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
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
“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
“Larry, don't be like this, I'm your wife and Olly is our daughter…”“So? Does that mean you could be useless and become a liability to me? You laze around all day, expecting me to believe your petty lie of being sick, ha! dream on!”“What nonsense are you saying, huh?, You know better than anyone else that I worked hard to make sure there's food on the table for everyone. Was it my fault that I got sick? Answer me!”Olivia could hear her parents arguing voices from the bedroom, she opened her eyes, sat up and reached for her foot wear in the cramped dimly lit room.She walked out of the room, and slowly went towards the sitting room.She stopped at the back of the slightly opened door, poked out her head to peep at her parents.Her gaze stopped on her mom, who sat lazily on the couch, with a solemn expression.Lately her mom's illness has been deteriorating, making her pale and easily exhausted.All she knew was that her mom was sick, but didn't know the cause of the illness. Her bo
Klein's Mansion,“Uncle Morgan, aren't we going to see grandpa today?” Cherry whined, as she tilted her head, to look at Morgan's face.“No,” he replied with a grim expression.“But I want to see grandpa today, won't grandpa scold you for not coming to see him ?” She asked, while trying to jump down from Morgan's laps.“Don't you want to eat Candies anymore?” “ I love candies so much, Mum said candies would spoil my teeth, but I don't believe mummy, I'll keep on eating them. 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. Her mom is diagnosed with a brain tumor and needs urgent operation, but where is she going to get that kind of money, which the doctor is requesting for ?.Olivia wiped her tears, she folded the paper into a small block. She got up and went into her mom's ward.The pale woman was still sound asleep. She could barely talk nor could she move her body. Olivia loung
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
Three weeks later,Olivia came back from work, she hurried into her mom's ward.She got a call from one of the nurses that her mom's illness was acting up again, then she had to round up her shift and hurried back to the hospital.Her eyes widened in shock, when she couldn't find her mom in the ward. Her heart raced wildly as she thought of all possible things that could happen to her mother.She came out of the ward, about to head to the doctor's office when she bumped into one of the nurses.“I'm so so sorry ma'am” her apologetic voice came out in a haggard pants.“You're Mrs Winter's daughter ?” The nurse asked softly.“Yes! Yes! She's my mother. What happened to her ? She nodded, her eyes ajar as she stared at the nurse.“Follow me then…” The nurse turned around and went ahead, while Olivia followed suit.Doctor's office,Olivia could feel her body fridgetting from curiosity and anxiousness. Her eyes were fixed wildly at the doctor as he sat down.The young man took a deep breath

A week gone,Old Gilbert's health was getting worse, Morgan had communicated with all famous and professional doctors in the city, and none could tell what was wrong with him.He told Olivia to go with Charry to visit him in the hospital, as he wanted to travel out of the city, Frederick told him about a retired doctor in another country, but it was a mission impossible as Frederick said the doctor doesn't accept people coming to him for help. Morgan, headstrong, decided to try first.Although Morgan left early for China, he arrived very late in the night, and slept over at the hotel Nicholas had already booked. The next day, he traced the old man's house and went to visit him. As he had expected a retired doctor to live in a mansion and luxurious environment, his expectations were trampled upon, as the old man lived in a small house, not old but simple and classic.When Morgan used the doorbell, two men dressed in the same tailored suit, opened the door. The dark lens they were on
“Does that have anything to do with what you want to say?” Morgan asked, oblivious to her tears.‘'Was she not the one that fell in love with him and married him?’“Yess! He doesn't want me to say a word, why will Xavier go for parents??” Her sob Intensified “Which city are your parents in?”She was about to say something, when her phone beeped with an incoming message, she hastily read it, with her breath caught in her throat, she stood up and grabbed her bag.“I'm so sorry, I have to leave!” She said between choked sobs.“That was Xavier, right? If you don't say anything, how do you expect me to help you?” Morgan's cold words rang in her ear.She paused and gulped hard, the context of the message replaying in her head, “I'm sorry, I don't need your help and please, I don't need any of your men following me. Thank you.”With that, she hurriedly stumbled out, not even looking back. 'If Xavier could go as far as holding her family hostage just to keep her mouth shut, then what she wa
Xavier wasn't in the mood to take calls, he needed to get to Stacy at all cost. Meanwhile, Stacy, who couldn't hold in what's bothering her for a long time, decided to tell everything to Morgan. She was out and ready to get things over with Xavier, he was no longer the Xavier she knew.Earlier in the morning, Morgan informed Olivia about Cherry's visit, he had a feeling that Cherry will get along with Olivia. It wasn't long before Stacy arrived at Morgan's residence with Cherry, she decided to drop Cherry off and leave to find Morgan directly in the company rather than waiting for him in the evening. But Olivia was sweet and persuaded that she stay and wait for Morgan, since he won't be working over time.“Pretty aunty, are you uncle Morgan's girlfriend?” Cherry asked, as soon as she walked inside and sat close to Olivia.“Cherry! Come here!” Stacy, feeling ashamed, scolded her to come and sit next to her.Olivia smiled softly, examining the little girl's beautiful features and larg
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
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
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
