Tricia POV I continued looking at my husband, he looked more cute whenever we kissed. Looking at my body, I felt a little shy because I already gained weight. "Do I look bigger?" I asked silently but could see a smile play on Morgan's face. It made me remember all the times he avoided my questions so I just laid my head on his shoulder. "You are beautiful the way you are," he whispered. We heard a person whistle and looked up. It was Cherry. I smiled, looking at her, and could see that Ethan wished to be with his Aunt. Miranda passed him to Cherry. "It's been great, today," Morgan said. "Those moves, where did you learn them from, Miguel?" Miguel looked at his wife, then smiled, looking at us. "Camila!" I called but he shook his head. "Her uncle," he said. Camila blushed as he said this. Minutes later, Morgan ended the meeting. "Before I go, I would like to apologize to someone," he said. He called on Alonso to get up and began to apologize. "I am sorry for what happen
Tricia POV While Morgan slept quietly, I heard Drake and Theresa, it felt like they were having fun. This made me feel the urge, but Morgan was asleep. I smiled and prayed that nothing would come between them. As I closed my eyes to sleep, I felt Morgan gaze into my soul. I opened my eyes and saw him staring into my eyes. This made me shy. "There isn't a need to show your shyness," he said then looked to the door. "I didn't expect those children to sleep in the same room." "We can take drastic measures," I said. "How?" He asked. "Let's go check on them," I said. Taking a deep breath, Morgan got up from the bed with me, and we left for the room Theresa was in. The door was still open, as we advised. "Hello," I called out. I heard the bed creak like it had turned over. No one came out and I knew that they were pretending to be asleep. Morgan told them to remember the rules he laid down and only then did they reply. We left to our room minutes later. When the day was getti
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

I called but he shook his head. "Her uncle," he said. Camila blushed as he said this. Minutes later, Morgan ended the meeting. "Before I go, I would like to apologize to someone," he said. He called on Alonso to get up and began to apologize. "I am sorry for what happen
Morgan POV The following morning, I woke up not seeing Tricia on the bed. A smile crossed my face as I didn't also see Ethan in his carrier. I went to take my bath then walked down when I was done dressing. "Would you like to go on a run with me?" I asked. Placing Ethan on the couch, she folded her hands. "Is that a greeting?" She asked. I took a deep breath and walked to kiss her. "Good morning," I said. I asked again if she wanted to go out with me. "Not yet," she said. "No one will be home with Ethan, you can go." I nodded and opened the door, after that, I jogged out. It took me an hour as I was the only one racing and jogged, I had the opportunity to run as long as I could and come back. Getting home, Tricia welcomed me with a kiss. Luckily, she wasn't holding Ethan. The doorbell rang, and Ethan's nanny walked in. Ethan struggled with us not to give him to his nanny, but we did. "Where should I stay?" She asked. "Anywhere," Tricia said and I nodded. The cook also
Morgan POV I sat watching the ball. The nanny walked down with Ethan, and she asked for the whereabouts of Tricia. Ethan sucked his tongue and this made me smile. "Give him to me," I said. After that, I asked her what best she would like for us to call her, and I let her leave. I felt bored at home; Ethan couldn't keep me company as he was a baby. I only did the least I could do to Ethan, his smiles made me remember my younger days. "Cute one," I called, touching his cheek, and he smiled. He looked around and I knew it was for his mother. "She should be back in the evening," I said to Ethan, who burst into tears. He didn't keep quiet although I sang. I couldn't read his mind, so I did the little I could do, there was no lady in the house, and I didn't want to disturb Tricia. I felt pained remembering our time in the past when I didn't allow her to work and when I did, it was disastrous. Looking at Ethan, I gave him a peck and kissed his forehead before I went to prepar
