Jessica stood ice cold while staring at Morgan as he walked forward.
Morgan darted his eyes round the room as he stood, the room inside the abandoned house which had been offered for Jessica to stay by her stepmother, and he was already getting pieced off by everything he saw, from the disgusting foul–smell and the punch holes all around the walls on the room, combined with the faint sound of mosquito echoing.
"Why have you come to see me?" Jessica asked, staring at Morgan, while sitting on her wheelchair, Morgan slightly shifted his gaze, as he glanced at Jessica from behind.
"I have come to see my wife, as usual," Morgan replied, then fully turned and faced Jessica head on.
"I can't believe your stepmother chased you out of your father's house, giving you this shit hole to live in. She didn't even consider Caspian as a child, who on earth could be this wicked," Morgan spoke in a heated tone, his brow furrowed, and his fist clenched in dismay.
"I don't have any other choice than to accept her decision, if I don't, she will end up hurting Caspian, and I don't want something like that to happen," Jessica repelid, her head down with a low tone.
Morgan huffed after hearing what Jessica said. "Your Stepmom, she's nothing but a demon, and she must..." Before Morgan could finish what he wanted saying, Jessica's voice plunged in.
"How are you alive, Morgan? Am not comfortable with you, I am scared. It's just like me communicating with a ghost. Abigail told me you were dead and made me confirm it by talking to the police myself. How the hell are you alive?" Jessica asked, in a panicked tone, her voice rising, she was already losing her sanity.
Morgan took a deep breath, then sat on a chair as he spoke calmly. "Please, Jessica, don't be loud. You might wake Caspian, and I won't want him to see me here at this time of the night."
"Please come closer, I promise to explain," Morgan added with a grin.
Jessica, lodged with fear inside her, had no choice than to suppress it in order to listen to Morgan's side of the story. She was curious to know how he had survived and the main side of the story on what really happened with the police and him that led to them shooting him. In summary, she wants to know if the entire story was true, for her to believe in the first place.
Jessica rolled on her wheelchair, then came closer to Morgan, hands still trembling in fear, mixed with anger.
Jessica's anger wasn't only because Morgan had been proclaimed dead and how she had mourned his death, shedding tears for days, but also because he had left her for five years without any trace.
When Jessica came closer to Morgan he pushed his hands forward and held her hands gently, Morgan noticing the way Jessica hands were shaking, sighed silently, already knowing the reason.
"Jessica, you don't have to be afraid. Am really Morgan, not a faker," he reassured.
Jessica felt uncomfortable and drew her hands away from Morgan's embrace. "Please, if you want me to believe that you ain't a ghost, then tell me what happened, because I'm already freaking out as I speak."
"Okay, I will," Morgan replied calmly before continuing, "When the police restrained me and took me into their car, I felt scared and uncomfortable and that's when I tried to escape, which I successfully did. And after that, the got hold of me, but luckily I made a deal with the policemen, paying them my entire life savings. With that, they let me go but told me I shouldn't show myself ever, advising me to fly out of the country, after that they proclaimed me dead with some crafted evidence of my corpse being burnt," Nathan explained, trying to create a story, that could convince Jessica in believing that he wasn't dead from the start.
