Olivia still couldn't believe how Morgan stood up for her, and finally, she got something she wanted.At least Ava wouldn't dare to mess with her, not again. Even after the incident, Morgan didn't spare her a glance, he walked ahead of Olivia, his gaze cold and aloof.He finally halted, making Olivia bump into his sturdy back.“Ouch!” She winched, caressing her forehead.“Your clothes are messed up, you'll have to change into something better.” He said, turning to look at her.What!Olivia circled her gaze around her dress, finding nothing wrong with her dress, she glanced up at Morgan, staring at him with confusion.“You won't change, will you? Fine, you can get your marriage certificate all dressed like that.” He said, resuming his walk.“Marriage Certificate?” She gasped, arching her brows.She slapped her forehead, recalling she was automatically married to Morgan, after she signed the contract. What's left was to get a marriage certificate.Though the word wife sounded foreign a
Larry's House,Hilda frowned upon Ava's return, she furrowed her brows deeply that it could kill a fly.“What happened to your face, why is it so red and swollen?” Hilda asked, pulling Ava to sit with her.Ava remained silent, tears welling up in her eyes. Anger, hatred and jealousy filled in her chest.“Ava dear, mom is asking you, who did this to you? Who did this to my daughter?” Hilda said, impatience written on her face.“Who else? It's that slut! It's Olivia!” Ava cried.“Olivia? that brat! How dare she do this to you? What happened?”“Mom, I went to Crystal Mall to get that bracelet I was telling you about, I didn't know Olivia was there and also wanted the same bracelet. I took it before she could take it and she wanted me to give it back, when I said no, she slapped me and started beating me.”“What hurts me most is that Morgan Klein helped her, he took the bracelet from me and gave it to her. Mom, how could Olivia get the backing of the top richest man in the city? He even a
Xavier stilled on his seat. After some seconds, he quickly grabbed his phone and dialed a number.“Hello boss,” a rough male's voice was heard from the other end of the phone.“Did you leave any trace that would trail back to me?” Xavier growled anxiously.“No boss. Everything is clean.” Xavier hung up the call. His eyes darted around the office, and stopped on his desk. Just now, he thought that Morgan had already found out about the accident, but it seems to be his delusion.“Watch how I take you down.” He smiled wickedly.Morgan sat leisurely, swirling around the chair, when his phone rang. He took it and glanced at the screen, contemplating if he should take the call or not.“Hello, Mr. Morgan, your father has requested to see you.”“I'm busy today, I'd come next time.” Morgan said, his brows furrowed.“But sir..he refused to take his medications. Please come and see him.” The doctor pleaded.“That Man!” Morgan sighed, hanging up the call.He informed Nicholas and they quickly l
“Ouch!” Olivia winced, as her face came in contact with Morgan's sturdy chest.“Can’t you be more careful?” Morgan frowned as he released his hold on her.Olivia rubbed her now reddened face, her eyes glistening with tears. She couldn't believe how someone's chest could be as painful as Morgan's chest.Morgan's gaze darkened as he saw her moist eyes and reddened face. His heart tugged with tenderness and guilt, suddenly wishing never to see her in pain.He carried her off the ground, suddenly startling her. Olivia wanted to protest and fight, so he could put her down, but she couldn't find the strength to do it. She melted Into him, unexpectedly feeling secure. If it was because of his soothing cologne and scent or because he didn't intentionally hurt her, she had no knowledge, but she felt secure.Morgan carried her into his sturdy, sitting her on the desk. Olivia tried to move, but was stopped by his low husky growl. “Don't move.” Olivia stilled, even though she didn't want to. T
Olivia woke up with teary eyes, her heart pounding loudly in her chest, as her body was soaked with her sweat.She couldn't believe she had a nightmare, because it felt so real, that she cried bitterly.She dreamt, when Ava and Hilda, went to her mother's ward in the hospital. They accused her of stealing Larry and forced her to kill herself. When she came into the ward, her mother's blood was draped all over the floor, her body lying lifelessly on the bed.She cried, clutching her mom's body to her chest, her heart aching that it felt like it was going to break into pieces. Ava and her mother laughed scornfully at her, gloating proudly in her misery.Olivia glanced around the room, it was still obviously dark. She needed to call the doctor, she needed to know if her mother was okay, but she had no phone.She laid on the bed, tears rolling down her cheeks, as she thought about losing her mother. It was unbearable.Later in the morning, Olivia was dressed casually in an apricot flay g
Olivia was dropped off by Nicholas, Morgan was also in the car, but was heading to the office.She was directed by the one of the nurses into the doctor's office. A middle aged man, with rimless glasses, which covered his small eyes, was seated with a book in his hand.He glanced at Olivia through his glasses, a smile slowly escaping his lips.Olivia couldn't help but smile back. His smile was infectious and reassuring, almost making her forget the turmoil in her heart earlier.“You came to visit your mom?” He asked.Olivia nodded, glad that he could remember face, even though she's only come once.“Has she woken up?” She asked, glancing at the doctor.“Not yet. I'm sure she'll wake up soon, so don't worry.” He smiled reassuringly.Olivia's heart tugged with sadness, but she managed to release a smile and nodded.“Let's go then.” he smiled again and got up.Olivia followed him and went out of the office, heading to mother's ward. Her mother's ward was on the top floor, thanks to Morg
