UNKNOWN POV

"Why me?!" Cammy's daughter screeched shaking her legs and folding her arms while pouting.

"Come on sweetheart..." Cammy started but her daughter wasn't having any of it. She got up from the seat she had been shuffling her leg wanting to go into her room, when she knocked down a cup from the dinning table. Looking at the cup for some time, she began throwing all the plates on the dinning table down. "Sweetheart listen..." Cammy tried to calm her down but she wasn't having any of it.

"Why me?" She screamed at her mother who had gotten on her feet to stop her, tossing more and more plates to the floor. "Why do I have to be the bait? The scape goat?" When cammy didn't reply, her daughter threw a cup at the wall, screaming.

"Aren't you going to do something about her?" Cammy's voice rose an octave as she questioned her son who sat at the table eating macarons while watching his sister throw tantrums.

He shook his head. "Let her enjoy herself." He said with a smile.

  • She's back   you always hated me

    Morgan's POVSomething cold was dropping on me, in droplets every now and then. No matter how I moved, my feet and hands wouldn't comply. They seemed to be obeying a force greater than me. I was cold, my entire body ached, it was all dark. Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Someone seemed to be screaming. But I couldn't comply, couldn't bring myself to open my eyes. Then I began to fall into a dark and deep tunnel, head first. Move your arms! The same voice in my head screamed but I couldn't. The force holding my feet and hands were far stronger and seemed to be digging into my wrists, causing pain to splutter through me. I couldn't die with my twins. That's right! My twins... Where were they? I had to find who had kidnapped them, had to find and rescue them. Had to live with them, tell them their father. I couldn't die here. Or was this just my inner motivation while I was falling rapidly towards my death? Was I really going to die here? Struggling more and more against the force ho

    Morgan's POV"Keep your hands up and stay right where you are!" The police ordered rushing into the building. There on the floor, all I could see was Miranda crying her eyes out with Cole still unmoving. No matter how much I wriggled, the bonds couldn't come loose. Nova sprouted to her feet making to run when a lot of lasers pointed at her making her freeze. "Hands above your head!" She obeyed. Unconsciousness tried to take over from the force of the metal edge of the seat digging into the back of my neck, together with how tight the bonds were now that I was head first on the floor. "Morgan!" In a flash, hands were all over me trying to loosen the bonds from my hands. They had barely finished when I rushed to my kids only to be stopped by the paramedics that had just rushed in. "I'm sorry ma'am we have to rush them to the hospital.""And I'm their mother!" I yelled trying to get past them, a jab finding my heart with a closer look at Cole. He looked dead. "Mummy..."

    Sabrina's POVFor a complete ten minutes, I sat in my car, thinking about nothing and everything at the same time. I couldn't bring myself to walk into that hospital and see Morgan in so much pain and agony, but I had to do it anyway. I paused my walk as I saw her and Dante on the bench outside the OR with her fast asleep on his shoulder. She looked just as worried as she was when awake as she did while in her sleep. Dante's eyes turned to me as of sensing my presence. "How did it go?" "As planned. She's been taking care of. ""And you?""And me what?" I exhaled walking towards them, getting a clearer view of Morgan now I was close by."When are you going to come clean?" Before I could respond, he added. "And you know what I'm talking about Sabrina. I know you're hiding something. we both know that." I nodded in response. "I know.""So?""Soon.""Soon could be anytime." He remarked. "Morgan has been through a lot and I hope that what's ever it is you're hiding wouldn't cause her a

