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
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
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
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
Morgan left the office pretty early, as he was going to take Olivia to the hospital for check up, Frederick was out of town.Olivia was dressed pretty in a long pink flay gown, with a small cup hand and V- neckline. She tied her hair into a lazy bun, as few curly strands fell across her face, giving her the glow of youthfulness and untainted beauty. Just like a flower.She sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the large led screen in the living room, she seemed too focused and interested in whatever she was watching.Morgan had been so protective yet attentive towards her, that he wouldn't even let her do anything on her own, as he was scared she might get hurt or hurt the baby.All Olivia did was sleep, wake up, eat and got back to sleep. He even went as far as packing everything in her room to his, and locked the room, giving her no other option but to settle and sleep in his room.She was really gaining more flesh and plump!Olivia was still focused on the television, when Morgan's s
Nicholas didn't get the chance to tell Morgan about what he found out, so he decided to look into it on his own, and then report to his boss, when he's done. So as not to get their hopes high.Morgan decided to stay home with Olivia, even though she refused, saying she was okay. But Morgan, being Morgan, didn't buy that, and Insisted.Olivia had already changed into casual wear, and went to the living room to sit. Unknown to her, Morgan had already hired the best chef in the whole of Manila to come cook in the house for the whole day.He walked out of his study room, dressed casually in a black round neck polo, and black denim shorts, looking young and graceful. Olivia looked away immediately, not wanting to meet with his gaze.He seemed to notice and chuckled, coming to sit beside her, She swallowed immediately as his cologne wafted into her nose. “You can sit elsewhere, you know?” She finally voiced out, unable to hold in her internal turmoil.Morgan paused and turned to look at he
Olivia woke up to find Morgan gone, her groggy gaze roamed around the room, she touched the side he laid and it was cold, signifying he's been gone for a long time.Images from what happened last night flooded into her head and she blushed. She still couldn't believe how things felt nice and escalated between them leading them to have a passionate night.Her stomach grumbled, reminding her that she hadn't had anything to eat since last night. She gently got up from the bed, it was then that she realized she was draped inside Morgan's oversized polo, she smiled and walked out of the room.Olivia hadn't even reach the living room, when a mouth watering aroma wafted into her nose, making her hungry body escalate. She dashed to dining room, not seeing any sign of Morgan or anybody.“Morgan, Morgan!” She called, walking slowly towards the kitchen, but got no answer.“Who's there? Morgan? Nicholas?” Still not getting any reply, she decided to go see for herself, just as she was about to en
Stacy shook head, tears streaming down her face. No matter what happens tonight, she vowed not to tell Xavier anything, he'd kill her straight away, so she kept her lips.“Stacy Adams-” She looked up to him smiling menacingly, “If I keep beating you, you won't think twice and do what?”“N-nothing, I swear, it's nothing-” “Really?”She nodded sharply, he was about to charge at her, when a soft cry broke out in the room. They both paused, and turned to see Cherry's little boys, her face was red and stained with tears. The next second she ran towards her mom, hugging her thighs, as she sobbed into them.“Daddy, why do you keep beating mommy? Do you not love us anymore?” She sobbed and turned to look at Xavier, whose face seemed to fall a little.Without saying a word, he turned and stormed off the room in large strides. It was then that Stacy fell to the ground and cried miserably. All these while she's been assuring herself with hopes that Xavier will one day come to love her back, bu
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
