"Hey Ivy,""What the… what the hell are you doing here?" The last person she was expecting to see was Richmond. She hadn't heard from hin since the last time he came to town and asked her to leave with him."Look Ivy, I know you must be mad at me but please just hear me out." He started."Why should I? I don't want to hear anything you have to say." What could he possibly have to say?"Ivy, are you really not going to acknowledge the fact that I'm here?" Ivy didn't know why Denise was with Richmond, and honestly, she didn't care. "I don't know why you're here and honestly, if it's something that has to do with him, then I don't want to hear it.""Ivy, I am your cousin. I can't possibly wish you harm. Just hear us out."Going against every nerve in her body, she decided to hear whay they had to say. "Fine, you have sixty seconds.""Ivy, I am truly sorry for everything. I know I have wronged you in so many ways. Right from when we were dating, up till now. I haven't done any good thing
The last day had been bothersome for Ivy and Lucas, emotionally and physically… but mostly emotionally. First, Ivy's crazy ex shows up into her life once again. "What the… what the hell are you doing here?" The last person she was expecting to see was Richmond. She hadn't heard from him since the last time he came to town and asked her to leave with him.Then it turns out that he was on their side and he had come to help her save the life of her husband. "I want to warn you, about something important." He said, his tone suddenly serious.Why did it seem like everyone was after Lucas's life lately? Before she found out about Lucas being a multi billionaire and owning lots of properties, their lives were fine. Simple and sometimes hard but still… fine. But suddenly, he's the heir to a huge family fortune, and he's the CEO of a company worth millions of dollars. At first glance it sounds like a dream come true but from her perspective, it was stressful and troubling for them.Friends wer
Detective Jones sat in his small- scaled living room. He had just one two seater sofa and a little round table in the center of the room. He was still a bachelor and his pay wasn't exactly extravagant so his properties were modest in size, he rarely had any guests and he didn't have any family that paid him a visit so it was always just him.He had a cup of coffee in his hands but he couldn't drink it anymore because it had gone cold. That would make it the third cup that had gone to waste. He stared distastefully at the liquid before dropping it with the other two mugs that laid side by side on the table.He was too bothered to drink coffee… and that rarely ever happened.He had always taken his job seriously and being the kind of police man that he was, he never cared about the risks or dangers that came with it, he was always diligent with his work and it usually paid off.But this time it was different, all the previous assignments he had tackled, he had never really being person
"You know I am really regretting that I invited you to join our brotherhood." Grover scolded with a stern voice."I am really sorry sir, I really did try my best.""You failed! You are nothing but a loser. Even kelly did better than you, and she's a woman!""Just give me one more chance sir, I promise I'm going to right all my wrongs.""How? You made your task so obvious that I'm sure that idiot won't ever trust you again. And now he's working with that blasted detective, so it is not going to be easy.""Just let me show you that I can do this.""You were supposed to give him the drink and leave. But no, you decided to sit with him like a maniac and kept insisting that he drank it. Didn't you think that he would be suspicious?!""I'm really sorry Mr Grover, I didn't–""Shut up! Just lay low until I tell you what to do.""If you can just give me one more chance, you'll see that–""Are you questioning my order?" He asked, his tone bold and menacing."No sir, I would never. I–""Are you

FLASHBACK.FOURTEEN YEARS AGO."Grover, I'm afraid there has been a delay on my side.""Delay? What kind of delay?""There's something urgent going on at work and I have to be there.""Are you being serious right now? Do you know how big this is? We can not afford to miss this chance.""I know, and that is exactly why I have called you.""What do you mean?""I am going to have to ask that you go over there yourself and do what needs to be done.""Festus, I —""You know what is at stake Grover, if I could do it myself I would but I'm afraid this is quite urgent.""Oh… alright then. I'll be on my way now.""Good, thank you. And I apologize for stressing you, I know this was supposed to be my part and now you have to do it.""It is quite alright Festus, let me be on my way." He hung up the phone and hurried to his room. He reached into his drawer and retrieved a little back bag. He casually made his way to the rented condo the couple would be using for the weekend. It would have been be

"Ivy, I–""Don't! Don't even Lucas." It had been three days since the issue with her mother came out and she had been giving Lucas the silent treatment… and it was driving him crazy."Look, I know how bad this looks, and I know that telling you I did it to protect you definitely won't be enough–""So? What excuse do you have to give then? Tell me!" Ivy demanded angrily."I am sorry, truly I am. It's just that–""How long?" She asked, staring at nothing in particular."What?""How long have you known?""Look, nothing was certain alright? All I had was the words of Grover's mouth and now we can't even trust anything that man–""Don't fuck around with me Lucas, you know what I am asking, you know what I want to hear. How long have you suspected my mother?!""Not too long after I met Grover." His answer was low but it was loud enough to make an impact in Ivy's heart."Oh my God." She put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from crying. "So… so you have been lying to me since… since th
