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
Olivia was having breakfast with Morgan in the morning. As much as she didn't want to see his face, she knew nothing could be done.Morgan kept stealing glances at Olivia, while she was busy flipping the food over and over, bringing none to her mouth.His eyes wandered to her wrist and paused on a red mark on her wrist, his heart tugged with pain. He quickly looked away and got up to leave.Olivia raised her face to look at him, but he had already turned his back and left, she could only stare at his back.She retracted her gaze and stared at the food for a while before getting up to leave the table. She had thought Morgan was different, he was nice to her even though it was only Contract. But looking back at what happened last night, she took back those words. He was far from nice, he was just like everybody out there, selfish and greedy. And all she was going to do was stay in his silent mansion all day, and pretend to be his wife in public.Nonsense!Olivia was about to get into
Fredrick burst into laughter, as his gaze washed over Olivia, who now furrowed her brows. “Okay sorry, sorry. I don't mean it that way, but how's that even possible?” He said through laughter, as he held his stomach. “What do you mean by that?” Nicholas asked, shooting him a questioning glare. “Morgan I know is everything but women?…talk more about marriage. Nahh, Nicole, I don't believe that.” Fredrick shook his head. “Well then, you've seen with your eyes.” All through the conversation, Olivia's mind has been drifting back to what Aunt Maureen said. Is he really a gay? “Why do you not believe it?” Olivia suddenly asked, glancing at Fredrick. He smiled softly and began. “I and Morgan were in the same College, we schooled together in the States. I've known that dude for way too long, he's so abstinent when it comes to women that I sometimes wonder if he could get a wife. You need to see tropes of girls that flocked themselves around him then, but he wouldn't even bu
It was raining heavily in Morning, Olivia was cuddled up in her bed, thinking about many things. From the possibilities of Morgan being a gay to going back to school.Olivia was happy, she was finally getting back to school, and Rescrest for the matter. Her lips tugged with smile as she couldn't wait.She was still thinking when her mom came into her mind, her mood dropped. The vegetative state her mother was in, were all caused by Larry and she'd forever hate it.Olivia was at least glad that she ran into Morgan, though he couldn't be tagged as good.Someone knocked on her door, snapping her out of her thoughts. Shortly the door was opened and Nicholas walked in, he was carrying a set of packaged clothes and a box.“Good morning Nick,” Olivia yawned, getting up from bed.Nicholas seems to pause for a while, his gaze snapping at Olivia. Olivia, who seemed to notice his sudden change let out a laugh.“You shouldn't be like this all the time. You remember Ava calling you an old man?, th
Evaris Lounge, A black Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, pulled up In Front of the night club, with Olivia and Morgan walking out of the car.Nicholas was already ahead of them, pushing away the piles of press, who were gathered with the flashing light of their cameras.Olivia suddenly became tense, her palms becoming sweaty as she looked away from the camera. Her face can't be shown in the news headline, only that way would be fine even after ending the contract with Morgan.Morgan, who noticed her obvious change, shot her a questioning glance. She shook her head, returning an assuring yet fake smile.Soon they were inside the club. Normally, Morgan wouldn't sit in an area where he was easily recognized or within reach.He took the elevator, which brought him to the top floor of the building, the VIP section of the club.Finally they were in a presidential room, which screamed of affluence and extravagant luxury.Olivia was met with two men, they were dressed so casually, yet maintained a
Later that night, Morgan woke up and carried Olivia into his bed. She whined, twitching her face in the process, but later relaxed.Meanwhile, Morgan watched her closely, his eyes studying every inch of her face.His heart fluttered, for nothing else but for the tiny figure occupying his bed. He pulled her closer, holding her waist as he leaned his face into her nook, inhaling her pleasant smell, until he slept off.******Xavier sat on his couch, his gaze fixed on the led plasma television hung in his extravagantly furnished sitting room.He was about to turn it off and leave for work, when a headline caught his attention.YOUNG MASTER MORGAN WAS SEEN WITH A WOMAN LAST NIGHT AT A NIGHTCLUB. AS THE WOMAN'S FACE REMAINS UNKNOWN, NETIZENS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO THE WOMAN IS….Xavier frowned, his mind drifting back to the girl he saw in the hospital, as Morgan's wife. Could she really be Morgan's wife? They didn't even have a wedding…Who exactly was this girl?Xavier thought as a bad id
