Tricia POV We continued walking home, and my head was filled with what to make Christmas look like for Paulina. Christmas is just around the corner. "Paulina!" I called when we were in the house. With a smile on her wrinkled face, Paulina told me to drop the two nylons of what I was holding. "We would speak later," she said. "As of now, I am famished." I nodded obeying her. My stomach also felt empty. I placed the nylons down and brought out the packs. "You haven't been to that restaurant," the old woman said, and I nodded. "They have the top-notch delicacy in this society." I nodded, thinking of how the woman didn't allow herself to melt in the sorrow of her dead family. Well, she said it has been years. She was probably still younger than this. "It's ready," I said when I was done. "I should get us water." She said. "Let me get it," I said, but she refused. I waited for her until she brought two cups of water. "Let's eat," she said pulling out a chair for herself.
Morgan POV I sat in my bedroom thinking about my life. What a smart move Tricia made! She made me fall in love with her, then deserted me. After all, I foolishly allowed myself to fall in love the second time. "Am I stupid?" I asked myself. My men were still searching for her, but she was nowhere to be found. "Boss," I heard someone knock on my door, and my face frowned. I forgot to lock the door downstairs. "Who is that?" I asked walking to the door. It was Drake, he came to check on me. "Morgan, you haven't been out. Do you still go out to race?" He asked. "To keep fit. You are still the ruthless man I know, but your love for Tricia has weighed you down." I smiled, looking at Drake who I thought would easily fall in love. Here, he is, standing strong. "You shouldn't worry about me," I said. Drake thought for a while before looking at me. "We should make the TV broadcast that we are looking for her," he said. I wasn't thinking of that, and neither did the politicians
Morgan POV I looked at all of them for some time, then sat up straight. "Let's first talk about my wife," they all looked at me, and Jack stared at me, he wore a smirk on his face, and I understood his reason. I smiled at him and then looked at Alonso. "Can you let us know who is going before we talk about Tricia?" Drake asked. I smiled, looking at Drake, and the other men nodded. "The one who will be given freedom today," I said. "It has been a long time I have given freedom." "Yes, we know," they chorused, even Drake who didn't see the last freedom. I covered my face with my hand. It's been a long time since I have thought of anyone apart from Tricia. "Morgan!" Johnny called seeing that I didn't talk. "It's a promise, Tricia will be found." "I am not sad," I said looking at each one of them. "It's just that I haven't thought of anyone for a long while apart from Tricia." They all nodded and looked at me. "The one leaving here is Bernard," I said. Bernard wore a not
Morgan POV I was back home, after refusing to stay with them in the house. I wanted peace, a place where I could think, and I couldn't get it staying with them. I know they want good for me, but their good isn't necessary at this moment. If the person Max found isn't Tricia, I would go out with them to look for Tricia. I have thought of Tricia being with her stepbrother and sent people to check, but I was met with a negative response. "Selena," My heartbeat hastened as I remembered that she was back. If Selena could get Tricia, then I am doomed. "Hi Morgan," I heard as my door opened. It was the bitch I just thought about, Selena. She came with another lady. "What do you want?" I asked her. "Well, I guess that isn't a way to greet," the other lady said. "I'm Theresa, by name." "And who cares to know about your name?" I asked. Both ladies smiled, and Selena moved closer to me. "Your wife is gone, so I am now your wife," she said. I looked at them, and gave an evil laught

Selena POV Morgan can try whatever he wants, but if I have Theresa on my side, we would defeat him. But here I am, my body aching from the things I did. "Morgan, I need some rest," I said, and he gave me a murderous eyes. I knew that if care wasn't taken, he would slap my cheek again, so I ran to the kitchen. How did I forget that I can fight, maybe it's because I love this man. I began cooking what we all would eat as breakfast. "This is perfect," I said when I was done, my feet were trembling and I felt weak. I hope this will be the last task for me to do. I need to rest. Going to the living room, I was met with a shock of my life. Theresa was speaking, and laughing with Morgan. I became bitter seeing how she was speaking with Morgan. "Theresa!" I called, and she got up. "Yes, Selena," she said. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Communicating," she said. "Whose side are you on?" I asked. "Yours of course," she said. "But you do not hate him, neither should I." "You c
Morgan POV What I got from Theresa was enough for me, and I could see in her eyes that she was telling the truth. I knew what Selena was trying to do. Selena is a fool, but Theresa isn't. In Selena, I could see a use-and-dump situation. She was thinking of using Theresa to get to me, after which, she would dump her. "What side are you on?" I asked. "I do not know," she said. Her eyes were speaking the truth. She didn't know what side to be on. "I am grateful that Selena brought me out from the slum," she said. "I want to get more fighting power." "You agree that you can't fight with me," I said. "Yes," she said, bowing her head. Selena got up to her feet and looked at Theresa. "No, you can't say that," Selena screamed. "This day isn't over yet, but you want to give up? Remember, we are here together." I could see her gritting onto her teeth angrily. "We are two. We can overcome," Selena said. "That is where the issue is," Theresa said. "Two against one is cheating." S
