In a large and quiet cemetery, surrounded with so many graves, Olivia sat in front of her mom's grave, her eyes red and puffy.She stood there, for what seemed like an hour, after which she dropped a bouquet of flowers and managed to drag her foot and turned around, even though they were trying to fight against her.Morgan stood not so far away, watching her petite and fragile body walking towards him, while trying to hold in all the pain and ache she felt deep down.His heart tugged, with emotions he couldn't hold on to, or point out, his jaw tightened as he clenched his fists and watched her walk up to him.Just when he had thought that Olivia was going to hug him and sob in his arms, she walked past him, anf helped herself into the car.When they were back to the mansion, instead of Olivia heading to her room, she sat on the couch in the living room, and turned her gaze towards Morgan, who frowned.“What? What's with the look?”“You know, this is the only thing that's keeping me he
Morgan was in his study room, his gaze and attention focused on his laptop. He hadn't gone to the office for some days, as he was occupied by Olivia's issues and left the work for Nicholas.Xavier had been surprisingly calm since he got out of the cell, but Morgan wasn't one to buy such a trick. He knew Xavier would never change so whatever he was planning or brewing, Morgan knew it wouldn't take a long time to come to light.He was punching his keyboard, when he heard a slight noise from outside the room. He pretended not to hear it and continued but the noise increased, like a footstep, it was either going or coming.Morgan pushed his laptop aside and got up from the chair, he slowly opened the door, as his gaze followed the direction of the footstep. He frowned, when he saw Olivia's petite figure, moving further into the kitchen.He followed her, but stopped before he could enter the kitchen. Rather, he drew out a chair for himself in the dining room and sat down.Olivia, who was u
Morgan was dressed and ready to go to the office, just as he walked out of his room, he saw Olivia dressed formally, as if she were going somewhere. He frowned, his gaze washing over all, “Where are you going?”Olivia was startled, as she didn't expect to see Morgan, she turned to look at him.Damn! His face seems to be getting more manly and handsome each passing day.“Good morning, uhmm…..I'm going to school.” she said, looking everywhere but his face.“You're sure? Cos, if you pass out, you won't be able to stop them from coming to pick you, thereby exposing your little secret.”Olivia shot him a glance, her gaze keen on his face, as if thinking of something. After a moment, she chuckled, “I'm fine, thanks to you for always reminding me to take the tonic.”“And that reminds me, you've taken it?”“Yeah, it was mixed in the tea I had for breakfast.”Morgan nodded, “Let's go then, I'll drop you off.”“What?, No way! I'd rather grab a cab!” She waved him off, as fast as she could.“Ca
Sofia had something important to do, so she left immediately after the class was over. Olivia, went all by herself to the library to read, she was on her way, when she saw Ava come out from one of the empty classrooms.“Hey, miss mistress.” she said, blocking Olivia's way.Olivia frowned, her anger suddenly rising. She shot Ava a glare, “What do you want?”Ava sneered, her hatred for Olivia written all over her face. “What do you want? As if you can offer me anything, that is yours and not from your sugar daddy.”Olivia smiled, she wasn't in the mood for Ava's drama, as everything happening in her life was enough to give her stress.“Can you move away, I have no time for your silly drama right now.” Olivia, brushed past and made to leave, when Ava's next words made her freeze.“Quack me, and be arrogant as much as you want, we both know you're the loser. I have both parents alive, what about you? Tsk” she sneered, twitching her lips, as her gaze was intently fixed on Olivia. She could
Everyone of the students had their gaze fixed on Olivia, as they wanted and waited for her to answer the call.Olivia raised her face to acknowledge the stares directed at her, she quickly slipped the phone into her bag, and went towards the direction the teacher went earlier.“I so much hate how she acts all arrogant and confident.” A girl whispered to her friend.“Tsk, her beauty is such a waste. She should count her stars, that it wasn't me who she fought with, I'll make sure to scratch and distort that face of hers.” “I'm sure, she's getting a suspension or expelled. Redcrest doesn't play with their reputation, especially a clean proof like this.”“Lucy must be gloating, wherever she is right now.” They kept on whispering and gossiping, until Olivia could no longer hear them. She was yet to get into the principal's office, when her phone started vibrating.She took it out and glanced at the screen to see it was Morgan, she looked around her, and when she didn't see anyone, she t
