Morgan's POV:"Morgan!" Sabrina shouted as she burst into my office,her voice full of urgency. "What is going on?!"I looked up from my phone. "What exactly are you talking about?"She slammed her hands down on my desk, her yee burning into mine. "It's all over the Internet."I rubbed my temples. "Please don't ask me if I have cancer, it won't be very funny hearing that come from you.""I wasn't going to ask you that. We have to go, now.""Go where?""An emergency board meeting has been called."I blinked. Oh, that didn't take them very long ago all. I bet they're all dying to eat this up. "Very well." I got to my feet. "Let's go."***The moment I stepped into the conference hall, I could feel the heavy cloud of tension in the air. The hushed conversations that had been floating around came to a stand still and all eyes turned to me. "Good day everyone." I said, taking my time to observe all their faces. Safe to say, they did not look pleased at all. "Miss Rosewood," Liam, the old

discord

Morgan's pov:"What did you just do?" Sabrina asked, her tone carrying a distinct chill that I recognized. She sounded like my father, when he was very pissed. I shoved down my inhibitions and maintained a glower. "I asked you a question first." Sabrina turned to Nora who was looking at us with a bewildered expression. "Could you excuse us, please?" Sabrina said in a tone that dripped sweet saccharine. Nora looked at me. I gave her an encouraging nod, signaling that it was okay for her to leave. She turned and walked out, the door closing behind her. I faced Sabrina again."Well?" She asked, her head cocked to the side. "What was that just now, Morgan?""Sabrina, now isn't the time to play word games. I asked you, what are you hiding from me?!""Hiding?" She scoffed a bitter laugh. "You know, Morgan, I've been really cool about all of this. You know that , right?"I narrowed my eyes at her. "That wasn't an answer, Sabrina. And you know it.""Hiding anything from you? Why would I ha

sweepers

MORGAN'S POV:"I can't believe you think I would do such a thing." Dante said. He looked hurt, and I didn't care how he looked.I walked over to my desk and took my handbag. "Either way," I said to him. "I'll figure out who did it. Have a wonderful day, Mr Fontaine. I'm sure you can see yourself out.""Morgan, listen to me." "I don't have to listen to any word that comes out of your mouth, Mr Fontaine." I stood by the open door. "The only business we have together is as business partners. Remember your place."His eyes widened. "Hey, that's uncalled for. I'm here to help you.""Help me with what?""I don't know." He shrugged. "There's been a smear campaign launched against you. I can help you with that. I have a team, we can...""No thank you." I replied calmly. "I can handle this myself. I have a team too, and right now we're working on it.""Morgan," He took a step forward"Get out or I'll throw you out with security." I spat. He looked at me long and hard. Then without any furth

head of security

Morgan's POV:"Daddy I'm working on it." I said, meeting my father halfway up. He was red in the face with anger, his lips curled into a snarl."Working on it!" He exploded. "I just saw everyone leaving!""I asked them to go home it's not safe for them here.""You dismissed your workers?! So you have any idea what you've done, how much we could lose!""We will continue to lose more if these rumours aren't addressed!"He pulled back, his eyes narrowed at me. I turned to the tech team, and they all had looks of discomfort all over their faces. I turned back to my father. "I'm sorry, you may leave now."That was all it took for them to scramble out of the conference room. Now it was just I and my father. "Morgan, I told you several times to keep yourself clean. I told you." He said, his voice low with caution."I know, I did all of that. This....this is not me. It's a smear campaign." I said. His eyes narrowed. And for a moment I wondered if he was reconsidering my skills and expertis

unwanted heat

Morgan's POV:"Well since you're here," I said, ignoring his previous comment. "We can go right into the annulment of the contract.""There will be no annulment, Morgan. You're not going anywhere. "My eye twitched. Is this how he wants to play this game? Very well. I'll show him what it's like."Good. Now about this whole defamation stunt launched against you, I have a group of men looking into it and—""Wow," I laughed, stunned at what he had just said. "Your arrogance hasn't dulled one bit."He frowned, his head cocked to the side. "Whatever do you mean by that?""Oh now you're playing dumb too!" I sighed in exasperation. "The audacity to assume that I cannot handle matters concerning my company myself. What? You want to show me how much I need to be dependent to you? Just like I was all those years ago?""That's not the case here. I'm not trying to...""But you are!" I cut him off. "Let this be very clear, I can handle this. This is my company, and not yours. My affairs are mine t

