"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?

"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
The Billionaire Son-in-law 94. First Hearing.
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

They decided to go for drinks to celebrate the success of the first hearing. Mike and Avery went with them as well. "To a great start." Mike toasted."To a great start." They chorused. "To a happy ending." Ivy added and they toasted to that as well. "Thank you both for sticking with us, you're one in a million.""You don't have to thank us, we're practically family now." Avery said as she squeezed Ivy's hand gently. "I know that if it were us, you guys would do the same for us.""I love you guys. Come on, let's mske one more toast." She refilled her glass and raised it up. "To friendship.""To friendship."★★★Lucas knew it was only the beginning but he and Ivy were long due for a date.This time, he didn't do something fancy or extravagant. Instead he organised a simple picnic, just the two of them like a young unmarried couple enjoying the beautiful day in autumn.Lucas was a lover of the autumn, of the colours that were bold and homely, strong and yet a call to remember our Earth

The case had been going on for almost a month and even though they had substantial evidence, Lucas was shocked as to how difficult it was for them to get Marco convicted."We can add the illegal trafficking case now." The lawyer said, frowning at his cup."Are you sure it's the right time?" As impatient as Lucas was, he still didn't want to act carelessly."Very sure. During the next hearing, we bring in the Influential brothers and we can start from there.""Okay, do you need me to do anything?""Not at all, you just sit back and relax.""Okay." Lucas wish he could just sit and relax but he couldn't, he was in the middle of the biggest case of his life and every second, the fear of losing creeps into his mind and puts his nerves on edge. So, relaxing was the last thing on his mind.★★★"Mr Conrad Millie?""Yes?""You're under arrest.""What?!""You're entitled to an attorney but if you can't get one for yourself, the government will provide one for you and you are advised to watch y
The Billionaire Son-in-law 97. The Sentence.
"Mr Conrad Millie, is it?""Yes, that is correct.""What is your relationship with Mr Platana?""We're long time business partners.""Okay. Would you mind explaining more about your business?""Well…uh…must I?""You don't have to but it doesn't matter. We have your voice recording and we can still charge you to court either you cooperate or not.""You can't sue me, I have done nothing wrong." He insisted, pride emanating from every word he spoke."Mr Millie, you're involved with Mr Platana which means you are involved in this case. If you don't speak the truth, you could be sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment for lying while under oath in the court of law. And you could also be charged for aiding and abetting, meaning you get the same sentence Mr Platana gets."Millie looked shaken up by the legal threat and Lucas could see that he was cracking. "Please I'll tell you everything I know. Just, help me." He pleaded.Lucas didn't know that just lying in court could result in such a h
