Sabrina's POV"Good morning ma'am." Nora greeted standing up as I walked to my office door. A gave her a nodded accompanied by a weak smile with no strength to say a word. She gave an uneasy smile before she sat down.I had noticed that ever since Morgan left, Nora hadn't been her usual self. She was now confined, carrying out her duties stiffly and formally. I couldn't tell if she liked me or not. Best if I didn't know. From last week Saturday to this Saturday had been a nightmare. Thankfully and Surprisingly, the public were in Morgan's favour, yelling at daddy to bring her back. His pride and stubbornness so far couldn't let him. I couldn't help but wonder if he wanted the company to be plunged deep into the pits of hell before he'd being her back. Dumping my bag on the desk, I slumped into my seat staring at the ceiling. A week of remedying the mess he had caused and what was he doing? Trying to cover it up instead of facing it head-on. After several minutes of staring into spac
Third Person POVAs soon as Sabrina stormed out of the house in anger, Rosewood kicked the vase in the centre of the table off the table. "Why are you getting worked up?" Cammy asked in a calm tone as she inspected her fingernails. Rosewood turned to her, a dark and murderous look in his eyes. He looked about to strangle her at a moment's notice. "Why am I worked up?! You caused this!" His voice boomed through the room. "This is all your fault!""Are you yelling at me?!" Cammy snapped, eyes wide in shock. "You're yelling at me...""Don't give that look Cammy! You don't get to act all innocent right now! Don't even think about it!" She rolled her eyes in response, walking closer to him. "You don't have to bring her back." She said softly. She grabbed his arm and rubbed circles into his palm. "Sabrina is fully capable of handling the company. She is your legitimate daughter, and not that—""Don't even dare finish that sentence." He snapped. He pulled his hand back and pushed her to t
Dante's POV"And about Miss Morgan,"I glanced up sharply at Alexander. He quickly cleared his throat. "My apologies, sir."I was about to reply to him when the door suddenly burst open"Dante! Where are you?!"I looked up at the door to see someone I hadn't ever expected to see. I jumped to my feet. "Aunt Leon?""I'll be taking my leave now, sir." Alexander said and hurried out before I could reply him. She stormed up to me and grabbed my collar. Her eyes were full of barely controlled anger. "You silly boy. I warned you? Didn't I?"I gently pried her hands off my collar and flashed her a smile. "Aunty you can sit down, there's no need to yell." "I wonder how you can smile with all these going on around you." She replied with no trace of a smile on her face. "Why didn't you listen to me? Huh?" "Can we not talk about this? I've been talking about it for a week now." "That is exactly my point!"I was literally going underwater sinking deeper and deeper thanks to the online harassm
Morgan's POVI had just finished my afternoon shower when I began to perceive something utterly delicious coming from the kitchen. My heart leaped into my stomach. Had someone come in while I was taking a bath? But if someone had come in, while would they cook? Trying to silence my footsteps, I tip-toed towards the kitchen door, peeking though the home between the door and the wall. I stopped short when I saw who it was. It was then that I noticed his car parked outside. I couldn't remember the last time I get such excitement deep down in my stomach. Without restraint, I ran to him throwing myself in his arms. He giggled carrying me up and spinning before planting a kiss on the tip of my nose. "You didn't tell me your be back.""I didn't give a specific date remember?" He giggled kissing my cheek then planting a soft kiss on my lips. "I missed you." He said. "Me too." I whispered as the heat rushed to my cheeks. Both from the fact that I missed him and the guilt that I had let Dant
Morgan's POV"How long are you going to stay in there?" Winston asked at my door. He had been there for the past ten minutes trying to get me to come out. But I just couldn't. The tears were biting me when I was talking with my father but now I was all alone, they were no where to be found. Not even a trace left, nothing. But I just couldn't bring myself to come out. "You know dinner's getting cold right. And you hate cold dinner." I chuckled at his attempt to get me to come out of my room but at least, it worked. Getting up from the floor, I walked to the door opening it. He stood outside with a tray of food."Since you couldn't come to dinner, I decided to bring dinner to you." "Thank you," I said with a soft smile. I moved to the side and let him come in. He walked in and set the tray on the nightstand. We both sat on the bed. "How did the conference go?" I asked as he served me a plate of rice, vegetables and chicken. "So so," He said. "These things are mostly boring. But th
UNKNOWN POVA massage parlor. Soft piano music filled the air, wisps of lavender incense rose from the incense holders placed all over the room. Two women laid out on massage tables, talking to each other. "I'm tired of waiting." The woman pouted looking at her mother. "When do we get to make things right? When do we get to strike?" She asked jolting up from the massage table she was lying on. "Stay still already love. Why did you love to rush things? Patience." Her mum replied pulling her daughter back down onto the massage table. "Soon... Sooner than you think sweetheart. Everything is finally making sense." She smiled at the masseuse who seemed terrified as her hands gently wobbled."Are you uncomfortable?" The woman asked her mother's masseuse. The young lady shook her head forcing a smile. "There no need to lie. " The woman said relaxing and closing her eyes just as the two masseuse exchanged glances with each other before returning to their work. There was silence and peace,
Morgan's POVI woke up from a dreamless slumber. It took some time to readjust my sight to seeing in the dark. Blinking, I stumbled out of bed to the switch, turning it on. 9:45 p.m. Rubbing my eyes, I tried to remember what had led to me waking up before I remembered that I had passed out after dinner. Winston must have tucked me into bed. But what happened before I passed out? Trying to think deeper, I just couldn't get a hold of the events before I passed out. My bones seemed to creak with each step, making my muscles difficult to get into motion.I headed to the bathroom and ran a cold shower. It helped wake me up. I changed my clothes and once I was done freshening up, I realized how thirsty I was."Heavens, I need water." I muttered under my breath and headed to the kitchen. I drank my water and decided to look for Winston. I checked his room first but he wasn't there. Which meant he was in the study. Knocking twice, I walked in to see him asleep on his desk. He needed to l
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
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. "Oh my goodness finally! That took longer than I expected!"I rolled m
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
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.
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. "My brother and I weren't on good terms because of the judgemental
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
