the mysterious Morris family 026. Shawn's engagement.
Aunt Shawn's heart raced as she approached the door, curiosity gnawing at her. What was happening behind it? Was Brian really in there? With a deep breath, she turned the knob, only to be yanked inside by Claire's unexpected grip. Before she could react, Aunt Shawn found herself sprawled on the floor, disoriented and vulnerable. Claire stood over her, a wicked smile curling her lips, her eyes gleaming with a twisted satisfaction. “Direct message to you—oh, sorry, I forgot you're unconscious and won't be able to hear what I'm about to say,” Claire mocked, reveling in the moment. “In behalf of your plans, which I'm about to make a success for you, I have devised a little taste of your own medicine. Let’s see how bitter it really is.”As she spoke, Claire directed her assistant to prepare the drugs. The air thickened with tension as the reality of Aunt Shawn’s predicament set in. Claire watched, a predator savoring the thrill of the hunt, as the assistant injected the drugs, sealing Aun

In the dim light of the family’s grand living room, tension crackled like electricity. Brian leaned back, arms crossed, his voice steady but laced with an unsettling calmness. “If she doesn’t want to get married to him, let her be. Besides, the video is no longer on the internet.”Claire’s brow furrowed as she regarded him. “How can this boy be my brother? He’s so soft-hearted. You want to let someone who drugged you walk free? Too bad, Brian. It’s either she dies or she gets out of this family.”Aunt Shawn, her fingers trembling slightly, pulled out her phone. “True, today’s incident is no longer available online,” she remarked, a glimmer of relief flashing across her face.“Everything is settled. I don’t have to marry into his family,” Shawn declared, the lightness in her tone a stark contrast to the suffocating dread in the room.But just as relief began to settle, a notification chimed on her phone, shattering the fragile calm. A video from a strange number blinked ominously on the
the mysterious Morris family 028. I would kill you Arden.
The clock ticked ominously in the silence of Aunt Shawn’s lavish living room, each second echoing like a heartbeat, a countdown that filled the air with dread. “And I'm only giving you two days to decide on what to do,” the message read, words dripping with malice. “If you say you don't want to do anything, then after those two days elapse, everyone would know the kind of girl the only miss of the Morris family is.”Shawn clenched her phone, her heart racing as the implications of the threat crashed over her like a wave. “I have enough evidence that would also be capable of giving you death by shooting or by hanging, in attornment for your sins.”She shivered, the chill of the threat sinking deep into her bones. The sender, Arden, had always lurked in the shadows, her motives as dark as a moonless night. “So your time starts now. Don't forget to open the package. Ain't you eager to know what's inside that package?”Claire, seated nearby, watched Aunt Shawn with a mixture of pity and cu

When the time comes to marry or to choose, a simple call can change everything. Mr. Rogers, with his air of authority and urgency, handed his contact information to Shawn, his eyes glinting with the weight of unspoken expectations. The moment he turned to leave, a notification flashed on Shawn's phone—a stark reminder of the precarious position she found herself in."I'm only giving you two minutes to make the right choice and six hours to get married, Aunt Shawn." The message echoed in her mind, a relentless drumbeat of pressure. Shawn stared at the screen, her heart racing. Every decision she made felt monumental, each one a thread in the tapestry of her future. The thought of prison loomed large, a dark shadow that threatened to engulf her. She couldn’t bear the thought of being trapped, nor could she imagine a life devoid of hope—a life that led to an unthinkable end. "I would marry you," she finally said also typing it, her fingers trembling over the screen. The moment she hit s

Brian anxiously waited at the front of the operation room as Mabel was undergoing the operation.He was restless and could not even drink his water and dropped the cup.Just then, the door of the operation room opened, and the doctor came out."We are in need of blood, and we don't have her blood type in our blood bank," the doctor informed Brian. "We urgently need O negative blood; the patient is in critical condition. If the blood isn't brought on time, I'm sorry, you're going to lose her," the doctor said."I'm also a possessor of that particular blood type. Can I donate my blood for her?" Claire insisted. However, Brian immediately refused. He couldn't let Claire donate her blood for Mabel. He believed he was the one who put her in this condition and that he should be the one to donate his blood to her."I will be the one to donate my blood to her," Brian said as he followed the doctor into the operating room. Brian's blood was first screened for any sexually transmitted infection

Immediately after the wedding, Shawn received a notification on her phone."I'm wishing you a happy married life, dear aunt. I hope to hear good news soon. Thank you for bringing honor to the Morris family."Roger and Grandpa Morris were having a brief talk. Due to the Morris family tradition, Shawn was not supposed to follow Roger on the same day as the wedding. She was supposed to perform certain rituals as per their customs and traditions.But Roger refused instantly. He had seen enough, and due to the nature of his business, there were many operations that required his approval before being carried out.The ritual was not a long process, but Graham wanted to use that opportunity to spend time with his only daughter, who was now married against her will. This wasn't the life he had wanted for her. Not being able to stop the wedding, which had already taken place, made his heart bitter.Once again, he had failed his wife.

