THE NEXT MORNING!!

|| Brittany ||

I feel something cold on my forehead, I open my eyes and reach for it. It’s an ice pack.

I sit up with a groan, and look around. I’m back in my room? How?

I groan as I rub my forehead.

“Here you go!” Rora stretched her hangover cure to me.

I gulp it down and return the glass to her. She sat on my bed next to me, she takes my hand in hers.

“Britt, what happened last night? How come Javier brought you back?”

Javier,,,, I frown as I try to recall what happened.

Then it all comes crashing in my head,,, Kathleen’s birthday,, the club,,,, and Eric!!

Rora studies my expression and frown.

“Britt, are you ok?”

“Eric!” I said.

“Eric?!”

“Yeah, he came to the club too! And he,,, he,,,, he,,,, ”

I couldn’t find the right words to use, my mind went back to the way he pressed himself against me, how he held my breasts and forcefully kissed me.

I start shaking at the thought, I gather my blanket in my hands and start breathing heavily.

Rora seems to notice this, she quickly hug me and starts whispering comforting words to me.

|| Aurora/Phoebe ||

From her reaction, I can tell Eric almost did something bad to her. But I don’t know what it is.

Or could it be that he almost r@ped her?

“He,,,, he,,, he,,,,”

“Shhhh,, take a deep breath” I told her.

She quiets down and start taking small breaths and soon she is calm.

“You don’t have to tell me what he did, I already know” I said.

“You do?”

I nod.

“Yes!”

She grips my arm tightly.

“I have to thank Javier, had he not arrived in time, Eric could have had his way!”

“I already did that for you, I thanked him a lot last night”

She stays silent for a few minutes before she nods slowly.

I gritt my teeth as I think of what Eric could have done,,, I didn’t know he’d scoop so low as to do such a thing.

He should thank his stars that I wasn’t there, maybe he’d be dead by now. Also he should pray I never see him anywhere or else, I will make sure he dies a painful death.

I will kill him.

A sound of a stomach growling loudly draws my attention. I turn to Britt, she holds her stomach, blinking her eyes rapidly as she stares at me.

“I think I’m hungry, Rora”

I laughed briefly.

“You think? Or you are?”

“Ok, I’m hungry”

“And you call me a glutton”

She scoffs.

“That’s because you are a glutton, I can’t compete with you when it comes to a good contest. You eat like a gaint!”.

I gasped dramatically.

“You didn’t just say that”

“I did”

“Take it back”

“Make me”

“Take it back!”

“I said make me”

I sigh.

“Whatever! At least gaints are powerful, I can protect you better then!”

She rolls her eyes.

“Right!”

“I know you don’t believe, but come let’s eat, the foods are getting cold”

“Yay, food!” She exclaims and bounce off her bed.

I stare in confusion. I thought she was sick from last night,,, hmm, I guess food is a fast healer.

I stride to the dinning room to join her.

|| Javier ||

I look around the dinning table, it’s silent, everyone is focused on their foods, only the sounds of cutleries hitting plates are heard.

Until Mom broke the silence.

“So,, Ian, I thought you went to get Phoebe back last night” she said.

“Yes” Ian reply shortly.

“Why can’t I see her this morning?”

Ian gripped his fork tightly that I feared it’s gonna break, he glares at me briefly.

I pretend as if I didn’t notice his glare.

“She refused to come with him and he was kicked out of her house last night” I told Mom.

“Well, that’s because some unwanted guest came and ruin everything!” He said passing me an accusing glare.

I scoffed, unfazed by his looks.

“She’d have kicked you out anyway”

“She wouldn’t have, we were,,, we were,,,, ”

I watch in amusement as Ian stumble with words for the first time ever.

I arch my eyebrows at him, urging him to speak.

“We were kinda sorting out our differences before you came and ruin everything!”

“Right, blame it on the innocent Javier!” I mocked.

Mom bangs on the table softly.

“Alright boys, stop fighting!” She scolds us.

We both kept quiet but not without glaring at each other.

Mom faced Ian with her usual warm smile.

“Don’t worry, Ian, Phoebe will come back, she is just throwing tantrums. Just find way to explain things to her and make her know it’s not your fault”

“I already did that”

She smiles.

“See? She knows it’s not your fault now, she just needs time!”

“Thanks, Mom!”

“Well, I’m meeting up with a friend later,,, I might get home late” she said.

“Oh, Brandon can take you or Javier will”

“What? Me?” I asked.

“Hmm-mmm” Ian reply.

“I won’t be available”

“Why?”.

“Why? I am a busy man,, a very busy man”

“Really? What are you doing, Mr busy man?”

I blinked innocently as I try to think of an excuse,,,, I open my mouth and what I didn’t expect to say came out.