Larry's House“Mom, you wouldn't believe who I saw today?” Ava said, sitting beside her mother.Hilda probed her body, obviously curious to listen to what her daughter wanted to say.“Who did you see?” “Who else if not Olivia, that bitch. She really has no Shame, moving around the public with her old rich backer.”Hilda shook her head, disgust evident on her face.“Who knows what kind of life she's living with her pathetic mother, I'm sure they are going about having their way with old rich men just to reach the top.”“And what kind of irresponsible people would live that kind of life?” Larry's voice asked out of the blue, startling Ava and her mom.Hilda and Ava turned their heads to Larry, who seemed to be coming out from the living room.“Dad?” Ava smiled, acknowledging his presence.“How was school today dear?” “Would have been great if I didn't get to see Olivia flaunting her shameless attitude.” Ava stated.“Olivia? Is she still in your school?” Larry asked, his eyes clouded w
Gilbert snapped out of his thoughts, at Morgan's words. He knew he was making Olivia embarrassed and nervous, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of wanting to know more about her.She looked so much like someone he knew, that he felt like he was staring right at the person in his head. “I still can't believe Morgan got married, and I didn't get to know. I must say, that's kind of you, really kind of you.” Xavier whined, feigning a hurt expression.“I'm sure must be the hurt one. I'm just getting to know my daughter in-law. Why don't you come sit with me?” Gilbert smiled gently, nodding at Olivia.Olivia was about to get up, when Morgan pulled her down, making her sit on his lap.“I want my wife close to me.” He smirked, leaning in to inhale her scent.Olivia's cheeks flushed red, this time, so red like cooked shrimps. She smiled, secretly pushing off his hand that was tingling her body, his breath was enough.She's trying to make her act normal, but Morgan wasn't making it easy f
“To visit you of course.” Hilda smiled, grabbing a chair, to sit close to her.“Why do you look like you're going to have a heart attack, I just came to visit and please don't have it. I can't bear to be accused of being the cause, when I only came to visit you.” “Get out of here, else I'd scream and call the doctor.” Lily threatened, her eyes glaring at her warily.Hilda chuckled slightly, as if she was hearing the biggest joke of her life. She leaned closer, a sneer on her face. “Try it and see how everyone will know the truth about your Olivia.” she challenged, her voice low.Lily paused, her whole body seething with anger and hatred for the woman right in front of her. All she knows how to do is to keep blackmailing her with her past.“Mom?” Ava shot her mother a glance, seeming to not understand why she was talking about Olivia.“Ava dear, don't you think you should wait for me outside the ward and watch when someone is coming. I'd be quick.” Hilda smiled, rubbing her temples.“
Olivia and Sofia turned towards the direction the voice came from.Lucy!“Guess what? we've got no time for you!” Sofia sneered, pulling Olivia's hands, as they went further into the school, ignoring Lucy and her minions.★★★Evaris lounge“Hey dude, you know I could pass as a woman. I bet no one recognized me.” Chandler laughed, pouring himself a drink.“You might be a gay, low key.” Vincent added, grabbing the wine from him.“Eww, what happens to pussies, boobs and curvy ass? I can't live without these, it's pretty obvious.” Chandler defended, making a face at Vincent.“My apologies, Miss Xenia.” Vincent teased, grinning at Chandler.“You're really not going to put in a good word for me, even after you made me turn into a woman. Goodness, i can't believe I did that.” Chandler face palmed himself pitifully, as he cracked up.“I had to look at you again, to be sure if really you were Chandler. Your voice was totally different.” Morgan added, sipping his wine.Vincent burst into anot
Olivia woke In Morgan's bed, she turned around to him lying beside her, his arms wrapped around her waist.Even in his sleep, he looked vulnerably calm yet exuding the aura of nobility and danger. Olivia took in his features, a smile, which she didn't notice, escaping her lips.For some reasons, Olivia found herself to have pity on him. He had really been alone all his life, losing his mother, having an evil step brother, what about his step mother, who she hasn't even seen?This could be behind the reasons, Mr Gilbert made her promise him that she would always stay by his side. Olivia thought.In another second thought, Olivia considered trusting Morgan and caring for him, she promised to try to be a family of his, afterall he saved her.Just when she was thinking, her mind running wild with thoughts, she didn't notice Morgan's lashes were fluttering open, and were now looking at her.“Are you just going to keep staring at me?” His low, and gruffy voice asked, startling her, as she n
