"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

"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

"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

Lucas still couldn't believe how the case turned around like that. He had hoped that the testimonies of his staffs would help but he never expected that turn of things."Section 500 of the criminal code Act states that any person who publishes any defamatory matter is guilty of misdemeanor and is liable to imprisonment for a year. Also, anyone who publishes a defamatory matter, knowing it is false is liable for two years imprisonment and up to a two thousand dollar fine.And it is very clear to us that Miss Tracy Houston reported my client to the authorities and sued him to court, knowing fully well that her accusations were false. So I appeal to the court to release my client and sentence the real criminal to two years imprisonment."Tracy looked like she was about to cry, and even after all she did to him, Lucas couldn't help but to feel bad for her.Now he was more than certain that someone pushed her to it, and he already knew that someone.

"Ooh..." Ivy grumbled as she tossed around in bed."What's wrong?""My stomach, it hurts." She shut her eyes tight and she bit her lip. "Lucas!" She called out when he didn't pay much attention to her."Where does it hurt?" He dropped his phone and joined her on the bed."My back and my stomach, right here." She pointed to her lower abdomen as she moaned out again. "Call doctor Julie, now!!" She demanded, her voice growing hard with pain."Right, of course." He wanted to get his phone from the drawer but she pulled his shirt. "I have to get my phone, honey relax.""I can't wait…use mine." She handed him her cellphone and he hurriedly dialed her number."Hello, doctor Julie, it's Ivy. She's having a really bad stomach ache.""Okay, give her the phone, let me speak to her."Ivy was in no shape to hold the phone so he just put it on speaker. "Ivy, how are you feeling?" She asked."My back is really aching and my lower abdomen hurts like hell." "Like a menstrual cramp?""Like a really ba