“I’m going on a date with,,,, Brittany!”

I mentally smacked my mouth. Why did I say that?

“In that case I shouldn’t disturb your date” Mom said with a wide smile.

Ian narrowed his eyes at me.

“Since when have you been going on dates with Bridget?”

I roll my eyes.

“Her name is Brittany and it’s none of your business, ice face!”

“So now you are calling me ice face?”

“Yeah, I think that name suits you better”

“Boys, stop fighting in front of me or I will ground you both!”.

I huffed.

“Really, Mom? We ain’t kids no more”

“Then try and see if I can’t ground you”

That shut me up immediately. Mom stands up, she pushes her plates aside.

“I should go get ready to leave, and yes, Ian, I can drive myself there”

“But, Mom,,,,,”

“Shhhh! Eat your food” then she leaves the dinning room.

Ian also got up grumpily and head towards the stairs that leads to his study, I got up and rushes after him too.

“Don’t follow me, go back to your room or go to your date!”

“You don’t wanna know why I’m following you?”

“No, it’s useless!”

“What if it’s gonna bring Phoebe back to the mansion willingly?”

He halts right in the middle of the staircase and turns to me.

“What is that?”

“I know how we can get Phoebe to come on her own free will, but I need your cooperation”

“How?”

I whisper my plan in his ear and he smiles.

“Hmm, ok!”

He start walking again.

“So, can I borrow your Gucci belt?”

“No!”

I frown.

“Why? I just gave you a solution to your problem!”

“Javier,, haven’t done enough stealing for this month? I noticed some of my shoes missing last night,, are you gonna return them?”

Oops! How did he notice so soon.

” I ain’t returning nothing, they are mine now!”

He sighs.

“Then please, buy a Gucci belt for yourself”

“No, I’m saving my money for my future kids, let’s spend yours first!” I suggest politely.

He snarls.

“So, I don’t have kids to save my money for?”

“I don’t think so!”

Before I knew, I see Ian reach for something in his back pocket and point it at me.

It’s a,,,, gun!

My eyes grow wide.

“D-don’t tell me you sleep with that on you too!”

“Javier go back to your room or I will shoot your leg!”

I laughed nervously.

“You can’t do that, I’m your dearest brother and your love for me is too great”

He shoots the rails next to my left leg.

“Next time I won’t miss, now to your room!”

“Fine!”

Before I turn I see him smirk, I huffed and head to my room.

Though I know he was joking, he wouldn’t shoot me, even if he wanted to. He so much love me.

|| Unknown ||

I smile as I wore my suit,, after ten years I get to meet my dear Nancy again.

“Boss, our spy just report, Mrs Morgan is leaving the mansion already”

I turn to him and angrily lands my palm on his cheek.

“Don’t call her Mrs Morgan, call her Nancy when talking to me. Mrs Morgan reminds me of that ba$tard!!”

“Yes, boss”

I take a deep breath to calm myself.

“I’m in a good mood today, I won’t kill you”

“Thank you, boss”

“Get the car ready!”

“Yes, boss!” He runs off frightened.

Finally, I will see you again Nancy,,, I know you will be as beautiful as ever.

|| Mrs Morgan ||

My eyes move around the restaurant until they land on him!

He sits in a corner and I almost gag at the mere sight of him,,, I walk slowly towards him. He gets up when he sees me and rush towards me.

He opened his arms for a hug, but I pushed him aside and head to the table. I helped myself to a chair, after few minutes of standing, he finally came back and sit down.

“Nancy,,, so, after what? 10years? You didn’t want to welcome me with a hug?” He asked with a sick smile.

“A hug? Sorry, but I’m not excited seeing you!”

His smile falters.

“Why is that? Have you forgotten about our love so soon? It’s only,,,,, ”

“There wasn’t any love between us,, what happened was a mistake, a mistake that I regretted making!!”

He bangs his hand on the table, that drew attention to our table. I look around with an apologitic smile and they went back to what they were doing.

I turn to him with a harsh glare.

“You called what we had a mistake?!”

“Yes! It was a mistake!!”

“It wasn’t a mistake to me, it wasn’t a night that you can call a mistake, we spent nights together Nancy! Nights and that brought about our son!!”

I frown.

“Don’t tell me that’s why you came, Ian can’t know he’s an illegitimate son!”

“If you had married me, my son wouldn’t have been an illegitimate son!”

“It’s not my fault that I don’t love you!”

He stares at me blankly for a few minutes before he burst into sarcastic laughter.

“You don’t love me? Then why did you let me touch you? Why did you scream my name in pleasure when I was doing it?”

“You knew I didn’t love you, I only came to you for comfort and you knew very well why I came to you!!”