Gilbert's Ward**“What is this, I'm seeing in the headline?” Gilbert asked, his gaze fixated at Morgan.“Is this the reason you called me here?” He asked, his voice angry, yet impatient.“What is this about? Who did Xavier kidnap? What really is going on.” “Dad, I'm trying not to let you bother with matters like this. Xavier is my younger brother and I know how to handle him.”“Tell me what I want to know already.” Gilbert barked.Morgan knew his father would stop at nothing to know what really happened, even if it meant stepping out of the ward.“Xavier had Olivia kidnapped and she was kept for a whole five days. You think I should go easy on him? No, I won't.”Morgan's temper was rising, as he tried to hold it in. Gilbert stared at him for a long time, suddenly dumbfounded.“You'd have my arranged, I'm going to the station tomorrow.” Gilbert said, finally breaking the silence.“You'd do no such thing.” “I'm going there and that's final. This feud between you both, should end. What
Few days passed and Morgan was discharged from the hospital, he happened to heal faster than expected.“Father, I have every right to arrest him and I'm no one is bailing him out, until I say so.” Morgan's low yet commanding voice stated.“Gilbert, you won't let that happen, will you? I know Xavi, he hasn't done anything, Morgan is just trying to jail him because he's jealous of his success.” Cecilia pleaded, making her voice as soft as it could be.Morgan scoffed, it was like he was hearing the biggest joke of his life. He knew Cecilia more than anyone, even more than Xavier, her son, she was evil and ostentatious and he was going to make her take the same medicines she once gave to him.Morgan had Xavier arrested, after he had ordered his men to first give him a slow and painful torture. Now his father seeked to know the reason, and Cecilia- Xavier's mother was there of course to cover for her son.“Morgan, I demand to know the reason he was arrested.” Gilbert, his angry eyes fixed
Olivia gasped, widening her eyes in shock as she glanced at mother, who's eyes were now moistened.“No mom, that's not possible, the doctor can find another way. I'm sure of that.” Olivia babbled, her eyes clouding with tears, as she grabbed her mother's hands.Lily, smiled sadly, suppressing the tears that were about to escape her eyes. She patted Olivia's arms, giving her a reassuring look.Just then, the doctor walked in. With a smile etched on his face, he shook Olivia's hands and nodded gently at Lily.“I'm glad you're okay, hope you weren't…”“Ohh thank you doctor, I'm very fine.” Olivia chipped in, quickly interrupting what the doctor was about to say. She knew what he was going to say, and it was something she didn't want to talk about, especially not in front of her mother.The doctor seemed to understand and nodded his head, not bringing back the topic. His gaze darted towards Lily, who was laying on the bed, and he smiled, reassuringly.“Let's talk in my office.” The doctor
Inside a spacious and Luxurious ward, Morgan could be seen, laying on a white king sized bed. His face was scrunched up, as if he was in pain.His thick lashes fluttered open, revealing a pair of red and tired eyes, his brows got deeper, as his gaze scanned the room. A sharp and heavy smell of antiseptic and medicines wafted into his nose, one that he hated, making him suddenly nauseous.He tried to get up, but realized that there were pipes connected to his body, he quickly yanked it off, grunting as the pain from his chest injury hit him hard.His face was draped with sweat, as he pulled off the quilt covering him and mde to get up. Just then, the door was pushed open, revealing Nicholas who walked in, behind him was Olivia.“What are you doing sir?” Nicholas frowned, rushing towards him, but he was shoved off by Morgan.“Sit still, your wounds are reopening and bleeding. Oh my God, what have you done?” Olivia sighed, her voice soft and tender, as she held Morgan from getting up.Mo
Xenia glanced at Olivia, “Hey, come on let's go”“What about Morgan? That man wants him to come, who knows what he'll do to him.” She freaked, remembering what the man told her earlier, about killing Morgan.For some reasons, Olivia couldn't move her foot, she couldn't leave when knowing Morgan was in there, it's not like she could or anything, her heart ached, it ached for him.“Please let's go, it won't be nice if we're caught here. It would be a distraction to Morgan and it would be your fault.” Xenia snapped, becoming impatient.They were about to leave, when Xenia heard a growl behind her, “You dare to trick us, by putting pills in the food?” He growled, lunging forward at Xenia.But she was fast, to kick his groin, earning a painful yearn. “Run!” Xenia ordered, fighting the men that kept coming at her.Olivia turned to run, but before she made it, her hair was grabbed and she was pulled back.She cursed, suddenly regretting why she grew her hair long.“Let her go!” Xenia growled
Even though Morgan wasn't in Manila, he was still able to organize a video conference and meeting between the board members of the company.The company had been making rapid and massive sales, contributing to large profit income, especially after the auction.He just ended a call with one of the board members, when he received Chandler's call.“Hey wassup man, what's up with you? You're getting old already, so don't come meet your friends?” Chandler whined.“Scram, if you have nothing better.” Morgan replied with a cold and serious voice.After all, his voice was always like that, but this time it was more cold, especially to Chandler, that he couldn't help but look at the screen to see if he really called Morgan.“You're being so rude right now, what's up with you?” This time he asked, more seriously.“She was kidnapped.” He replied, sharp and blunt.Chandler took some seconds before he said a word, “Where are you right now?” “What do you wanna do?”“Coming there of course, how long