  • She's back   I'm sorry

    Morgan's POVBlinking slowly, I realized I had been out for some time. Dante was no where to be found and the hospital suddenly felt too quiet for a hospital. Gooseflesh popped out all over my skin as if a cold wind had blown all over me. The sound of a door opened, diverting my eyes in it's direction to see Winston walking out of it with a doctor and some nurses. I had barely gathered enough strength to stand when he squatted before me hugging me tightly. There was something like reassurance and... Sadness in his hug. When he pulled away, he jet my eyes with some gloom that my heart began to pound."I'm sorry." He said. His voice sounding like someone who had been shouting. "Sorry...? For what?" He lowered his head, avoiding my gaze. I got up from the seat looking over the medical practitioners who all had looks of dismay on their faces. "What's going on?" I asked with panic evident in my voice. Winston got up, taking my hands in his. "I tried all I could. We tried.""No..."I whi

  • She's back   the will

    Sabrina's POV As I sat turning the stylus in my had over and over again, the happenings of the past eight days replayed in my memory like a screen in a cinema. The sharp piercing straight to my heart as I watched from the glass in the door as Morgan hugged her daughter crying bitterly. That scene alone was the stamp on all that had been happening around me. Cole was really dead, and I didn't see it coming, neither could I do anything to stop it.Perhaps, if I had found them sooner. If I wasn't so scared to find out. If only I had been bold. That was why I had been apologizing. I would have been able to stop all of this, had I known earlier. A knock sounded on my sore, framing my focus back to the gate that I was in the office. "Yes?"Nora poked her head through the door. "The hearing is in twenty minutes." She announced to which I nodded.I had sued Nova for the kidnapping of the kids and the murder of my Dad. I wasn't sure if the latter but all my instincts pointed their fingers a

  • She's back   twin father

    Morgan's POVI smiled as Miranda walked out if the car, waving at me as she headed into the school. Yesterday, I had heard her tell her classmates, who were Cole's friends that her brother had travelled because he wanted to be a billionaire and couldn't handle how dumb they were.It brought the years back but I smiled when she spotted me and came running. It was best for her, because I couldn't see how I could break the news to a four year old that her twin brother was dead and his funeral was in two weeks. Driving back to the apartment I had rented when Miranda and I had been discharged from the hospital a week ago, I opened the door to find the maid that had been coming from time to time inside making food and some side dishes while stocking them into the fridge. I wanted a maid and she had popped up one of the days, so I employed her. I couldn't stomach visitors, especially sympathetic ones and I hadn't told anyone where I had moved to. Not even Sabrina. "The clothes arrived few

    Morgan's POVI stared at him while he waited for me to say something. "My father?" I repeated, more to myself than to him. I was at my father's funeral only for his exact look alike to show up, calling himself my father. "I think you should leave." I voiced out going to sit back down on the seat when he blocked me."Morgan let me explain.""I'm not in the mood." And truly, I wasn't. I was already a mess thanks to my dad and Cole's death. Just thinking about them made my heart heavy all over again and the last thing I wanted to hear was that my dad wasn't my real dad. A clap began to echo as Cammy walked into the hall with Sabrina. "Wow!" She announced turning to Sabrina. "Seems your sister has known the truth Rina." She cocked her head at me then back to Sabrina. " Why didn't you tell her?"My breath hitched up in my throat while my attention snapped to Sabrina. "You knew?" No matter how much I tried, I couldn't hide the disappointment in my voice."Morgan..""You're hiding things fr

    Dante's POV:The prison guard readjusted the baton strapped to his hip. I didn't miss the sharp look he gave Nova. She leaned back in her seat, her eyes cruel and mocking as she glared at me through the glass that separated us."You think this is funny?" I asked, fed up with her nonchalance."Why disturb yourself?" She asked, no sign of remorse in her eyes. "Because you have ruined Morgan's life!" I yelled. Recalling where I was, I inhaled and exhaled trying to regain my cool. I glanced at the guard quickly, but his eyes were elsewhere. Nova leaned forward and tapped her finger on the glass. "Look at you. All worked up because of her Dante. Still pining after her. Have you no shame?""Shame?" I scoffed meeting her dead eyes. "If you had a little bit of shame we wouldn't be in this situation."She tilted her head to the side. "This was all your fault, don't push it on me."If only I could break through the glass that separates us and strangle her right here and now, only then would I

