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
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
FourMORGAN'S POV:"Okay Cole quit running around! You may hurt yourself." I yelled."Oh do leave the boy child alone." My dad said. "He took just after his grandfather." He said laughing as Cole fell, got up and continued running around with his pet dog."Who even had the idea of getting him a pet dog dad?" I asked my father as I watched my son chasing and falling and all over again, his laughter of milk and honey."Let him be princess." My dad said to me noticing my worry. "He is just a child of four. Let him enjoy his childhood." He was right. Children should enjoy their childhood. "But just make sure that he doesn't get hurt." I said to my dad."Can't you count on your father, the famous Mr Rosewood?" He asked smiling at me."Who am I not to trust you." I said giggling, kissing him on the forehead. "Now I have to go find the other half." I said to my dad leaving the garden. "See what she's up to.""No worries." He replied. "This young Rosewood, is in the good hands of the old Ros
Morgan's pov:I grabbed my champagne flute a bit too hard, the brief fear of breaking it flashing through my mind. It should be impossible, right? Breaking the glass with my bare hands. But with the emotions running through me right now, I had no doubts that if I pressed hard enough I would break the glass.Dante. Dante is here. I hadn't expected him to show up, heck I hadn't expected to see anyone I knew here! The Lovesons were a secretive lot, very few people were invited to parties they attended to.And yet Dante is here. He's looking right at me, those eyes that I can't shake off my mind no matter how hard I try. Those eyes that often gazed at me with a soft look that brought tears into my eyes. Only for me to find out that it was all fake. He had another woman in his mind as he stared at me. I grit my teeth hard, raising a door against the memories. This isn't the time. This isn't the time to be going down memory lane. He cast me out. He treated me like trash.Morgan, don't eve
Morgan's pov:"Babe, you certainly took your time getting here." I said, flashing the man a brilliant smile. With my eyes I pleaded for him to understand the situation."Babe?" Dante asked behind me. I didn't dare glace at him. I didn't date take my eyes off this handsome stranger in front of me with the champagne spill on his shirt. I didn't dare break eye contact. Nova scoffed. I ignored her.Blue eyes stared into mine, an unreadable look in them. His eyes moved down to my hand placed daintily on his chest, and back to my face.Please. Please play along. "I'm so sorry my love," The man said, bending down to my cheek. "I had a little emergency at home, I didn't intend to come late." He raised his head back up, a smile on his face bright enough to light up a small town."Did the dogs act up again?" I asked, shaking my head with a chuckle. Outside I look calm, but inside I'm screaming with joy. Relief washes over my like a tidal wave. He caught the hint! "What can I say? Molly miss
7:Morgan'sPOV:I drove as fast as I could, away from the fundraiser, exceeding the speed limit. To believe that of all the people in the world that I could bump into, Dante with that stupid bitch Nova! And ruin my perfect life!Don't don't, please don't! I pleaded with my tears. They were so close to breeching my lash line. The tears were stubborn, ignoring my pleas. With the back of my palm, I wiped them away from my face, trying to focus on the road before me, overtaking cars like a drunken driver would. I had tried all that I could to put the past behind me and create a new life for myself, for Cole and Miranda. I had moved on...or so I told myself to believe. And before I knew it, there was Dante, just there.I almost ran into the policeman waving a Barton in front for me to allow down. The force I applied on the brakes, if applied on a speed faster than the one I was on, would have landed me in the hospital with immediate surgery for a heart surgery.I quickly wiped the tears f

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
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
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
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
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..." Miranda cr
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
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. "Is this
Dante's POVSabrina's grip on my hand felt like breeze compared to the pounding if my chest. All I heard as I rushed towards Winston in anger was the thumping of my heart. I bet Sabrina was screaming but I didn't know for sure. She was gone. And Winston was juts walking out of her hotel eve after I had given him a wrong one. How? He was a shady one and I wouldn't be surprised if he had trackers in her or even asked someone to tail her or even tail me.I punched him in the guts and was about to punch him again when he gripped my hand, shock evident on his face but I wasn't taking it. Taking my hand from him, I raised it again only for him to block the punch. "Can't you speak about your problem with me? Nuts you be violent?""Speak?" I scoffed taking a look at him from his head to his toe. "You want me to speak when you're just walking out of Morgan's hotel seconds after she's gone missing?""What the hell are you talking about?""Don't play smart with me bastard.""Play smart? I came
