Trust can be earned

Chapter Ten

Sirena’s (Savannah) POV

Taylor and I watched as everything unfolded, we watched as Enzo watched the footage. I knew the second he realized someone had tampered with the footage, I also know he now thinks either Morgan or myself or both are involved. I know I will have to show Morgan everything now, he will need to be as prepared as I am. Taylor turns to me with a smirk and asks, “So what now?”

I smirk, “Now the games begin,” I grab my phone and dial Morgan’s number.

He picks up on the second ring and before I can say anything his panicked voice comes through “Oh god Sirena, where the hell are you?”

I roll my eyes as I answer “I’m at my office, can you get here quick. I need to show you something, but you can’t be mad.”

I hear him huff, “When you finish a sentence with ‘You can’t be mad’ it doesn’t bode well does it?”

I grimace slightly and quickly say “Just get here.” I hang up as he starts to respond.

I know I will pay for that later, thankfully I enjoy that form of punishment. When Morgan finally arrives, we have just finished lunch, all that drama made us both rather hungry.

While we ate, we continued to watch Enzo’s camera feed, I know it doesn’t matter how many tests the doctors do, there is nothing they can do to stop the drug. I made sure that it’s biochemistry is untraceable unless you know exactly what to look for.

To Enzo’s doctors it will be too confusing to decipher, watching them try should be fun though. Morgan doesn’t look happy when he walks up to my desk, he glares at me saying “You will be sorry for that little call later.”

I can’t help but bite my bottom lip looking at him with lust full eyes. Taylor clears his throat, “I think that’s enough of that, we’re here to work remember.”

I roll my eyes at the interruption as Morgan growls, Taylor holds his hands up in surrender. Morgan glares at Taylor until he took the hint and realized Morgan wanted his seat, he winked at me knowing it would piss Morgan off.

I slapped the back of his head pretty hard as he walked to the other side of my desk, Morgan sniggered then smirked at Taylor in triumph. Well until I clipped the back of his head when he stood next to me, both men were rubbing where I had hit.

I looked between them, “Now if play time is over, can we get down to it?” Morgan and Taylor glared at each other like children again. I had to clear my throat to get my point across, as soon as I did both men gulped and quickly took their seats.

I sat down and went back to the live feed of Enzo’s recovery room; well, I guess Lorenzo’s room until his death. Morgan looks at the screen and then at me confused, when I don’t say anything, he looks at the screen again. I see the moment he realizes what he is looking at because his eyes widen, quite comically and his mouth drops open.

I place a finger under his chin after a few minutes and close his mouth for him, he snaps out of his shock and his head flies in my direction. He moves so quick he nearly headbutts me, luckily, I f*****g quick and managed to move.

He looks at me his eyes still wide, “What the hell happened?”

I look at him innocently before replying “This is the don’t get mad part.” I cringe and then slowly raise my hand indicating I did it.

Morgan’s eyes flick back to the screen and then back to me, he suddenly bursts into a fit of laughter. I look at Taylor and his expression shows he is just as confused as I am, I really expected to be scolded even just a little for going off alone again.

Instead, he is laughing at me, I now have wide eyes and a hanging mouth. When Morgan has managed to control his laughter to nothing more than a chuckle, he looks at me, shakes his head putting his finger under my chin.

He closes my mouth this time as he says, “Of course it was you, who else would it be?”

I keep looking at him in shock, when I snap out of it, “You aren’t angry I went off alone again?”

Morgan chuckles, “Savannah, I know you and I trust you. You do what needs doing and what some others don’t have the stomach for, this is your war I’m just following.” I melt like literally f*****g melt.

I forget where we are and grab him, pulling him into a passion fuelled kiss. Someone clears their throat, my sense comes back, I realise Taylor is here as I pull away with a deep blush.

Morgan growls in Taylors direction making him chuckle, I turn and glare at Taylor whose face changes from smirking to fear in point of a second. Taylor jumps jump clearing his throat looking around wildly, he spots the door and rushes over to it quickly, “Right, well. I um, I have seen the footage, so I’ll be back in a few.” I burst out laughing as the door slams behind him.

Morgan looks at me with a frown and I don’t know why, I chuckle, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Morgan growls grabbing both arms of my chair pinning me in place, I look at him confused by his anger, “Why has Taylor seen the footage, and why am I only just hearing about it don’t you trust me?”

I look at him shocked by his tone; I have to hold in the sneer I feel trying to cross my face. I take a breath and push him hard in the chest, he wasn’t expecting it, so he let go of the arms on my chair and his rolled back a little before he recovered.

Morgan looked at me with a sneer of his own which not only caused mine to come over my face, but also a growl to leave my throat. I looked him square in the eyes, “This is my war remember, Taylor is my second and always has been. Don’t worry I don’t even fully trust him now, but he has always been the first to see what I can do.” I take a breath.

I look at him with a softer expression “It’s not your fault, I’m sorry. Having another partner, look I don’t even trust myself half the time. I can’t promise not to do it again, But I can promise to try not to.”

I look down ashamed because it isn’t Morgans fault I don’t trust anyone anymore, that blame lies solely on the Marino’s. I will make sure they pay for ruining me, I just hope I don’t lose myself completely and I can somehow put myself back together again.

Right now, I need to concentrate on the man sat in front of me, I feel Morgan place his hands on both sides of my face. He tilts my face up so our eyes meet, his are full of love and understanding.

I release a breath I didn’t know I was holding; Morgan wipes his thumbs over each cheek, “I’m the prick that should be saying sorry, I just get so jealous I’ve only just got you and I won’t f*****g lose you,” I look into his honest eyes, and I can feel tears leaving my eyes at his words.

Morgan chuckles, “I guess we’re as bad as each other.”

I laugh as he wipes my tears for me, once we have both composed ourselves Morgan gestures to the computer with his head, looking at me, “Show me the damage then?”

I look at him sternly, “On one condition, any questions you want to ask wait until I stop the footage, please?”

Morgan narrows his eyes slightly but nods agreeing to my request.

I turn to the screen and hit the play button; I had already set it up where I wanted to start. After I pressed the stop button Morgan let out a puff of breath and leaned back in his chair, his hands start running through his hair as he tries to process what he has just

watched. Morgan meets my eye, “So how do you know you can trust this guy?” I look him in the eyes and explain everything.

Morgan looks taken aback but covers it quickly, “OK so where is Tom?” I smirk at him and reply “In a safe location only the two of us know about, well soon to be the three of us.”

Morgan eyes me suspiciously “Three who?” I chuckle and point to him, he looks confused, “Savannah, what the hell are you talking about?”
