The two unknown individuals, who were competing for the dress with a difference of 5 hundred thousand, had their respective numbers as 007 the first bidder and 205, the second bidder.“4 million pesos” The whispers and murmurs grew louder. It was still shocking to them, how someone would be willing to spend such an amount on the dress. The worst part was that they couldn't see his/her face, as their number was used to represent them.Some minutes passed and no one else said anything, not even the second bidder. Just when everyone thought he/she had won and the auctioneer was about to declare the first bidder as the winner, he stopped abruptly.“20 Million pesos!” Everywhere fell silent, as they watched the screen. The number of this particular bidder was different, from the previous people, he/she was different.They turned their heads around, in hopes of seeing the person, but it was just their delusive thinking.Meanwhile, in the room, Olivia glanced at Morgan, when she saw twenty
Xavier was still in a meeting, when he got a call from his mother.“Son, where are you?” “I'm in Seattle, I told you I'd be traveling right?” Morgan answered, making an apologetic sign at the men, who sat on the table with him.He got up and went out a bit from the table to take his mom's call.“Aren't you supposed to meet with Mr Marco?” Cecilia asked, her heart thumping, as her patience was already running out.“Yes mom, but he sent two of his men to represent him, as he couldn't come because of some health issues.”“Well, that's a lie son. Marco is in Manila, he hosted a fashion auction and exhibition with Morgan in Quezon City. My friends sent me the photos.” “No way! This can't be true. Mom, send the photos to me.” Xavier said, his breath getting heavy as his heart began to pound.He turned around to sight Marco's men, but they were gone.What?Xavier furrowed his brows, as he went closer, his eyes darting around the whole place, but he couldn't find them.He stopped a waiter,
Olivia hadn't realized how badly she wanted his lips on hers, until then. Morgan pressed his body firmly against her, as he picked her up, so that her legs were wrapped around his torso and her back pressed against the marble wall.Morgan kissed her with hunger, but softly enough that she could feel the pressure on her swollen lips.Olivia's urge to feel him on her was so intense, that she wished she could crawl into his skin. He kissed her neck, down to her chest, as he slowly did away with her dress.He laid her on the bed, bringing his mouth to her now exposed cleavage, as he sucked on her breast, squeezing both of them, close together.Olivia couldn't help what she was feeling, her body felt like it totally didn't belong to her, as she felt sweet and pleasures she hadn't felt before. She coiled her legs around his waist, arching her back, as he sucked and licked every flesh on her breasts.Morgan smiled, when he glanced at her pleasured face, her eyes were closed, as her lashes w
“Son, we need to act fast, Morgan would surely get Gilbert's approval, once he tells him about the cooperation with Marco.” Cecilia pointed out, pacing around the room as she racked her brain for ideas.“I think it's time I use the other method. I can't be under Morgan, never!” Xavier challenged through gritted teeth.Xavier decided to call Mr Marco's number for the nth time, he's been calling him and his number wasn't getting through.After one ring, his line went through. A deep and matured voice answered.“Hello, Mr Marco?”“Who's this?” The man asked.“It's Xavier Gilbert. I thought we had a deal and you promised to cooperate with me, by buying a share from my company and to help me establish a branch in America. What happened?” “I'm sorry, but the only Gilbert I know is Morgan Gilbert. I don't think I've talked with you before.”“What? Didn't you send your assistants to me, to come represent you, since you couldn't make it?” Xavier asked, getting furious, not confused.“You've g
Olivia woke up with a splitting headache and uncomfortable ache which cursed through her body, especially down there.She slowly sat up, only to find out that she was tucked into Morgan's robe, and then images from last night flooded into her head.Olivia gasped, covering her mouth as her face turned bright red. She still couldn't believe that she had sex with Morgan.Thank goodness, he wasn't in the room, if not Olivia didn't know how to face him. She grabbed her phone to check the time, it was almost midday.Gosh, did she really sleep that long?Anyways, it was somehow good, as she didn't get to see Morgan, else she didn't know what to do or how to behave. **Redcrest High collage**“Oh my God! Olly you need to see how everywhere was crowded with wealthy socialites. Would you believe it if I told you that I saw Bianca Idris?!” Sofia couldn't help how excited she was, as she told Olivia about the auction.Unknown to her, Olivia was present, but because she was with Morgan, th
Olivia crouched down behind her door, her tears rolling down her cheeks as she wiped them.She was in the delusion that things were smoothening out and turning out well, between her and Morgan, but it turned out to be extravagant thinking.Morgan's words alone were enough to wake her up from any kind of trance she was in. Now that she understood that he's doing everything because of the contract, which would end some years later.Olivia vowed to shake off every feeling that was growing deep inside her, be it his act of tenderness and care, she was going to act ignorant of it, until their Contract was over.She was still in her thoughts, when she slept off.Later, in the morning when Olivia woke up, she found herself in Morgan's room, but he wasn't there and the bed was cold, indicating he's been gone for a long time.Olivia got up immediately, her eyes darting around the room as it stopped on the wall clock to check the time.She still couldn't believe how she ended up in his room. Bu
Olivia's eyes were tied, immediately the ship halted, indicating to have reached their destination. She could hear distant male voices but couldn't make out what they were saying.She was brought to a large and beautiful Villa. It was surrounded by water, as it was the only house which could be found there.The man who adopted her, brought her into a room, after which he untied her, including her eyes.Olivia glanced at him, hatred seething from her heart. “You could've just left me all tied up, what's the need of untying me. Petty adopter.” She hissed, looking away.The man slammed the door and left, Ignoring her words, even though it did make him feel bitter.Olivia's eyes scanned the room as she took in the elegant and expensive decor of the room. If a kidnapper could keep her in a room like that, then they really weren't going to harm her or maybe it was her extravagant thinking.The room was whitish, as everything in the room screamed of brightness. Olivia and her bag was the onl
Morgan was in the doctor's office, he had told Nicholas to go through all his conversation and previous calls.As confused as the doctor was, he couldn't say no to Morgan and let them search his phone. His recent calls showed that he called Olivia earlier that morning.“How come?” Morgan asked, his dark gaze scrutinizing him.It was possible that anyone could bribe the doctor to call Olivia that morning. Morgan knew he was better than that, but right then, Olivia was concerned, the matter was about her.“I swear I know nothing about this call, I didn't call her in the morning.” He defended, shaking his head in refusal.“If so, think very well, did you bump into someone who seems suspicious?” Nicholas chipped in.The doctor paused, his brows knitted slightly as he racked his brains, to recall how his day went.He shook his head, not recalling anything out of place, just then, he remembered something.“All I could remember is bumping into a man, but there's nothing usual about him. He e
Gilbert's ward**“Don't tell me you came here for Xavier, if yes, then leave, matter has already been decided on.”“I haven't come for Xavier, I know you've already made up your mind and I can't go against it. Anyways I brought your favorite meal, it's been a while and I decided to prepare it.” Cecilia smiled, bringing out the food flak that was in her bag.Gilbert shot her a glance, his gaze scrutinizing her smiley face. “You know, you don't need to do that to win my favor.”“Oh come on Gilbert, I'm not trying to win your favor, I just thought that it has been a while since I made you your favorite. So, I made it and brought it to you.” She smiled, making her voice as soft and coquettish as it could be, as she moved her chair near him.Gilbert chuckled, the Cecilia he knew would never prepare something for herself not to talk of person, especially him. She leaves all the chores for the maids in the mansion, and whenever she does something for him, she surely was wanting to ask for a
“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