As instructed by Nicholas, Olivia brought her face down, as she walked behind Nicholas. It wasn't long before they reached outside the school, heading to where the car was parked. Olivia could see the press, hovering around the school gate.They couldn't get in, as it was against the school's policy. Olivia, who had her head brought down, could see their feet stomping towards them, their voices chattering, as all of them were saying something. More like throwing questions at Nicholas.“Sir, don't you work for Mr Gilbert? What are you doing in Redcrest High college today?”“Sir, did you watch the video of a student who brutally bullied another student? What's your take on it?”Nicholas ignored their question, as he quickened his pace, to make sure Olivia was inside the car. His plan was successful, before the press could get to the car, Olivia was already inside the car.Morgan's men, who came along with Nicholas, made it easier for him to get into the car, as they were holding back th
Larry's House“Oh my God! Ava, what happened to your face?” Hilda exclaimed, as she helped herself up from the sofa and went toward Ava.Ava sighed and brushed past her mom, as she went to stand in front of the vanity mirror, “I got into a fight with Olivia.” she said, her fingers slowly tracing the marks in her face.“What?!” Hilda snapped and narrowed her eyes at her.“When did I told you to fight with Olivia, I said you should…”“Mom, I'm not even done telling you the details. I'm sorry I took matters into my own hands, at least it's worth it.” She smiled, and turned to face her mom.“I monitored Olivia, as you wanted, but she wasn't even letting a sad emotion show on her face, she was rather happy and all chaty with her friend. Mom, she looks more plump and beautiful, not like someone who lost her mother.”“So?” Hilda asked, curiosity evident on her face.“So, I had to walk up to her and say vengeful and spiteful words against her mom, just to stare at her emotion. Who knew she wa
Larry's House“Mom, I wish I could come with you, but I still have unfinished business in school.”“Shhh, bring your voice down. Your dad is still in the living room.” Hilda whisper-yelled, signaling Ava to bring her voice down.Ava smiled and nodded, “I was done talking anyway. Just wanted to say good luck.” She rolled her eyes and walked out of the room.Hilda smiled, as her gaze followed her exit, Ava was a constant reminder of her younger self as she mirrored her character and appearance.She was getting prepared to go to the hospital, in order to confirm her doubt. She was still applying makeup, when Larry walked into the room.“You have an appointment with the doctor?” he asked, his gaze trailing her figure.Hilda smiled, obviously faking, “Yeah, but that's not the main reason, I want to go to my friend's boutique, she sells nice baby clothes.”“Alright, you still have my credit card right?” “Yes, but…” she paused and frowned, pouting her lips, as she turned to look at him.“Wh
Xavier exchanged a knowing glance with Emily, while she understood and grabbed his palm, squeezing it, as if passing her confidence to him.Xavier was sweating profusely, as he knew that one wrong word from him, would totally and finally ruin his reputation.The surroundings which seemed to be silent and all the onlookers and press had their gaze fixed on Xavier, waiting for him to speak.He cleared his throat and began, “I don't know where to start from, but I want to-”“Hey, get away from him!!”Xavier didn't get to finish what he was about to say when a troop of boys came after the press. Their faces hid behind masks, as they ran towards their direction, with sticks, they pressed scattered immediately, everyone of them, running as far as they could. The boys went towards Xavier, shading him away from the crowd.“What's going on?”Xavier was shocked, as he was surrounded by the boys, who escorted him into the building, while the press were on the run.While all these things happene