Tricia POV I woke up early in the morning and saw Paulina in my room. I have told her not to do this. "Good morning, Paulina," I said sitting up. "I should brush my teeth." "Daughter, that can wait," she said with urgency in her tone. I looked worriedly at her, it was not clear, but her face. I heard a snore. "Who is here?" I asked. "Sarah," she said, and my eyes widened. "Has she seen my face?" I asked, and Paulina shook her head. "Why did you bring her here?" I asked. "Calm down," Paulina said, worriedly. I calmed my nerves down and took in a deep breath. "I am listening," she said. She looked at me, then nodded, looking out. "Yesterday, while I was coming back from my work in the evening," she said. "I felt someone following me, so I hastened my footsteps." She took a deep breath, then continued, "After entering the house, I bolted the door and looked through the small hole; the person had a mask and wore a dark cloth." "He looked at the door and wrote some things
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
Morgan POV "We know nothing about it," A worker said. Tricia walked down with Ethan and I told them to carry the lady who was on the floor into my car. I walked to the car with Tricia and drove to the nearest clinic. "What happened to her?" I asked the doctor after everything was done. "She is in good health now," "What happened?" I asked. The doctor told me to come to his office, and I accepted and told Tricia to wait for me. In the doctor's office, I looked around before taking my seat. "Who are you to her, Mr. Bliss?" "Her Boss," I replied. "Do you know her family?" He asked. "No, I don't," I said. He took a deep breath staring at the wall. "What happened to her?" I asked and the doctor sighed before looking at me. "She had an abortion and lost her womb...," he kept tapping his hands. "She needs some blood before she could walk." I wore an evil smile and told the doctor that I would be back soon. I walked to Tricia and explained the situation. "She can't work w
Morgan POV The following morning, I woke up with a smile on my face as I looked at the morning sky. "I should see if I can take my bath here," I said to myself. Getting to the bathroom, I saw it neatly arranged and then looked at the bed. We were paired to stay three in a room as they didn't have enough room. I slept on the bed with Alonso while Drake slept on the floor. Drake had pleaded with me last night to let him sleep with me, so Johnny exchanged with Drake. Six people came with me so we weren't much. "Hey, where is Drake?" I asked as I didn't see older Drake on the floor. Alonso yawned, sitting up, and replied, "Maybe he has gone out." I nodded and went into the bathroom. After taking my bath, I took a deep shirt and trouser which I brought. None of my men brought along with them any clothes, they would need to put on the same wear after taking their bath. Alonso walked into the bathroom while I did my button. Drake walked in with a tray and greeted. "Good morning, Bo
Morgan POV Days later, I was packing up for my trip. I didn't need anything, but it could be that I will stay there long. I saw the door move and knew that it was Tricia, but I didn't want to open it for her. "If she proves to be a hindrance to my mission, then it's best that I don't allow her in," I said and looked around. Satisfied with what I had packed, I pulled my bag on and then walked to the door. "Morgan, why do you treat me as nothing?" She asked when I got out. "Take care of Ethan and yourself," I said. That being said, I walked away. Getting down, I saw Ethan smile when he saw me and walked to him. I gave him a peck on the head. "Take care of yourself and your mother," I knew that it sounded funny, telling a baby to take care of his mother but my heart felt like saying that. Stepping out, I saw the jeep and some men standing by. "Good morning, Boss," they chorused and I only waved. They were not participating in the mission with me but were to drop me in fron
Morgan POV We watched as Alex took his sit beside Cherry, who was blushing. The ceremony began with them holding hands. I had told the older Drake that it mustn't be a long ceremony. It should be short but enjoyable. Almost all of us were present. Bam petty, Amsterdam, and Bernard were present. I kept watching the ceremony, Alex was a sure man. He raised Cherry up like it was nothing. I kept thinking of how it would have been if I carried out my revenge plan of murdering Alex. Anyway, it was all thanks to Cherry that I didn't kill Alex. I smiled, remembering how she shouted that she loved Alex on her last visit to the prison. "Morgan!" Tricia called giving me a slight tap. It was only then that I discovered that my attention wasn't on what was going on. An old lady walked in and took a seat. I looked at Tricia and then pointed to the older lady. "We made this strictly by invitation and the only people we invited were our team members and..." I was saying when Tricia placed
