Novel & Cerita Reid X Morgan

Megan stood near the window, her attention drifting lazily over the grounds outside. Both of them turned when Decker entered. And both of them felt it. The shift. Morgan’s eyes sharpened immediately. “That didn’t take long,” he said. Decker closed the door behind him with a soft click. “No.” Morgan leaned back slightly, studying him. “Something happened.” Decker didn’t sit. Didn’t offer pleasantries. “Silver Claw.” Megan’s head turned. Morgan’s expression didn’t change immediately but something in his posture tightened. “…what about them.”

She nudged her again and said, “Oh… It seems that you like Xander Reid. Good, good. Finally, you took an interest in something after a month. I thought you have become a soulless wooden doll.” “What did you say? Xander Reid? Who is Xander Reid?” Abigail asked in a state of stupor. She tore off her gaze from the phone and looked at Lilian. “You don’t know who Xander Reid is!” Lilian gawked at her with disbelief. Abigail shook her head in a trance. “Oh… How will you know? Let me tell you… Owen Reid is the owner of Pinnacles, the top most business empire in our country. Xander Reid is his only son who returned after twenty years.”

Kevin had been researching since he had received the call from Renee. All he'd come up with was Washington state. There were a lot of Mark Morgan's. He'd tried researching Christian Morgan but it had just brought up older men. He needed someone that could look into these things for him. He had no idea what he was doing other than to type in a name.

Susan was livid but kept quiet, clearly not wanting to cause a scene at such a public event. From a short distance away, Mr. Reed waved at me. "Angus, come over here! I have someone to introduce to you. This is Mr. Morgan from Morrigan Group." I walked over and greeted Mr. Morgan with a nod. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Morgan. I'm Angus." "I've heard a lot about you. I understand you completed your project with Mr. Reed three months ahead of schedule, and the quality was outstanding," he said. It seemed Mr. Morgan was already well-acquainted with my reputation. Emily laughed beside me. "Of course! I wouldn't choose just anyone!"

“He swears he didn’t tell anyone. He even prepared the paperwork himself because we were afraid the information might leak.” Morgan leaned back slightly and gave a short, bitter laugh. “You know what this feels like?” he asked. Damien said nothing. “It feels like I went fishing,” Morgan said quietly. “I caught the biggest fish I’ve ever seen…” He paused, his jaw tightening. “…and just as I was pulling it in, it slipped right through my hands.” The silence between them grew heavy. “And now,” Morgan continued after a moment, “I’ve got a dead gang leader…”

Morgan seemed completely broken, as if all his strength had been drained away. Staggering backward, he muttered under his breath, "Your… Your son… He really… He really does look like him…" The pain and despair in Morgan's eyes were unmistakable. "Addie, life's treating you well… Isn't it?" I nodded. "Yes, I'm doing very well. I'm loved by my husband and blessed with a wonderful child. My life is filled with the warmth of a happy family. I have everything I've ever wished for." Morgan closed his eyes, anguish etched across his face. Tears slipped down his grimy cheeks. "I was wrong… Addie… I really was… If only I hadn't left you… If only I'd known you were a werewolf… If… if only—"

DI Morgan followed close behind, a file tucked under one arm. The moment Reyes hit the sidewalk, Red moved. Straight line. No hesitation. No wave. No hello. Morgan stiffened. “What the hell are you—?” But Reyes didn’t flinch. He stood still, eyes calm, watching Red approach like a man who'd already read the ending. Red stopped inches from him. His hand still in his jacket pocket. Morgan’s hand drifted instinctively to his holster. Reyes didn’t blink. Then Red pulled out a small, silver flash drive and shoved it toward Reyes’s chest.

Then she laughed once under her breath. “Wow, finally, at least I'm not going crazy,” she muttered. Ethan stared at me like he wanted to say something else, but before he could, we heard his name. “Yo, Ethan!” A loud voice suddenly cut through the tension. We all turned, immediately my stomach dropped. Because walking into the kitchen with several football players behind him, was Ashton Reid. And unfortunately even with his bandanged body, he was still one of the most attractive people I had ever seen in my life.

“Then activate the unofficial resources. I don’t care what it costs or how many laws we have to bend. By the time we’re done with Xavier Lancaster, he’s going to wish he’d never heard the name Mortaine.” “Should I tell Morana?” I scoffed at that. “No. She’s dealing with the board and Lance and reclaiming her company. She doesn’t need the distraction of knowing that her ex-husband is currently spiraling into panic.” “Dhe’s busy destroying people who underestimated her. Let her focus on that. I’ll handle the rest.” Reid left to go with the intelligence team and I stood alone in my office understanding that this had just become personal in a way that went beyond strategy.

Before I could answer, another voice called from behind me, "Whoa, hold your horses there, Professor. Is that appropriate?" Morgan had somehow appeared behind me in a white collared shirt, carrying his backpack and a bag of freshly roasted chestnuts from my favorite shop. He stepped in front of me as though it were the most natural thing in the world. "Maddie has already divorced you," he said. "You're harassing her." Xavier frowned. "This doesn't concern you, McLeary." Morgan tilted his head. "Why not? I like Maddie. I'm trying to woo her. You're trying to steal my girl right in front of me, so how does that not concern me?"
