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

"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

"Thank you Peter, for your help."He acknowledged her appreciation with a slight nod and he added. "I didn't do it for Lucas, I just didn't like the confidence that Richmond had, and I never liked him from the start."It was true, when they were younger, Peter would complain all the time that Richmond was too full of himself and that Ivy was making a mistake by dating him, but no one ever took his side, except Lucas."Why don't you like Lucas? You guys used to be so close wnen we were younger. What happened?""He hurt mother. She can be obnoxious some times but she's still our mother, and he hurt her feelings.""How?""She raised him as one of her own after the death of his parents and how did he repay her?, he went off and had a secret wedding with her daughter. She was really hurt when she found out. I don't know if I can forgive him for that.""The wedding was my idea. I tried to get mother to approve us, I begged her so many times but she refused. So I told him that was what I wan

"What is taking so long? You've been on this for weeks now and still no result.""It's not as easy as it sounds, you have to be patient sir.""I don't have time to be patient! You're a woman for God's sake. How hard can it be to seduce a man?" His voice vibrated with anger as he spoke. "You're wasting my time.""I'm trying my best, but he's refusing to fall.""I knew I should have never trusted you with this. You're a failure!." "Please, give me some time, I promise I–""That's enough! You've wasted enough of my time. I'll handle things my way now. All you have to do is get him alone, and leave the rest to me. Is that clear?""Yes sir.""Good. Now leave my sight. I'll show Lucas Williams that no one ever stands up to me and wins."★★★"Honey? Can you see what I'm seeing?" Ivy asked as she sat up straight. "It looks like someone at your workplace has been caught in a scandal."She stared at him but he didn't respond, instead his gaze was fixated on his phone. "Lucas?"She scrolled fur
The Billionaire Son-in-law 57. Fact Finding.
"Lucas, why are you back home? Did something happen at work?" Ivy questioned as he let himself in."I got arrested." He muttered, his voice coming out almost like a whisper. He was still dazed by the events that happened."Arrested? What for?""Tracy accused me of attempted rape." He still couldn't believe it as the words came out of his mouth. Tracy, all those while, he foolishly thought she wanted to take Mike's place. He never knew this was her plan."That's not possible." "Well, it happened. She said I was the one who asked her to wait and that I tried to assault her.""Wait till I get my hands on that wench, I'm so going to kill her." Ivy looked angry but then her expression changed as she saw the look on her husband's face. "Hey, you didn't do anything wrong, there's no reason to have that sad look on your face.""I just can't believe it. How could she do something like this to me? What could she possibly gain from it?""Maybe money?"He doubted it. Tracy was from a rich family
The Billionaire Son-in-law 58. The Case.
"Are you the one behind all this?""No. I was actually quite surprised when I saw the news.""Then who could it be?""I have no idea but I must say, I'm impressed. Everything must have been well planned, and the timing is perfect. Do you think he can come out of this?""I highly doubt it. There's solid evidence against him and he doesn't have any witness to prove his innocence.""That's good news for me. I don't even want him to escape this, it'll serve him right for going up against someone above his level.""Yes, finally someone would put him in his place once and for all."★★★"You came willingly.""I don't have any reason to hide or run, I'm innocent." This was the third time in two days that he would be summoned for more questioning, and he was being asked the same questions all over again.Why did he do it? Why was he alone with her after everyone else had gone? The same questions to which he would give the same answers."Miss Tracy said that wasn't your first time of doing some
The Billionaire Son-in-law 59. The Evidence.
"What are we going to do Grover? I'm scared.""Relax sire, I trust Mr Manning, he'll get you out of this.""Yes sir, you don't have to worry. For the next hearing, we'll need some witnesses to testify. Can you make that arrangement?""I'll try." He hoped Mike hadn't changed his mind on testifying, and he also hoped it would be enough."Just put your mind at ease, and try not to look so tense in court, it makes you an easy target. Even if you were guilty of the offense pinned against you, you should never look too guilty. Understood?""Okay."★★★The days flew by so quickly and before Lucas had the time to prepare himself for the next hearing, it was already the twenty sixth. Luckily, he was able to get Mike and some others to testify at the court.Tracy's lawyer started and was doing his best to crucify him and Lucas could only be patient and wait for his turn. Taking Mr Manning's advice, he tried to steady his breathing and tried not to let his worries show on his face that much."Th