    THIRD PERSON POV:"You abandoned me!" Nova screamed at her brother. "Do you know what that felt like?""I fucking didn't abandon you!" Winston yelled back. "Didn't you see? I was also in jail."She screamed so loud, the men around them, had to rub their ears. "It's all that bitch's fault." She screeched. "I'll make sure to tear her apart when I see her.""You have to sit. The plane is in transit." Exhaling in anger, she sat down as the jet moved off the runway and into the air. "What of mum?"Winston smiled looking out the window. "What do you think?" Before his sister could reply, Dr. Shirley walked in, handing Winston a tablet. "It's still in position." She announced with a smile as Nova walked over to them. "What is that?" She asked."Well my dear sister," Winston said as he looked at the red flashing dot on the screen. "Four years ago, Morgan was Dr Shirley's patient. I had Dr Shirley plant a small tracking device in her."Nova gasped and faced him. She grinned impishly and wi

    Morgan's POVMy foot bounced as I waited for the video call to connect. My entire room was in a mess.Come on!The ball connected and Sabrina's face came on the screen. "Morgan?""Okay Rina. I'm freaking out!" I started as soon as she picked the call. I jumped to my feet and placed the tablet on the table. "I need your help!""My help with what?" She asked. She had a sheet mask on her face and was eating a bowl of cut apples.I picked up three gowns and held them up. "Which one?"She bummed and stroked her chin. "Hmm, this is really hard.""Oh come on." "I'm serious Morgan. I can't say. ""Just try.""Okay..." She started. She narrowed her eyes and leaned closer. "The white one... Purity... Nice. The red one... Sexy... Good. The pink one is cute and also good. How do you expect me to pick?""That's not an answer. ""What is this even for?""I have dinner with Dante."Her eyes widened and she let out a long squeak.

    Morgan's POVSIX MONTHS LATER:I lowered the music blasting through my car radio as I tried to parallel park. "Morgan?!" Sabrina's voice came through the speaker. "Guess what I just saw?" I asked Sabrina on the phone as I made to park my car."What?""Listen and don't interrupt.""Okay..." From her voice, I knew she was confused but nevertheless, she'd figure it out. I cleared my throat and began to recite the headline I had just seen. "CEO Sabrina Emily Rosewood, tops the chart as the youngest CEO of Rosewood enterprises to top first three in profits, assets and company growth in less than seven months.""What the hell?" She burst out laughing. "Seriously... You shouldn't sing my praises like that. It's creepy.""I'm creepy." I said with a chuckle. I took my phone and purse and walked out of my car. I headed up to the building in front of me. "Yeah. You are." She said fondly. "I gotta go. My dad needs my help with something.""Again..." She groaned. "I barely even see you these

  • She's back   unethical practices

    Morgan's POVThe consistent ping ponging of the door bell shut me out of my haze of confusion and uncertainty. I stared at the screen of my television watching as the investigators were ceasing boxes an boxes of files from Winston's office as they announced that he had been arrested last night as an accomplice in my dad's murder. How was I supposed to take that? The man that I had lived with since I was disowned by my dad happened to have a hand in his murder. But I couldn't understand it at all. Nova killed my dad, while Winston was an accomplice. How and why? It didn't make sense. The ping-ponging continued, but it seemed too far away as I slipped back into the news. The news droned on saying the had been sent an anonymous tip and we're grateful to whoever it was."During the investigation," The anchor continued. "The police have discovered evidence of slush funds, unethical medical practices alongside malpractices and other law punishable offences that are yet to be discovered.

