The Billionaire Son-in-law 208. Problem
"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
The Billionaire Son-in-law 209. The Abduction.
"Do you think I was bluffing when I told you that Ivy was the ransom for Peter's release?""No, of course not. It's just that it is easier said than done.""Really now? Did you also forget about the bonus you get once I get what I want?""How can I possibly forget that? We're working on it, please try to be more patient. You know how stubborn Ivy can be, I am trying my best to convince her to do what you want.""I don't have any more time!! I am done being patient with you. You have twenty four hours. If I don't get Ivy, then you can say goodbye to your son… forbwer."After Marco hung up, Blanche collapsed in their sofa. "I am sick and tired of Ivy." She complained. "I don't know why my own daughter would be so cruel to me." She wasn't talking to anyone in particular because she was alone in the room.Getting up from the chair, she marched angrily to the bar and poured herself a glass of wine. "I have got to do something about this." She gulped down the liquid in one long sip and and
The Billionaire Son-in-law 210. The Abductor
Ivy opened her eyes slowly, she felt weak and her arms were starting to hurt. She was tied to a wooden chair and she was in a slightly dark room. She couldn't see anytning, except for a table by her right and a door to the far left of the room. She heard footsteps and she closed her eyes."Are you awake Ivy?"She felt her stomach turn as she heard the voice of the man she had grown to hate with passion. She opened her eyes to find Marco staring at her, his face closer than Ivy appreciated."Son of a bitch, I should have known it was you.""Yes, it was me." He replied happily. He had his stupid stuck up smile on his ugly face and a lit cigarette in his mouth. "When I woke up this morning, I just remembered you and I was like… how can a woman treat me this way? I'm rich, I'm handsome so what could you say the problem was? You know, when I first met Blanche, your mother… I thought she was just one of those pushovers you know, those women who always loved to be the star of every show. A
The Billionaire Son-in-law 211. The Accusation
"What kind of a mother are you?" Lucas accused Ivy's mother as he barged into their living room. "Do you even have human sympathy in you?!""What have I done wrong this time?""Just who the hell do you think you are to speak to my wife in such a way?" Milo spoke up in his wife's defence. If one heard him now, they'd think that was how much he loved his wife, but Lucas knew that just like the rest of them, he was just looking for an opportunity to insult him."No, let him. Go on.""Do you know that your daughter has been missing for the past two days?""She's not a child anymore, she'll resurface when she is good and ready." She replied nonchalantly."What?!" Lucas knew his mother in -law was thick- skinned, he just didn't expect her to show no sympathy even for her own daughter."What did you say?" Milo asked slowly and the look on his face told Lucas that he wasn't aware of Ivy's disappearance."Don't listen to him, Ivy isn't missing." Blanche lied and she started to walk away."You
The Billionaire Son-in-law 212. The Date
"No matter the reason for your choice, you would have to lie to me…and that would be wrong.""Okay."As they talked, Ivy noticed the look of sadness in her husband's eyes and maybe guilt? "Is there something you want to tell me?" She asked him and he couldn't meet her gaze."Um…no." He replied without looking at her.She took his much larger hands in hers and he finally turned to face her. "Are you sure?""Actually, if I'm being completely honest with you…there is.""Okay?, I'm all ears.""You see, the thing is–" His confession was interrupted by the spine-chilling sound of a gunshot.The composure of everyone in the restaurant was disrupted and the crowd scattered in panic. Everyone ran about randomly, trying to get to safety and Lucas did the same.No one knew where the shot came from and they didn't want to find out, they all just considered themselves lucky to be alive. Lucas concluded he was the luckiest, since the bullet only missed his head by no less than an inch.He grabbed h

"Thank you ma'am, we'll carry out the necessary investigation and we'll be sure to let you know whenever there's an update." Detective Jones said and the old Lady seated across him nodded slightly."Okay, thank you again detective." She said as he escorted her to the entrance. After she left, he went back to Lucas who looked very mournful. "So, what did you say the problem was?" He asked, looking concerned."It's Ivy, she has been missing for the past two days and I have no idea where I'm supposed to look for her. I've been calling her number since bur she isn't answering. Look, I understand that you're going through a lot at the moment and we still have the whole issue with Grover and all but, I'm really worried about her. Please, I need your help.""It's quite alright Mr Williams, you don't have to beg me. I'll help you. When did she leave home?" He picked up a little note pad and retrieved a pen from his shirt pocket."Two days ago, I think it was around after two in the afternoo
The Billionaire Son-in-law 214. Double Crossing
"Mother, I'm worried about Ivy." Peter said as he joined his mother on the sofa."Whatever for?""We haven't heard from her in almost a week. Don't you think something might be off?""They could be out of town Peter, don't worry about it too much.""If they were leaving town, don't you think Marco would have said something to us? He hasn't said anything and we haven't gone to see her since the day he took her. I'm getting worried.""Why?""You know how stubborn sis can be, she could be resisting… and you and I know that Marco is not a gentleman. What if… what if he hurt her?""He would never do that, he loves your sister.""Mother, you and I know that Marco doesnt love sis. He only wants to succeed in taking her away from Lucas. If she struggles with him and he–""That's enough Peter! Your sister is fine and I do not want to hear anymore about this issue. Have you forgotten the money we took? The money I gave you? Do you think that was just a gift?There's nothing we can do other tha
The Billionaire Son-in-law 215. Confession.
"What?" "Ivy, I know where she is." Peter repeated more firmly. "I can tell you where to find her.""Are you sure about this Peter? You know that this issue at hand is a very delicate one and this is definitely no time for your drama." Lucas inquired with a straight face."Yes, I'm sure." He saw that one officer was present along with one other man, he wasn't expecting this much people but… summoning his courage, he went on anyway. "Marco has her."Lucas shot up as he heard that name. "Marco?""Yes.""How did it happen?" The man asked, staring at Peter like he was trying to find out if he was lying or not. "Well, the thing is…" he paused for a second, trying to decide if he was making the right decision. If he exposed Marco, he would be implicating himself and his mother.But then again, he was worried about his sister. "If I tell you where to find her, you have to promise me one thing.""I'm afraid you're not in the place to be making any offers. But I will tell you this, if I lis
