• Runaway With Mr. CEO’s Triplets   Chapter 447

  PHOEBEI opened the door to the hospital room and froze.There she was, Winnie, taller, thinner, but unmistakably alive. Her eyes widened, and a huge, broken smile spread across her face.“Winnie!” I whispered, my voice cracking.She stepped forward and dropped her bag at her feet. “Phoebe!” Her arms wrapped around me so tight I felt like I’d never breathe again.I clung to her like I was afraid she’d vanish. “You’re here. You’re really here.”She pulled back, her hands on my shoulders, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I am. I’m alive.”I stared at her face, worn, a little thinner, but it was Winnie. My Winnie. “I thought… I thought I had lost you forever.”“It wasn’t your fault,” she whispered, her voice gentle, grounding. “And I know you blamed yourself. But I’m here.”I stepped back slightly and searched her face. “Winnie… I’m so sorry I didn’t listen. I should’ve fought harder. I should’ve believed in you.”She shook her head. “You did what you could. You trusted me once. That wa

  WINNIEI and Stephen sat on the boat’s deck, the wind tugging at my damp hair and the sea rocking gently below. Moonlight shimmered across the water. I’d waited for this moment for what felt like forever, and now that it was here... my heart pounded in my chest like a drum solo I couldn’t stop.“Nearly there,” the boat captain said, leaning over. “We hit the mainland in about an hour.”I nodded, my voice gone. I’d survived an accident that killed many. I’d been on a remote island for weeks. Seasickness nearly took me again. But now… home was close.“Dad,” I whispered to the waves. Tears stung my eyes. “I’m coming home.”And then there was Phoebe. I pictured her face when she saw me, still pale from being shot. Saw her expression, relief giving way to shock. Felt the ache in her arm. I hoped she was okay.My thoughts crashed into one another.It got dark. The sky became a blank canvas of navy. The boat slowed at a dock.“We’re here,” the captain announced.Stephen held my hands and we

  PHOEBEI blinked up at the ceiling, wincing a little as pain shot through my shoulder.“Phoebe?” a soft voice said.I turned my head. Mom. Dad. Great Grandpa. All standing there, hovering, eyes wide with relief and exhaustion.“Hey,” I whispered. My voice sounded like sandpaper.“Oh my God,” Mom breathed and came to my side. “You’re awake. Thank God.”I tried to sit up, but she gently pressed my good shoulder down. “Don’t rush it.”“How long?” I asked.“Two days,” Dad said, stepping closer. “You gave us all a scare.”“I got shot, didn’t I?” I managed a weak smile.Dad nodded, face hard. “In the arm. Missed anything vital. You were lucky.”“Where’s… where’s Ramon?” I asked, eyes scanning the room.There was a pause. Then Ramon stepped out from behind Dad, eyes soft, a faint bruise under his jaw.“I’m here,” he said, voice low. “I didn’t leave. I wasn’t going to.”I felt my heart skip. “What happened?”“We got them,” he said. “The police came in time. The men who attacked us…they’re in

  RAMONI had just pulled Phoebe behind me when she went still in my arms.“Phoebe!” I whispered, panic gripping my throat. Her weight sagged against me like a thread cut loose.I dropped to one knee, cradling her, my heart pounding like war drums. Her head lolled against my shoulder, her skin too pale, her lips trembling.“Stay with me…please,” I choked out, brushing the hair from her face.Her eyes fluttered once… then closed. And that was when I saw it, the blood soaking through the thin fabric of her sleeve. It spread quickly, dark and terrifying.“Medic!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the chaos. “She’s been hit!”Damien’s voice boomed from somewhere across the room. “Call an ambulance! Get help now!”The sound of sirens tore through the tension in the air. Red and blue lights danced across the walls, flashing through shattered glass and bullet holes. Doors burst open. Police poured into the room like a tide, uniformed, shouting, guns drawn.“Everyone get down! Drop your weapo

  PHOEBEI was pinned behind Ramon, my back tight against his chest as the world around us exploded.Gunfire shattered the windows, tore through the walls. Each bullet sounded like a bomb, wood cracked, glass rained down in shards. My ears rang. My chest heaved. I couldn’t breathe.Ramon pressed himself over me like a human shield, his arms braced on either side of me, his body tense and unmoving.“Stay down, Phoebe,” he whispered, but his voice shook. “I promise. I won’t let anything happen to you.”I clutched his arm, my fingers digging into his sleeve, gripping tight like he was the only thing keeping me from falling apart. I couldn’t stop trembling. My legs had gone completely numb.Fear burned through my veins like fire. I could barely hear myself think. Every sound was louder than the last, bullets thudding into furniture, plaster raining from the ceiling, someone shouting orders outside.“Why…” I gasped, my voice cracking. “Why are they doing this?”“Richard,” Ramon breathed. “It

  SHAWNAI walked into the sitting room and froze.There they were, Phoebe and Ramon, sitting way too close on the couch. Her eyes were swollen and red, tear stains on her cheeks. Ramon’s hand was on her back, his brows drawn together in that same sad, apologetic look I’d seen too many times.Something snapped in me.“Get out,” I said, my voice sharp and cold.Ramon looked up slowly. “Ms. Shawna…”“I said get out,” I snapped. “You’re not welcome here.”He stood up, like he was going to explain, but I raised a hand. “Don’t. Don’t even try.”Phoebe stood up too, her face pale. “Mom, please. Let me explain…”“No,” I said firmly, looking straight at her. “Not this time, Phoebe. I’m done listening to excuses. I’m done pretending like this is okay.”“He didn’t come here to hurt anyone…”“And you believe that? After everything?” I asked, my voice cracking. “After what happened to Winnie?”Phoebe blinked, her mouth falling slightly open.“He’s not the enemy,” she said quietly. “You don’t know t
