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
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
"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
Lucas Williams, a fraud and a thief.A twenty four year old staff at the House of Freddie, a popular company under the name of Freddie Williams, CEO of Williams Megacorp is a fraud. He, along with his partner, Michael Kingston connived to steal millions of dollars from their company's assets. As Lucas read the news, he couldn't believe his eyes. Marco went on to say he also intended on duping Ivy by convincing her to sign a deal with the company. He stated that he had proof and when Lucas saw the pictures, he was sure of one thing.He was being followed.There were pictures of him in the Ferrari, at the jewelry store and even at the hospital. Marco put it there how he had changed hospitals and he mentioned that Mike was the one aiding him all along.That bastard."What do we do now sire?""Honestly Grover, I have no idea. I knew that son of a bitch would be up to something, I just never imagined he would go this far." He had to learn not to underestimate his enemies again, he had bee
"Grover, I don't know what to do. Things don't seem to be getting any better.""Calm dowm young master, I'm trying to work on a solution as well and I'm sure somethimg will come up very soon.""What about Mike?, things are bad for him as well and his only mistake is being a loyal secretary to me.""I understand how you feel, but please sire, you must be patient. In a day or two, I'll get back to you.""Any luck with finding my stalker?""Nothing yet, but I have someone keeping an eye on you so I'm sure he'll report to me if something comes up. For now, all you have to do is try to stay calm and assure Mike that everything will be sorted out soon.""Okay, thanks again Grover, for everything.""You don't have to thank me sire, I'm simply doing my job.""You're a good man Grover.""And so are you, young master. My regards to your wife.""Okay, thanks."★★★Lucas sat alone in his office, trying to decide on what to do. The people's comments on Marco's post were getting much more, and nobo
