Tricia POV I looked at Morgan as he smiled. He was driving and smiling. Although I trusted his skills, I still feared that we might have an accident. We got home safely, and I got out of the car; my sister walked to stabilize me as I walked. Entering the house, Miranda greeted me while Ethan walked to me. I could see the excitement on his face as he held onto my hand. Morgan walked in and sat by my side but Ethan didn't look happy with this. He kept stamping his feet on the floor while Morgan smiled. "You look cute whenever you are angry," Morgan said. Those were the same words that he said to me when he didn't like me, so I asked for his reason for saying that. After explaining, I began to laugh. "Miranda," I called. Ethan's nanny walked to me and I thanked her for staying for the night with Ethan. "It's my pleasure," A tray was placed in front of me and Morgan fed me while Miranda took Ethan. Ethan screamed as he didn't want to be taken away but I needed some strength.
Tricia POV: I have been working all day in the house. Tears streamed down my face as I remembered that he was my brother. The cell phone rang, and I was about to pick it up. "Do not lay a finger on that phone," Alexander said barging out of the room. "Move away." I moved away with tears in my eyes, but still could see him look at me and I knew what it meant. Immediately, I walked to another room but not without spying on him. He fumbled his hands before picking up the phone. I could sense that he was nervous. After the call, he stared around and then picked up his personal phone. I stared although I didn't know what he was saying. All I knew was that he was scared. I left to continue what I was doing. "You daughter of a whore, come here," my brother called me. That was the way he normally called me since he knew that I wasn't birthed by his mother. I answered him politely as I had no one to stand for me. His girlfriend, who had always shown me her love, changed to me after
Tricia POV:"What do you me to do?" I asked him. He looked at me with a smile on his face. Staring at me, he reminded me of how his parents loved me more than him. He told me of how he always thought that I was his sister, but changed after knowing that I am not his sister. "I hated you from the beginning, but more now that I know who you are." I stayed mute, and my anger grew. If only I had a place to run to I would have. He blamed me for his parents' death. How am I to kill the people who cared for me? I am a harmless being, and doubt I could do such a thing. "What do you want me to do?" I asked silently. "Ah!" I allowed a small shout to escape my mouth as I felt his slap sting a bite on my cheek. He got up and left to his living room. I looked up as I imagined the reason he called me. My knees were hurting but I knew not to stand up. Alex was going to kill me if I ever got up. Soon, he walked out of the room with a folder. "I need your signature on this," he said. I l
Tricia POV I stood by the window the next day, looking at what was going on. It was expected for me to come out, but Alex had told me to stay inside. He was angry when he told me that, and I wondered why. Picking up his phone, I could see him angrily yell at someone, he was angry and I knew it. I walked back to my bed, happy. Thankfully, Cherry had left for her house early this morning which meant I could have some breathing space. I remembered how she was while we were in high school, she loved me like no other, and stopped my brother whenever he wanted to attack me but as they say, people change. Cherry suddenly changed to me during her final year. She was no longer loving and caring towards me. Everything I did was useless to her, and she reported every one of my moves to my brother who had just begun college. Our parents died when I was in my third year of college, and this made me sad. Alex stopped my education after their death, but I was lucky to be granted scholarshi
Tricia POV I sat in my room, a bit relieved from the pain in my knees. My phone was with me. I opened a picture we had once took as families. "Father!" I called touching our father's face. My heartbeat hastened as I remembered how his mother loved me. Now I understand the reason she loved me so much. I had no mother so it was paramount that she took care of me neither does she have a daughter so she was bound to love me. She wasn't like her son. "How could she love me, like that?" I asked myself, thinking of how we played often. Father had tried all he could to reduce how we played, but Mother always told him, "Since Alex doesn't want to play, I would do that with Tricia." My eyes grew tensed as I looked at how we stood. Alex by my side then mother holding Dad. My eyes flew to the clock and I let out a sigh of relief.Hours later, Alex was back with Cherry. He was drunk and staggered as he walked. Looking at me, he let out a spit to my face. "I hope you've prepared lunch," Ch
