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. Marco Platana.Ric Heyman's look was an

"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

"How could you let something like this happen?! I gave you a very simple task, very simple! And you failed woefully!." He spat out angrily as he paced around his living room, his stride, intimidating."We tried our best and things were going smoothly until Tracy's colleagues testified." Ric tried to defend themselves but Marco was accepting it."Why the hell did you leave those pictures on your phone?!" He barked at Tracy who quivered at every word he spoke."I'm sorry….I didn't know–""Didn't know what? Didn't know they would search your phone?" He groaned out in frustration. "How could you be so stupid??!""It's not her fault, she didn't know things would turn out like this." Ric said in her defense. "None of us did, I mean even you didn't know, because if you did, then you would have told her beforehand." Marco looked like he was about to explode, his face had turn red with anger and his breath had grown unsteady. He picked up a golf club from his sport equipment and whacked him w

Lucas sat at work pondering Marco's words. He wanted to believe that it was just an empty threat but deep down in his heart, he feared for the safety of his family.Ivy said her mother had warned her as well, Blanche was never one to panic, so if she said he was dangerous, then he was. He wanted to call Grover but deciding it would be best to see hin in person, he grabbed his blazer from the coat hanger and started to leave when the telephone on his desk rang out. "Sir, Tracy is here to see you."He considered asking her to he thrown out because he didn't want aby trouble but later decided against it. "Send her up."He sat back down and waited for her arrival. He heard a knock on the door, signalling her presence and he let her in. For precautionary measures, he had asked Mike to come with her. "May I have a seat?" She asked as she stood in front of his desk. He nodded and she perched gently on the seat. "Thank you.""Why did you come here?""May I have a word with you alone?""I'

"Push Ivy." Doctor Julie urged and Ivy groaned.Lucas wished there was something he could do to ease her pain, he hated seeing her hurt. "You're doing great honey." He commended, hoping it would make her feel better.Her face was red and her forehead was wrinkled from all the stress she was going through."That's it, you're doing good. Just one more. "Doctor Julie said, urging Ivy not to give up.She shut her eyes tight and pushed as hard as she could and heaved a sigh of relief when she felt her burden lighten."You did it. Congratulations Mr Williams, he looks just like you." Doctor julie said with a smile. "You did it honey." Lucas kissed Ivy on the forehead and she smiled faintly.The nurses took the baby and Ivy to get them cleaned up and Ivy was moved to a ward.After the baby had been cleaned up, he was brought to the ward and handed to Ivy.Lucas couldn't keep his joy to himself. He smiled tenderly at the face of his sleeping son. "What should we name him?" He asked Ivy who wa

"I'm on my way to your parent's house. Hopefully your mother won't be difficult." He informed Ivy on the phone as he drove to the Mochi's residence."Good luck facing her, and please honey, I know my mother can be upsetting…please don't get mad at her. You know it'll only make things worse.""I know, I'll do my best. Take care.""Don't stay out late.""I won't, I'll come right back to see you."He arrived at the Mochi's and as he expected, his mother in-law was aggravating. He tried his best to keep his cool but when she said she didn't care about their child, he couldn't stop his anger from exploding."What kind of mother are you? Are you sure you're Ivy's birth mother?""What kind of foolheaded question is that?" She demanded in anger."A real mother would never say the things you say, and they sure as hell won't do the things you do. All through Ivy's pregnancy, you never bothered about her health. She finally delivers, and you still don't care.""That's enough insults from the like

"Hey my darling." Blanche smiled as she walked into Ivy's ward."Mother?" Her mother was the last person in the world that Ivy was expecting to see. "What are you doing here?""What do you mean? I came to see you. How are you feeling dear?" She asked as she sat by her bed."I'm okay mother, thank you for coming to see me.""Don't be ridiculous, I should be apologising for not coming to see you sooner.""It's okay, seeing you here is more than enough for me.""Aw, you say the nicest things. I heard you named him Desmond.""Yes, do you like it?""It's not a bad name. I got something for him." She brought out a little grocery bag and handed it to Ivy."Aww that's so sweet, you didn't have to." She brought out the items inside. "They're beautiful mother, thank you."It was a matching blue beanie and socks with the prettiest shawl Ivy had ever seen."It's nothing, take it as my apology gift.""What are you apologising for?""I feel like I'm the one who put you in all this mess.

Lucas stared at Ivy who couldn't stop shaking. The fact that Platana had the guts to threaten his wife infuriated him even more. Grover said he hadn't gotten any concrete evidence against him but he was still digging. Blanche also hadn't said anything useful as well but with the current situation of things, he would have to press her harder."What are we going to do Lucas?" The panic is her eyes was as clear as a bell."You don't have to worry my love, I'll protect you and our son. I'll never let any harm come to either of you." He meant it, he was going to do everything he could to protect his family, even if he had to lay down his life in the process. "Can't we get him arrested? I mean, he did threaten me.""I doubt if that'll do us any good, we have to think of something else.""Okay, but do you think I'm safe here?""I'll talk to doctor Julie and see if we can take you home today.""Okay. Please do, and please, can you stay with me today? I know it might be demanding too much bu
