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

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. She replied to his request with a kiss and Lucas blushed completely.She found out later that she was his first girlfriend and he said he was shy to ask her out.From the very first day of their relatio

Lucas stared at the headstones of his parents. Being here always made him feel sad, there were many times that he tried to convince himself that it was their fate, but he didn't believe that.Grover placed a hand in his shoulder and Lucas smiled slightly. He was really grateful for him, he was the only one left as a father figure for him."Your kmow sire, when your mother was alive, she had a dream she really wanted to fulfill.""What's that?""She wanted to build a hospital for the less privileged. You mother hated seeing orphans and helpless people die because of inadequate care. She tried to convince your father to help her with it but, sadly neither of them lived long enough to do it.""Then I will. After the mall is done, I'll build a hospital for the less privileged and dedicate it to my mother.""Your mother would be so proud to see the man you've become."His eyes stung with tears but he was determined not to cry. There was no use shedding tears now, all he could do was to l

Lucas hadn't heard from Richmond since he last saw him at the office and Ivy said he hadn't called her either. She said maybe he had finally given up but he knew he couldn't go away that easily.His phone rang out again and he checked the name, Andreas, again. What was this man looking for? And what was he trying to do?He called him late at night and said he had found his sister. The sister Lucas never had. Obviously Andreas was trying to mess with him.His phone vibrated and this time it was a text from Ivy. Meet me at mother's place now, please.He grabbed his phone and car keys and left the office. "Tracy?""Sir?" She jumped up from her desk, her usual broad smile on her face."I need to head out, if anyone asks of me, tell them I had a meeting to attend to.""Sure things sir. Should I tell Mike as well?""Yes please.""Alright.""I'll be back later.""Okay sir."Since the whole scene about him embezzling funds and being a fraud, Lucas had permanted his Ferrari at the mansion, on
The Billionaire Son-in-law 50. The Break Up
"Why are you back so soon?" She sat up as she saw him walk in.He smiled at Ivy's question and went to seat by her side on the couch. "Did you get here by yourself?"She nodded, feeling proud of herself. She was getting better by the day, she didn't need help to get off the chair anymore but he always volunteered to help her whenever he was around."Did you even go back to work?""I changed my mind. I missed you terribly, so I ran all the way back home." She laughed at his explanation and nudged him playfully. "Come on, what happened?""I want us to do something, something unlike anything we've ever done before.""What?""Let's break up."She sat up, a stern frown on her face. "What the hell are you talking about? That'd not funny you know."Lucas chuckled at her reaction. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." He pulled her close and she stared up at his face. "I want to prove to you that your mother lied about Peter.""How?""By telling her we broke up." This time she didn't co
