"How are things going with the suppliers contest?" He hadn't really had the time to supervise the project because of all that was happening. Sometimes, he wished he could just take a break from work totally, and focus all his time on protecting his family."It's moving quite faster than I had expected. So far we've been able to cut the list down to twenty suppliers and we're still working on it.""Okay, let me know how things progress.""I'll giwe you an update again before the end of the day.""Alright thanks."His work had been reduced by half thanks to Mike. Without him doing most of the work, Lucas wasn't sure if he would be able to handle it all by himself. He was definitely going to give him a compensation once all this was over.Detective Jones had assured him that his investigation was going rather well and that he would have positive results by the end of the week, and that was the good news Lucas liked to hear.Tracy hadn't called him since and he didn't want to call her so
The Billionaire Son-in-law 76. The Supplier.
"Calm down Tracy, I know how you feel. Believe me, but crying isn't going to solve anything." Ivy tried to calm Tracy down because she had been crying like crazy.She said that the officer in charge said he would be sentenced to jail unless we find evidence to prove her claims."Where am I supposed to get evidence? It's not like I can get Marco to confess that he was behind it.""We'll figure something out, I promise you." Lucas was surprised Ivy was okay with letting Tracy into their house, he thought she would still be angry about the court issue but she related with her like it never even happened."Tracy, where are they keeping Ric?" It would be better if he was at the station where detective Jones worked, then it would be easier to get info from him."The station at forte street." She answered mid sobs."Okay, I'll go over there and talk to him. Ivy, please stay with her.""Okay, don't stay out late.""I won't."★★★He called detective Jones on his way and they both went to see R

Once again, they were all gathered in the home of the Mochis. The only difference was that it was Milo who had called for a meeting this time.Ivy didn't want to attend, he was the one who convinced her that they should. He wanted to hear what his father in law had to say, even though he already knew he wasn't going to like it."I don't intend to take much of your time." He started with his usual boring expression on his face. "My wife and I were discussing and she made me realize something. This man here," he pointed to Andreas who had a broad grin on his face. "Mr Andreas Peres, truly loves my daughter." Lucas almost scoffed as Milo spoke, definitely their meeting would be centred around him. No wonder he was seated so comfortably, he was the star of the show."It's not that I'm completely unaware of his feelings towards Ivy, but she made me understand somethings that I didn't know. She made me understand all the trouble he's going through to get us out of this mess we're in.He has
The Billionaire Son-in-law 78. The Baby Mama.
All through the drive home, Ivy didn't say a word and Lucas knew she was still disturbed by the meeting they had. He had to admit, even he was bothered, he had never seen Milo that angry before. Sure they hadn't exactly been buddies but he always just acted like Lucas never existed. All the tension was because of Platana, if Ivy's parents were certaim that Platana was under control, Lucas was sure they wouldn't go to all these lengths. He really hoped detective Jones's investigation would yield positive results…and soon."Hey Ivy, what would you want for lunch?" He asked, trying to cheer her up."I don't know. Whwt do you want?""Hmm…how about we go for ice cream?""For lunch?" She smiled as she stared up at him."Yeah. I'm suddenly craving for vanilla ice cream, should we get some?"Her face lit up and soon the usual sweet smile that Lucas fell in love with had brightened up her face. "Should we?" She asked, grinning from ear to ear like a little girl."Why not?" He was glad to se

