't let that happen again so I have to be fully prepared.""You might not have to go on that trip after you see what I'm talking about.""That serious?""See for yourself." She hung up and did what she was told and sure enough, the news content was a shocking one.Popular businessman Marco Platana has been arrested. He was taken from his house two days ago on the grounds of attempted murder and assault to Mr Lucas Williams, a staff at the prestigious company owned by multi billionaire, Mr Freddie Williams.Blanche's eyes widened in shock as she saw Marco in handcuffs on the news.

Lucas hadn't heard from Richmond since he last saw him at the office and Ivy said he hadn't called her either. She said maybe he had finally given up but he knew he couldn't go away that easily.His phone rang out again and he checked the name, Andreas, again. What was this man looking for? And what was he trying to do?He called him late at night and said he had found his sister. The sister Lucas never had. Obviously Andreas was trying to mess with him.His phone vibrated and this time it was a text from Ivy. Meet me at mother's place now, please.He grabbed his phone and car keys and left the office. "Tracy?""Sir?" She jumped up from her desk, her usual broad smile on her face."I need to head out, if anyone asks of me, tell them I had a meeting to attend to.""Sure things sir. Should I tell Mike as well?""Yes please.""Alright.""I'll be back later.""Okay sir."Since the whole scene about him embezzling funds and being a fraud, Lucas had permanted his Ferrari at the mansion, on

Ivy sat on the sofa in their cosy living room, staring at the files in her hands with pride. "Still can't believe it huh?" She looked up at him, a broad smile across her round face."I can't believe it Lucas. I am the CEO of the Mochi enterprises. Me." She put her hand on her chest as if to confirm her statement."Yes, you. You Ivy Mochi. The woman who deserves the best things in this life." He moved to seat by her side."Aww thanks, and thank you for this." She waved the documents in front of him. "Cause if it wasn't for you, none of it would have been possible.""You have done so much for me Ivy, even just being in my life is more than enough for me and I'm willing to do absolutely anything to make you happy.""You're the best Lucas Williams." She smiled and opened her arms for his hug."No, you are." He pulled her close and buried his face in her hair, breathing in the familiar scent of lavender and honey in her shampoo.★★★Ivy walked into their apartment and headed straight to th

What are miracles?Miracles are basically anything thay happens under special circumstances.Miracles can be the smallest of things and are often for your eyes only. They are the invitations the good universe sends, and you can accept them or not. Personally, it is recommended that you let the gratitude in.Ever since Lucas had been in coma, Ivy had been praying for a miracle. After a while she started to lose hope in miracles altogether, if only she knew what the universe had installed for her. She took her time in cleaning him, like she always did. Desmond laid on his father, giggling and mumbling like it was nobody's business.Sometimes Ivy envied babies, they didn't understand anything happening in their surrounding. All they did was eat, play and sleep, and if they experienced any slight discomfort, all they had to do was cry and people would be swarming around them."Having fun?" Desmond's reply was a cute baby mumble and she smiled. "That's good." She patted his tiny head and
The Billionaire Son-in-law 192. The Discovery.
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

After he narrated his encounter with Mike to Ivy, she didn't say anything. Instead she just looked at a loss for words. He couldn't blame her, he was still a bit shocked himself.After a few seconds, she finally asked. "Are you serious about what you just said?" "It's not exactly something I would lie about.""You should fire him then! Today it's a poisoned coffee, tomorrow it could be a donut and the next, he's pointing a fucking gun at your head! You have to do something about him while you still can."Ivy was right, he would have to take precautionary measures… but what could he do? He couldn't trust Grover anymore and he couldn't report to the police based on his instincts alone… he needed to have solid proof against him."What about detective Jones?" Ivy suggested. "I mean he's very good at his job and I'm sure he can be of help to us.""Yes he is, but I but I met him through Grover. I don't know if I can trust him.""I know, and it's very normal to be skeptical but I'm afraid w
The Billionaire Son-in-law 194. Confrontation.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" Ivy definitely wasn't expecting her mother to still be around. "Icy, we had an agreement and you just ruined our plans selfishly.""It wasn't out of selfishness mother, Lucas—""I knew it. I knew that imbecile would have something to do with it.""Mother, please calm down. I know you're bummed about the trip, I am too but I had to stay back to care for my husband.""Your so- called husband that couldn't support you going on a vacation with your family? What kind of husband is that?""Mother, we can reschedule for the trip, and this time Lucas would even come with us. But for now, there are a lot of things that need to be attended to.""Like what?""You don't need to know, all you need to know is that we're going through a rough patch at the moment. We'll be sure to let you know once everything has been cleared up. Now I don't mean to be rude but…" she didn't complete the sentence, instead she just pointed at the door."You're… walking… me out?
