I tried so hard, so hard to show you that I was there for you… and yet you… Is this the reason you never want to discuss the death of your parents?It's not because it's painful for you, no… it's because my mother is involved. Isn't it?""Ivy, please calm down.""Calm down? Lucas you lied to me, ov
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
"Hello kelly, did you miss me?"She felt her heartbeat slow down so much that she felt it had stopped completely. She feared this day would come, she just didn't know it would be this fast.She slowly rose to her feet, her legs trembling with fright. "Wh..what…what are you doing here?" She did her best to sound bold but her unsteady voice betrayed her."I missed your birthday, so I thought I'd stop by and give you my gift in person." He smiled at her, an action that only sent chills down her spine."Pl…ple…please…" her voice quavered as she tried to speak. "Don't hurt me." She whispered as she slowly backed away from him. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Tears were starting to flow down her face as she realized that there was no escape for her. "Please, I'll do anything." She pleaded, even though she knew they were falling on deaf ears."No, no no no. You don't have to apologize for anything, after you left that day, I was so impressed. I said to myself, there goes one audacious young woman

"I'm waiting." Ivy demanded, her patience was wearing thin and she couldn't hide it much longer. Her parents had summoned her and Lucas over to their place for a supposed urgent meeting and they had been there for close to thirty minutes, and still haven't heard anything."Ivy, can't you see that your mother is in pain here?" Her father asked, looking concerned."I'm sorry if I didn't notice, it's just that I have some really important matters I need to attend to as well.""More important than your own brother? Or have you forgotten that he's still in the custody of Marco Platana?""No father, I haven't forgotten. In fact, Lucas and I are working on a way to get him out of there… wherever he is." That part was a lie. Sure, she didn't forget that Marco had kidnapped her brother but she was too busy worrying about Lucas to think about anything else. Besides, she couldn't do what her mother was asking her to."Tell me, how do you plan on rescuing my son?" Blanche finally spoke. "I want t