The driver obeyed Shawn's command immediately; he slowed down the car. Shawn pretended to lean toward Roger. She opened the door and pushed Roger out of the car. Then she told the driver to jump out of the car that's now driving slowly."Jump out of the car now! It looks like someone planted a bomb in this car," she said. "As I said earlier, if you don't believe me, then you're free to stay inside." Shawn jumped out of the car. The driver refused to jump out and decided to stop the car. As soon as he stopped, the car exploded.Roger fell into the grass along the side of the road. His injuries weren't that severe. Immediately after the car exploded, Roger looked at himself and then at the car. If not for Shawn, he would have died now.Roger walked toward Shawn, who had bruises all over her body."Are you okay?" Shawn asked Roger. She was already married to him, and she couldn't change that even if she wanted to." em" That was all,Roger replied nodding his head, as he made a call. He w

When Brian and Chloe walked on the road, their closeness is often mistaken for that of lovers or couples.Since Brian dated Mabel, he took all her family members in as his own. Ever since then, a strong bond has been built between her family and him that's very hard to break. Despite him and Mabel no longer being together, he can't break the bond that he and her family members share, especially with Chloe.After sending her some money that would be more than enough for her transport and to help with some of her bills, Brian felt relaxed knowing that someone would be looking after Mabel for him.After texting her his home address and everything, Claire suggested, "Are you not going to change your things or maybe take a little nap since you are tired?""Have you eaten?" Brian asked."Not yet," Claire replied as she operated her smartphone."Why haven't you eaten since morning?" Brian asked."You are talking as if you don't know what happened yesterday and today. Have you seen the news?

046. Mabel's dream
Mabel dangled perilously over the edge of the rooftop, her heart racing as she stared down into the abyss below. Just as her grip began to slip, Claire lunged forward, her hands clasping Mabel's wrist with a fierce determination. "Hang on, Mabel! I’ve got you!" Claire shouted, her voice strained as she struggled to pull her friend back to safety.The air was thick with shock; onlookers stood frozen, eyes wide and mouths agape, unable to process the unfolding drama. Time seemed to stretch, each second heavy with the weight of impending disaster."I can’t hold on much longer!" Claire cried, desperation lacing her words as she fought against the gravity of the situation. "Brian! Get it together!" she yelled, hoping to jolt him back to reality."I want my mommy!"

Ruby's heart raced as she stared at the screen of her phone, the image of Mabel standing perilously on the edge of the hospital rooftop flashing before her eyes. “I don’t know what’s going on!” she exclaimed, her voice trembling as she turned to Brian, who stood beside her.Brian's brow furrowed, his mind racing. “Where’s Chloe?” he demanded, a tinge of panic creeping into his voice. Ruby met his gaze, confusion clouding her expression. “I don’t know, Brian! I haven’t left this room since morning. How would I know?” She quickly threw on her clothes, glancing at her reflection in the mirror, the reality of the situation beginning to sink in.Without another word, Brian stormed out of the room, his thoughts consumed by worry. He checked Chloe’s room first, his heart pounding with each step. Empty. He made his way down the hallway, the weight of dread pressing on him. He needed to find her and fast.As he opened the door to Claire’s room, he found her on the phone, her face pale and ten
044. A Morning to Remember
The night had wrapped Ruby and Brian in a cocoon of shared fantasies, their first time together igniting a spark that felt both electric and timeless. They had ventured into untold territories of intimacy, each moment dripping with romance and unspoken promises. As the dawn broke, the world outside was a blur of colors, but within the confines of their room, reality was still suspended in the magic of the night before.“Good morning, Ruby,” Brian whispered, his warm breath brushing against her skin as he pressed his lips softly against hers, lingering just long enough to steal her breath away before kissing her forehead. He rose from the bed, a smile on his face, glancing back at Ruby, who lay peacefully asleep, her hair tousled like a halo around her.He tiptoed into the bathroom to freshen up, excitement bubbling within him as he mentally planned their breakfast. He wanted to make today special for Ruby, to create a memory that would linger long after the sun had set. As he prepared

