In the previous post, we talked about what was and what is, so in this part we will be diving into what will be.Grover seemed to believe she was responsible because she went with them but what he didn't know was that she wasn't the only one there. Lucas's parents left the mansion with Blanche but they stopped to pick up her husband, Milo on the way. Another surprise guest they had was none other than Mr William's best friend, Festus Augustine.So instead of one prime suspect, he had three, and they all had separate motives to harm the couple.Milo's and Festus' motives were very similar, it was obvious that both men were after the wealth of James williams.Blanche on the other hand wouldn't have wished him death, according to Grover, she was very much in love with James at the time so she couldn't have wished him death. But, she had a motive to kill his wife instead. Diving further, he noticed something that seemed to catch his attention. She was a suspect for murder but the allega
"What did my mother do?" She asked as she stood by the entrance."Ivy, when did you get back? I thought you went for a walk." Lucas immediately got to his feet."What did my mother do Lucas?" She repeated the question, tears already blurring her vision."Nothing, she didn't do anything." He tried to sound casual but she could see the unmistakable look of fear in his pale blue eyes, fear that she might have found out something."What are you hiding from me Lucas?" She questioned with trembling voice."Nothing.""Detective Jones, what are you doing here?" "We were just discussing the progress of the investigation.""Do not lie to me, I know what I heard Lucas." This was the worst way she could find out something so huge, and it was definitely not the way he intended on telling her. "Look Ivy, there's no easy way to say this but–""While I was investigating," detective Jones interrupted, drawing her attention to him. "I found out that your mother was an acquaintance to the main suspect
FLASHBACK.Twenty five years ago.James Williams was seated in front of the bald, old man before him. It was another tiresome day in front of Thomas Garcia, his rival and CEO of his opposing company. That day, he had gone there for the same reason he had been frequenting the company. He was waiting patiently for a positive reply until Thomas began to say;'I'm sorry to inform you that…' The rest of the sentence grew redundant to James's ears. His offer had been rejected. Again! He glanced up to the ceiling and shut his eyes tight, trying to contain the anger that was brewing inside of him. This was all Thomas's doing, that bastard!.James had been trying to get a permit to begin his new project but Thomas was doing all he could to prevent it from happening.Not wanting to go home and report the news of his failure to his wife he decided to go to the usual bar where he hung out with his friends.Being the kind of person that he was, James didn't have much friends. He wasn't exactly
"I have told my wife to place the bid. And here's my proposal. If she wins, you must all promise to make Ivy over here," he paused to steal a glance at her, and the worried state on her face propelled him to speak faster, "the family CEO, and never ever, mention us divorcing again." "And if she doesn't win?" Said Peter, almost instantly. He was losing his patience already. "Then, I'll leave her and never bother this family ever again." There was a loud gasp from Ivy, a slender hand covered on her opened mouth. This reaction followed a raucous laughter from Blanche, and Peter followed in the footsteps of his mother. Her mouth twitched with a smile, and let out a triumphant yelp. "Oh... So you, you want to tell me that... Seriously?" Another series of thundering laughter followed. "You think that she would win? That you can win this bet? Ha!" A faint tremor of amusement was on his lips. Lucas watched in silence all through their drama. He was certain that his wife would win.
"Mr Williams?""Come in Mike." He walked in and stood in front of Lucas's table. "Please, sit down.""Thank you sir.""Yes well, I called you here to ask about the bidding. I wanted Ivy Mochi to be announced as the winner so, what happened?""Well sir, I went through her file and well…her bid wasn't high enough to meet the company's requirements so I thought I should inform you before making any decision."That might be a problem. Situations like this usually required an investor or someone who was willing to put down a lot of money, and Ivy didn't have anyone like that, her mother could probably help but he knew she wouldn't, especially because of the dare. "What should we do sir?""Give me some time to think, I'll let you know my decision.""Alright sir.""Thank you.""You're welcome sir."★★★"Look at what you've done Ivy, you've ruined us. How are you going to save us from this debt? Tell me!.""Mother, please calm down. The winner hasn't been announced yet, we might still have a

FLASHBACK"Well, well, well, if it isn't Mr James Anthony Williams, I see you're doing well. Business is booming, people are chanting your name and even the Mayor loves you now. Your life is perfect isn't it?""What are you doing here Arthur? Because, last time I checked, you didn't want to see my face.""Well what can I say, I wasn't really in the mood back then.""So what do you want now?""Before you met Festus, it was just you and I but immediately that greedy crook came into your life, you stopped listening to me.""That isn't true at all, Arthur we're not children, I think I'm passed the age of choosing besties or anything like that. I thought we were three mature men who had business deals together. To me, there was no difference when it was just the two of us and when Festus was involved.""Well to me there was! There was a HUGE difference!""So what? Is that why you betrayed me? You were mad that I introduced him to our business so you decided that the best way to get back at
"Well, how does it feel to be back home?" Ivy asked Lucas who was examining their living room like it was a strange place."It feels…good. Feels like I haven't been here in years." He took a seat on the sofa, still looking around his home."I'm not the one who was hospitalized but I kinda feel that way too." Ivy said as she joined him."Yeah well that's probably because you barely came home at all.""I couldn't bear to leave you alone." She said simply as she stared into his pale blue eyes that always seemed to make her toes curl."I'm really sorry you went through so much because of me.""I'm the one who should be apologising, it should have been me and not you.""I'm glad it was me. I don't know what I would have done if something bad had happened to you." It was true. Lucas would have lost it if Ivy was the one who got shot, he could recall how he almost went crazy when she had an accident."So, what are you going to do now?""What do you mean?""I mean, you're back home now…are yo
