“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.

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.

Uncle, can you get me more candies and chocolates ?” she begged, as she pouted her small cute lips.Her behavior was so cute that Morgan couldn't help but smile.He ruffled her long, curly hair, as he grabbed her smooth and fair chubby hands and carried her back on his laps.“Hmmh, Uncle will definitely buy them for you. Remember if you eat them too much, they will spoil your teeth” Morgan said, as he patted her hair. “Okay uncle, I love you so much!. This big..” she said, forming her fat fingers into what seem

    Olivia stared at the papers handed to her by the doctor, it was her mom's supposed test result, her eyes blurred with tears. “She needs to be operated on, as soon as possible, else she would lose her life.” “But before that, you'll need to deposit a huge amount of money for her treatment before we can start anything. Do you understand me young lady?” The doctor's words echoed in her ears, yet again and again.She closed her eyes, and all the tears brimming in her eyes fell. When she tasted them it was very bitter, that it felt like her heart was transpired into tears.Once again, she was thrown into the world of despair.

    A man could be seen, pacing around his room. Anger and worry evident on his face.A woman walked in, carrying a tray of food. She kept it on the desk beside the bed and went close to the man.“Honey, are you still bothered about Morgan ?” She asked softly, making her voice as coquettish as it could be.“Why did that asshole choose to come home at this period ?!What made him change his mind so suddenly?!. I can't believe he would go back on his own words”“Whether he comes or not, I'll make sure Klein's industry becomes mine. I worked hard for it, while he was abroad, living an extravagant life.” “Morgan I'll make sure you regret coming home!” Xavier swore through gritted teeth.“Morgan can't possibly take over Klein's industry, Father-in law trusts you now and your mom won't let that happen.”“Now come and eat, the food is getting cold” she smiled and dragged him to sit on the bed.Xavier is Morgan's step brother.After Morgan's mother died while giving birth to him, his father marr

    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