Brian and Chloe stepped into the living room, their expressions unreadable. The air was thick with a tension that neither could name. Ruby and Claire were already there—Claire immersed in her book, her brows furrowed in focus, while Ruby sat cross-legged on the couch, headphones on, mouthing the lines of her audition script.Claire was the first to look up. Her eyes flickered over Brian and Chloe, searching their faces for answers. There was no relief, no joy, no sorrow—just a blank slate that made it impossible to guess what had happened at the hospital."How is she? Is she okay?" Claire asked, closing her book and setting it aside. Her voice was calm, but there was a slight edge to it, a sharpness that betrayed her concern.Ruby, still engrossed in her script, didn’t even notice Brian’s arrival until he crossed the room. He walked up behind her, slipping his arms around her shoulders. Startled, she turned to look at him, pulling off her headphones."Darling, you’re back," she said,
042. Mabel
“Brian!” The voice called out again, cutting through the stillness of the room.“Wait, I’m coming!” Brian replied, hastily adjusting himself. Ruby, who had been comfortably seated on his lap, stood up, her cheeks flushed as she grabbed a towel to wrap around herself. The soft fabric clung to her curves, but her attention was quickly drawn to the door as Brian opened it to reveal Chloe, standing there with an expression that flickered between hope and dread.“Mabel has woken up!” Chloe shouted, her voice bright with joy, but just as quickly, her eyes dimmed, casting a shadow over her excitement. Brian noticed the abrupt shift, his heart sinking as he took in Chloe’s sudden change in demeanor.“What’s wrong, Chloe?” he asked gently, concern etching lines on his forehead. “I thought you said your sister had just woken up. Why do you look so sad?”“She’s suffering from memory loss,” Chloe admitted, her voice trembling. “The doctor says she has the brain of a child now, and we need to be t
041. Ruby's failed plan
The dim corridor outside the hospital ward was eerily quiet, broken only by the faint hum of fluorescent lights. Ruby stood there, her heart pounding, though not from fear. No, it was anticipation—a cold, calculated anticipation. This time, she would make sure Mabel was gone for good. There would be no mistakes, no loose ends. No one would ever know Mabel had been murdered.She gripped the small vial of poison in her pocket tightly as she took a deep breath. Steeling herself, Ruby pushed open the door to Mabel's room, determined to end the competition for Brian’s affection once and for all. But as she stepped into the room, her eyes widened in shock.The bed was empty. Mabel was gone.“What’s going on?” Ruby whispered, her voice sharp with confusion. Her gaze darted around the room, but there was no sign of the girl she’d seen lying helplessly in that bed just yesterday. The IV stand stood abandoned, and the sterile white sheets were neatly folded, as though no one had ever been here
040. Aisha ambitions
The red droplets falling from Aaron's bloodied fist matched the intensity of his hatred. "Brian, you can take everything else, but I won't let you have her," he snarled at the empty room, his words echoing off the pristine walls of the family estate. But fate, as it often does, had already set its wheels in motion long before this moment of desperation.Earlier that afternoon, the air had been thick with tension in the same room where Aisha sat, her perfectly manicured nails drumming against the mahogany armrest as she voiced her frustrations. "Ever since the party, I haven't heard from Mabel again. Her line isn't going through." She cast a calculating glance between Aunt Shawn and Aaron, her eyes betraying the machinations behind them. "I hope she hasn't changed her mind. I really need her to cause division between her and Ruby."Aaron, who had been standing by the window, turned to face her. The sunlight streaming through the glass caught the sharp angles of his face as he delivered
39. Ruby's plan
Brian sat at his desk, his eyes glued to the laptop screen as his fingers danced over the keyboard. Ruby stood behind him, her hands gently massaging his shoulders. A soft smile played on her lips, though her mind was already racing ahead."I’ve been thinking, Brian," Ruby began, her voice sweet and measured. "You know Claire has that competition coming up. How about enrolling her in a cooking school? She could really improve her skills there. Actually…" She hesitated before adding with a triumphant smile, "I’ve already done it. She’ll stay there until the session is over."Brian’s fingers paused for a brief moment, though his gaze remained fixed on the screen. "Thanks, Ruby," he replied calmly, "but you should have informed her before making that decision. Remember, Claire is older than you. You need her permission before taking such a step."Ruby frowned, her smile faltering. "But she needs it," she pressed, her tone firm.Brian finally turned to look at her, his expression unreadab
38. Ruby's jealousy
Krayon stood frozen, staring at the girl Brian had just introduced as Chloe. Her expression was sharp and unwelcoming. She looked at him like he was something unpleasant stuck to her shoe, her annoyance plain as day. It wasn’t just her glare that unsettled him—it was the way his stomach churned under her scrutiny. Only Chloe’s face had this strange way of making him feel nauseous, like a bad memory resurfacing.His gaze flickered to hers, and in that moment, the memory hit him like a slap. School. He remembered how she had beaten him up, leaving him humiliated and bruised. It all made sense now. Mabel—sweet, calm Mabel—could never have hurt him like that. No, it wasn’t her. It had been Chloe all along."If you're Mabel’s sister, then where is Mabel?" Krayon’s voice broke the tense silence as his eyes darted between Chloe and Brian. He was searching for some kind of explanation, some clue, but neither of them said a word. Their silence felt deliberate, a wall he couldn’t break through.