Morgan POV I was woken by a kiss from Tricia. "Good morning," I said sitting up. "Good morning, love," Tricia said giving me a peck on my forehead. She asked me when we would be going out for our morning exercise. "Ethan?" I asked. "He just slept," she said. I nodded and got up, dashed into the bathroom to take my bath. Done with my bath, I met Tricia's gaze on my abs. "Done looking?" I asked. She gave me a surprise look and then got up. "Do not forget what we would do today," she said, her hands tracing down my chest. "You should get dressed." She walked to the carrier and smiled, looking at Ethan who was fast asleep. Getting down, I saw the dining table prepared. Tricia sat with her eyes glued to her phone. I placed my hand in my pocket and walked towards her. "Are you going to eat?" I asked in a whisper, startling her. "Waiting for you," she said. With a nod, I took my seat. After eating, she asked of Ethan. "Let's go and see if he is awake," I said. We headed
Tricia POV "I didn't like them, then, but now they are my friends," I said. I looked at Ethan, who smiled, looking at my face. Some minutes later, I walked down with Ethan in my hand. Morgan was engrossed in his phone discussion so I walked to take my sit beside him. His calm demeanor made me smile. After the call, he turned to me and I saw a glow in his eyes. Our friends had left so it was only Morgan and I. The glow in his eyes made me smile, and he asked if I had fed Ethan. "Tomorrow, the two ladies should be here," he said. I wondered what ladies he was speaking about, but remembered about the nanny test. Morgan pulled me to himself and cupped my cheek. Ethan looked at our faces and then began to weep, his weeping giving me no choice but to get up. "Now, as a member of the group, I would like to test your moves," I heard him say. "What moves?" I asked him. "Don't act like you don't know," he said. "I... haven't.... had... enough... training...," I stammered moving back
Tricia POV I thought of my father, he was wrong, yes. Never would I expect that he could kill anyone, but he did. Not only did he kill Morgan's friend, but also my mother. He might have been a spy. How did the one-night sex with my mother happen? Also, how did he get to the hospital she was taken to? I didn't know that tears had begun to fall from my eyes until Morgan used his hand to clean my eyes; I immediately hugged Morgan. "Easy," he said raising my chin up. "Let me know what worries you." I shook my head, remembering that he told me to forget about my father. He held me tight to himself and we walked up the stairs. Waking the next day, I let out a sigh. "Good morning," I heard Morgan's voice as he gave me a morning kiss. A smile crossed my lips as I hugged him. He drew the curtains open, making the room bright. I asked if he had gone out to race. "I want us to go together," he said, giving me a peck on the lip. "Oh no, who is going to stay with Ethan?" I cried out.
Tricia POV "Can't I see you?" He asked. I walked to the bed, and he joined. "Do not touch me," I said. He looked at me like he was about to devour my body but later gave me a peck. "I will go out after getting the documents," he said. I watched as he left to get a file. Afterward, he left. A smile was on my lip as I watched him close the door, I wasn't ready for his romantic gesture. I got dressed and walked out of the room. "Morgan!" I called, noticing how he got busy. He paused what he was doing and gave me a faint smile before returning his gaze to the paperwork he had in front of him. "Where is Ethan?" I asked. "With Theresa," he said as he continued what he was doing. His behavior wasn't strange to me, and I knew that he wasn't angry with me; he was just busy. "Alright," I said and walked to look for Theresa. There, I saw Theresa seated on the swing. The swing wasn't moving but she was saying some words to Ethan. "Hi, Theresa," I said, placing a hand on the stand
Tricia POV Waking up the following morning, I placed a call to Cherry, informing her that we were back. After the call, I looked at the side, but didn't see Morgan but Ethan made a sound. I went to the baby carrier and discovered that Ethan was still in his last day's wear. Carrying his, I fed him and then gave him a nice bath. I looked around when I entered the room. "Where are you, Morgan?" I asked myself thinking of walking down to search for him. My eyes went straight to a table. Morgan always kept his phone there, but it wasn't there. I smiled, knowing that he went out sporting. Done dressing Ethan, I walked down the stairs and took my seat. I remembered what happened the last day and smiled knowing that Drake and Theresa wished to further their education. "A good start," I said, playing with Ethan. Soon, the door opened and Morgan walked in. "Good morning, love," he said giving me a peck. I smiled and told him to get a shower. Theresa also walked in and greeted; afte
