Morgan's POV:

I don't think I drink that much. Personally, I prefer to stay away from alcohol as much as I can. I don't like the taste of it, and I don't like being drunk. But today, I felt like a drink.

The meeting had gone well, thankfully. We didn't sign a deal yet but it looked like it was going to happen anytime soon. I was back home, after a long and late night at the office, and I felt like going to the bar.

I poured myself a glass of cherry wine I had added some coke to, just to dull down the taste of the alcohol. I added a large ball of ice and sat down at the home bar.

Since there were children in the house, the bar was constantly under lock and key with only the adults having access to it. The room was always chilled, a wide assortment of drinks in elaborate wooden shelves all over the walls. The wine cellar was below the room, housing dad's impressive wine collection.

I sipped my drink, a soft sigh escaping my lips.

"You look exhausted." A voice said from the doorway.

    Morgan's POV:"Mommy! Cole is being mean to me again!" Miranda's scream rang out through the park, so loud that a few parents and even kids paused what they were doing and turned to face her.I blinked out of the fog that gathered in my head. I didn't realize I had been lost in my thoughts till I heard Miranda scream "Cole, please be nice to your sister.""She's not my sister." Cole said and folded his arms, a smug look on his face. "If she were actually my sister, she'll have no problem with us playing together!"I glanced at Miranda. She had her face smothered in custard pie, clunks of it dripping down her chin. I sighed softly and got up from the blanket I sat on."Don't say things like that." I said to Cole, a stern look on my face.Cole chuckled and turned away. He sighted a kid and her dog and ran up to them. While I had to stay behind wiping the mess off Miranda's face."I hate him" Miranda said, her voice cracking. "He's so mean to me."I felt a pang of guilt inside my heart.

    Morgan's POV:The picnic had gone horribly. If it had been a deal signing, I would have failed. It was currently night with the kids tucked in and sleep gone completely from my eyes. I sat at the kitchen counter, drinking from the carton of milk in hopes that I'll be able to sleep. "Miss Rosewood?" I heard a voice behind me and turned. Mr Vontrap stood in the doorway, an alarmed look on his face. "You're awake this late," I took a moment to look at him. My father's oldest staff, he's always been a permanent figure in my life. Ever since I was a kid, up until now. And the same is happening for my kids.Although I won't say I'm closer to him than I am to my father. Who am I actually kidding? I'm not even close to my father anymore."Yes, I'm awake." I replied and turned back to my milk."If you want to sleep, I will brew you some chamomile tea."I chuckled. "No thank you. I doubt any amount of chamomile will help me now. I'll just drink my milk in peace."He walked into the kitchen an

  • She's back   Nova

    Morgan's POV:The TV reporter was talking in animated tones about the recent scandals that have come to light about rising woman entrepreneur and beauty girl boss, Nova Bloom. Nova was recently found at the centre of a lot of disastrous scandals, most of them centering around her being a terrible boss and treating her employees like trash. Hard to deny it when it was caught on camera multiple times. The reporter's voice droned on in the back of my head, my mind miles and miles away from my current environments. Last night was stuck in my head. Dinner with Winston, having time to clear up the air about why I was being a little stuck up bitch. I touched my lips and a small smile lit up my face. I could still feel his lips when I reached across the table and pulled him into a daring kiss, my boldest act ever. Oh it was perfect. I didn't recoil. I didn't hate it. What was I even afraid of in the first place? Letting Dante's words in that elevator get to me? I knew now. I had all the

    Morgan's POV:Its been three days since Nova's market price began it's steady plummet to hell."We have acquired the last of the Bloom establishments."In three days, it was done. at first it seemed like it was surreal, surely there's no way it could have been this easy, right?"Finally. She was being stubborn." I clicked my tongue in annoyance. The person over the phone sighed softly."Yes, she was. But she can't be stubborn forever when her market value was going to hell.""I know, I know. You can return now.""Yes, Miss Rosewood." And the call ended.She won't know. I just saved her, and she won't know about it. I got up from my seat and walked closer to the floor to ceiling window overlooking the cityscape. Everything had gone according to plan. For a moment I was worried that she won't sell, knowing how proud she was. But her buyer was kind and considerate, letting her know that something wonderfully good would come out of it all. She doesn't know that the buyer is me, however.

