the mysterious Morris family 001. Brian Taylor
On a scorching sunny day, Brian Taylor trudged through the bustling streets, his heart heavy with worry and disappointment. The relentless heat bore down on him, a fitting backdrop to his current state of mind. He had spent the entire day searching for a part-time job to support himself and his girlfriend, Mabel Lawson. After countless applications and rejections, he found himself resorting to the only option available: becoming an Uber driver. Brian’s prospects were dim, shaped by a background that often left him feeling inadequate. Hailing from a small, rural town, he was frequently viewed as uneducated, a label that gnawed at him. Unlike many of his peers, Brian was not an orphan. He had a loving, albeit struggling, mother who worked tirelessly to provide for them, but her meager income was never sufficient. He had never met his father, only seeing him in faded photographs that offered little comfort. The only family he truly knew were his foster grandparents, who welcomed his mo

Brian stood in stunned silence, his heart racing as he stared blankly at Mabel. The woman he had loved fiercely now seemed like a stranger, her face twisted into a smirk that sent chills down his spine. “Brian, please leave my apartment. You know I can charge you with attempted robbery,” Mabel threatened, her voice dripping with malice. “Mabel, you’ll regret what you just did. I promise you this,” Brian said, his voice low and shaky as he turned to leave. “Wait, Brian!” Mabel called out, her tone shifting abruptly to one of mock innocence. “I’ve already been regretting it! Brian!” She feigned remorse, her grin betraying her true feelings. “Really?” Brian asked, disbelief etched across his face. People could change, he knew that, but this felt different. “Yes, Brian! I regret it already!” Mabel insisted, her eyes wide with a false sincerity. “So, you’re ready to take me back?” Brian reached out, longing to touch her, but she dodged his hand like he was a disease. “Don’t touch me
the mysterious Morris family 003. Helena heaven
Helena's Heaven, more commonly known as the Fantasy of Your Reality, was a sanctuary for the affluent, a place where extravagance reigned supreme. For Brian, it felt like a world apart—a stark reminder of everything he lacked. After helping Claire unload the delivery from the car, he followed her into the hotel room, his heart heavy with the knowledge of his own insignificance. As Brian stepped into the room, he was immediately met with a sea of elite students, all of them draped in designer attire. And there, in the midst of them, was Mabel. “Guys, look who we have here,” Sharon sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “The poor and stinky Brian from the countryside,” she continued, her laughter echoing through the room. Brian stood frozen, absorbing the insult, his silence a defense mechanism. He knew that speaking up would only invite more ridicule—these were people who could erase him without a trace. Claire, however, wasn’t about to let Sharon have the final word. “And look w

“But Brian, I have nowhere to go!” Claire cried, her voice trembling with desperation. Brian stared at her, his heart heavy with empathy. He knew all too well what it meant to have no safe place to lay your head. It wasn’t long ago that he had faced the same harsh reality—sleeping under bridges or in unfinished buildings, where the cold and uncertainty haunted him. During his freshman year, he had desperately sought a spot in a hostel, only to find that all the spaces were filled. He had ended up squatting with a friend, but as is often the case with human nature, their relationship soured, and he was eventually kicked out. The streets had become his home, and the struggle for survival had been tough. “You can stay with me for now, until you save enough money for accommodation,” Brian said, his voice steady despite the turmoil in his heart. Just then, his phone buzzed, an unknown number flashing on the screen. It rang persistently, cutting through the tension in the air. Brian he

“Come and give Grandpa a hug,” Mr. Graham said, his voice thick with emotion as he enveloped Brian in a warm embrace. Brian stood there, caught in a whirlwind of confusion. Should he feel joy at this unexpected affection, or sadness at the revelation of a family he never knew existed? His mother had kept secrets from him—secrets about his lineage, about the elite world of the Morrises. But if he hailed from such a powerful family, why had they struggled so long just to survive? “If you don’t mind, can I ask you something?” Brian finally ventured. “You can, but not here. Let’s go somewhere calm and quiet to discuss,” Mr. Graham suggested, his eyes reflecting a seriousness that piqued Brian’s curiosity. They drove back to the Everest Hotel, where the atmosphere shifted dramatically. People stared at Brian with a mixture of envy and disdain. Many had tried every possible avenue to get close to the Morrises, but here was Brian—the beggar—granted access to this elite world, and that on
the mysterious Morris family 006. Ruby
Mr. Morris handed the receipt for the apartment he had just purchased to Brian, a warm smile spreading across his weathered face. “You don't have to look for an apartment again. This is a gift from me to you,” he said, his eyes twinkling with pride. Brian's heart swelled with gratitude. “Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it!” he exclaimed, overwhelmed by the generosity. “Just one more thing,” Mr. Morris added, his voice taking on a serious tone. “I’ve transferred something for you. Just manage it for the week.” “Thanks, sir, for your help,” Brian replied, still reeling from the unexpected kindness. “Stop calling me ‘sir,’” Mr. Morris chuckled, shaking his head. “I’m your grandfather. You don’t have to address me like that!” “Okay, Granddad. See you this weekend!” Brian said, his heart lighter as he stepped out of the room. As he made his way to his old apartment, Brian’s mind raced with possibilities. He envisioned a cozy space where he could finally settle down. Upon arrival,

