“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

    The hospital staff couldn't believe their eyes, when they saw Morgan come out the ward, carrying Olivia in his arms.Some of them who were secretly crushing on him, couldn't hold in their hatred towards Olivia.Under the prying eyes of people around, Morgan carried her into the car. He also came in to sit beside her.“You didn't have to carry me like that, I mean, how do you expect me to come here next time?” Olivia whined, as she glared at Morgan.Morgan turned to look at her, his gaze roaming around her face, he let out a low chuckle.“Why's your face so red? It could be mistaken as a tomato.” He smiled, tugging his collar.“It's all your fault, you didn't have to be so touchy and clingy, spouting rubbish with your mouth.” Nicolas wasn't used to this side of Morgan, he was obviously teasing and enjoying Olivia's whining.“Being too touchy and spouting nonsense was part of the act, besides you shouldn't be acting like this, haven't you been touched by a man?” Olivia choked, looking

    In a high end restaurant, with luxurious and expensive decor, Xavier was seen, sitting at a table. He was dressed in a black-custom made suit, his dark inky hair, shaved and styled to fall by the side. His eyes shimmered with pride and excitement. Tonight, he was going to sign and finalize the deal with Mr. Marco, which was finally going to give him an upper hand over Morgan. He smiled at the mere thought of it, just then he caught sight of Franco, walking in with a group of two men. Xavier slightly frowned, because he didn't see Mr. Marco come in with them. Did he already back out? His inner mind question, but he shook off as soon as they came closer to his table. Xavier stood up, with a broad smile, plastered on his face. He stretched forth his hand, exchanging greetings. The men nodded as they returned his smile, sitting on the chair pulled out by Franco. “I suppose you are Xavier Gilbert.” Louis said, with a deep Philippine accent. “Yes I am.” Xavier nodded. The other man

    Olivia flinched, looking everywhere but his face.“Why do you want to terminate the contract?” Morgan asked, retreating from his steps as he walked towards her.“You never told me, i-i I'd get to bear a child for you. Is that not cheating?” Olivia stated, this time staring at his face, which was very close to her.“It’s not like I'd tell you the details of the contract, when I was going to just give it to you to read. How's that cheating?”Olivia was lost of words, Morgan was right. If actually she read the contract initially this wouldn't have happened. But she couldn't let Morgan win.“Now that I've read it, I want to terminate it. I can't bear a child for you. Never.” Olivia shook her head.Morgan let out a low chuckle, his gaze now staring at Olivia with amusement and interest.“And why's that?” Olivia shot him a glance, as if he was growing horns in his head.“I can't bear you child, and that's final. Can't we just end the contract and you'd look for another girl?”Morgan stared

    Olivia got back into the queue after helping Emma, although she left, not wanting to join the audition again.As time went on, the long straight line was getting smaller. Several girls who were disqualified were trooping out of the building, their faces scrunched in anger.Just as they kept going, joining the line as it shortens, Olivia heard whispers at her back.“Omg how can she be dressed as a tomboy and come for an audition?” “Valerie, you're just so jealous. Look, she's beautiful and has a nice figure from the back. Look at those smooth long legs!”“Nonsense! Who's jealous? She's just lucky to have a nice body, who knows, her face might be too ugly.” She sneered.Just then, Olivia turned to look at them, they were obviously discussing her, as if she wasn't there.“Oh my god!” the girl who defended her earlier gasped, widening her eyes in shock.The girl who seems to be Valerie paused, suddenly knitting her brows, as she stared at Olivia dumbfounded.“Don't you think it's unwise

At some point the doctor begged him to leave, to get some rest, that he'll be informed once there was any improvement. He paid no heed to their words and remained there.He already lost his father, his child, but not her.

    Olivia was finally losing it, she couldn't hope on anyone to come to her aid, Morgan was said to be involved in a car explosion and was dead. Deep down, she hoped it was a lie, it was all in her dream, but the reality was so hard on her, as the coldness of the room hit her system.Maybe she really was meant to be left alone by everyone who cared about her and to die miserably. Tears left her eyes, as she clutched her stomach, “I'm sorry baby, mommy couldn't bring you into the world, mom has failed you.” She sobbed, her heart breaking into several pieces, as her head was lowered to look at her big bump.“If there will be a next world for mommy, I promise to compensate you. I love you, my child, my baby.” Her sobbing was slowly fading, as she coiled on the extremely cold floor, hugging her stomach tightly. She was slowly losing her consciousness, as her shivering body began trembling violently. ******“Sir, I can't get to her, she's not taking the calls.” Nicholas reported worriedly.

    Ava and her mom didn't leave Manila, Lorenzo happened to have an apartment in the city, so they stayed with him, waiting for Ava's scandal to calm down.“Mom! Mom! Mom! Come have a look!” Ava ran to her mother's room, as her face was filled with excitement. “What's that dear?”Ava brought her phone to her mother, “The news says Mr Morgan is dead. He died from a car explosion, maybe someone planted a bomb into his car.”“Oh my, isn't he Olivia's sugar daddy?”“That's exactly my point! Don't you think luck has been on our side? this is our chance to ruin her forever then we'll leave Manilla.”Hilda smiled, “I already have a plan for her.” She pulled Ava close and whispered into her ear.“Wow!

Let's see how she'll unite with her dad and live a decent life.” She sneered.******Olivia glanced at the phone's screen, the caller was from an unknown number, so she swiped to answer the call.“Hello Olivia Winters,”Olivia frowned, the voice extremely familiar.

Nicholas walked towards Morgan and whispered into his ear, and Morgan frowned.“Let her in.” His cold voice demanded.Nicholas nodded, and left. Not long after he left he returned with a woman, who seemed to be in her middle age, her eyes were red and her face marred with guilt and remorse.Morgan paused, his gaze quickly darting to her as he coldly seized her up. The woman lowered her head, not daring to meet his piercing gaze, as they sent chills to her. The atmosphere in the office was tense and thick, even Nicholas didn't dare to breathe.“What do you want?” he suddenly asked, breaking the silence.The woman suddenly broke into tears, as she fell to her knees. Morgan's frown got deeper, “Do you think I have all the

    “Larry, I know he's lying right?” Hilda quickly asked.Larry looked up at her, “What if he's saying the truth? What are you going to do?”“Leave you of course.” Lorenzo's voice teased.“That doesn't matter Larry, answer the damn question!” Hilda panicked and an impatient voice sounded, as she reached out to grab his phone.“Oh my God, no way!” Hilda's eyes were in shock, as she stared at Larry's phone, obviously his bank balance.“When were you going to tell us? How did that even happen?” Her previous apologetic voice completely vanished, replaced with a sharp and angry voice.“Don't change the topic, who's Ava's father? Am I really the father of the child you're carrying?”Hilda paused and scanned him. Larry has become poor, there's nothing she wants with him again, she can't bear to suffer with Ava and her unborn child, besides the child wasn't his own to start with. She decided to come clean instead of beating around the bush.“Look Larry, I'm really sorry that you have to find thi

    After Morgan ended the call with Olivia, he smiled lightly and rested his head on the chair he sat on.The sky was getting darker, yet no one came to him, he sat there, his gaze darting to the house, the lights were still on, a coil smile formed on his lips and he retracted his gaze.Meanwhile inside the house, Mr Kim, asked one of his guards to check if Morgan was still sitting there. The man came back and nodded, reporting that he was still seated there. Mr Kim frowned and got up to see for himself, he looked through his window for a while and returned to his seat Earlier when his guards informed him that someone was looking for him, he purposely spent a lot of time coming out just to taste his patience, but it seems standing and waiting for long didn't bother him.