Tricia POV I woke up feeling elated. My thoughts went to my husband who I will be seeing for the first time. "Great goodness, make everything right." I prayed. With a song in my mouth, I went to take my bath."Hello, yes he is coming today... I will know who that small businessman is." I heard my brother say while walking to prepare our morning meal. He was on a call. My eyes widened as I got to know that he was speaking about my supposed husband. I can't tell why, but I am shocked. What if he was selling me to his rival? I care less about it. Anyway, my life was just getting better or worse, but the fact is that very soon I will be out of this home. I have spent my 22 years living here with two years of hardship without my parents. I walked to the kitchen and began preparing what I needed to make for breakfast. My supposed husband would be here at any time, and this made my leg tremble. "Tricia!" I heard my name been called and looked back. Thankfully, it was Alex and not his
Tricia's POV I stayed in the room patiently as instructed by my supposed husband. I heard all Cherry said about him and prayed that he would be nice to me and not give in to their demands. Soon, I drifted off and slept, but my sleep wasn't as sweet as I wanted, it was interrupted by a knock on my door. I got up with determination to talk back to whoever was at my door. By this, I would get to know if they fear my husband. Opening the door with my mouth opened to shout at whoever it was, I closed it when I saw the tall figure standing next to me. "Morgan!" I looked at his face. Why was he here? "Do you want anything?" "I just want to see your face." I stared at him, confusion written all over my face. Anyway, he was my husband, so I let out a smile. "I am tired." "You should be." He raised my head. "You should get back inside." Such a weird behavior. Did he only come to see my face? I guess I am no longer sleepy. It felt boring to stay in the room, guess it's because
Tricia's POV Getting out of the house felt like freedom for me as I giggled. Morgan's face turned cold to me as he tightened his grip on me. "Morgan, I have difficulty breathing," I complained. "Like I care," he said as a jeep drove to us. He opened the back door and shoved me in before walking to the front, beside the driver. My heart ached as I saw him sit. I questioned myself if he was the same person who behaved caring to me. "Boss, is she the one?" I heard his driver ask, and he nodded, giving some caution to his driver. The jeep moved for a long, and I felt my heart aggravated. We've been on the road for two hours, yet the jeep didn't stop. This made me disturbed. "Morgan! Where are we heading?" I managed to ask. "My house," he said without looking back. The jeep drove through a gate and he stepped out of the car. "Come down," he said. Walking into the house, I expected to see a nice background but instead, I saw some young men looking at me. Two of them had cigaret
Tricia POV I looked at Morgan as he smiled. He was driving and smiling. Although I trusted his skills, I still feared that we might have an accident. We got home safely, and I got out of the car; my sister walked to stabilize me as I walked. Entering the house, Miranda greeted me while Ethan walked to me.

Morgan POV Waking up the next morning, I dressed and walked out. "Boss, are you ready to race?" I heard Alonso's voice. "..." I didn't know what to say. John walked down and greeted, he was about to say something but stopped when his gaze met mine. "Is he coming along with us?" I heard him ask Alonso who nodded. "I won't," I said. They both looked at me like I said something wrong. "Morgan!" Alonso called. "We know that you still think of your wife, but I will tell you to trust your instinct; Tricia is going to be found." I smiled and walked to take my seat. "This isn't because of her, but I would like to race with her, not men," I said. They busted into laughter as I ended my statement. "Weren't you racing with us before Tricia came into your life?" John asked. This made me to laugh. Finally, I gave in, but I didn't have my sporting shoes, so I wore one of my old canvas along with one of my sporting outfits. An hour later, we were both home, and I went to take a showe
Morgan POV I saw Tricia's call but she called me once. "Is she home?" I asked walking down the stairs. "No," Miranda replied. It could only mean one thing, and that is she is either in a bad condition or needs my help. My mind went to the shop, and I looked at Ethan, whose birthday was today. "Let me try calling her," I said picking up the phone. After three calls with no response, I walked up the stairs. "Track down Tricia's phone," I said to Alex. Few minutes later, he told me that the last time her phone had signal was a hour ago. My heartbeat hastened as I thought of what could possibly have happened to my Tricia. "I would be in the house soon," I said. Looking at Ethan, I felt a force pushing me to look for his mother. I left to the car and drove to the group house where I met only Alex, Jack, John and Miguel. "How are you, Miguel?" I asked. "How is business?" "All is well," he replied. I asked for the reason he was in the house and not with Camila. "Nothing," he
Tricia POV It was Ethan's one-year birthday. I kissed my son as I sang a birthday song for him. Ethan kept smiling as he stood. He looked at Miranda, who wasn't far, then looked to another side but kept looking, and I wondered what it was. "Ethan, it's your birthday," I said trying to make him concentrate on his face. He let out a scream of excitement looking at my back. I turned to see who it was, it was my husband. Ethan ran to his father although he wasn't stable. Anytime he fell, we laughed, and he also did the same thing. Morgan raised him up into his arms while he pointed to his cake. Miranda stood there smiling. "Alright, today is your birthday," Morgan said dropping him beside his cake. We sang joyfully while Ethan tried eating the cake. Next, we took a picture with him, and the workers also did. Finally, his nanny took a picture with him. Ethan screamed when it was taken away and I held him, trying to convince him that the cake would be brought soon. Soon, Nikita