“Of course, and that’s why I let you married Donovan,,, and that’s why I watched my son called Donovan dad for 16years,,, I bet he still thinks of Donovan as his father now!!” He growled lowly.

His eyes held anger and hatred. I understand why he is angry but I don’t know why he hated Donovan so much,,, after all they were brothers!!

“Jeremy, Donovan was your brother, it’s not bad for your son to call him father, right?”

“It is bad! Especially when he thinks my brother is his biological father!!”

“Jer,,,,,, ”

“I’m tired of hearing my son call me Uncle! I’m tired of my son seeing me as an outsider! I think it’s time we tell him the truth!”

My heart stopped,,, my eyes widened and I swear I hear my eyes socket crack,, my eyes can literally bulge out any minute.

“No!!” I gasped out.

“No? Why? We’ve been lying to him, Don’t you think our son deserve to know the truth?”

“We can’t tell him, he’ll kill me or worse,,, hate me forever!”

“Oh?”

If Ian knows about this he’ll kill me,,, he’s got Jeremy’s temperament.

It’s not gonna end well for me.

“I can help you keep our secret safe,,, I can take it to my grave but on one condition”

“What condition?”

“Kill. Joseph’s. Daughter!!”

“What?!”

“Yes! I know she is still alive and Ian already knows that, so I want her out of the way!”

How did he know Phoebe is still alive?

“But why? The girl is innocent!”

“Innocent? No, Joseph knew too much, how am I sure he didn’t tell anything to his daughter”

“She,,,, ”

“No that Ian knows she’s alive, I’m afraid they are gonna get too close and she might expose us,,,, and I know Ian, he’s a fool when it comes to love, that girl is gonna be a huge distraction to him”

“Why will she be a distraction to him?”

“I did so many things 10years ago to ensure his future,,, I can’t let anymore distractions. I want him to focus on his future!”

I frown.

“His future? Ian is already living in his future,,, at 26, he’s already a General, the youngest General,,, he’s now the CEO of Morgan’s enterprise,,, he’s very rich, a multi billionaire at such a young age,,,, he’s already the most feared man in all of New York City,,, what other future are you talking about when he’s already in his future”

He smiles sadistically.

“I want my son to be feared world wide,, I want the whole world to shiver when they hear my son’s name. I. Want. My. Son. To. Rule. The. Whole. World!!”

God! What an unrealistic dream,,, a dream that can never come true.

How did I even got involved with this psychopath in the first place!

“Kill that girl and our secret will be taken to our graves,, but as long that girl lives, Ian is bound to find out the truth”

I shake my head.

“No, I can’t kill her. She is Ian’s happiness,,, she is Ian’s life, killing her is killing Ian”

He clenched his jaw.

“See? She has already become his weakness!! I didn’t kill so many people 10years ago for my son to have a weakness!! My son can never have any weakness, he should be cold-hearted!!”

“Jeremy, that’s,,,, ”

“I give you one week, I want to hear news that she is dead or I will pay the Morgan’s mansion a visit!”

“But,,,, ” and he’s gone.

I sigh heavily.

Why is this happening,,,, I wish I could turn back time.

|| Aurora/Phoebe ||

I sat in our living room watching camp rock, I sing along with my not so good voice.

In fact my voice can raise a dead man and kill him again and raise him again and kill him again. But I don’t care, I still sing.

?? This is me, this is real ??

?? I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be now ??

?? Gonna let the light shine on me ??

?? Now I found, who I am ??

?? there’s no way to hold it in ??

?? No more hiding who I wanna beeee ??

?? This is meeeeeeeeeeeeee ??

“Aurora Grace Coxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!” I hear Britt scream my name from the kitchen.

She marches to the living room and stops right in front of me, her hands place on her waist as she glares daggers at me.

I shrink into the sofa and stare at her with my innocent eyes, pouting my lips too.

“Aurora, are you tryna make me deaf?”

“No?”

“Then what’s up with the singing, can’t you let me enjoy Demi Lovato’s voice in peace?”

I chuckle and she narrows her eyes at me.

“Or were you tryna send me to my early grave!”

“Maybe?” I whisper.

“Grrrrrrrr!”

She charges at me but a rapid knock on the door made her halt.

We both stare at the door with deep frowns.

“Are you expecting someone?” She asked me.

“No, are you?”

“No!”

I got up from the sofa and rushes to the door, I peep from the peephole and see Javier standing outside, looking at his watch.

I quickly open the door and he grabs my hand. I study his expression, he looked worried.

“Javier, what’s wrong?”

“It’s Ian!” He said panickly.

I frown.

“Ian? What happened to him?” I asked in my own panicked voice.

“He’s dying?!”

My popcorn falls from my hand.
