Love me, baby 62 - There's something wrong
MORGANA FOSTERThe sight in front of me sent shivers down my spine. My head was spinning. I could feel everything swirling around me. How could I feel so disgusted and angry at the same time?Why was Ryan locked in a passionate embrace with another woman? Didn't he tell me yesterday that he loved me? Who was she? I fixed my gaze on them for a while, trying to see more clearly through the haze of anger clouding my vision. The blonde hair made me recognize her immediately. Lindsay Thomas. Anger consumed my mind, and I approached them, grabbing her hair with a firm hand and pulling her off him, throwing her abruptly to the floor. She looked at me in surprise and fell with a hollow scream.Ryan had his eyes closed and slowly opened them, looking drowsy and unconscious. Or maybe drunk?How could he do this to me after all the declarations he made yesterday?"How could you? DAMN IT!" I yelled, advancing toward him.A pain roared in my chest. That pain I knew all too well. He was deliberately

MORGANA FOSTERI walked to the kitchen, washed my trembling hands, and leaned against the sink. Lindsay, why did you do this? There were no apparent reasons, but maybe there was something deeper that I didn't know. Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a message from an unknown number.Unknown: This is just the beginning. Keep an eye out.My heart raced. Who the hell was behind this? Lindsay couldn't have acted alone. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. The paramedic stopped in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts to give him all the information about Ryan, while the other provided first aid still inside the mansion."He may have been drugged," I whispered with a thread of a voice, but he heard and took note."Alright," the guy said, closing the clipboard after making all the relevant observations. "Your driver called the police; they met you at the hospital.""Please, hold on with him," I pleaded with the paramedics as they took him away. "Don't let him..."

RYAN BURKERYAN BURKEWhen Morgana left the restaurant with her ex-boyfriend, I had to fight my instincts and the overwhelming urge to go after her. I'm trying this new thing of respecting the things she wants. But it's not for me."Mr. Ryan?" Lindsay called out, and I turned to her with a raised eyebrow."I thought you had already left, Miss Thomas," I said in a soft tone. "What do you want?" I replied, trying to control my frustration. The last thing I needed right now was to deal with another person.She approached, a suggestive smile on her lips. "Looks like things aren't going so well with Morgana, huh?"I rolled my eyes. "It's none of your business. What do you want?"Lindsay smiled even wider, an expression that I knew meant trouble. "I'm just trying to help. Maybe I can help you forget about this terrible night."I sighed, trying to keep calm. "Lindsay, I'm not interested. If you really want to help, go away and leave me alone."She moved closer, completely ignoring what I said

MORGANA FOSTERWe've been at the hospital for a few hours now. Sorya is on her way. Ryan remains unconscious; the doctor said it would take a few more hours for him to wake up due to the amount of drugs he ingested.I feel so small and helpless now that I can't do anything but wait. My chest feels tight. I wonder how Lindsay got to our house, how she convinced him to drink with her, and how he didn't suspect he might be drugged? What was her purpose?Covering my face with my hands, I felt tears threatening to spill over. The feeling of powerlessness was overwhelming, like being trapped in a whirlpool of chaos and despair.And what was I doing with my life? Everything seemed to be falling apart around me, and I felt incapable of stopping it. What am I doing with my life? What is all of this? Why is this happening?The police are currently looking for that bitch Lindsay. I asked James to return to the mansion and get clothes and some toiletries for me and Ryan. I called Winnie's cell pho

RYAN BURKEI feel my body sway, my eyes are so heavy that I can't open them. I don't remember much after I started drinking with Lindsay this afternoon.I saw Morgana with a sorrowful look on her face, she walked towards the door, I wanted to reach out to her, but I tasted a strong iron-like taste in my mouth and I didn't move anymore after identifying a tube.I notice that I'm hooked up to machines and my chest races.What the hell happened? Am I in a hospital?Morgana says something I can't quite understand, but her almond eyes are swollen and red. Was she crying?Her wide brown eyes lifted, and she gave me a smile. She was still wearing the same worn-out jeans and t-shirt as when I saw her. So it couldn't have been long since I've been here.I follow her with my eyes the whole time, hers don't leave me either. I'm trying to latch onto anything that distracts me and makes my mind stop trying to remember how I ended up here since everything is a blur. Morgana walks out the door and re
Last Updated : 2023-02-25Love me, baby 67 - It's time to tell you the truth
SORYA BURKEI've been waiting for a car since I left the hospital. I dismissed the driver because where I have to go now is a secret I can't share with any acquaintances. No one directly connected to my family and who could be bribed.I didn't want to have to come to this point and collect this debt, but it's getting too far. Three attacks in less than two months, I feel like I have to do something. I get into the car the app indicated, and it heads to the slums of Rookgaard. It seems like a city parallel to our reality. The streets are dirty and dark. There isn't much infrastructure in these parts.The smell of open sewage predominates much of the way. The driver gives me an intrigued look before stopping the car at the entrance to Venice Beach, because no non-resident visits the neighborhood. Everything seems very disorganized compared to the uniform blocks I'm used to."We're here, ma'am," he says without much reserve before pulling over the car. "I apologize for intruding, but what