“Brian’s waiting for us!” Stella shouted, tugging at the dreamy-eyed Ruby, who was lost in her thoughts. Brian had halted his steps, glancing back at them with a mixture of curiosity and impatience. As they approached, he crossed his arms. “What do you guys want?” he asked, his tone casual but guarded. “Can you join us for lunch?” Stella offered, a hopeful smile on her face. “Sorry, I can’t. I have a lot to do today,” Brian replied without a moment’s hesitation, his focus shifting back to his phone. Stella frowned, her determination flaring. “Brian, it’s not good to reject a pretty girl’s offer!” Brian met her gaze, but it was Ruby’s expression that caught his attention. Her cheerful smile had dimmed, replaced by a shadow of disappointment. In that moment, he realized it wasn’t merely Stella inviting him—it was Ruby who genuinely wanted him there. Something shifted within him. “Okay, I’ll come with you guys,” he said, attempting to lighten the mood. “Now smile, Ruby! You look m

“Welcome, Brian! Your food is in the kitchen, but it might be cold by now. You know what to do,” Claire said, dropping the book she had been engrossed in, her eyes momentarily sparking with curiosity. “What are you reading, Claire?” Brian asked, his interest piqued as he shuffled into the kitchen, the delicious aroma of leftover pasta tickling his senses. “Biochemistry,” she replied, glancing back at her phone. Claire had always been a mystery to Brian—bright, ambitious, and ever-absorbed in her studies, he always sees her reading during her free time back then when they still have their jobs. “What are you using chemistry for?” he asked, leaning against the counter, intrigued. “I’m a student too, what do you think?” Claire said with a playful smirk, her attention still divided between him and her phone. “So, what field?” Brian pressed, genuinely curious. “Pharmacy,” she said, finally looking up at him with a smile that lit up her face. “Okay,” he nodded, feeling a sense of cama

"That's Chloe, not Mabel," he said, and as soon as the words left his mouth, Krayon dropped his arms, causing Chloe to fall. He looked at Brian, who was now laughing at him."Careful with me before I break your leg, young man!" Chloe said as she stood up, but Krayon ignored her."Then if she's not Mabel, where is Mabel?" he asked, the loneliness he had felt since yesterday creeping back."That's what I've been asking Brian since I got here, and no one seems to know her whereabouts," Chloe lied."You’re looking for Mabel, right?

My parents are out of town, and—"Claire cut Ruby short as she entered. "Stella has gone back to the tournament. We know that, Ruby. You have every right to stay; after all, Brian is your boyfriend. We can't change that, can we?" Chloe added."You’re a hundred percent right, sis," Claire replied. "That’s what I told her in the kitchen," Chloe said as she served Claire her portion of food."I'm off to school, Brian. See you later," Ruby informed him as she left Brian's residence quietly.At breakfast, Chloe followed Brian to the hospital to visit her sister, Mabel. "Brian, will my sister ever wake up?" Chloe cried upon seeing Mabel's condition. Mabel was the only person her family relied on, and if she was in this state, what would happen to them? "Why is all this happening to our family?"

What if Brian starts suspecting me? I need to do something fast before he catches on,* Ruby thought.*Mabel, Mabel... after the breakup, why are your family members still close to Brian? Haven't you suffered enough because of him? Until I kill one of you, you won’t leave Brian for me,* Ruby seethed inwardly.Ruby glanced at the pictures of Brian that she had secretly taken. *I won’t stop until I make sure you are mine and mine alone. If I have to kill, I will,* she vowed.*I thought I had finally won you over, Brian. It turns out I was just delusional. I hate you, Mabel.

036. the accident
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

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.

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

When you're ready to marry, or choose, you can place a call. I'm a very busy person; I don't have time to watch family drama. Mr. Rogers said as he handed his contact info to Shawn before he turned to leave. Just then, a notification popped into her phone. "I'm only giving you two minutes to make the right choice and six hours to get married, Aunt Shawn." Aunt Shawn looked at the message. She knows any decision she took would have an effect on her in the future, and she can't afford to go to jail for the rest of her life, nor does she want to commit suicide by force. "I would marry you," Aunt Shawn said. Immediately, she received a notification. "Congratulations to my world's best aunt that's about to leave single life. She's about to be the newest bride in town. I'm so happy for you, but do you know you amazed me? With all the stuff I sent you, you did not throw your phone. I love that. I owe you a gift." The list for Aunt Shawn's bride price was given to Roger. In no time,
