MORGAN'S PLACE*

"We can't" Edward said, and they both chuckled.

NEW KING MANSION*

Rebekah dropped the small spoon from the hot cup of coffee and settled it on a tray, then she sighed, adjusting her hair band before carrying the tray out of the kitchen.

Her father truly got dethroned to satisfy the people, all because of her.

They moved out of the palace to this mansion, and though it's still as gigantic as the palace, she can't help but feel guilty.

She dislikes her father, but not to the point of making him get dethroned, and it's even worse cos he has been sick since then.

She looks sullen and dull as she climbed the stairs and took the coffee to his room.

King (Kingston) is on the bed, sick and miserable with Elsa beside him.

Elsa took the cup of coffee from Rebekah and swirled it, allowing it to cold down a little bit more...

Rebekah was more than shocked when she stayed after the dethronement.

She has always seen her as a golddigger according to Axel, but the fact that she stayed is still baffling, and she's starting to think maybe Axel was wrong about her.

"King, you should take the herbal coffee when it's still warm" Elsa said, placing a pillow behind him to support his posture.

King sat up with difficulty, resting on the pillow wool before drinking gently from the cup.

Rebekah sat on his other side, and when he looked her way, she could still see that disappointment in his eyes, and it hurts.

"Do you need anything else, father?" She asked, and he mildly shook his head.

She smiled slightly as he lay back in bed.

"You can go, I'll help him sleep" Elsa said, and Rebekah stood

"Thank you" she muttered before leaving the room.

She went back downstairs and pulled her phone out of her bum shorts pocket, dialling Axel's line.

Their final exams ended last week, and Axel didn't even wait for results before flying out of the country with Rook and Hyce.

According to them, they're going to explore the business world and acquire more connections before coming back, but is that enough reason to not pick her calls?

She misses him already, and it's unhealthy.

He didn't pick again as usual, so she dropped the phone and bit her lip softly before going upstairs to dress up.

She'll just go to Morgan's place.

MORGAN'S PLACE*

After washing the car Sabrina took out last night, Morgan collapsed on the bare ground beside the garage, staring at the cerulean morning sky.

Final results are out, and she came out with what she expected...

A second class.

The next important thing right now will be to start looking for job to cater for herself so she'd leave this hell of a house.

The series of events that happened throughout the last few weeks really took a big toll on her, and it's obvious she lost weight, same with Rebekah.

"And why are you lying uselessly down there when the car is not clean enough?" Sabrina's witchy voice interrupted her thoughts.

Well, well.... talk of the devil.

Morgan stood with a sigh, facing her.

"And where exactly is not clean in the car?" She confronted.

"You enjoy talking back at me these days, don't you?" Sabrina smirked.

"You can just wash it yourself if you feel it's not clean enough" another voice interrupted, and Morgan smiled when she saw Rebekah coming in.

"Oh... it's the overbearing princess. My bad, I forgot you're not a princess anymore" Sabrina said in plain mockery, her voice as sharp as a whip.

"Is that all? I'm going out with Morgan" Rebekah said, grabbing Morgan's arm and deciding to overlook Sabrina's lampooning.

"She needs to rewash my car!" Sabrina barked.

"And I said I'm going out with her" Rebekah insisted.

"Wait..." A snarl lifted Sabrina's lips.

"Are you like this because Axel isn't picking your calls? Guess what...we did a video call last night, and it lasted for an hour" Sabrina taunted, and Rebekah secretly pinched herself.

"Let's go, Morgan" she said.

Sabrina started laughing as Morgan left the house with Rebekah.

They got to the car, and Rebekah hit the steering angrily.

"Don't mind her, she's just being annoying" Morgan said.

"Tie her to her door!" Rebekah seethed, and Nina laughed.

"Is Axel still not picking your calls?" Morgan asked.

Rebekah sighed, resting back on her seat.

"I hate him for making me feel this way. I tried to kill my feelings yunno .... He's my stepbrother, and he's not even interested in me romantically. I get mad when he calls me his baby sis but...this is not right" Rebekah replied.

"Does this mean you're finally accepting Elsa?" Morgan asked.

"She's not bad, at all" Rebekah replied candidly, and Morgan nodded.

"You'll get over it, I promise" Morgan patted her, and she nodded.

She drove them to the hospital where they met Isaac waiting in front of.

"Look who's here, Hyce's boy" Morgan teased.

"Is Hyce picking your calls?" Isaac asked, worry lacing his soft voice.

"He's not picking your calls?" Rebekah asked.

"Yeah....since they left" Isaac said worriedly.

"Axel isn't picking Rebekah's calls too" Morgan said.

"I tried Rook's but it's same with him" Isaac said.

"Are they playing with us?" Rebekah smirked.

"Their agents said they're busy though" Morgan said.

"Busy to the point of ignoring calls? They're all crazy" Rebekah rolled eyes dramatically and entered the hospital.

Morgan and Isaac grinned before following her behind.

They went straight to nurse Layla's office.

Getting close to her was a piece of cake since she's so lovable and kind.

"Guys!" She spranged up from her desk immediately they entered.