MORGANA FOSTERRyan has woken up and is looking better. I'm trying to look after him. I text Bethany to let her know what's happened. She's worried, but happy that nothing too serious has happened. Ryan is sleeping heavily in bed. His chest rises and falls slowly during his calm, sleepy breathing.I'm sitting on the sofa because I slept next to him all afternoon and he must be completely doped up on medication. My cell phone vibrates in my hand.Elliot: Hello, Mel! Morgana: Hello Elliot! Elliot: Is everything all right? Elliot:I was thinking of taking you out to dinner tonight, what do you think? I sighed sadly before answering.Morgana: I can't. I'm in hospital. Elliot: Why? Has something happened? Do you need anything? Morgana: Not with me. With Ryan. I'm fine. Elliot: Let me know if you need anything! And keep me informed, okay? Morgana:Okay. I'll try to sleep now. Good night, Elliot ❤️ Elliot: Rest well and let me know if anything happens, good night ❤️ I put my cell phon

MORGANA FOSTERIt was past lunchtime when the doctor came to discharge Ryan. We're waiting for James to bring some clothes so we can go home. Ryan has been acting like a helpless little boy since he woke up. I'm letting him get away with this behavior while he's sick, though sometimes it tests my patience.I sigh, guiding my gaze to him as he lies in bed eating gelatin like it's the best dessert in the world. The door opens, and James appears, slim and a bit sweaty."Sorry for the delay," he says, catching his breath. "I had to take Miss Kyle to the doctor."Ryan's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at James, his face turning a bit pale."What happened to Elena?" he asked, staring intently at him. "Is she okay? Is my son okay?"A small bitterness rose in my mouth, but it was comforting to know that Ryan was worried about his son. James wiped his forehead with a handkerchief he took from his pocket."She's fine, sir," he says, leaning against the sofa and removing the backpack from his shou

Love me, baby EPILOGUE
MORGANA FOSTERI hurried down the hallway with my heart beating fast and my breath catching. If she found me, I was done for. I ducked under the table, covering my body with the curtain, trying not to make any noise."Gotcha!" The little blonde head ran towards me, stumbling in front of me. The bright blue eyes, as clear as Ryan's, stared at me with a toothless, gleaming smile."Oh, Alanis," I replied, patting the little one's head, "you found me, huh?"Alanis laughed, a childish, joy-filled laugh that filled the room. She pointed to the makeshift hiding spot under the table."'I found you, Auntie, but you're terrible at this!'" she exclaimed, her eyes still filled with amusement.I rolled my eyes affectionately, knowing my hiding attempt was useless. "'You're too smart, Alanis. I can't escape you, it seems.'"The little one got up and sat beside me, playing with her fingers as she looked at me. "'You look sad, Morgana. Why?'"I smiled, trying to disguise my feelings in front of her i
Love me, baby 119. CURRENT DAYS
Four months later, Rookgaard, California. Burke's grandparents' house."The trial is in a week," Sorya says. "Do you want to go?"The dining table, once filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses and utensils, is now immersed in complete silence. I look around to make sure I'm not alone in my silence. I swallow the bitter ache of the hours of terror I suffered at the hands of the two women."I don't feel like seeing them again," I mutter, feeling a lump forming in my throat. "Just the thought of sharing the same space with them fills me with anger.""And you don't have to go if you don't want to!" Elena says, laying her hand on mine, giving me a warm smile. Her cheeks are rosy, and her belly is huge. The baby will be born soon.I give her a weak smile and mumble a quiet thank you to her. At first, I never thought I'd feel comfortable beside my 'rival,' but now that she's engaged to James, her presence is no longer a threat to me.
Love me, baby 118. LOST
MORGANA FOSTER"You're really dumb, Mr. Burke!" Alessandra says, pressing the gun barrel against my head.I swallow hard, feeling the pressure and weight of the metal barrel on my head. My eyes automatically widen as if the whole world stops spinning when I hear the gun being cocked."Let's negotiate," Ryan says calmly, looking at the men with him, who step back a bit. "What do you want?""We've already said," Winnie replies this time. "16 million dollars in my account. By noon... And maybe I'll release this one here."She says, pulling my head back, which tilts backward. The taste of iron fills my mouth. Maybe this is it. A fight over money."Even if I wanted to, that's a lot of money," he replies."See? Mrs. Burke," Alessandra says with a laugh. "He doesn't think you're worth it.""In the end, all the Burke's are the same. Why are you so stubborn?" Winnie says, turning to face me. "Maybe he'll take us seriously if we shoot her. What do you think?"My breath remains irregular, my hea
Love me, baby 117. Like mother And daughter
MORGANA FOSTER"Missed me?" Alessandra's unmistakable voice cuts through the entire shed, invading my ears.A new flood of emotions fills my soul as I spot her profile appearing in the corner of my eye until she's fully in front of me.How did I let myself be fooled by that silly story of her becoming a nurse to take care of her mother?"What happened?" Alessandra sneers with a disdainful expression on her face. "Cat got your tongue?""I think she's a bit surprised that you're my daughter," Winnie declares.Alessandra walks over to Winnie's side and leans on the counter. I hadn't noticed before, but there's a short resemblance between the two. I feel completely different now. Foolish for never noticing anything strange about them.I swallow hard as I watch the two of them. I can't believe this is true. Part of me wants to completely deny that I could be so blind."What are we going to do with her?" Alessandra says, turning to her mother."I don't know," Winnie replies with a satisfied
Love me, baby 116. The search
RYAN BURKEI practically flew down the road incessantly without the certainty that I'll find her well. The damn phone rings so many times that I can't keep count. It rings eight times and goes to voicemail again."Hello, you've reached Doctor Foster, please leave your message after the beep."I insist on calling again, the echoing sound as the phone rings is deafening."Come on, Morgana!" I speak nervously. "Come on, pick up!""Hello, you've reached Doctor Foster, please leave your message after the beep."I slam both hands on the steering wheel in frustration.I pray in my heart that she's just too tired to hear the phone ringing. In fact, the adrenaline pumping through me, boiling like lava, begs to all the gods that she's just asleep in our room.I press down on the accelerator with a tight heart, thoughts that she might be in danger consume me entirely. I fear it might already be too late to reach her. Ronan's car is following me, I know it's him because I saw my mom getting into