THE BILLIONAIRE'S DEEPEST DESIRE 1Amelia's heart hammered against her chest, each beat thumping loud, as if it was going to jump out of her chest. Her footsteps slowed as she approached Liam's room, a sudden, inexplicable feeling of horror cursing through her body. The closer she got, the more the chaotic mess of clothes on the floor caught her eye, feminine clothes, lingeries, heels, purse, thrown carelessly, all of them leading her to one door— Liam's room.Her breath hitched, as she stopped in her tracks, her mind racing wildly. No. This can't be happening.Liam had been working late for days, as there was much work in the company, and he drowned himself in his business. He shouldn't be home yet, he was supposed to be in the office right now, she thought. She had planned this evening so carefully, wanting it to be perfect for him, for them, after all it was both their anniversary and his birthday. She had wanted to surprise him with a special night, to show him how much she cared,
Epilogue“Do you, Morgan Gilbert, take Olivia Winters as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, to love and cherish, till death do you apart?” The priest's voice echoed in the large hall.Morgan's eyes shimmered with love as they gazed into Olivia's eyes, who's face was flushed and her lips marred with the most loving smile.“Yes, I do.” He stated, still holding her gaze.******The city was all smiles, as their heartthrob, Morgan had finally settled with his beautiful bride. Their luxurious wedding was the talk of the town.All their rivals and enemies had gotten their own share of Karma.For Xavier;Cherry had one time overheard Morgan and Olivia talking about what Xavier did, even when he killed her mom. Her hatred grew intense.She sneaked out a phone and texted Xavier, complaining that she doesn't want to stay with Morgan anymore, that she wanted to come to him. Xavier fell for words and told her where she would come so he could come pick her up.
It was past five days already, Morgan hadn't left Olivia ward even for a second, his gaze was fixed on her figure as he watched her day and night trying to recuperate.Cherry was brought and taken back by Nicholas, who buys everything that's needed for Morgan. 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. The doctor had already done their part, they were now waiting for her to wake up, which seems to be taking longer than Morgan had expected.On the fourth night of her being in coma, Morgan went to kneel beside her bed, he grabbed her hands, staring into her face, at that point he knew he had fallen for her. Contract or not, he wasn't going to let her go, not even after bringing out a side of him that he's been hiding in a shell all these years.“Do you really not want to wake up? you enjoy scaring me don't you?
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! Mom, that was fast! 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. Even in her
Xavier and Cecilia left Manila, when they got the news about old Gilbert's death. Before then Cecilia's already sold one of his houses, as she only had the documents to it.Morgan was in his office when Nicholas knocked on the door, he hummed, signaling him to come in. 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
Olivia woke up very early in the morning, she had issues sleeping properly at night, her child wasn't making it any easier, as the kicks were getting stronger, plus she missed Morgan's presence, even though she wouldn't admit it.She reached for her phone, about to dial his number when a video caption caught her attention. She tapped on the video, her eyes widened in shock, as surprise yet excitement was smeared on her face.She quickly checked the comment section, indeed internet users are unpredictable, she giggled while reading the comments.Who could have uploaded the video? How was someone even able to retrieve the complete video?Olivia was very happy about the video she just watched, at least everyone will get to see who Ava really is, and her name can finally be cleared.Meanwhile, Ava, who had recently been released from the cell, was at home with her, discussing her next plan on dealing with Olivia. They were still into the conversation when her phone rang, she saw it was fr
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. And when he told him to leave even after hearing his request, he thought he was going to really leave, then again he was disappointed that he went to sit under the oak tree and was waiting for him, and now it had gotten