His jaw almost dropped at the revelation she made. Pregnant. Platana and Blanche's house girl. How? When? And why?"I don't know what I'm supposed to say. How did you two meet? Did he force himself you?" Platana was a monster so it was very possible that he took advantage of the poor girl.She looked down at her hands and shook her head slowly. "He didn't?""No. We…we were seeing each other." She said slowly.Seeing each other?was she for real?"You two were dating?" He asked and she nodded slowly.He doubted if that was possible. Why would Platana date a young girl like her? Obviously she was being used and she didn't know. "So, what's the problem now?" He asked, still waiting for the part where he was involved."He said he doesn't want to see me anymore, he said….he said he was done with me."Of course he did."I'm so sorry to hear that, although I still don't know why you're telling me all this.""I was working with him.""Working with him? How?""I was the one updating him of ev
The Billionaire Son-in-law 80. The Visit.
"Good morning to the residents of this household." Lucas thought it was just his imagination at first, but as the voice grew louder he realized it wasn't an illusion at all. He shot up from bed and hurried out to find his most despised rival seated like a king in his living room."What the hell are you doing in my house?""I'm not here to cause any trouble, I'm simply here to pay my love a visit. Where is she?" He asked casually."You must be lost then because I don't think I have your love here.""Williams, you really have to stop trying to compete with me. I'm always going to win no matter what you do.""We'll see about that.""Just call out Ivy while I'm being nice. I'm not taking her today if that's what you're scared of, I only wish to see her face and then I leave.""Don't make me call the cops Platana.""The cops?" He repeated, his voice mocking Lucas. "What are they going to do? Arrest me?""Just leave my house, it's way too early for this.""I agree, it is quite early isn't
The Billionaire Son-in-law 81. The Surgery.
Lucas could feel himself getting weaker by the second, and his bleeding shoulder was getting worse, the back of his shirt was completely soaked and the pain threatened to drive him crazy. Thankfully the traffic wasn't much so he was able to arrive at the hospital on time. He stumbled out of his car and dragged himself inside."I need to see doctor Julie now!" He told the nurse that went to his aid."Sir, you're bleeding. Wait here." She urged him to sit and she rushed to call someone. By the time she arrived, Lucas's vision was starting to blur and he couldn't hear her clearly.They helped him up and took him to a ward, he heard doctor Julie say the words 'wife' and 'surgery' then his vision turned black.★★★Avery took Desmond from Ivy as they walked out to Mike's car. "He's fine Ivy, I'm sure of it." She tried to comfort her but she couldn't calm her nerves.As they were about to get in, Ivy noticed a man approaching them with a smile on his face. Her heartbeat fired up and was beat

"Hey love, how are you feeling now?""Much better. I'm sorry I made you worried." Mike had told him all Ivy went through while he was unconscious."Are you sure you don't feel pain anymore?""Well…just a little. But I'm okay." He replied with a smile. "How's Desmond?""He's fine. Don't worry, I didn't leave your child alone, he's outside with Mike and Avery."Why didn't they let them in?""The nurse said it's not visiting hours yet, I was only allowed in because I'm your wife and I said I brought you food."He sat up and took Ivy's hand. "How are you?" His eyes held much concern as he stared carefully at her, trying to read her emotions."I'm fine.""No I mean, how are you? Like how are you holding up?"Her expression turned sour for a moment, making Lucas wonder what had been happening. "If I'm being honest with you Lucas, its been kinda hard." Even though he had only been gone for four days, Ivy was missing him a lot.Her mother had been pressuring her to give in to Andreas's wishes

"Lucas! Lucas!! You'll never guess what doctor Julie told me!""Okay." He replied casually and went back to the show he was watching."You're supposed to guess." She hit him on the chest."But you said I'll never guess what it is.""You were supposed to be more interested, darn it!""Right sorry. What did she say?""I'm not telling you anymore." She pouted and folded her arms."Aw come on, tell me.""No.""Come on, okay I'm sorry.""No. I'm not telling you. You'll have to wait nine months to see for yourself."She watched eagerly as his face went from confusion to excitement while he did the math. "Nine months- wait, you're pregnant?!""Yes!""Oh my goodness, that's wonderful.""I know.""Congratulations to us!""Yeah! I'm gonna be a mom… again.""Come on, let's call the guys so we can celebrate."★★★"Hey sis,""Peter?" Ivy's eyes widened as she saw her brother after all these months."Long time no see huh?""Oh come here." She pulled him in for a hug. "How've you been?""Good, I see

"Ivy, there's something important I would like to talk to you about.""Okay, go on.""I need to ask you a favor.""Anything honey.""Okay. I want you to be my next of kin.""What?""You know, in case anything bad happens to me-""No, zip it!""What? why?""Why the hell are you sounding like that?""Sounding like what?""Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Grover already did his worst and he failed terribly. The court has officially given you full rights over your parents fortune again, so why the hell would you talk like this?""I don't know. I just can't help but feel that Grover hasn't done his worst.""Well let him, we're going to be fine. Lucas , we have come a long way. Just look at all the nemesis you've had over the years . Smelly Andreas, yellow diamond guy, your COO- turned nemesis- turned best friend, my mother… and yet, none of them could defeat you.He's just a butler, he can't do anything.

