After Jessica's mother died when Jessica was fifteen, her father, Creek, married Abigail. However, Abigail already had two daughters, Isabella and Mia. Years later, Creek died due to a severe illness, and his properties were illegally transferred to Abigail instead of Jessica saying that Jessica was too young to control the family business.
Somehow, Morgan discovered documents revealing the truth. When Abigail found out about it, she threatened and had tried to kill Morgan multiple times but she didn't succeed. That was when Morgan fled—for his safety and for the sake of his wife's survival as well. If he hadn't done so and allowed Abigail got hold of him, she would eliminate both him and Jessica in a way to clear the evidence he had discovered, but because she hadn't succeeded in killing Morgan, she can't just go ahead and kill Jessica.
"So, you think I don't know what happened, you thief? You tried to steal some documents in an attempt to take over the steel manufacturing company from Jessica's control," Abigail accused looking for a way to paint Morgan black, giving reasons why he fled for five years.
"Jessica, this man you see here has been a devil in our midst for a long time. Do you know why he left without telling you?" Abigail asked with a somber. "It was because he was too ashamed after being caught in the act, too abashed to face you. his a thief and he deserves to be put behind bars," Abigail added, her face fumed with irate.
"What?" Jessica was dumbstruck by Abigail's words. Ever since Morgan left, she had never for once known the reason, and now, hearing her stepmother's explanation left her confused, making her despise Morgan the more. At the same time, it gave her more reason to divorce Morgan immediately having nothing to do with him.
"Morgan, is that what happened? I can't believe this," Jessica said, a wave of Disbelief stroking her spine as she felt her hands shaking, her lips trembling.
Five years ago, Jessica's company had been threatened with seizure by another firm, claiming she had violated certain agreements. Fraudulent activities had been traced to her company as well.
"So, all this while, it was you?" Jessica mumbled pointing fingers at Morgan, tears gushing from her eyes.
"No, Jessica, it's not what you think! This woman you call your stepmother is nothing but a witch. You won't believe her true intentions toward you if I tell you!" Morgan tried to explain, desperate for Jessica to believe him, but she turned her head away.
"Jessica, don't you think we should teach this man a lesson? He should be sent behind bars," Abigail declared, then picked up her phone and called the police.
Minutes later, the police barged into the house, armed with a gun, their eyes and present was so cold and real making it hard for anybody to suspect if they were real policemen. They were dressed like officers, but something about them seemed off and suspicious.
"Seize him! He's a thief, and he belongs to be kept behind bars! After defrauding us by marrying my daughter, he then had the audacity to plan on stealing one of her companies, conniving with some unknown others to compose a false fraudulent activity that was been traced back to the company all for the plan of taking the company away from Jessica my step daughter, isn't that insane," Abigail explained her voice ranting like a dog.
"No it's all a lie, I know nothing of what she's talking about," Morgan tried to protest but was restrained by the policemen.
