PHOEBE

I was tired. I just wanted to get home, take off my shoes, and crawl into bed. But the moment I walked into the house, I felt the tension hit me like a wall.

Winnie was sitting on the couch.

And my two brothers, Jasper and Billy, were standing next to her, arms crossed like bodyguards. The look on their faces said everything.

“What’s going on?” I asked, closing the door behind me.

Winnie stood up slowly. “We need to talk.”

“I can see that,” I said, dropping my purse on the side table. “But what I don’t get is why you’re here… with my brothers.”

“Phoebe,” Jasper started, “Winnie told us about the man you ran into at the mall. The one holding hands with that girl.”

I blinked. “Richard?”

“Yes,” Billy said, stepping forward. “She said he looked familiar and he happens to be Ramon’s uncle.”

I froze, my heart suddenly pounding in my chest. “She told you that?”

“Yes,” Jasper added with a serious look on his face. “And we think you need to be careful with this whole issue. It seems lik

  • Runaway With Mr. CEO’s Triplets   Chapter 455

    SHAWNAThe kitchen clock ticked too loudly.I folded the last of the dishtowels and looked around. The house was too quiet. Too still. I frowned."Where are they?" I muttered under my breath.I wiped my hands on the cloth and called out, “Mom? Damien? Anyone seen the kids?”Damien walked in from the living room, cradling a steaming mug of tea. He looked calm, unbothered. “They said they’d be around the backyard earlier. Haven’t seen them since.”I glanced toward the back window. The yard was empty now. The breeze rustled through the trees. No voices. No laughter. No sign of them.Something in my chest tightened.“Phoebe didn’t say anything before leaving?” I asked, already reaching for my phone.Damien shook his head. “Not a word. I thought maybe you knew.”I dialed Phoebe first. It rang once. Twice. Voicemail.I frowned and tried again. Still no answer.I moved on, Ramon, then Winnie, then Stephen. One by one, they all didn’t pick up.My voice was tense. “None of them are answering.”

    PHOEBEThe second Stephen said he was ex-military, I froze.Ramon blinked beside me, confused and clearly caught off guard. "Wait... what?"Stephen nodded, steady despite the blood staining his shirt. "I served. A long time ago. Special reconnaissance. That’s how I saw him. That’s how I knew."My mouth opened, but no words came out. My mind was racing, piecing things together. The way he’d disappeared so quickly. The calm, the precision. It all made sense now."You fought that guy alone?" I asked, stepping closer.Stephen winced a little, pressing his hand to the side of his stomach. "He had a blade. Got one lucky hit in. But he won’t be hurting anyone ever again."Just then, the front door opened with a quiet creak and Winnie stepped out, still nibbling on a cupcake and humming to herself. She stopped mid-step.Her eyes landed on Stephen, on the blood staining his shirt, the way he leaned heavily against the railing, one hand pressed to his side.Her expression changed instantly."St

    PHOEBEI had just gotten back to my seat, forcing a calm, practiced smile on my face, when I heard a soft voice behind me."Phoebe. Don’t move."I turned slightly, eyebrows raised. It was Stephen. His tone was so calm, so steady, it almost didn’t match the urgency in his eyes."What?" I whispered, barely moving my lips."There's a gun pointed at you," he said under his breath, gaze sweeping the crowd like he was just scanning for a friend.A chill raced down my spine.I laughed nervously because I knew. "Are you joking?"Stephen didn’t blink. "I'm not. I need you to stay exactly where you are. Don’t turn around. Don’t panic. Just breathe."My hands trembled. I tried to still them as I picked up my phone and opened a new message to Ramon.Stephen knows. He says there's a gun pointed at me. He’s going to neutralize the threat.Stephen leaned closer, his voice barely audible over the soft hum of conversation and music. “In thirty seconds, I’m going to move. Just keep talking to Winnie li

    PHOEBEThe music drifted through the backyard like smoke, soft and sweet. My parents’ get-together was in full swing. Fairy lights hung in loops between the trees, casting a golden glow over the patio. People laughed, drank, and danced. For the first time in weeks, maybe months, I felt light again. Safe.I swirled my drink and smiled as Winnie skipped over to me, cheeks flushed."Having fun?" I asked.Winnie laughed, twirling the end of her braid. "Yeah. More than I expected to."I raised an eyebrow. "More than you expected? Why's that?"Her eyes darted across the yard. I followed her gaze and spotted Stephen leaning against the railing, sipping from a bottle of soda and watching the crowd with quiet amusement. I looked back at Winnie, who was now blushing furiously."Oh my god," I grinned. "You're crushing on him.""No, I'm not," she said too quickly."You so are! Your face is pinker than your dress."She groaned and covered her face with her hands. "This is so stupid. I’ve had a cru

    RAMONI didn’t expect the rage to hit me so fast."You killed them," I said, my voice shaking, low and bitter. "You killed every single one of them just so you could fake your death?"Richard smiled like he was talking about the weather. Calm. Unbothered. "They helped me. But help only goes so far, nephew. They might get greedy. I couldn’t risk that."I stared at him, sick to my stomach. "You murdered them. Guards. Inmates. Innocent people. Just to stage your little vanishing act?"He tilted his head. "You think they were all innocent? You think the state hires saints to run prisons? Come on. Don’t be naïve."I clenched my fists so hard, I felt my nails pierce my skin. The heat inside me was almost unbearable. "You’re disgusting."He still didn’t flinch. "I did what I had to."I stepped forward. "Then why are you here? You think I’ll just stand here and do nothing? You think I won’t report you?"That was when he pulled the phone from his coat pocket and calmly turned the screen toward

    RAMONThe phone call came just after sunrise.I was still in bed, the early light creeping through the curtains. My eyes burned from barely sleeping. The ringtone jolted me upright.“Mr. Ramon? This is Deputy Elkins. I'm calling from the station. There has been an incident at the prison. A fire.”I sat up slowly, my hands gripping the sheets like they were the only thing keeping me upright. The room felt colder somehow. “A fire? What kind of fire?”“An explosion, sir. It spread fast. Most of the facility is gone. All the inmates and guards they’re presumed dead.”I froze. My heart pounded against my ribs like it was trying to get out. I pressed the phone tighter to my ear, struggling to breathe. “You’re saying Richard is… gone?”The deputy hesitated. “We can’t confirm individual bodies, sir. The fire was extensive. But… there were no survivors. We’ll need you to come down and sign his death certificate.”I didn’t respond right away.Gone?My uncle… gone?After everything?The silence
