25: Morgan's POV:

"Oh my goodness! What happened here?" Sabrina gasped as she walked into my office, right through where a door was a few hours ago.

I looked up at her and said nothing.

"Come on," She said with a sigh. She walked up to my desk, a bag of takeout food in her hands. Her eyes were filled with anxiety as she stared at me. "Can we talk, please?"

"About what?" I said, still bitter. I went back to my work, glancing over the reports laid out in front of me.

"I talked to dad, and he helped me understand some things. Can I sit, please?"

"Whatever."

She sat down and slid the bag over to me. "Morgan, please, can you at least look at me?"

I raised my head and met her eyes. "You have two minutes. As you can see, I'm very busy right now."

She nodded and shifted in her seat. "Dad told me you were married to Mr Fontaine, and that it ended very terribly. I'm deeply sorry, Morgan. I wouldn't have signed those papers if I knew it was going to be really tough on you."

    Morgan's POV"You seem happy." Winston said to me after the waiter was through with pouring him and I a glass of wine. "Did something good happen?"Of course. Nothing felt better than showing Dante that he didn't have a say concerning where I decide to be, when I decide to be there and with whom I want to be there with.I took a sip of the wine, letting it saturate my taste buds for some seconds before swallowing it. Turning the glass in my hands, I looked at Winston."Everything's just something to be happy for." I said with a smile. He smiled back, his eyes aglow with mirth."A toast?" He raised his glass. "To?" "Let's see..." He ran his hands through his hair. "To you, and to your happiness.""You bet." I laughed clinking my glass with his. We ate dinner, cracking jokes and laughing. Before long, I was lost in the conversation, forgetting about things I was supposed to be worried about and laughing. "You have quite a sense of humour." I said between fits of laughter."Quite, is q

    Morgan's POVI screamed, kicking the seat that Dante was sitting on."I'm sorry ma'am, but you need to..." I glared at the hostess, shutting her up."Interfering with the flight could cause a crash." Dante said turning to look at me."I don't remember asking your opinion, so I suggest you shut the hell up!" I said to him, watching as the jet took off from the floor into the air. I could feel every nerve in my body tighten with fury.The embarrassment I had felt today, was more than embarrassment, it was disrespect! How could Dante treat me like that?! How dare him? I took in deep breaths, trying to control myself before I would do something that might have me regretting for the rest of my life."You've gone quiet." Dante said with amusement in his voice. "I hate you. I wish you'll burn in hell." I said to him, walking to a seat two seats away from him. He turned to me as I sat down, looking at me with his calm faced expression. I grit my teeth in anger, trying to pretend that he want

    Morgan's POV"No!" I said to both the receptionist and Dante. "No way in hell, am I going to spend the night in the same room with this." I pointed at Dante. The receptionist looked confused and shocked, her gaze travelling from Dante to me and back to Dante."Okay..." She started. "Are you going to take the room, or not...""We will.""Not."Dante and I said at the same time.The receptionist looked confused and a bit scared. "Which one of the answers should I take?""Mine." Dante replied. He handed her his card. "We'll take the room.""Excuse me." I scoffed, glaring at him darkly. "I'm not sharing a room with you. How many times do I have to say that?""From what I recall, you've already done that, so this time would make it the second time."I drew a breath, shooting the receptionist a cold glare signifying her to take her eyes off of me and get back to work. I turned around, heading for the door. Dante blocks my path. I glared at him, wanting to throw a heart felt punch at his fac

    Morgan's POVDante drove to the hotel while I laid down silently in the back seat of the car. The warmth was what I really needed and even though I would never say it out loud, I was glad that he had come to find me. We got to the hotel, the receptionist still there at the desk watching us as we both went inside. Inside, I walked straight to the bathroom, getting out of my wet cloths and took a steaming bath. By the time I was out, Dante had ordered dinner. "I don't know what you would want to eat, so I got chicken and coke."Without giving him a reply, I sat down on one of the couches, and began to eat. The chicken sure was tasty and I cleared out the box before I knew what I had done."Morgan...""I'm not in my best mood Dante. Leave me alone." I had barely finished the sentence when I sneezed. Wow! First off, humiliation thanks to Dante, second humiliation thanks to no card, no phone, now I've caught a cold."I'll get you medications." He got up from the couch he was sitting on

    Morgan's POV:Nora's chewed on her lower lip, her hands trembling as she showed me a video that was playing on her iPad. I snatched the iPad, wondering what it was that had her so worked up. My heart raced as I saw the screen. My blood turned to ice in my veins as I watched the video.The noise around me got intense. Telephones ringing, voices overlapping each other, apologies being made. Everything got so intense."Oh my...." My breath caught in my throat. My eyes widened with shock as rje video began to roll."Is the CEO of Rosewood Enterprises really as she claims to be?!" The glaring headline read. Video clips of me was being displayed on the screen, loud subtitles and frantic music playing over the video. "All eyes have been on the very young and apparently talented CEO of the famous Rosewood Enterprises — Morgan Rosewood. Jailed as the youngest female CEO of our country, she has been making waves in the business world. But as we have seen of late, Morgan appears to be a total f

    Morgan's POV:"Morgan!" Sabrina shouted as she burst into my office,her voice full of urgency. "What is going on?!"I looked up from my phone. "What exactly are you talking about?"She slammed her hands down on my desk, her yee burning into mine. "It's all over the Internet."I rubbed my temples. "Please don't ask me if I have cancer, it won't be very funny hearing that come from you.""I wasn't going to ask you that. We have to go, now.""Go where?""An emergency board meeting has been called."I blinked. Oh, that didn't take them very long ago all. I bet they're all dying to eat this up. "Very well." I got to my feet. "Let's go."***The moment I stepped into the conference hall, I could feel the heavy cloud of tension in the air. The hushed conversations that had been floating around came to a stand still and all eyes turned to me. "Good day everyone." I said, taking my time to observe all their faces. Safe to say, they did not look pleased at all. "Miss Rosewood," Liam, the old

    Morgan's pov:"What did you just do?" Sabrina asked, her tone carrying a distinct chill that I recognized. She sounded like my father, when he was very pissed. I shoved down my inhibitions and maintained a glower. "I asked you a question first." Sabrina turned to Nora who was looking at us with a bewildered expression. "Could you excuse us, please?" Sabrina said in a tone that dripped sweet saccharine. Nora looked at me. I gave her an encouraging nod, signaling that it was okay for her to leave. She turned and walked out, the door closing behind her. I faced Sabrina again."Well?" She asked, her head cocked to the side. "What was that just now, Morgan?""Sabrina, now isn't the time to play word games. I asked you, what are you hiding from me?!""Hiding?" She scoffed a bitter laugh. "You know, Morgan, I've been really cool about all of this. You know that , right?"I narrowed my eyes at her. "That wasn't an answer, Sabrina. And you know it.""Hiding anything from you?

"Either way," I said to him. "I'll figure out who did it. Have a wonderful day, Mr Fontaine. I'm sure you can see yourself out.""Morgan, listen to me." "I don't have to listen to any word that comes out of your mouth, Mr Fontaine." I stood by the open door. "The only business we have together is as business partners. Remember your place."His eyes widened. "Hey, that's uncalled for. I'm here to help you.""Help me with what?""I don't know." He shrugged. "There's been a smear campaign launched against you. I can help you with that. I have a team, we can...""No thank you." I replied calmly. "I can handle this myself. I have a team too, and right now we're working on it.""Morgan," He took a step forward"Get out or I'll throw you out with security." I spat. He looked at me long and hard. Then without any furth

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

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.

    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
