The Billionaire Son-in-law 135. The Seed Of Greed.
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

"Ivy wait up! Please at least listen to me."Ivy doubled her pace in an attempt to shake off the other woman that was on her tail."At least hear me out before you decide that you want to make me your number one enemy.""You lied to me! I trusted you, even when my mind told me not to. I trusted you and what did you do?, you lied right to my face. Again and again!.""Ivy–""Our whole friendship was built on a lie. Did I even mean anything to you?""Of course you did, and you still do.""Yeah?...well I don't believe you.""Ivy–""You made a fool out of me Kelly, you probably thought I was stupid." Her mother had once told her that she trusted people too much, and it was one of her worst flaws. Even Lucas had made mention of it that she was too soft and she had the tendency of trusting people easily and now that she was experiencing the consequence, it wasn't feeling good."Of course not. I thought you were sweet and very kind.""What Lucas said about you, was it true or false?""Ivy pl

✩★✩ Ivy patiently awaited the arrival of her husband and not more than thirty minutes later, Lucas walked in. "I called, why didn't you answer?" She questioned as he shut the door."I'm sorry love, my battery is down. I forgot to charge it before leaving home and I didn't take my charger with me.""Did you go to see the detective?" "No, I wanted to go for a walk then I decided to stop by and see a friend. Is something wrong?"Ivy didn't know what to start with. She wanted to tell him about Kelly but she also wanted to question him about her mother. So she decided to weigh each issue and see which is heavier.If she talked about Kelly, Lucas would get mad, that was certain but, she could try to calm him down and with much persuasion, she could even get him to believe that she was on their side.Her mother's issues on the other hand, was completely different. If she brought it up, there was a possibility that Lucas would try to evade the matter totally. And if he didn't, she was afrai

As evening casted her shadowy garment, when the breeze became brand-new and placid, the time of joyful reflection had arrived. He needed to clear his head, and so he dashed out, plodding into the silent street of their little town. He decided to take a slow walk, one that wouldn't lead him down the busy areas where shops and bars and restaurants dominated the surrounding, as well as the location that habited the crowds. He needed to think straight - alone. The cool breeze pricked his skin, holding the scent of earthy fragrance around the surrounding. His wife was a lovely woman, the only problem was her family. When Lucas was only ten, the Mochi family had taken him in and since then, adopted him. They weren't nice people and often treated him poorly but he had always believed their hatred towards him was because he and their daughter had fallen in love, and ran off to do a secret wedding. Lucas had already known his mother in law, Blanche, was a bad person, he was just sur

"Good morning.""Good morning.""It's uh…it's good to see you back at work."He had resumed for more than a week but his COO hadn't stopped by his office to see him. "Thanks.""So, any plans for the grand opening of the super mall?"Even though they had already named the mall, most people still called it 'the super mall' himself included. "Nothing special. It's going to be just a normal opening. We'll have some members of the press and we should probably invite some members of the board as well. Probably just one or two.""Okay, I'll get right to it."He wasn't so sure if he wanted Mike to be in charge of anything just yet, but then again if he was busy with the invitation, it could give him more space and time to prepare with Grover. "Okay, and who else do you think we can invite?""Maybe some important members of the society, some of our business partners….oh and the supplier."The supplier. Kelly. Lucas wasn't sure if he wanted her to be there, but if what Ivy said was actually tru
The Billionaire Son-in-law 141. The Warning.
A quote once said: “The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.” Ivy Mochi was exactly that type of strong woman. She always made sure she came through, no matter what she could be facing. Whenever things got tough or it felt like she was at a dead end, she would keep pushing until she makes her way.That determination. It was one of the reasons Lucas loved her so dearly, among many other reasons. The difficult task she was currently facing was making a decision. She felt like she was caught between the hammer and the anvil. She trusted Lucas totally, so she wasn't worried that he would do anything to harm her in any way.But, selling the company felt like a really huge decision…especially since she would be selling it behind her mother's back.The trade had its advantages and it also had its d
The Billionaire Son-in-law 142. Farewell.
"Good morning sire, I wasn't expecting to see you today.""Yeah, well I just thought I should stop by to see you since it's been a while." The real motive behind his visit was to ask if Grover knew any competent broker and then find a way to tell him his plan."Well, it's good that you're concerned about me." The old man commented with a smile. Lucas knew that Grover was aware he had an ulterior motive so he just decided to announce it and save him the stress of asking. "Also, I need a broker.""Whatever for? I don't mean to pry in your personal business and you clearly don't owe me any explanation, I was just interested in knowing.""Of course. The thing is, I want to sell the super mall." He blurted out and paused to read the man's expression."Sell it?" He asked, his facial expression was still quite difficult to read. "Yes…and I want Ivy to buy it." Just then, the young slender maid that always served him snacks walked in, reducing the tension in the air by half. "Oh treat, grea