    Morgan's POV:"Miss Rosewood, we have arrived." Charlie, my driver said and killed the car engines. "Thank you, Charlie." I replied.I looked out of the window at the large beauty house off the side of the road. Bloom's House, in bold and chic neon colors. Nova ran this place. She's always had a knack for making things beautiful. It's been her passion ever since I knew her. She would take anyone and make them look ten times beautiful. I remember when she did her makeover on me. She cut my hair so short it took a month to grow back. And she told me I looked better that way. I believed her then, even as I mourned the loss of my long hair. Nova said I looked pretty. Nova that all the boys liked said I looked pretty. So I believed her. Even as I cried my eyes out every night, I believed her. I was so stupid. but I was young. Young and blind to see her for the snake that she was. The memories hit me hard. But then again came the betrayal.I looked away from the building and stepped out

    Morgan's POV:"Trick?" I asked with doll eyes. "You saw for yourself. How could that possibly be a trick?""You bitch!" She yelled, raising her hand to land a slap across my fave when I held her hand and shoved it off. My face becoming like hard stone. "I will make sure I destroy you!" She barked "So be careful how you speak to me bestie.""Don't you dare call me that rubbish!!" My hand went to my chest. She had always called me bestie hadn't she? And now she didn't want me calling her that. I gave her a sweet smile she returned with boxing flames of fire in her eyes. "Is this what you calm revenge? For ruining you?" Bingo! She had admitted to it. Just what I wanted. "Maybe." I said. "Let me tell you Morgan. You were headed for the floor of the cliff long time ago. I only helped you get to your miserable end faster. You should be thanking me. I saved your fucking life!""You really are crazy upstairs bestie...""I warned you..." She picked her laptop, hauling it at me. "Not to

    Morgan's POVI walked down the podium, with my head held up high not sparing my father not Sabrina a glance as I walked to my car with Nora beside and Emerson with both of us. Questions were thrown here and there at me. "What do you intend to do with all those falling companies?""Miss Rosewood! What do you have to say about this?!""Miss Rosewood over here please! These establishments, is it true that you had your eye on them for a long time?!""Miss Rosewood! Won't you say something?!"The cameras flashed and went off in front of me, I barely flinched in response to them. The voices of the reporters filled my head, making me dizzy. I didn't bother responding to any of the questions. I owed nothing to them.As Charlie turned in the ignition to drive off, I turned toward the crowd we had walked through, my eyes meeting my dad's. The look on his face reminded him of one time I had saying that I had put fire ants in my classmate's shoes. When I had gone home that day, he was livid. I t

    UNKNOWN POV;The clacking of heels on the floor alerted the man of another presence. He looked over his shoulder and sighed a woman walking toward him. He turned and faced the endless sky that spanned in front of him. "Took you long enough." The man said with a light chuckle."Your meeting places are always the worst." She retorted. She sounded like someone who had ran fifteen laps. The man still had his back turned to her as he spoke. "I'm surprised at how smooth things are." The smirk could be heard in his voice as he spoke."I won't say it's smooth." The woman snorted before walking to stand beside him at the edge of the roof he stood. They watched the night sky together."That's because you only see the surface." He replied like a poet, his eyes gleaming with sadistic joy. "It's only a matter of time before Rosewood Enterprise is plunged into winter.""You mean plunged into the dessert." The woman replied, matching his sadistic state while brushing some strands from her face. Th

    EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER. The chill in the air warned of approaching winter. The night sky was lifeless without a single star or the moon in sight. Silent, cold, like death. On the roof of a fifteen story building were two men, one younger and the other older. The younger man had his face hidden with a dark hood, but lifeless blue eyes peered out of the darkness. He had his arms folded, muscles bulging under his hood, his skin covered with scars, bullet holes, and tattoos. He had a handsome face, quite striking. But there was no emotion on that face. He watched the street below, the people who hurried about trying to get home before the storm came. The young man stood deathly still one would think he was a statue. "Do you understand your mission?" The older man asked in a gruff voice. He walked up to the younger man's side, making sure to keep a safe distance. "Yes." The younger man replied, coldly. "And please, don't bring in dead bodies. I need them alive, are we clear?" From a

    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

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

    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

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.

  • 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