"So, what are you planning on doing about the super mall? I mean, you can't just leave it vacant forever."Ivy was right, he hadn't really had the time to worry about it due to all the recent events that had been happening in his life. "You're right. What do you think we should do?" He threw the question back at her."I don't know. But for starters, I think you should probably employ some staff there. At least get some people to make you money.""I guess you're right. Do you have anyone in mind?""Um no, I actually don't. But I'm sure if you let your staff at the company know, they could make some recommendations.""That's true, I almost forgot I had a company.""Hehe, that's what happens when you're too rich." The couple laughed at her joke, forgetting their troubles for a brief moment. Moments like this.His life would be unbearable if it wasn't for moments like this. The time where they would just forget about their worries, times when they would pretend like their world was okay

Mia stretched as she stirred from her nap. She slowly sat up, yawning slightly."Did you enjoy your nap?"She smiled as she noticed detective Jones. "Yes, I did." She replied energetically, nodding her head."Good to know." He barely knew her but detective Jones found that he was already getting attached to her. Everything about her was utterly cute, her tiny voice, the way she smiled, the way she walked and even the way she snored lightly in her sleep.She folded her legs on the couch and hugged them to close her chest. "Now I'm hungry." She pouted as she rested her head on her knees.He laughed at her comment as he moved to sit next to her. "Well what do you want to eat?""I don't know, can we order pizza?""Sure."When the pizza finally arrived, she accepted it eagerly and rushed to the living room to show it to him. "Pizza's here.""Great." She set the pizza on the center table as he went to get drinks from the kitchen."How's master Lucas doing?" She asked with her mouth half ful

"What?!!" Grover barked at a young man who immediately dropped to his knees."I…I am truly sorry sir. They actually believed me at first, but then… uh…" The man stammered, unable to speak calmly."Will you quit stuttering and tell me what happened?!" The young man quavered at the sound of his voice."I'll tell you what happened." Festus intervened. "Milo! That son of a bitch double crossed us." He spat out, his face scrunched up in displeasure."Milo? Is he unaware that his wife works with us?""Of course not!. Haven't we all been in on this from the very begining?""How dare that nobody try to double cross me?""We have to teach him a lesson.""Of course we will. But first, you." He turned to the young man who was still on his knees."B… but s.. sir… I… I'm innocent.""Are you now? I gave you a simple task. Get the people to see the bad side of him, I even told you what to say… and yet you failed woefully. Can you see now that you deserve to be punished?""Please sir, I didn't do any

Haven't we all been in on this from the very beginning?""How dare that nobody try to double cross me?""We have to teach him a lesson."Detective Jones saw his opponent draw a weapon but he was too focused on the little lady in front of him to do anything about it. He felt the bullet pierce through his stomach and he clutched the wound, trying to minimize the bleeding. It wasn't the first time he would be getting shot but somehow, the pain was different this time around, prob

"You keep saying he won't show up, what are we going to do if he does? That boy can be unpredictable, you know.""Relax Festus, I already said he won't show up. And even if he does,I already have a plan for that as well. You know my dear friend, rumors are so easily spread among people,and our young friend here has some dirty rumors about him… all we have to do is dig it up.""Right, I see what you mean. We get someone to bring up all the rumors that had been spread before, and thanks to Marco Platana, we have quite a lot.""Exactly!""You know, now I actually hope he shows up. So I can watch him get really humiliated.""Indeed. And we'll be there to watch it all happen."★★★The announcer called his name and Lucas froze up. It was actually happening, he was the winner. He was getting an award.As he made his way to the stage, he noticed that some people were staring at him. Some with shock, some with envy, others just stared, wide eyed and expressionless.He took the mike and decide
248. Worst Nightmare
"Mother, hey, it is so nice of you to show up." Ivy said with a fake smile as she approached the woman who birthed her. "You know, it warms my heart that you two are here to support Lucas as well."Blanche's response was a hard glare and she scoffed at her daughter's words. "Oh Please, you know why your brother and I are here.""Of course, you are here to support your loving daughter and her hardworking husband.""Ivy–""It's okay mother, you don't have to say anything. I know exactly how you feel." Ivy was loving the look her mother had on her face, taunting her was making her feel so much better. Ivy was very unsure about the outcome of the event as well but she had been trying to put on a brave facade to reassure her husband. While it was true that Lucas was a good person and he always did the right thing, it was also very true that the world was a cruel place. And in some unfortunate situations, good people tend to suffer unjustly… especially if they were going up against powerf

Detective Jones saw his opponent draw a weapon but he was too focused on the little lady in front of him to do anything about it. He felt the bullet pierce through his stomach and he clutched the wound, trying to minimize the bleeding. It wasn't the first time he would be getting shot but somehow, the pain was different this time around, probably the brand of the pistol was a high one. Slowly, his legs gave in and it was suddenly impossible for him to stand. He went down on his knees as he felt his blood wetting his shirt and down to his pants. He was losing blood… and he was losing too much of it. From the corner or his eyes, he noticed his attackers running off, probably to prevent people from seeing them and the young lady ran towards him.He tried to lay down gently, to prevent himself from hitting his head on the hard ground or else that could cause another crucial injury. Before he lost the strength to stay awake, he noticed her making a call. Hopefully, if the ambulance arr
