"Judging from Mike's conversation, it's possible someone might come to the house asking about the deed. So I think it'll be smart to be on the look out.""You're absolutely right sire, but…what if nobody does?""That's also a possibility. Even if it's someone you're familiar with, I doubt he or she is just going to show up and ask for the deed of the house. Okay, how about this? Does the mansion have surveillance cameras?""Yes sire.""Very good. We should have someone watching them round the clock, just to be on the safe side.""Alright sire.""Yeah, and make sure it's someone you trust completely. With the situation at hand, I think that'll be the best option.""Of course.""Then, the deed…you still have them right?""Yes sire, but I was thinking it would be safer it you took them home.""Oh no, you've been doing a great job keeping it safe all these years–""—only because I was holding on to it pending the time that I found you. You're back now so it's only fair that you take poss

"Did you hear the news mother?" Peter rushed to share his latest discovery with Blanche but she seemed less concerned."I have a lot on my mind Peter, I don't have time for the news." She replied without even looking at him."But this is important. Remember the CEO of that huge company, Mr Williams…""...the one Lucas works for?""Yes. He's putting the newly built mall up for sale.""What?!" She sat up, her eyes lighting up with interest."Yes, so Lucas was telling the truth then.""So he was,""Do you know what this means mother?" He touched her arm slightly to emphasize on the importance of the news. "This is a huge opportunity for us. Can you imagine how much money we'll make if we buy it?""Buy it?""Yes. Just think about it. You have lots of rich friends, and so do I…if we were the owners of the mall, they would definitely patronise us and even bring their friends as well.""Yes…that's true." Her eyes widened as she suddenly found herself daydreaming about what life would be like

"I really thought we could be friends." Ivy said, her voice was very quiet and she had the unmistakable look of heartbreak in her eyes."Me too Ivy." She aimed the weapon at Lucas's head. "I wish it didn't have to end this way." "Drop your weapon!" A deep male voice ordered.Lucas shut his eyes and heaved a breath of relief. Two officers tackled Kelly to the ground after her weapon had been taken from her. They handcuffed her and took her away while another officer rushed to help Lucas with his wound.An ambulance arrived minutes later and his wound was attended to. They offered to take him to the hospital but he refused, even though Ivy was upset about his decision."Alright take care sir." The officer greeted as he dropped them off at their house. "We'll let you know if we have any questions.""No problem officer, thank you."After they went in, Ivy rushed to the kitchen and returned with a tall glass. "What's that?" He asked as she handed it to him."Cold water. You need it."He a

Lucas sat alone in his king-sized office, it felt peaceful once he was back in the comforts of his empty office. The meeting hadn't gone as he expected."I hear you're the one closest to the CEO (chief executive officer), is that true?" A short, pot-bellied man asked. "I am sure you know who I am. My name is Simon Orlando, I have been partners with this very company for quite some time now. Close to five years if I'm not mistaken, and we've never had any problems." There was no need for an introduction but he kept on going on about who he was and what he did."I know who you are Mr Orlando, what I still don't know is the reason for this meeting and that's what I'm more concerned about." He knew the reason they were all gathered, he just wanted to hear from the horse's mouth."To show my appreciation to you for your hard work, I would like to offer a new company car." He raised a car key to show everyone present. "A Lamborghini Veneno." He announced with pride.Lucas's eyes widened mom

"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 treid 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
