The Billionaire Son-in-law 40. Reconciliation.
Lucas sat awake in the pitch black room, he was having a hard time falling asleep. The fact that he might have a sister still bothered him greatly.If this sister was real, where had she been all these years? Was she older than he was?, was she still alive? Would she recognize him if they met?There were so many questions on his mind and he desperately wanted answers to them. He quietly got up, trying not to wake Ivy but just as he was about to get up, he heard her sleepy voice."Are you going somewhere?"He should have known she would wake up, Ivy had always been a light sleeper. The slightest sound or movement could wake her up. "I just need a glass of water. Do you want anything?""No, just hurry back.""Alright." Ivy was afraid of the dark so she always had trouble sleeping whenever it was dark, and Lucas on the other hand, couldn't sleep with the lights on. They concluded that she would let him turn off the light on the condition that he stayed with her all through the night.He
The Billionaire Son-in-law 41. Frenemy.
Lucas sat next to Grover, his mouth slightly opened in shock. He couldn't believe that something like that would transpire between his father and that woman. As if Grover read his mind, he added. "I know how shocking it must be for you to hear but its true."His father had an affair with his mother in-law. How was that even possible? "I don't understand.""Blanche had had her eyes on your father since they took them in. She tried so many ways to convince him to bend to her wishes but your father refused.Blanche never backed down, she tried so many things, plotted so many schemes until she finally got your father to bend to her demands. Their affair however, didn't last long. He confessed to your mother and she forgave gim. He gave her an expensive necklace as a symbol of his love and the two remained happy, until the tragic incident."So his dad didn't fall for her, she seduced him into doing it. It definitely sounded like something she would do. "Thank you for clarifying things."
The Billionaire Son-in-law 42. The Jade.
Lucas stood in his office, looking out the large window. It was a beautiful day, partly cloudy bland partly sunny. Like those days that were perfect for a picnic or to go for a drive. He wasn't enjoying the scenery though, he couldn't even see anything other than the reflection of his frowning face on the glass. His mind was clogged with different thoughts. He glanced at his watch, checking the time before he resumed his pointless staring like he had been doing for the past thirty minutes. He needed to get that necklace back, it seemed so unfair to his mother that Blanche was wearing something that held such meaning."Sir?" Lucas flinched as someone tapped his shoulder. "I knocked." He said as Lucas turned to him, still wearing a frown."Its alright, I just didn't hear you come in.""Is something on your mind?""Its nothing I can't take care of. Is something up?" He gestured at the little envelope Mike had in his hands."Oh no, it's not work related." He handed Lucas the envelope and
The Billionaire Son-in-law 43. Family Dinner.
"On behalf of the whole family, I would like to thank you sire, for your hospitality towards this family. We are really grateful for all you've done for us.""Oh, you don't have to thank me ma'am. Grover is more like a father to me and I want to do everything I can to make him comfortable, so this is nothing. Hope you're all enjoying your stay?""Of course. More than you know sire.""That's good to hear." Grover's wife was really beautiful, even for someone her age. He didn't know how old she was exactly but, he was sure she would be over fifty and she was rocking it. She was slightly chubby, like their daughter and she had a young face."Where is Grover?" Lucas hadn't seen him since he arrived at the mansion, and that was unusual."He's napping. Should I wake him up?""Oh please no, let him rest." Lucas was sure Grover didn't get much sleep since he was trying to be there for him at all times."Okay sire. Thank you once again.""It's fine, really.""If you need anything, please let
The Billionaire Son-in-law 44. Mother Daughter Bond.
Ivy was alone, again. Ever since her accident, she was always indoors. She couldn't go to work, neither could she go for her occasional strolls. She really hated being confined to that stupid chair.Doctor Julie said she was getting better, but she didn't feel any different. Sure she was starting to regain her sense of feeling in her legs, but they were still too heavy for her to move.She felt so helpless.She heard her mother's usual three knocks on the door and she went to open the door. "My Darling, are you okay? How's the fever?""Better mother." The reason for her obvious concern was because Ivy had called her mother earlier that she was sick and she needed her mother's care. "Thank you for coming so early." She said, even though her mother wasn't really early. She had called her by seven thirty, before Lucas left for work. And she was only arriving, nearly four hours later."Anything for you my dear." She dropped her bag on the center table as she settled on the couch. "I broug
The Billionaire Son-in-law 45. The Engagement Party.
Ivy was in the room when she heard Lucas screamed out from the living room. "Lucas?, honey?" She called out but he didn't answer. "Fuck!" He cursed, sounding closer than he did before.She forgot about her condition and leaped to her feet. She tried to move but her legs felt like they were implanted in place. "Lucas!!" She yelled, with more urgency."I'm so sorry love, I didn't mean to startle you, I was–." He paused as he saw Ivy on her feet. "Ivy?""I heard you scream and I got worried." Her breath was shaky as she spoke. "I wanted to check on you, and well, this happened." She pointed to herself. "Are you okay?" She asked, scanning his body for any sign that he was hurt."You're standing." Lucas pointed out. "How…? How are you…? you're standing Ivy." He went to her and held her waist to keep her steady and she leaned towards him for supoort. "Does it hurt anywhere?""I feel heavy." She held her stomach as she tried to steady her breathing.She was breathing hard and her body was s
The Billionaire Son-in-law 46. A Symbol Of My Love.
Lucas and Ivy were discussing the suitable time for them to leave without offending the couple when Avery called for their attention.She thanked everyone who showed up to congratulate them. "It means a lot to me, to us." She turned to where Lucas stood with Ivy and smiled. "Then I'd like to make a special toast to the man who made all this possible. The esteemed CEO of Williams Megacorp. Lucas williams himself." The whole room went silent and all eyes fell on him. Lucas thought he heard Avery wrong but the stares he got from the guests confirmed he heard her perfectly well. Even Ivy turned to look at him. "What is she talking about?"The crowd had started to murmur, pointing at him and it made Lucas very uncomfortable. He turned to Mike, help, he pleaded silently with his eyes. He wasn't expecting what happened next, Mike threw his head back and started laughing hysterically. "No babe, he's not my boss." He said after he finally got a hold of himself. "They just share the same las
The Billionaire Son-in-law 47. Blissful Marriage.
Ivy sat in front of the mirror, eyeing her present. The Jade was more beautiful than she had noticed. The deep red color was mesmerizing, the more she looked at it, the more enchanted she felt.To think that a piece of jewelry that old was still so beautiful. Her mind backslided to Lucas's words. 'I want you to keep it, as a symbol of my love and my undying loyalty to you for the rest of my days.'Her lips parted into a blissful smile, feeling lucky. She remembered that day five years ago when Lucas asked her out.They were the only ones at home that day and Ivy was feeling uncomfortable being alone with him. Ivy could remember she was seriously crushing on him then and she didn't know how to tell him.When he told her he had feelings for her, her heart did a little leap in her chest.
