“I don’t want to mess with Gavin and Frankie anymore. Their revenge just keeps getting nastier, and what started as guilt in me has turned into resentment. That’s why I’ve decided to walk away from both the Rowland and McCoy families.”
“I know Myla can’t stand me—she sees me as the biggest threat to her son. I actually begged her for help, but I never imagined she’d turn around and sell me out to traffickers.”
“When those traffickers yelled at me and lashed me, I almost felt relieved. For a moment, I wished it would all end—I just wanted to stop being that fake, two-faced person. And then I met you, Nathalie…”
Morris’s dark expression suddenly softened. “The second I saw you, it was like my world finally had more than just darkness. I could feel it—every part of me, every side I tried to hide, just lit up around you.”
“And you, Nathalie, you really didn’t let me down. You were so fearless—you risked everything to pull me away from those traffickers. That’s when I finally knew what it meant to want to live.”
“Nathalie, meeting you is the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to me. Only you could take my broken pieces and make me whole again. When I’m with you, life actually feels sweet.”
Morris leaned in, almost playfully, and gently caressed Nathalie’s cheek.
Tears welled up in Nathalie’s eyes. “How much have you been through, Morris? How much pain did it take for you to risk it all just to love me?”
“Because you’re the only bit of sweetness I’ve ever had in my life,” Morris answered, satisfied.
The next morning.
Clear skies.
Vincent Estate.
