The Billionaire Son-in-law 222. New Enemy.
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

Feeling anxious is normal and natural when there is something important on the line, it's okay to feel it. It is part of the system that evolved to keep you safe and well. All the emotions are there to educate you, It is an alarm system of sorts, one you should heed. For when we are anxious it impacts both the functioning of the brain and the body.

And instead of doing nothing and giving that feeling the chance to overwhelm you, you have to find the cause, address it, and this difficult symptom should fade. Lucas wished it could be that easy.He felt the need to move almost without end; if his limbs were moving the anxiety was gone, or at least he could ignore it for a while.

The Billionaire Son-in-law 226. Forgiveness.
"Mike, honey, talk to me. What is going on with you? This isn't the man I got married to. Lately, you've been a shell of your former self, is something going on at work? You know you can talk to me right?""Of course, it's just… I don't know Avery, my life isn't what it used to be. I mean, you'd be surprised to hear how much I've changed.""Maybe, but whatever it is, we can work it out together. Look at me, you are my husband, my better half, my forever partner, and that means that whatever you may be going through… we will go through it together. We signed a contract that's for better and for worse, remember?... So talk to me.""Remember when you asked me about ivy and I said she was out of town?""Yeah?""That was a lie. Ivy was never out of town, I just… I didn't want you to see her.""Why? Did something happen between you and Lucas? I noticed that your friendship has been off since the hospital.""Right, back then you know I told you something,""Yeah, something about choosing bet

"Father, are you really not going to help me?""What you are asking of me is quite difficult dear. You are asking me to go against the entire family.""No, I am asking you to do the right thing. You owe him this much and you know that.""Ivy–""Father. You want me to forgive you for all you've done, right? And you want us to go back to the way we were?""Of course, but–""Then do this for me. You and mother took away everything he had, his parents, his fortune, his childhood… help him get it back.""Let's get something right. Neither your mother nor I are responsible for the death of Lucas's parents,""But you benefited from it, didn't you? And I'm sure you know who was responsible but you let him go… and for what, money? The house?""Don't sound like that Ivy.""Like how? I am asking for your help as your daughter, please father. Just testify in court saying you are aware that Lucas is the only heir to the fortune. Father please don't let the bad guys win.""But your mother–""... ca

"What made you change your mind?""I thought about what you said, and I decided that you were right. While we didn't kill Lucas's parents, we can't say we're completely innocent either. And I want to use this as a medium to make things right with you.""So, you won't ask for money?""I would never do something like that. But I will benefiting from this.""And what's that?""My daughter's forgiveness." He smiled softly and Ivy held his hand."Thank you.""You don't have to thank me, just let me know when you'll need me.""Okay, but please, could you not tell mother about this?... Or Peter. You know they would never agree with it.""I know, and you don't have to worry, I won't say a word to either of them.""Thanks. If it's okay with you, I have to be on my way. Lucas and I have somewhere we need to be.""Okay then. Remember, I'm only a call away if you need me.""Thank you father, really. I appreciate you stepping up for me.""You're welcome."★★★"So, do you think these will be enough
The Billionaire Son-in-law 229. Good Person.
"I don't know if you care or anything but Grover has ordered one of his men to kill Marco later tonight."Lucas wasn't sure how he was supposed to react to the news he just heard. On one hand, a part of him hated Marco for all he had done to he and Ivy and he told himself he didn't care about what would happen to him.While on the other hand, the other part doesn't want him to die. He hated him, that he could agree on, but his mind was conflicted. Saving Marco would be the right thing to do, but then he wasn't so sure if he wanted to do the right thing this time. If the tables were turned, he was certain Marco would leave him to die, and that was more than enough reason for Lucas to leave him to his unfortunate fate. But he was a good person and he heard that one should never regret being a good person… even if it was to the wrong person.Ivy had also told him that no matter what happens in life, he should always try to be a good person. He decided to ask her, and he would follow wha
