Morgan's POV:An hour later, I was calm enough to leave my room. Dante was still sticking around. He paced the floors of the hall and paused when we stepped out. "Where's Sabrina?" I asked.."She left. Something urgent came up." "Aren't you leaving?" I asked him noting that day was beginning to break. The only person I wanted to be around with was Winston and no one else. "If you have nothing else to do, leave.""I just want to know if you're alright.""I'm fine. As you can see." Came my reply. "Morgan,""She said she's fine. Why is it so hard for you to simply understand?" Winston snapped at him."I wasn't talking to you man." Dante replied. "In fine. You can leave now." "I'll be back." He said as he turned to leave. Once he was gone, I exhaled a breath of relief."Are you alright?" Winston held my arm and turned me to face him. "I should be asking you." I said to him touching his face where Dante has punched him . "I'm sorry for this.""It's fine. It can heal and go away. But
Morgan's POVI rinsed my face and mouth and returned to my room.I felt exhausted. Like a ton of weights were tied to my legs and dragged me down to the ground. I slumped over the bed, my body trembling from all that had just happened. Winston. He's acting strange. And it's funny to me because he's the one that I trust. He's always been there for me. He's never pushed me, not once.But today... touched my neck and sighed. I have no idea what got into him. He can't have been drugging me. He wouldn't. There was no way someone like that would have been drugging me. He said he'd never do anything to hurt me. He'll always be with me through thick and thin. That loving me was the best thing that had happened to me in his entire life. A man that loves me even though I had kids for another man. Even though I had nothing in my name.The perfect man... Who I had thought too perfect to be truly perfect. Was it all a fake?. He's a doctor and things like that are prone to be found in his ho
Morgan's POVMy head exploded with a headache. That was the first thing I noticed. I groaned deeply and opened my eyes. It was dark in the room, and I was alone. I sat up from the bed, my heart beating frantically in my chest. I passed out....or rather he drugged me. I threw the covers off my body. He had tucked me in, lie I was a kid or something. I felt sick to my stomach, a deep sense of betrayal lodged into my belly. Scrambling for my phone, I almost screamed when I saw the time. I had been out for seven hours. My blood ran cold. With shaky hands, I scrolled until I got to Sabrina's number. "Hey." I called keeping the tremor away from my voice. "Morgan." She sounded tired so I went straight to the point."I'm coming home." I said to her. "What?""Immediately. I'm coming home now Rina.""No you can't!" She said her voice a bit risen. "I'm sorry for shouting but Morgan you can't come home. Not now.""Why?" Silence. "Rina what's wrong?""You just can't okay. Not now..." She pa
Sabrina's POV"Open the freaking door Rina!!" My mum yelled from outside repeatedly banging on my door. I couldn't bring myself to look her in the eye, to see her, talk to her. "Sabrina!""Go away mum." I said rubbing my hands on my face. The thudding stopped before she hit the spot one final time before it all went silent. I stared at my hands in front of me as they shook. My breathing was uneven, as my chest rose and fell. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. She has denied killing dad, but was it true? Did she tell me a lie or was she telling the truth? I couldn't tell. Not only had she turned the study upside down, but she had also turned the entire house upside down, searching for daddy's will. I was fifty percent sure that she didn't just want to come into my room and scold me. Who knows, if I had let her in, she wouldn't have turned my room including my private set up upside down in search of the will of the man she claimed to love. If she did love him, why then wasn't she mour
Dante's POVI watched as Morgan walked out of the station without sparing neither Winston nor I a glance. Something was up with her. Something she didn't feel comfortable telling me. Or maybe something she didn't want to tell anybody. "Seems like she's pissed at you." I said to Winston as he appeared beside me after Morgan had left. He didn't reply but just stared at the taxi she boarded. "Why do I feel like she has seen through your fake life and the mask of lies you've been putting on.""Believe what you want to." He said before turning to leave. He stopped turning to face me. "I saw the both of you talking before I came, did she perhaps..." He paused. "Perhaps tell me where she was going?" I finished the sentence for him. "Yes. Did she?""And why do you care." He turned to face me. "Do you really want to do this right now man? We don't even know what she's going through right now. She won't say, we won't speak to me about it and you want to fight me when things are as messed up
OneMORGAN'S POV:Everything was perfectly set. The dishes were all in their right places. I had even purchased a new seat of plates and cutlery just for this dinner. I had cooked his favourite dish and even included some intercontinental dishes that embraced both his culture and mine. I made sure to pour my heart into this dinner.I bought scented candles of different scents and placed them at different angles. My husband's favourite scent was sunlight.I never understood how sunlight could have a scent but to my greatest surprise, it existed in the market.For three years now, I had been married to Dante Fontaine, the love of my life.Where Dante was to sit, I lit a sunlight scented candelabra, each by his side. While on both sides of where I sat, I lit hibiscus scented candelabra. And for the one in the middle of the table, I lit a candelabra consisting of three sunlight scented candles and three hibiscus scented candles.At the door, I lit the exact same combination as I did for