  • She's back   Winston and Sabrina

    Sabrina's POVI ended the call, feeling disgusted with myself. I had just lied. A lie that would come back to bite me in the ass. I hadn't told Morgan anything. Infact, I had told her that I wasn't hiding anything from her while I was hiding tons. And Winston, I wasn't looking into him one bit. I already knew everything. I had known everything since the reading of daddy's will. And here I was, going to his house as the sun was setting. By the time I got there, it was night. I rang the doorbell, and was ushered in by a butler with a smiley face as if he had been waiting for me to show up. I was led to Winston's study where he stood by the window, sipping from a glass of wine. He didn't turn nor acknowledge my presence until he had finished his glass of wine. "Does Morgan know you're here?" He finally said. His voice sending chills down my spine. "It's isn't proper of you to visit your sister's boyfriend in the dead of the night. " He turned to me with the most lifeless eyes I had e

    Dante's POVI rang her doorbell, shifting from one foot to another. Today, she wasn't going to push me away like before. I was going to make sure of that. The speed she used in opening the door told me that she was expecting someone. Was it Sabrina, or was it Winston? I prayed it wasn't Winston. The last thing I wanted was him him in Morgan's life. "Hey." She moved the door to shut it in my face when I blocked it with my leg. "I won't let you push me away today or ever again Morgan. ""I don't want to talk to you. I have nothing to say to you." We struggled against the door till I exhaled and poured it all out. "I know Morgan. I know. I've always know. " Her grasp loosened making me take advantage of the opportunity and opening the door "You know what?"I paused looking at her as she gasped for breath after our little struggle with the door. "I know about the kids..." She went silent. Including her breathing. "I know they're ours."I finalized, exhaling."What?" Her voice was barel

    Morgan's POVA knock sounded, alerting me of Mark's presence. "Hey." I nodded, stepping aside for him to enter. "You live here." He said rubbing his hands together as I moved him to the sitting room and disappeared behind the doors of the kitchen, returning with a can of soda."Sit wherever you want." I said sitting down in front of him. "Right." He sat, staring around the house. "Explain yourself." I said."Explain what..?""You." I exhaled, adjusting myself and exhaling. He nodded, setting the can down in the table in front of us. "You must have a lot of questions." He said."I sure do. And you're taking a long time to answer them.""What do you want to know?""How about everything?"He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Everything. Okay. Let me start from the top. I'm Stefan's twin as you know already. He was the golden son of the family and I was the delinquent."I nodded. My father is a delinquent. Good.

  • She's back   Dad is gone

    Sabrina's POVThe stillness around the house was deafening. Morgan hadn't taken anything I had said seriously, and I couldn't blame her. I knew important things about her and didn't tell her about it. I had hurt her and even if she pushes me away when I try to make things right, I wouldn't be surprised. I deserved it. Including what the future held if I was ever to come completely clean and tell her the rest. I couldn't imagine–didn't want to imagine. It would be best for the both of us it I were to tell her the entirety of the truth, but she was still in shock about all that had happened. I couldn't add to that. My eyes drifted to the door, recalling how she had banged the door as she left, and how my mother had spoken to her. How could she be so insensitive? Did she really care for only daddy's will? Did she really love him?Morgan didn't deserve this sort of wickedness. From my mum or any other person. She had lost way too much for no reason and the last thing she needed was s

    Morgan's POVIt was only seven in the morning when the doorbell of my door rang and without moving to it, I already knew who was there. I walked to the door, turning the mic on as I watched who stood at the door. "What do you want?" I asked him watching him and the flowers he had in his hands. "I just want to see you Morgan.""Go away Winston." I exhaled. "I don't want to see you or anybody else." I said with a tone of finality in my voice."Morgan wait..." He called out when I was about to turn off the mic. "You've been turning me away each time for days now." He said in protest. "I just want to see you. I... I want to make sure you're doing okay.""I'm telling you that I'm doing okay Winston. And that you don't have to visit me again until further notice. I'm fine." I said as my voice broke. "I'm fine." I said with more firm resolve, turning off the mic and the camera. "Mommy, who was that?" I heard Miranda's voice behind me, stifled with a yawn."No one you have to know of." I s
