The Billionaire Son-in-law 25. The Deal.
It was a full day already and Ivy still hadn't said a word about Peter's request. If he was being honest, Lucas felt a bit unhappy about the fact that she could hide it so well from him. He wanted to ask her about it but he didn't.If she didn't want to share, then there was no need to force her."Honey, I've made your breakfast so make sure you eat it before heading to work." She announced as she wallked hastily towards the exit."Why are you leaving so early today?""I have some left over work I need to attend to."Lucas didn't it whenever she was working too hard. "Can't you ask someone else to take care of it? I mean you're the CEO. You don't always have to do it all by yourself." He for one was very grateful for having Mike around. He could always be rest assured work was going smoothly, even when he wasn't there."I understand your concerns but I have to do this myself. Besides, I don't have anyone I can trust with it.""Then hire someone. A secretary, a personal assistant, anyo

The stars. Very beautiful.Thousands of sparkling diamonds just sitting up there in the sky, making the night sky look uniquely beautiful. Lucas loved looking up at the stars, watching each one twinkle in the clear dark blue sky.Whenever he looked up at them, he always felt…at peace. He couldn't quite understand it but seeing the moon and stars always made him relax. But unfortunately, it wasn't working this time.As he laid on the bench by the pond, his mind, replaying Grover's words over and over like a broken record, Lucas started to feel bleak. He felt dejected. He began to question every word, every feeling, every moment with her."Lucas?"He sat up at the sound of her voice."Are you okay? You've been acting weird since you got back from work. Did something happen?" The tone in her voice was unmistakable. She was worried. Worried about him.Could Grover be mistaken? He satred into her bright brown eyes as she moved to where he sat. He had known Ivy all his life, and she was ne
The Billionaire Son-in-law 27. Trials and Tribulations.
Life, a mystery.So long, yet so short. So tough, yet so fragile. Life was a huge mystery that no one could understand. Although Soren Kierkegaard went on further to explain that:'Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.'It was a puzzle that no one could figure out. It has its ups and downs. Filled with twists and turns, like a roller coaster. A person could feel immense joy in a day and the next, experience an even greater amount of sadness.Sometimes, it would feel like you're down in the dumps but other times, you're celebrating and merrying.Sometimes, an individual expects comfort but gets disappointment. And sometimes expect disappointment and experience joy.No one has a way of controlling it, we can only live, and hope life gives us the good.Lucas Williams was currently experiencing the good, his business was booming, his marriage was blissful, and he had a child on his way. He couldn't be happier, he had the money to get anything he wanted, an
The Billionaire Son-in-law 28. Crossroad
Lucas sat on the bed that felt slightly bigger without his partner. It was already well passed three AM and he still couldn't get any sleep. To think that Ivy was laying in the hospital bed unable to eat to drink anything without help.Blanche blamed him for what happened even though he didn't understand how any of it could be his fault. The doctor, who Lucas later found out his name was Faruk, told him Ivy was recovering well and her baby was still breathing as well. The only thing was left was for Ivy to regain function of her legs, and doctor Faruk said it could happen anytime.It could take months, or years. He remembered how heartbroken Ivy looked when he told her, she tried to put on a brave face but Lucas could see right through it.Mike had gone to see her as well to wish her speedy recovery. Lucas was glad to see her family and friends cheering her on, even Blanche tried to be on her best behavior around her.He was having a hard time focusing at work and he was slowly slippi
The Billionaire Son-in-law 29. Decision.
"Is everything alright sir? You seem troubled." Mike asked.Troubled was an understatement. He was more than troubled, he was anguished, disconcerted, distressed and above all, he was scared.Scared of losing his child, sacred of losing his wife, his family. He was scared."Is it Ivy? I thought the doctor said she was recovering.""She is…she was.""Was?, what happened? Talk to me Lucas."For the first time Lucas looked up at mike, he had never called him by his name before. He looked worried as he stood over Lucas. "You must be really worried about her.""I am, but I am also worried about you. I've never seen you this way before and it's bothering me."Lucas tried to smile but his face wasn't ready to cooperate. "It's fine, I'll take care of it.""You better." This time, he managed to laugh at his warning. "Thanks Mickey." Mike smiled at the nickname but it didn't last long and was replaced by his worried look. "I need to go somewhere real quick, please handle things here for me wh

"Young master, I come bearing good news. I've found doctor Julie. Turns out she was away on a family vacation."Lucas jumped off his seat as he heard the news. "That's wonderful. What do we need to do now?""Well, we have to get an ambulance to move your wife to Julie's hospital.""Okay, I'll do that right away.""No need to stress yourself sire. We can get an ambulance from Julie's hospital, you just need to go and sign a transfer form at the hospital so they don't prevent them from taking her.""Okay, I'll head over there now." He hung up and rushed inside to change his clothes. As he got to the hospital, he marched straight to doctor Faruk's office and not surprisingly, he met Blanche there. "Are you here to do the right thing?"He ignored her and addressed the doctor. "I need to know the bill we've accumulated so I can pay.""I've taken care if it."He glanced at her but said nothing, instead he addressed doctor Faruk again. "If that's the case then I'd like to move my wife to an

"Why did you lie to me?" Lucas questioned with authority."What are you talking about?""Don't you dare try to play dumb. My child is fine, isnt he?" Doctor Faruk couldn't answer, thus, adding proof to his suspicions. "I'll ask you again doctor. Why-did-you-lie?" He asked slowly and doctor Faruk couldn't meet his gaze. "Do you wamt me to involve the cops?""No sir. I'm sorry, it wasn't my fault. That woman said she'll close down my hospital if I didn't." He sounded apologetic and he didn't look into Lucas's eyes as he spoke. "Please sir" he dropped to his knees. "Don't report me to the police, my life will be ruined if you do. Please, I have two kids at home and I don't have any other means of feeding them, please."Lucas already knew she was the one behind it, but hearing the confirmation only made him angrier. He looked at doctor Faruk, who was still on his knees. "Get up, I won't report you. But you better don't do something like this ever again!." He cautioned and Faruk nodded rep

"Are you sure you won't ask him for help sir? He might actually be of assistance.""Over my dead body!.""Sir, I know you must be upset but your businesss is going down, fast. This might be our only solution to go back to the top."He frowned at the brown haired lady staring at him. "All right. But I am definitely not going to beg him.""You won't have to, he's a nice man, I'm sure he won't make you do that."★★★Lucas sat across the man who had requested for his help. Andreas Peres, the man who teamed up with his mother in law to take his wife from him. Judging from their past encounters, Lucas couldn't tell if he was actually being sincere or maybe it was just a plot for revenge.Arriving at a conclusion that it would be best to just reply neutrally, he folded his arms and waited for a better explanation."Well…" he started, choosing his words carefully and if he was trying to keep some things from him. Lucas pursed his lips, listening and processing as the words spewed from Andrea
