Lucas opened his eyes slowly, he felt weak and his arms were starting to hurt. He was suspended in mid air by his arms and he was in a slightly dark room.Peter was on the ground , still unconscious but he wasn't restrained. He heard footsteps and he closed his eyes."Are you awake Lucas?"He felt his stomach turn as he heard the voice of the man he had grown to hate with passion. He opened his eyes to find Platana staring at him, his face closer than Lucas appreciated."Son of a bitch, I should have known it was you.""Yes, it was me." He had his stupid stuck up smile on his ugly face and a lit cigarette in his mouth. "When I woke up this morning, I just remembered you and I was like…how can that nobody annoy me this much? So I decided to teach you a lesson."He said at first he only wanted to get married to Ivy to honor Blanche's wishes but when he saw Ivy, his mind changed.Platana didn't love Ivy, amd it was very obvious. When Blanche asked him to marry her daughter, he probably t
Around five thirty AM, Ivy finally lost the war she was waging with sleep. She held Desmond in her arms to give her a sense of comfort. By seven in the morning, Lucas arrived at their apartment. He quietly let himself in and wobbly made his way to the bedroom. As he laid his eyes on Ivy's peaceful sleeping body, he was relieved. Seeing her confirmed one thing, he was alive, he made it and something good managed to come out of his torture. While he was in captive, he feared for his life, he didn't know if he would he strong enough to withstand all what he had, but now he was here. He could see his wife and his child again.He took a shower and changed out of his bloody clothes before waking her. "Hey love."She slowly opened her eyes and as she saw him, a wave of relief suddenly washed over her. "Oh Lucas." He winced as she threw her arms around him. "Are you hurt? What happened? Should we go to the hospital?""We might have to, I think I night have a broken rib.""Oh my God!" She ga
"How could you not mention anything to me? Oh my goodness, I can't believe it. I had no idea."When her mother called her, Ivy thought she wanted to ask about what happened or at least apologise for ignoring her calls."Are you kidding me right now? Mother I called you, I called you and father, several times…neither of you answered your phones. Do you have any idea how I felt when it happened? And I wanted to talk to you, either of you, and you both ignored me.""That is a lie, I never ignored you.""Then why didn't you pick up?!""Calm down Ivy, there's no need to get worked up.""Don't say that father. It's not fair, why didn't you pick up? Why?""I am sorry my dear child. I must have been busy.""Busy? Too busy to return my calls too?""He already apologised, what more would you want him to say?""Mother, how can you say that?""Please, you guys, I don't want you to get worked up over nothing. I'm here and I'm not hurt." Peter intervened."And what about Lucas? Is it the same for h
"You wanted to see me?" Detective Jones had called early that morning and asked to meet him at the mansion but Lucas didn't want to leave Ivy by herself so he asked him to come to their apartment instead."Yes sir, I have good news.""What's that?""I have Marco Platana's arrest warrant.""What?" Ivy yelled out from the bedroom. "For real?" She rushed out grinning from ear to ear. "We can finally arrest him?" She asked, excitement written all over her face."Yes ma'am."Ivy jumped up in excitement and she threw her arms around Lucas. He was happy as well but he knew their work was only beginning."What about Ric?""I'll be going over there today to request his bail. Would you like to come with me?""Sure, let me just get changed and then we'll go.""Okay.""Will you be okay by yourself?" He asked Ivy."I'm not a baby Lucas." She said with a smile then she added more quietly. "I can go over to Avery's if I don't want to be by myself.""Okay that's better."Deciding he wanted to go casu
"Williams, my favorite person in the entire universe.""Platana, my least favorite person in the entire universe.""How are you? Have your wounds healed up completely?""As a matter of fact, Yes it has.""That's a relief, for a moment there I was worried you might not be completely healed up before your next session." Marco noticed the confused look on Lucas's face and he went on to explain further. "You know how you're refusing to give up Ivy easily? Well…I've decided not to take things easy with you either.Ivy made herself clear and I can never go against the words of my beloved, she said you can't be held in an custody for note than a day. So you you get to spend one day with us every week?... Two weeks? I haven't really figured out how the routine is going to go yet.The plan is, my boys pick you up every once in a while and you receive a nice torment like you did the last time, and we release you in twenty four hours.And then we repeost the cycle until you give up Ivy or until
"What do you really want to do? Will you start up a business or you just want to lay low for a while?" Lucas wanted to offer her accommodation at the mansion but that would be risky, so he decided to help sort her out instead. "I wouldn't mind starting up a business but I'm not sure what to do.""Is there anything you like? Perhaps a hobby that you could earn from…or just something you're good at? The muffin shop isn't a bad idea either." "Yes but I know nothing about baking.""Oh okay then. Do you have anything on your mind?""Hmm…well I could own a food truck?""A food truck? Do you like cooking?""Hmm…not exactly. But I'm good at it.""Okay, so you want like a burger truck or…?""No. I'm going to make my local dishes.""Where are you from?""Mexico, yelapa.""Oh and what are the local dishes there?""There are quite a lot actually but I think I'll make the ones people are sure to enjoy. Like the burrito, tacos, tostadas, quezadilla and many more others.""Those all sound delicio
"No fucking way!." Andreas quickly turned up the volume to hear the news lady's announcement. "No fucking way." He repeated, obviously shocked by the news content. He brought out his phone and dialed Blanche's number. "Did you watch the news?""No, why?""Turn on your tv and check the news now.""What's so important that I have to see now?""Just check.""You know I'm busy, our trip was delayed and I can't let that happen again so I have to be fully prepared.""You might not have to go on that trip after you see what I'm talking about.""That serious?""See for yourself." She hung up and did what she was told and sure enough, the news content was a shocking one.Popular businessman Marco Platana has been arrested. He was taken from his house two days ago on the grounds of attempted murder and assault to Mr Lucas Williams, a staff at the prestigious company owned by multi billionaire, Mr Freddie Williams.Blanche's eyes widened in shock as she saw Marco in handcuffs on the news. "This
To be "Anxious" is normal when there is something important on the line, and there was something important on the line…his life. It's okay to feel it. All emotions are there to educate you. Lucas tried to comfort himself as he paced around nervously outside the court room.He didn't know what to expect, the happiness he felt before, his cheerful mood had disappeared completely, leaving behind this dreadful feeling.Lucas felt the need to move almost without end; if his limbs were moving the anxiety was gone, or at least he could ignore it a while. But once he stopped, it would slowly creep back into his mind like a disease, reminding him of the dangers that lurked if he failed to win the case."Hey love." Ivy approached him with concern all over her face. "Are you okay?"Ivy. His medicine.His guardian angel, he didn't think he would be able to do this if she wasn't with him.To Lucas, Ivy was his protector, his defender, a ride-or-die connection that stayed with him always and in all
