SHAWNA

I stepped into the party, feeling the weight of the night ahead of me. The music was loud, the chatter was constant, and everywhere I looked, there was laughter and smiles. It was a lively scene, and for a moment, I almost felt like I belonged. Almost. My kids were excited, running ahead with my mother and grandfather, eager to be part of the action. I tried to hide my nerves behind a smile, but tonight wasn’t just any night.

I barely got a chance to breathe before I saw Eugene. She was standing near the buffet table, looking as perfect as always, her eyes scanning the room, no doubt for me. She had that smirk on her face, the one that always sent a shiver down my spine. It was the kind of smirk that told you she thought she was better than you, that she could ruin your life with a single look if she wanted to. And just when I thought I could slip past her, I felt her eyes lock onto me, and it was like the world slowed down.

“Shawna,” Eugene called out, her voice oozing with sa

  • Runaway With Mr. CEO’s Triplets   Chapter 366

    RAMONI pushed open the front door of my uncle’s mansion and walked in, tired but relieved. The trip to the other company had gone well, and everything was finally in order. I could finally relax a bit. Maybe even take a proper nap.I found Uncle Richard in the living room, sipping his usual evening tea, with that calm, unreadable look on his face.“It’s done,” I said, dropping my bag by the side. “Handled everything at the company. Staff has been restructured, finances are back on track. They’ll send you the reports by Monday.”He nodded slightly, like he was expecting nothing less. “That’s good.”I waited for a moment, expecting him to say more. Maybe a word of appreciation. But he just went back to staring at the fireplace like I wasn’t even in the room anymore.I sighed. “Alright, I’ll head out.”I turned to leave, dragging my feet slightly. My body was tired from the long trip and the endless meetings, but my mind was even more drained. I just wanted to lie down, maybe take a hot

    PHOEBEI stepped out of Richard’s mansion with tears burning in my eyes and my heart broken in pieces. The cold evening air hit my face, but it couldn’t cool the fire of pain rising in my chest. My legs felt heavy, like I was dragging my whole body through mud.Winnie walked me out.“Phoebe?” she said softly. “Oh my God… I’m sorry about what happened?”I didn’t answer. I just walked straight into her arms and let out a shaky breath. She held me tightly, gently rubbing my back.“I don’t even know why I came,” I whispered against her shoulder. “He doesn’t want to see me, Win. He said it himself. He wants nothing to do with me.”Winnie’s arms tightened around me. “No. No, that can’t be true. He… he was probably just upset. Hurt. People say things when they’re hurting.”I shook my head. “No. He meant it. You heard him over the phone too. He doesn’t care. That we’re done. That I should leave.”Winnie slowly pulled back, her hands still on my shoulders. She looked into my eyes like she was

    PHOEBERichard didn’t react at first. He just stared at me like he was trying to read my thoughts.“I’m sorry for coming unannounced. I just… I really need your help.”I heard my own voice tremble. My eyes darted briefly to the floor before finding Richard’s again. I hated that I sounded so desperate, but I was. Completely and utterly desperate.Richard frowned, his brows pulling together. “What’s going on? Is something wrong?”I nodded slowly, my fingers wringing each other nervously in front of me. “It’s Ramon. I’ve been trying to find him all day. His apartment’s locked up. It looks like no one’s there. Curtains drawn. Door locked. Lights off. I knocked, I waited… nothing.”Richard’s expression changed subtly. Concern started creeping in.“I tried calling him. Several times. But his number’s not going through. It’s not even ringing.” I paused, struggling to keep my voice steady. “And I’ve spoken to some people who used to see him often…security at his place, a few mutual friends. N

    PHOEBELater that day, I was still sitting at my desk, staring at the resignation letter in my hands like it might change if I looked at it long enough. It didn’t. The words stayed the same.I stood up and walked over to Clara’s desk. She looked up from her computer and gave me a soft smile before bowing to greet me.“Clara,” I said, holding up the letter. “Do you know where Ramon is? I need to speak with him.”She frowned and shook her head. “Oh… he left early this morning. Said he had something urgent to take care of. He didn’t say where he was going.”I felt my chest tighten. “Did he seem okay?”Clara paused, thinking. “I don’t know. He was quiet. Didn’t really talk to anyone. Just packed up his stuff and left.”“Packed up?”She nodded. “Yeah. Said he wouldn’t be coming back for a while.”That made my heart drop. What the hell was going on?I left the office immediately. I didn’t even bother to grab my bag. I just walked out, got into a cab, and told the driver to take me to Ramon’

