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

"Hey buddy listen, I gotta disappear for a week, could you handle things at work while I'm gone?""Is everything okay?""Sure. I just need to do something.""Does Ivy know?""Yes, she does.""Okay, I'll take care of things. You don't have to worry.""If anyone asks of ne, tell them I just stopped coming to work.""Sure, will do.""Thanks.""No problem boss."★★★Lucas sat in the deluxe hotel room Andreas had prepared for him. He wondered what could be happening at home, it had been almost a full day and he hadn't gotten any texts or calls from Ivy.He wanted to call her but deciding it would be too risky, he sent a text.Is everything all right?He waited patiently for a reply and nearly ten minutes later, he finally got one.Andreas is here with mother.Blanche couldn't even wait for a day before trying to match make them. That woman was really something else.Thirty minutes later, she called him, giving him a full update of how her day had gone.Her mother promised to get rid of her
The Billionaire Son-in-law 52. The Return of Richmond.
Ivy called Lucas, she said she couldn't keep up with the act any longer. Her mother had introduced her to several doctors and she had to come up with different ideas to turn them away."I'm running out of ideas Lucas." She complained over the phone."I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you. I think it's high time I came back home.""Yes please.""Okay, I'll be home by tomorrow.""Okay honey, can't wait to see you.""Same here my love."They had gotten enough proof already so she was right, spending any more time outside would be highly redundant. He gathered his things in his little bag and left it by the bed. "Room service." The brunette called from the other aide if the door.Not again. This lady was really adamant. He wondered how much Andreas had paid her to make her try this hard. Sometimes, Lucas felt bad for addressing her as brunette instead of getting her name, but other times, he just didn't care.The last stunt she pulled was really annoying. He had gone out for a s
The Billionaire Son-in-law 53. Goodnews.
"Congratulations Mrs Williams, you're recuperating faster than I expected." Doctor Julie commented with a smile. "Other patients would still struggle with getting on their feet but you've started taking steps, I'm really proud of you.""Thank you doctor Julie, I'm really excited." Ivy smiled and squeezed Lucas's hands gleefully."What I'll ask of you for now is to take things easy, don't push yourself too hard.""What about her drugs?""I'll have to prescribe some new drugs for her because her recovery level has surpassed the set she was using.""Oh, are you going to be okay with that?" She stared at Lucas, that distinct looks of worry in her bright brown eyes."Of course, I don't mind. You're my number one priority and I don't mimd any amount I have to spend to get you back on your feet." Lucas knew she felt bad for him, because since she had that accident, the money they had spent was more than he could handle normally."Okay, I'll give you the new list and you can get it from our p

"Good morning sir, how was your night?""It was very fine, thanks for asking.""I brought you a cup of coffee air.""Thank you." Tracy's behaviour was really starting to bother him. She was always very nice, too nice for Lucas's comfort."If you need anything else, I'm only a call away.""Right, okay." She flashed him one of her signature broad smiles before leaving his office.He didn't even have time to feel uncomfortable before his father in-law called him. "Father, I must say I'm impressed, I have no idea you had my number."He grumbled something like never mind that, or so before going on to mention the reason for his call. It had been two days, he wanted Ivy."I'm sorry Father but I'm not quite sure I'll be able to do that. You see, I made a vow with my wife, and that's Ivy, that I was going to be by her side will our dying days and that won't be possible if I let some guy take her to England. So as much as I hate going against your orders, I'm going to have to say no to your re