MORGANA FOSTERShe gives a bitter smile as she finishes her speech. I can't imagine her pain, but I understand that it hurts. She paused, taking a breath, while I absorbed every word. The intensity of the moment deepened with each revelation."However, the compensation didn't bring my loved ones back," she continued, her gaze fixed on some point beyond me. "And the person responsible for maintaining that machine, who didn't do his job properly, was none other than your father, Morgana. He was the supervisor that night. And he wasn't there to ensure that everything was working properly."A chill ran down my spine. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My father, responsible for two deaths?"So, you think I should pay for his mistakes?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Winnie gave a bitter smile. "No, Morgana. You don't understand. It's not just about revenge. It's about justice. He continued with his life, as if nothing had happened. As if any amount could pay for my son's lif
Love me, baby 114. I'll tell you something
MORGANA FOSTERI wake up feeling a tight grip around my wrists, chest, and ankles. My suspicion is confirmed when I pull them and feel the rope scraping against my skin. I raise my head slowly, still feeling a heavy weight on it, accompanied by a throbbing buzz in my ear.I open and close my eyes a few times, getting used to the low light of the place. My mouth is completely dry; I run my lips around my tongue, partially moistening them.There's no noise outside. At least not near where I am.I try not to panic and breathe slowly to catch my breath.I see my bare feet and nails covered in dirt and small pieces of grass. Looking up, I spot the floating particles of dust coming through a tiny glass window. I look to the side, and the walls are cast iron. As if I'm in some sort of container or warehouse shed. The smell of mold and rust is faint but can be sensed in the environment.The floor is dirty, with dust everywhere. My dress is slightly torn at the hem, with tape wrapped around th

RYAN BURKEThe day at the company was chaotic. With Uncle Ned's departure, things spiraled out of control too quickly. Many questions arose about how things reached this point and went unnoticed by us all this time. And with all this situation, it fell to me to analyze all the transactions and operations carried out by him and his team. There were many suspicions and many discrepancies in the information.I had to inform Stefan and Nick about the recent events so they could be prepared to support my aunt Cibila. I assured them that I wouldn't involve the police in this out of consideration for our friendship and because we're family, but he would have to leave the company without any rights.Which is not unfair. I also passed on the information to my grandfather, who didn't have a very different reaction from the shareholders, but Grandpa Burke would handle Ned differently. And that was their problem. I spent the whole day analyzing every single transaction he made. There was a lot to
Love me, baby 112 - Missing
MORGANA FOSTERI remember little of being fully awake. Memories are jumbled in my mind like a giant, torturous blur. I feel my body being lifted from the chair and dragged outside the mansion. I can't scream, nor could I. My arms are lifted and pulled back, she drags me through the property with agony.Can I scream? But...Who would hear me? Bethany is with John. Ryan is at the company. I let Tyron off his duties earlier, James is taking care of Elena, and Alessandra hasn't been with us for months.What I can't get out of my head is how my stalker could be Winnie? What did I do to her? Why would she kidnap me or attempt on my life? I only met her after the Burkes, there was no real reason for her to target me.I couldn't believe it was her, my stalker. She who had always been so kind and friendly. The sweet woman who took care of all of us. It didn't seem real to me! How did this happen? How could she do such a thing?The blurry images of corridors and furniture passing through my eye