    PHOEBEI sat on my bed staring at nothing. My eyes were sore from crying, but no more tears came. I felt empty. Numb.A soft knock pulled me out of my thoughts. I blinked and looked up."Come in," I said quietly.To my surprise, it wasn’t Winnie. It was my grandmother."Grandma?" I said, standing up.She walked in slowly, her eyes scanning my face like she could read every thought running wild in my head. She didn’t say anything at first. She just came straight to me and pulled me into a hug. No words, no questions, just warmth. And in that moment, I cracked."Oh, my sweet girl," she whispered into my hair. "What’s wrong?"I hugged her tighter, and the tears came again, harder this time. I couldn’t stop them even if I tried. The sobs came from somewhere deep, somewhere I didn’t know still ached this much."I feel like I don’t know him," I sobbed, my voice shaking. "I feel like everything I believed was a lie."She didn’t say anything right away. Just rubbed my back gently, like she us

    RAMONThe moment I saw her, my heart stopped.There she was, Phoebe. Standing by the garden path with the sun behind her, making her hair glow like it always used to when we’d sit on the porch together. I couldn’t move at first. I just stared.“Phoebe,” I said, finally stepping forward.She looked up, and our eyes met, but the look on her face hit me like a punch in the gut. No warmth. No relief. Just surprise… and something that felt like pain and disappointment rolled into one.She turned away instantly, like she couldn’t get away fast enough.“Wait…Phoebe, wait!” I rushed forward.She didn’t stop. She picked up her pace, but I caught up to her. I reached out and lightly grabbed her arm. “Please. Don’t go. Just let me talk.”“Let go of me, Ramon,” she said, her voice low and cold.I did. I stepped back, hands raised. “Okay. I’m sorry. I just… I wasn’t expecting to see you. I didn’t think you’d come out here.”“Well, I didn’t think I’d run into you,” she snapped. “Yet here we are.”“

    BILLYI watched the door close behind Phoebe as she walked out of the room. My eyes followed her, but she didn’t even glance back. She just left.Jasper was standing beside me, arms folded, a puzzled look on his face. We both turned slowly to look at Winnie, who was still sitting on the edge of the bed. Her hands were clasped together, and she looked like she was trying not to say too much.“What’s going on?” I asked, breaking the silence first. “She just left us standing here.”“Yeah,” Jasper added. “She looked upset. And Ramon walked out earlier, looking like someone kicked his soul out. What’s happening?”Winnie looked up at us and sighed. “It’s… complicated.”Jasper raised an eyebrow. “Complicated how?”She stood up slowly, smoothing her shirt. “It’s something you should really hear from Phoebe.”“But she’s not exactly giving out answers right now, is she?” I said. “We’re her brothers. We have a right to know what’s happening with her.”“I agree,” Jasper added, nodding. “Did she r

    PHOEBEThat morning, I woke up to the quiet hum of birds outside the window. For once, I didn’t have to rush to work or pretend everything was fine. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, trying not to think too much.The soft floral curtains swayed gently with the breeze, and for a moment, everything felt peaceful. But that peace didn’t reach inside me. I felt like I was just floating, present in body, but far from okay. My eyes were heavy from lack of sleep, and my chest ached from holding in tears all night. Still, I stayed there, wrapped in Winnie’s guest blanket, letting the silence stretch as long as it could.Winnie had helped sneak me into her house late last night, and I was grateful."Are you going to tell your parents you’re here?" she asked softly that morning as she came into the room with a cup of warm tea.I sat up slowly, blinking away the crust from my eyes. "There’s no need. They’ll just ask questions I’m not ready to answer."She nodded and handed me the cup. The mug

    RAMONI stood there for a long time, watching Phoebe walk away. Her words echoed in my head like a sharp slap: “I never want to see you again.” I wanted to chase after her, to make her listen, to explain everything. But I couldn’t. Not when I didn’t even have the answers she needed.Not when everything in my life was already broken beyond repair.Maybe she was right to leave. Maybe this was the best thing for her. That’s what I kept telling myself as I dragged myself back to my uncle’s house. It was late, and the street was too quiet, like even the night wanted nothing to do with me.When I stepped inside, Uncle Richard looked up from the couch. He was lounging like a king in his robe, glass of whiskey in hand, the flickering TV light painting shadows across his aging face. He looked too calm for someone who had just helped me destroy the only thing that ever made sense in my life.“Well, look who’s back,” he said, a slow smile curling at the corners of his lips. “I take it she finall
