The Billionaire Son-in-law 216. The Arrest
The cops tracked Marco and they finally found where he was keeping Ivy hostage. The room was wide and it was empty, except for a table that had all sorts of food and snacks on it, most of which had gone bad.Marco approached his half conscious hostage and as he reached into his pocket to retrieve an unidentified object, the officers apprehended him. One of the officers rushed to untie Ivy and she fell to the ground. He checked for a pulse and hurriedly dialed the ambulance number after confirming that she was still alive.The ambulance arrived in speed record time and Ivy was carried into it. All through the way, she was administered first aid to make sure her vitals were stable.Minutes after they arrived at the hospital, Lucas showed up with detective Jones by his side. "Where's my wife?" He demanded, his voice vibrating with urgency."Relax sir, who is your wife, what's her name?" A nurse questioned."Ivy, Ivy Mochi, she's here… I mean she was brought here… to this hospital, today

"Mr Williams, your mother in law is here to see you." Detective Jones announced as he knocked on the bedroom door. "Now, I know you're upset but please, let me handle this okay?""Alright fine, but if she says anything stupid, I might lose it.""Just calm down, that's why I am here. The fact that she's here means she wants to make some kind of proposal, so please… let me hear it.""Alright, alright I heard you.""Good." Both men went to the living room where Blanche was standing and when she laid eyes on Lucas, her face crinkled into a deep scowl."Mrs Mochi, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Lucas aid with a forced smile, as if he was unaware of the purpose of her visit."You know very well what brings me here, so don't you dare play games with me." She barked."Now let's just calm down, I believe we can have a normal conversation like civilised adults." Detective Jones interfered and she shot him a hard glare. "Mrs Mochi, please let us know what it is that you want. I'm sure you didn

He glanced at his watch and frowned. He was late. He picked up the pace, almost running in an attempt to beat time. He had promised his lady that he would be on time and now he was running late.He finally got to the main road and took his place at the bus stop. After waiting for almost two minutes– two extra wasted minutes of his time– a taxi arrived and after a brief negotiation, they were on their way.His phone rang out from his coat pocket and he already knew who would be calling. "I know, I know, this isn't what I planned either. I'm sorry.""You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago!" She complained over the phone."I am really, truly sorry honey. I'll be there in three minutes… five minutes top.""Get here in two minutes!""I'm in a taxi, I'll be there soon." After he hung up, he noticed the cab driver staring at him through the mirror. "Wife's troubles huh?""Yeah." He replied simply."I can relate. My Mrs is always stressing me out as well. But there's nothing we can do

"Your mother came over to our place yesterday." Lucas reported to Ivy as they walked together. She wasn't too roughed up from her time as Marco's hostage so she was okay to go home after a day under medical surveillance."What did she want?""She wanted me to release Peter.""Release? Where is he?""Oh right, peter was… arrested." Ivy stopped in her tracks and turned to face him."Arrested?""There's no easy way to say this but… your mother was responsible for what happened to you, and Peter was aware also." Lucas waited for her shocked expression or for her to voice out her disbelief but instead she resumed walking. "Ivy?""I Know." She said simply after a few seconds."You do?""Yeah. Marco told me.""Oh, okay. Well, Peter came clean and the cops had him detained until the investigation was complete.""Ah, I see. So what did mother say?""Uh you know, she was mean as usual. She didn't know Peter had confessed so she was causing a scene.""Typical. So what did you say?""I uh… told h

"Ivy, you can't keep ignoring me, I'm your father.""What if Marco had done something bad to me when I was held captive? Or worse, what if I had died? Who would you try to talk to now huh?""My dear, the important thing is that you are alive and well.""Lucas told you something was wrong. Why didn't you believe him?""He told me your mother connived with your younger brother to kidnap you. You can't blame me for not believing him, the story sounded quite far- fetched.""It sounded far- fetched or you chose to not believe him because you didn't like him? Why would he lie about something like that?""You know that kid never liked your mother, so I thought he was doing it to make her look bad.""Pardon my language father, but that's bullshit. You and I both know that Lucas loved mother dearly, she was the one who never loved him. Besides, what could he possibly gain from making her look bad? Was he trying to get you two to divorce or what?""There's nothing else I can say than I am sorr

"Grover, where is that useless recruit of yours?""You mean Marco, I believe he's still locked away for kidnapping." Grover mocked and Festus frowned."You know I am referring to that Kingston boy.""Yes I do Augustine. Why are you looking for him?""Don't you think he has been acting shady these few days?""Shady, how ever do you mean?""Don't you see Grover… this boy is up to something.""Is that so? Well Festus, what is he up to?""That is what I am unsure of yet, but I am going to find out.""Okay detective, when you do… be sure to let me know.""You might not take me seriously now but you just wait, when I uncover the mystery of that boy, then you'll see that I'm right.""Sure, whatever you say." He started to leave but stopped abruptly. "So uh, what do you plan on doing about your… partner in police custody?""What do you think we should do?""Well you can't just leave him there. He might be a problem to us. If you can't find a way to get him out of there, then you might as well

Lucas sat alone in bed, it had been two days and he still hadn't been able to come up with any solution. Ivy and detective Jones had also promised to think about what they could do but all their pages were still blank.On the other hand, he was still worrying about what Blanche could do but his priority was stopping Grover.He recalled what Mike had told him when he asked about the death of his parents, he said he wanted Ivy to be present when they discussed it. He wondered what that was all about, how much of Grover's story was a lie? Did he even tell him any truth at all?The more he thought about it, the more curious he grew. He had to know the truth. He got his phone from the bedside drawer and was about to dial Mike's number when he remembered his warning. He said that Festus was getting suspicious of his movements and so, for that reason, Lucas should always wait till he called him first.He tossed the phone on the bed and laid down. What was he going to do?He saw a flash of li

"Hello sis, do you remember me?" Peter said as he let himself into Lucas's and Ivy's apartment uninvited."What are you talking about? Why won't I remember who you are?""Oh you do? Well from my end, it didn't look like that.""What do you mean?""Do you know how long I was locked up? I was in that… that cage for a week! And my own sister didn't think it was right for her to pay me a visit.""Did you stop to think for a second about how that sister of yours was faring before you jumped into that conclusion?" Lucas intervened."I don't belive I was talking to you nitwit.""Don't mind me intruding, I just feel that it's wrong to accuse her without hearing her side of the story.""Yeah Peter, you should have at least asked how I was doing first." Ivy said."Ask how you're faring? Can you even hear yourself?! Do you have any idea how selfish you sound right now sis. I was locked up in prison like I was some kind of prisoner and you want me to ask you how you are?!""Relax Peter, did you c