Two:MORGAN'S POV:My highschool friend that had gone missing when we were about to get into college, had reappeared just like she had vanished, had just walked into my house with my husband and was standing right in front of me."Nova..." I spoke not knowing what to say to my long time friend."Morgan..." She responded, smiling brightly. "Hi.""Hello." I said to her, the air tensed and awkward."I found her stuck and stranded while I was coming home and since it was Nova, I had to bring her back home." Dante said to me avoiding my gaze.Oh. That was why he came back with her. How foolish of Me to think otherwise."Anna!" He called to one of the maids in the living room. "Give her a room, he said pointing to Nova. " Make sure everything that she needs, gets to her." He said to the maid."Yes Sir." She said bowing. Then she led Nova out to go get her a room while I watched them until they disappeared from sight. Then I turned my attention to Dante."You weren't picking my calls neither
ThreeMORGAN'S POV:"Get out of my house." He repeated.I stood from the floor I was sitting on, the tears breaking free. What was the meaning of all this? Divorce, now being thrown out of the house?"Are you now throwing me out of the house?" I asked Dante my words muffled with tears."We are divorced." He said sending a painful jab to my heart. "How then can we live together?" He asked giving me a pouting look."Fine." I responded. "I will leave." I said making to move to the bedroom to pack up my things. He blocked my path."And where do you think you are going to?" He asked looking inquisitively at me."To pack up and leave." I said not looking at his face."I don't think that would be necessary." He said to me shaking his head.Was he serious or was he pulling my legs?"You want me to leave with just the clothes on my back?" I asked surprised that he could do such a thing."Yes." He shrugged not bothered at all. "Dante..." I said finding it hard to believe that the man I had bee

I said to him touching his face where Dante has punched him . "I'm sorry for this.""It's fine. It can heal and go away. But
Sabrina's POV "I don't trust him." Dante said once we were outside leaving. Just as if he had been reading my mind and was able to say what I was about to. I nodded at him. "Me too." I exhaled. "I don't trust him." He seems off but I knew Morgan couldn't see it–couldn't sense it. She saw him as the boat that sailed her from the turbulent sea to safety and I didn't want to take that from her. But what if Winston were to cause her more harm than the turbulent sea? "She'd sick." Dante said. "She looks sick like..." He exhaled. "Something is wrong with her. She's not okay. We need to do something." "Like what?" I met his gaze. "Why should we do? Morgan is not one to back off because of talks. We need evidence of these things we suspect. True evidence." My phone began to buzz. "Mum?" "Come home right now!" Her voice was fidgety, shaking to the core. "What's wrong?" I asked getting on my feet. "Immediately Rina. There's trouble." Hanging up, I turned to Dante. "There se
Morgan's POV:"You're up." I looked to my right to find Sabrina seated there. She looked exhausted to say the least. "I guess so." I said. "Don't worry. The door's locked. None of them will disturb you."None of who? Uh, right. Winston and Dante. "Is Winston okay?" I asked. Sabrina tilted her head to the side looking at me from head to toe. When she didn't reply, I slowly shook my head, demanding an explanation. "Is anything wrong?..." But I had barely finished the sentence when the news came crashing in me like a boulder. The screech I heard in my ears that was my own voice screaming without realizing it. "Morgan..." In that voice, I could hear the struggle to keep it cool, to keep it together... To play the big sister. "Morgan?!" I but down on my trembling lip trying to swallow. Impossible with the sobs taking inside of me so I just let it all out, wailing my eyes out. The void was too hollow. So deep and empty that I could call out and hear my voice bounce off the walls of
Dante's POV"Get your hands away from her." I hissed at Winston, hitting his hands off. He exhaled with a scoff before fully facing me."What's your problem?" He spat in disgust and anger. I didn't care in the least bit. I am not scared of him neither was I ever. "Like hell you don't know." I spat back, coming to stand in between him and Morgan. "You would not lay a finger on her. Not while I'm here." He raised a brow at me, stepping back a little before smiling like a maniac. Just as the smile appeared, it disappears as he stepped forward, covering the steps that he had taken back. "You won't let me lay a finger on her..." He repeated cocking his head like a complete nut job. What the hell was this guy? "Why? You think I'm poison for her? Bad luck?" I walked up to him, our faces barely an inch away from each other. "Mmm. You're bad luck. You're poison for her.""Proof?" He asked with a cocky grin before his eyes widened as he shrugged, putting his hands in his pocket. "The only ba
Morgan's POV"What the fuck?!" Winston yelled, anger swirling in his eyes, but he didn't move away from me just like at the doctor's dinner party when that girl had caught us kissing on the rooftop. But Dante didn't even let him speak anymore. Before I could breath or even utter a word, Dante had pulled Winston away from me and began punching him in the face. "Shit Dante?!?" I yelled in panic, jumping down from the table. But that didn't stop him from punching Winston. Winston on the bed the hand just laid there watching Dante mercilessly hit him. God I came let things happen. "Get off him Dante! Stop this madness! Dante! ..."Shit shit shit! How much more would this man embarrass me?! I swore I heard a crack as his fist collided with Winston's jaw. Looking around trying to find something, anything that would get him off Winston. Looking around,I spotted a mop stick I hadn't seen tucked away in a corner. Picking it up, I smacked it into the back of Dante's head, masking him pause