Morgan POV It was another day, my plans were settled and I watched everything that was unfolding. I was still at home as the time I was to resume would be later. Tricia walked down, dressed, she was going to the complex. "Hey, honey," I said giving her a peck on her cheek. "Hi, Babe," she said. This was something that I didn't like calling on a normal day but I guess as they say, Love changes people. My love for Tricia can't be quenched. We walked to Ethan who smiled on seeing us. After touching his cheek, I walked away. I felt like he was calling out to me but I had an important business to do. Getting to the organization, everyone began to panic. A conference was called and everyone showed their panic. "Our secret has been leaked. Anyone who has done this should kindly signify and leave." I was surprised by how dull they were. "Haven't they been betrayed before? How can a betrayal say that they betrayed their trust?" I asked myself thoughtfully. Later, they found no o
Alex POV Cherry smiled looking at me as we sat together in my living room. We were now a married couple. I watched as she giggled. "I have a plan," I said and she turned to look at me. "I wish to discuss it with my wife." She giggled as I ended my statement then got up, placed her hand on my shoulder, then said, "What does my darling husband want to say to me?" Her words made me smile as I looked at her beautiful eyes. "I have been thinking of something," I began. "Since this is my father's house I plan that I should move into my house." "And then?" She asked. "We can sell or rent out this house," Cherry sighed deeply and asked if I had a house. "I bought one some time ago with the money that Morgan gave me," I said. "But it is under renovation." Cherry smiled and hugged me. "My body is all yours," she said and I smiled. "We've done this ever since." I walked to lock the door and walked to kiss Cherry. Just as I was about to penetrate her, she moved me away covering he
Tricia POV It has been three weeks since our last meeting, and finally, it was the day of my sibling's marriage. I got up early and joyfully and wanted to take Ethan's bath, but checking the time, I saw that I woke up quite early. "I am so excited," I said, hitting my head. Lying back on the bed, I tried to change some sleep but couldn't as my mind kept thinking of my sibling's marriage. My mind went to Miguel's marriage. It was small, nothing compared to his engagement party, but I was sure that my sibling's marriage would be different with Morgan involved. I looked at my darling husband who was very much still asleep. I felt like touching his handsome face but that would mean disturbing his sleep. Each time I tried to catch a sleep, all that came to my mind was my sibling's marriage. Suddenly, I saw Morgan sit up. I also sat up as he checked the time on his phone. "When did you wake up?" He asked me. "While you were asleep," I replied and told him the time. "That is qui
Morgan POV I laid Tricia's head on my lap. "We should be cool. Tomorrow is our group meeting, and I will be hosting it," I said. "What would you like us to take?" She asked. I understood what she meant by that but it wasn't necessary that someone eats. "What are you expecting tomorrow?" I asked her. "My siblings," she said giggling like a child. ... The next morning, I woke up to see Tricia staring into my face. I rolled her to the other side and kissed her passionately. Our passionate moment was short-lived as Ethan began to weep. "I should get to him," Tricia said. "Taken your bath?" I asked her and she nodded. She took Ethan to bath, and after, I walked to take my bath. "Morgan!" Tricia called when I was done dressing. "What should I tell Nikita to make for the group?" "Nothing," I said then gave her a peck. "We should only take our breakfast, it's not the annual group meeting." She nodded as I ended my speech. "Let's go out for a race," "But Ethan," she tried c
Morgan POV A week passed, and I sat with my lovely wife, discussing my plans for the day. "You said that you will take care of them, but how?" She asked. "Like always," I said. She shook her head and smiled. "Tell me, Mr. Loyd is alive," she said. I stared at her, not knowing what to say. I couldn't lie to her, but why did she ask this question? "I checked your phone last night and heard you telling Bernard how to handle him," she said. "Yes, he is," I said. She smiled and held firmly to my hand. "The old man will die soon and Bernard will be free from his trouble," "And Alexander Loyd?" I asked. She smiled covering her mouth. "Remember telling me not to involve him," she said. "I adhered to your advice." I held onto her hands romantically. "One hell of a mission that I got involved in was my last mission," I said. "Your behavior scared the hell out of me." Tricia wore a smirk as she watched me speak. "I only did that as my fear was greater than my faith in your m