dark text

Morgan's POV:"Well, that went to hell." Sabrina groaned. She plopped down on the chair, nearly toppling over with the force she used. She raised her hands in defeat and slammed them down on her thighs.I perched on the edge of my desk, a headache brewing in my head like a large storm. The press conference had in one word — flopped. It looked like it was another attempt by whoever planned this to destroy me. My reputation, my name, everything was in the mud."It should blow over soon." Sabrina said. "People have short attention span these days. By end of the week, this should have been over.""Yeah right." I chuckled to myself. "You're not aware of how things run in this cut throat world of ours."Her eyes met mine and she bit her lip. "Do you have any enemies?"The question made me pause. "Yes. A lot in fact.""Any of them you think can do this?""Yes, some of them. But I would know if any of them were behind this." I took my phone out of my pocket. It vibrated with a message. I op

an apple a day...

Morgan's POV:My head hurts. It feels like the twins are playing soccer with a metal ball and it's bouncing off the walls of my head. My eyes flickered open, the bright light in the room making me squint and squeeze my eyes shut. The smell of disinfectant hung in the air hidden under notes of flowers and vanilla.Disinfectant?I opened my eyes, taking a while before my vision focused. I looked around me, taking in my surroundings. The large window that was open letting in unholy amounts of light and fresh air. A nightstand that had a large bouquet of red roses, infact flowers were all around me. A hospital room. A private ward for that. I looked down at my hand, the IV connected to my veins. My hand looked weird, so small and thin. I swallowed thickly, My throat dry as the desert.The door opened and hurried footsteps rushed in. "Morgan! You're awake.""No shit." Were the first words that tumbled out of my mouth.I looked up at who walked din and felt guilty twist in my guts at my

you crying?

Morgan's POV;"Get your hands off her." Dante seethed, storming his way into the hospital room. "Can you just mind your own business?" I snapped at him, annoyed with his intrusion. The color in my face became that of anger as I glared at him.He looked at me briefly before he turned to Winston. "Get out." "Get out?" Winston laughed. "Mr Fontaine, you should really watch yourself. Miss Rosewood is my patient, and I do not take orders from you.""Your patient?! I didn't bring her here! Tell me how that happened huh?!""Dante, you're being a pain right now. You should get out. I don't want to see you here."He turned to me, a spark of annoyance in his eyes. "You're awake now. We're leaving." He said and grabbed my arm, yanking me towards him. I cried out, lost my balance and came crashing into his chest. I gasped, my nose exploding in pain as I slammed into his chest. "Morgan,""Have you lost your damned mind?!" I screamed, shoving him away. "That's enough now," Winston came up in fro

to need you

MORGAN'S POV;You need help?Three simple words that are more mocking than anything I've ever heard before. You need help?Meaning that they know what's going on. They've probably seen all the news and social media posts. And now they think it's fine to text me out of the blue, gloating and asking if I need help.Ridiculous. "Morgan?" Sabrina's voice pulled me out of my dark thoughts."I need to get some rest now." I said without looking at her. She got to her feet. "That's fine, I shouldn't have kept you up so late anyway"I wanted to tell her that it wasn't her fault, but my words wouldn't corporate. My phone dinged with another text, except that it wasn't from them. Dante. I deleted it before I could even open it. Sabrina walked out of the room, silence in her wake. I turned the screen of my phone off and pressed it to my chest. After this all blows over and calms down, I want to take a very long vacation. I haven't taken any in the past four years now. Go somewhere with a lot

happy pill

MORGAN'S POV;"Deal?" The voice laughed. "So soon? Are you that desperate?""Desperate?" I scoffed in annoyance. "Who's been the one blowing my phone up with stupid texts? Which one of us is desperate now?""Cocky." a click of the tongue. almost human. I rolled my eyes. "Look, this is going to be on my terms.""But of course.""Don't text me unless I text you first, and unless it's absolutely necessary. And of course, I'm going to be the first to call, not that you can call me, anyway.""Of course." Another chuckle. That mechanical voice grated on my nerves like mad. I inhaled deeply and closed my eyes. A huge wave of dizziness hit me. Dang that sleeping pill is working too damn fast."I'll send your money by tomorrow morning.""You haven't told me what you want me to do.""Since you're—" I yawned "—all aware of what's happening, find the bastard behind all these rumors. Gather everything you can on them.""Finally. Some real action.""Don't tell me you've been out of job in what? Fo
