"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
"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
"What?!" "My apologies sir, but when I got there, he had already been bailed.""Bailed?? By who?!""Oh… I uh… I didn't know I was supposed to ask.""What? How can you be so stupid?!! Didn't you think that I would be curious to know who was responsible for it?""I'm sorry sir.""Sorry for yourself! You're just too useless!! Worthless!! Get out of my sight!!""Of course, I'm sorry sir."★★★"So uh… what do we do with him?" Ivy asked as she stared at Marco who say cross legged on their sofa."I can't even believe he's here. I never thought that I would ever, ever, willingly invite him into my house.""You know that they are going to kill him if we just leave him on his own.""But… we already helped him get out, why do we have to be responsible for him?""Because we are good people. And good people do the right thing. Besides, we could get him on our side.""Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. Helpless or not, he's still Platana and I do not trust him from here to there.""How about we mak
"So you're telling me that Marco Platana is at your house as we speak?""Yeah, and we're not sure what to do with him. Ivy thinks we can get him to join us but I doubt the bastard will comply.""True." Lucas could never tell what the detective was thinking or if he was thinking at all. His expression was always hard and broody. His plan was to inform detective Jones about their 'predicament' and hope that he would know what to do about him.After waiting for what felt like an eternity, he finally looked up at Lucas. "Do you want him to help you in court?""I mean, the extra help wouldn't hurt.""Okay. Leave it to me then.""What are you going to do?" The look on his face was cold, leaving Lucas to wonder what he had in mind."Don't worry, and you don't have to look so worried, I'm not going to hurt him."★★★"Michael, are you being disloyal?"Mike's eyes widened as he heard the words come out of Grover's mouth. "N.. No Sir. I would never.""Are you sure?"Mike was about to reply when
I would like to sincerely apologise for not being consistent in my updating these days, I've been rather...occupied. But I promise that from here on, it won't be that way anymore.From now on, expect two or three chapters daily, and there won't be any boring scene because from here on...things are going to get interesting.We're going to be seeing more of detective Jones and a character that didn't use to be important. Then what do you guys think, can Lucas and the obnoxious Marco Platana ever make a good team?Then we're going to dive into the Mochi family, bring out all the dirty little secrets, everything you didn't know about before. So sit tight, and enjoy...cause this is about to get interesting.
Ivy sat in the living room, cradling Desmond in one arm, and a cup of coffee in another. Having Marco around had been too unbearable and so Lucas had taken him to detective Jones.She took a sip of the heated liquid in her little mug and inhaled as she felt the warmness of her drink slide pleasurably down her throat. Whenever Ivy drank coffee, she always felt calm, like she had just been relieved of a huge stress and that was part of the reason she loved it and could never give it up.She noticed that Desmond had already dozed off so she laid him gently on the couch and placed a light kiss on his forehead."Now, for me to get myself a snack." She always tried to keep herself from eating anything in front of Desmond because he would start crying and throwing a fit over it… even though he couldn't eat it yet.She had barely made it to the kitchen when she heard a loud thud against the door. "Who's there?" There was no reply, instead she heard the sound again. It was too loud to be a k
"Why have you chosen to abandon me?""Abandon you? Now where are you getting such ideas?""You have been avoiding my calls. This is not what I discussed with you Festus.""And just what did we discuss? Remind me Blanche, what did we discuss because I don't seem to remember. From what I can recall, you came begging for my help because you didn't want to go to prison, and I gave you just that. So what more are you expecting from me?""That is not fair. Besides, you didn't even do anything, my daughter convinced her imbecile husband not to press charges.""Well if you feel that I haven't done anything for you, you're more than welcome to leave. At least, I didn't actually take your soul when you decided to join me.""Festus, that's not what I'm saying. I don't know what is going on, and you're not telling me anything. You have to keep me updated so at least I know where I stand.""You stand where I tell you to stand. Is that clear?! Now don't bother me again, if I need your services, the
"It's not a hundred percent certain but… I have a plan.""We're listening.""Okay. It's not entirely certain but, there's a fair chance someone in your family is responsible for the kidnapping of your son." He didn't look at her but it was obvious that he was referring to Ivy."So what do we do?" Ivy asked, looking at Lucas."Lucas, you and Ivy are going to announce to the family that you have a meeting. But, Ivy, you won't attend.""Why not?""Lucas is going to tell your family that you're in a coma. That when those goons took your child, they attacked Ivy and she lost too much blood.""Okay but, aren't they going to ask to see me?""I can take care of that." Lucas added. "I can easily just talk to doctor Julie and get her to help us." Doctor Julie had become like their family. Her hospital was already their family hospital, and she was always supportive."Okay, that's good. So once we do that, we might be able to tell if either of them are responsible.""Wait, why do you think one o
