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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

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

    “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.“

    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

    Morgan was in the office when he got a call from Olivia.“Speak.” He demanded, after some seconds of silence.“Uhmm, I won't be home tonight.” Olivia hesitated before saying.Morgan frowned, “Why is that?”“I'm sleeping with my mom, I'd be home in the morning.”“You're ditching me right now?” “No..no, I..I, my mom wants me to sleep with her.” Olivia stuttered, suddenly a loss of words.“Alright then. Nicholas will pick you up in the morning.”“Goodnight.” Olivia suddenly added and ended the call.Morgan pulled the phone away from his ears and glanced at the screen, with his brows arched together. A smirk left his lips.Just when he was about to drop his phone, it started vibrating, flashing Olivia's name on the screen.“What?”“In case you need something to eat, there's food in the fridge, you can microwave it.” “Hmmh.” He hummed and ended the call.It was almost midnight when Morgan reached home, he walked into the living room, expecting to see Olivia, but then remembered that she

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.

    “Larry, I know he's lying right?” Hilda quickly asked.Larry looked up at her, “What if he's saying the truth?

Am I really the father of the child you're carrying?”Hilda paused and scanned him.
