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
The Billionaire Son-in-law 202. Life

From the time the family made plans to embark on a vacation, to Mike trying to take control of the House of Freddie and the almost poisoning by the COO. And Lucas getting arrested on the grounds of murdering Kelly. Then let's not forget the heated arguement the couple had afterwards, Then the moment detective Jones came back into the picture.There was also the moment the obnoxious ex came back into Ivy's life with important news.Then let's not forget the moment when Ivy found out her mother was involved with the death of Lucas's parents.★★★"Ivy, I can explain.""Can you? 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

"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

"Lucas! Lucas!! You'll never guess what doctor Julie told me!""Okay." He replied casually and went back to the show he was watching."You're supposed to guess." She hit him on the chest."But you said I'll never guess what it is.""You were supposed to be more interested, darn it!""Right sorry. What did she say?""I'm not telling you anymore." She pouted and folded her arms."Aw come on, tell me.""No.""Come on, okay I'm sorry.""No. I'm not telling you. You'll have to wait nine months to see for yourself."She watched eagerly as his face went from confusion to excitement while he did the math. "Nine months- wait, you're pregnant?!""Yes!""Oh my goodness, that's wonderful.""I know.""Congratulations to us!""Yeah! I'm gonna be a mom… again.""Come on, let's call the guys so we can celebrate."★★★"Hey sis,""Peter?" Ivy's eyes widened as she saw her brother after all these months."Long time no see huh?""Oh come here." She pulled him in for a hug. "How've you been?""Good, I see

"Ivy, there's something important I would like to talk to you about.""Okay, go on.""I need to ask you a favor.""Anything honey.""Okay. I want you to be my next of kin.""What?""You know, in case anything bad happens to me-""No, zip it!""What? why?""Why the hell are you sounding like that?""Sounding like what?""Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Grover already did his worst and he failed terribly. The court has officially given you full rights over your parents fortune again, so why the hell would you talk like this?""I don't know. I just can't help but feel that Grover hasn't done his worst.""Well let him, we're going to be fine. Lucas , we have come a long way. Just look at all the nemesis you've had over the years . Smelly Andreas, yellow diamond guy, your COO- turned nemesis- turned best friend, my mother… and yet, none of them could defeat you.He's just a butler, he can't do anything.

"So, what are you planning on doing about the super mall? I mean, you can't just leave it vacant forever."Ivy was right, he hadn't really had the time to worry about it due to all the recent events that had been happening in his life. "You're right. What do you think we should do?" He threw the question back at her."I don't know. But for starters, I think you should probably employ some staff there. At least get some people to make you money.""I guess you're right. Do you have anyone in mind?""Um no, I actually don't. But I'm sure if you let your staff at the company know, they could make some recommendations.""That's true, I almost forgot I had a company.""Hehe, that's what happens when you're too rich." The couple laughed at her joke, forgetting their troubles for a brief moment. Moments like this.His life would be unbearable if it wasn't for moments like this.

Mia stretched as she stirred from her nap. She slowly sat up, yawning slightly."Did you enjoy your nap?"She smiled as she noticed detective Jones. "Yes, I did." She replied energetically, nodding her head."Good to know." He barely knew her but detective Jones found that he was already getting attached to her. Everything about her was utterly cute, her tiny voice, the way she smiled, the way she walked and even the way she snored lightly in her sleep.She folded her legs on the couch and hugged them to close her chest. "Now I'm hungry." She pouted as she rested her head on her knees.He laughed at her comment as he moved to sit next to her. "Well what do you want to eat?""I don't know, can we order pizza?""Sure."When the pizza finally arrived, she accepted it eagerly and rushed to the living room to show it to him. "Pizza's here.""Great." She set the pizza on the center table as he went to get drinks from the kitchen."How's master Lucas doing?" She asked with her mouth half ful

"What?!!" Grover barked at a young man who immediately dropped to his knees."I…I am truly sorry sir. They actually believed me at first, but then… uh…" The man stammered, unable to speak calmly."Will you quit stuttering and tell me what happened?!" The young man quavered at the sound of his voice."I'll tell you what happened." Festus intervened. "Milo! That son of a bitch double crossed us." He spat out, his face scrunched up in displeasure."Milo? Is he unaware that his wife works with us?""Of course not!. Haven't we all been in on this from the very begining?""How dare that nobody try to double cross me?""We have to teach him a lesson.""Of course we will. But first, you." He turned to the young man who was still on his knees."B… but s.. sir… I… I'm innocent.""Are you now? I gave you a simple task. Get the people to see the bad side of him, I even told you what to say… and yet you failed woefully. Can you see now that you deserve to be punished?""Please sir, I didn't do any

He felt the bullet pierce through his stomach and he clutched the wound, trying to minimize the bleeding. It wasn't the first time he would be getting shot but somehow, the pain was different this time around, prob

"You keep saying he won't show up, what are we going to do if he does? That boy can be unpredictable, you know.""Relax Festus, I already said he won't show up. And even if he does,I already have a plan for that as well. You know my dear friend, rumors are so easily spread among people,and our young friend here has some dirty rumors about him… all we have to do is dig it up.""Right, I see what you mean. We get someone to bring up all the rumors that had been spread before, and thanks to Marco Platana, we have quite a lot.""Exactly!""You know, now I actually hope he shows up. So I can watch him get really humiliated.""Indeed. And we'll be there to watch it all happen."★★★The announcer called his name and Lucas froze up. It was actually happening, he was the winner. He was getting an award.As he made his way to the stage, he noticed that some people were staring at him. Some with shock, some with envy, others just stared, wide eyed and expressionless.He took the mike and decide
248. Worst Nightmare
"Mother, hey, it is so nice of you to show up." Ivy said with a fake smile as she approached the woman who birthed her. "You know, it warms my heart that you two are here to support Lucas as well."Blanche's response was a hard glare and she scoffed at her daughter's words. "Oh Please, you know why your brother and I are here.""Of course, you are here to support your loving daughter and her hardworking husband.""Ivy–""It's okay mother, you don't have to say anything. I know exactly how you feel." Ivy was loving the look her mother had on her face, taunting her was making her feel so much better. Ivy was very unsure about the outcome of the event as well but she had been trying to put on a brave facade to reassure her husband. While it was true that Lucas was a good person and he always did the right thing, it was also very true that the world was a cruel place. And in some unfortunate situations, good people tend to suffer unjustly… especially if they were going up against powerf

Detective Jones saw his opponent draw a weapon but he was too focused on the little lady in front of him to do anything about it. He felt the bullet pierce through his stomach and he clutched the wound, trying to minimize the bleeding. It wasn't the first time he would be getting shot but somehow, the pain was different this time around, probably the brand of the pistol was a high one. Slowly, his legs gave in and it was suddenly impossible for him to stand. He went down on his knees as he felt his blood wetting his shirt and down to his pants. He was losing blood… and he was losing too much of it. From the corner or his eyes, he noticed his attackers running off, probably to prevent people from seeing them and the young lady ran towards him.He tried to lay down gently, to prevent himself from hitting his head on the hard ground or else that could cause another crucial injury. Before he lost the strength to stay awake, he noticed her making a call. Hopefully, if the ambulance arr
