"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.

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

"Are you deaf? Or am I speaking in a language you can't understand? Why the heck do you have to be so boneheaded all the time?"It did sound like his mother in-law was speaking in a language he couldn't understand, because he couldn't understand a damn thing she was saying."We're so close, so damn close. How can you just call us now and say you want us to back out? I mean, that can't be possible in a million years.""Mother, please calm down." Peter tried to cool her down. "You know I am always on your side and I always do what will make you happy.Mother, why are you insisting on us backing out? As Lucas said, we are already so close to winning, backing out now will make things worse.""Oh so now you're on Lucas's side huh? You're taking his side over your own mother?!""No, I would never. You know I am always on your side, come rain, come sun…this is just a really difficult issue.""I've said my bit, and that's what you all are going to do.""What is wrong with you mother? Why mus
The Billionaire Son-in-law 99. The End.
"Hey,""Hey." With only a day left before the final hearing, Lucas was suddenly feeling nervous. They had come a long way and he hoped the results would be favorable to them."Are you worried about what mother said?"Blanche's threat had unnerved Ivy for the last few days that she was getting anxious over the slightest of things. "No, I was just thinking.""What do you think she meant by that?" She stared at him, her eyes searching his for answers or at least a hint at what he was feeling."I don't think it's anything to be worried about. You know your mother, she would say anything to get what she wants.""Are you sure? She sounded pretty serious.""So what, you want to back out?""No. I was just worried about you."He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him. "Look, everything is going to be alright. Nothing bad is gonna happen to you or me, or any one we care about. Okay?""Okay.""I don't want you to get all worked up about something that isn't important.

The Billionaire Son-in-law 100. Surgery
Ivy froze in her steps as Platana snatched a gun from the police officer in front of him and aimed it at her. She knew she was supposed to run, or at least move out of the way but she couldn't.Fear crept into her mind and drilled her to the spot she stood. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed Lucas running towards her but before she could warn him, it was too late. She heard the loud bang of the gunshot and Lucas was bleeding terribly. She watched in horror as her husband fell to the ground and soon he was covered in a pool of blood."No, no, please stay with me." She felt horrible and her entire body was trembling badly.Some of the people present in court ran out while others watched, gasping and pointing at Platana. The lawyer rushed to them and pressed his hands on Lucas's wound. "I already called the ambulance and they're on their way." He announced without taking his eyes off Lucas.She heard him call her name but he couldn't say anything else because of the blood spillin