A month later, “Mom, I can't stay here any longer, is there really nothing you can do to get me out?” Ava's eyes moistened as she held the bar, separating the both of them.“Don't cry my dear, I'm still looking for a way I'm sure you'll be out sooner than later. That vixen really has Gilbert's son, wrapped around her fingers.”“You mean the young master?”“Yes, he made sure that the officers can't be bribed with money, plus my chance of visiting you has expired. Which means I won't visit you again, till the day of your bail.” Hilda stated, as a sad expression was contoured on her face.“But you've only come here twice, how can he be ruthless? Olivia, that wench!”“Like i said, this is all my fault, I should be the one here not you. But don't worry, I'll find a way for you to get out, okay?”“Okay mommy, what about dad? Does he know?”“No he doesn't. He does not need to know, we'll lose everything the moment he finds out that I killed Lily, I don't want that to happen. That's why I to
Hilda kept fumbling with her phone, unsure of whether to answer or not, but Larry's calls were persistent. With no other option left she took the call.“You took so long to pick the call, is everything alright?” Larry's worried voice echoed in the room.“Sorry about that, yes everything is fine, I just had slight abdominal pain and went to see the doctor. But I'm fine now.” she stated, hiding the nervousness in her voice.“Oh alright. I missed Ava's call multiple times, and now I'm trying to call her back, but she isn't taking her calls. Have you heard from her? Ava hasn't called me in this manner before.”Hilda chuckled, obviously fake, but Larry couldn't see her expression right then. She was thankful that Ava didn't get to speak with him, it was certain that she was going to tell him about Lily's ordeal.“You worry too much, just get back to work, I'll check her myself, ok?”“What about you, aren't you tired?” “No, not really, I can still check up ok my daughter.” “Alright, take
REDCREST COLLEGEAva didn't concentrate in the few hours of the classes, as she kept drifting off to sleep. As she wanted, she now has a lot of fanbase in the school, especially girls who couldn't match her beauty. They begged to be friends with her and even though she only needed rich and high class girls, she couldn't turn them down because of her reputation.With her head, folded into her arms which rested on the desk, oblivious of the teaching going on. Ava was startled when her name was suddenly called out by the teacher. She sat up, and rubbed her eyes, it was then she knew it wasn't the teacher who called her but the school's director.Ava straightened her dress immediately, slightly ashamed of being caught while sleeping, especially by the director.“But why was the director in their class and even had to come call her, by himself, when there are hundreds of people to do it? Could it be related to Olivia's matter?” Ava thought, as she walked her way towards the middle aged dir
Morgan already had the feeling that whatever Hilda was about to say won't go well with his reputation, especially with Olivia's state of mind.So before she could get to say anything, he stopped her, allowing Nicholas to continue with involving the police. Olivia shot Morgan a questioning glance, curious as to why he didn't let Hilda say anything.Morgan squeezed her palms gently and lowered his head to lean close to her ear. “Don't dare to believe any single word that comes out of her mouth, Okay?” Olivia remained silent, barely understanding anything he was trying to say. The doctor seemed to notice and moved towards Olivia.“Mrs, he's right. This woman is selfish and Ostentatious and can say anything just to save herself.”Olivia's gaze darted from the doctor and stopped on Hilda, who returned her gaze, with her brows arched together.Hilda's anxiousness and fear was getting the best of her, but she pretended to be reluctant, hoping deep down that Olivia would ask her to say whate
Hilda widened her eyes in shock, her shock escalated when Morgan got up from his chair and went towards Olivia.“What really could be their relationship? The cold man from earlier disappeared into a caring and calm man, just immediately after Olivia badged in” she thought, her eyes fixed on them.“What are you doing here?” Morgan asked, his gaze fixed on her as he went closer to her.“I get the fact that you're trying to be nice to me, you're trying to fulfill your promise to me, but she's still my mother. You can't do things behind my back, even though I'm sick, I deserve to know.” She stated, slowly, audible enough for only Morgan to hear, since he was close to her.She knew she couldn't talk to him in the public, regardless of their relationship, his reputation and respect was to stand firm in the eyes of the public.Morgan's gaze lingered on her face for a while, his initial anger slowly dissipated. He nodded, but his expression remained aloof, a slight anger etched on the edge of
