“I’m worried about Phoebe.”

Damien rubbed his eyes and sat up a little, the room dimly lit by the moonlight slipping through the curtains. “She said she was just tired.”

I shook my head, tugging the blanket tighter around my shoulders. “No. Something’s not right. She’s been quiet. She didn’t even argue with the boys this morning. That girl could be in a boxing ring with them most days, and today… nothing. Her eyes looked swollen. Like she cried all night.”

Damien sighed, glancing at the doorway as if he could somehow see down the hall to Phoebe’s room. “You think something happened with Ramon?”

“I know it did,” I whispered. “She won’t say it, but I can feel it. It’s in her silence, in how slow she moved today. She wouldn’t even touch her breakfast. And you saw her face…flat, no spark. She’s not just tired, Damien. She’s hurting.”

He nodded slowly, thoughtfully. “Maybe they fought.”

“Maybe,” I said, then paused. “But what kind of fight makes her cry all night and pretend like ev

  • Runaway With Mr. CEO’s Triplets   Chapter 381

    PHOEBEI walked out of my office, curious about the sudden noise and murmurs coming from the main hall. The moment I stepped out, my eyes caught her immediately. She was standing by the entrance, like she owned the place. Her long, straight hair fell perfectly over her shoulders. The bold red lipstick she wore made her lips stand out sharply, and the short red dress hugged her figure in a way that screamed for attention.But what shocked me most was that she wasn’t on the guest list. I hadn’t invited her. Yet here she was, standing confidently, watching me as if I were the one intruding in her world.I stopped right there, my heart skipping a beat. Then I narrowed my eyes, feeling a rush of irritation mixed with caution. Slowly, I took a step toward her.“Excuse me,” I said sharply, my voice cold and steady. “What are you doing here?”She turned to face me, a slow, smug smile spreading across her face. “You must be Phoebe.”“And you are?” I asked, keeping my tone firm, not letting her

    SHAWNARichard nodded, calm as ever. Too calm. Like he’d just said, the weather was cloudy.“Yes,” he replied, his tone flat. “It happened a long time ago.”I blinked, my mouth slightly open, trying to process what I’d just heard. My eyes moved back to the photo like it would explain more if I stared hard enough. My stomach tightened.“Oh my God,” I whispered. “That’s... that’s awful. Who was it?”Richard didn’t answer right away. He looked at me for a brief second, just enough for me to catch something in his eyes, maybe hesitation or a flicker of discomfort. Then he looked away, standing up slowly and walking back toward the couch.“Doesn’t matter now,” he muttered, sitting down and leaning back like we’d just been talking about the weather or some minor inconvenience.My husband leaned forward, clearly just as thrown off as I was.“Come on, Richard. It matters. If it didn’t, you wouldn’t be telling us.”Richard shrugged, his eyes on the floor. “I just thought you should know.”I st

    PHOEBEMy phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. Over and over again, the screen lit up beside my plate as I tried to focus on my breakfast. I didn’t even have to check, I already knew who it was.Ramon.The buzzing felt like it was shaking the table itself, each vibration louder than the last.“Seriously, Phoebe,” Jasper groaned from across the table. “Can you tell your boyfriend to chill? We’re trying to eat here.”“Yeah,” Billy added, stabbing at his pancakes like they offended him. “The constant buzzing is killing my appetite.”I didn’t say anything. I didn’t even look up. I just stared at the food on my plate…eggs, toast, a few slices of fruit. It looked fine, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat.“Phoebe,” my dad’s voice cut in, calm but firm. He set his fork and knife down with a soft clink and gave me that serious dad look. “No phones at the table.”I let out a tiny sigh and nodded. “Sorry.”I reached for the phone and slid it into my bag, the buzzing still going even as I zipped it up. I

    RAMONI slammed the door shut after Ciara finally stepped out, her heels clicking against the tiled floor as she made her slow, dramatic exit. She turned at the last second, trying to say something smug again, but I didn’t let her."Get out, Ciara. Just leave," I growled, slamming the door so hard the frame rattled. My chest was rising and falling with every angry breath. My fists were clenched, and my head was spinning.I couldn’t believe it. Ciara. In my uncle's house. Acting like she belonged there. Acting like I was the one who had something to answer for. The message. The smug laughter. Her calling Phoebe a pet. My blood boiled just thinking about it.Without even thinking, I turned and marched through the house until I found him."Uncle Richard!" I barked, my voice echoing through the hallway.He was in his study, casually sipping tea like he hadn’t just blown up my entire life."Ah, Ramon. Back so soon?" he said, not even looking up from his cup.I stormed into the room, slammi

    RAMONI stormed out of the hotel the moment Phoebe walked away. My chest was tight, and I could barely breathe. I didn’t even wait for the elevator…I took the stairs, needing to move, to burn off the anger and confusion swirling in my head.Why did she leave like that? Why didn’t she give me a chance to explain?That message. That stupid message.I wasn’t even sure how it got through. I hadn’t spoken to Ciara in months. I blocked her number, deleted every trace of her from my life. I had no idea how she was still managing to get to me.And now… she ruined everything.By the time I reached home, my head was pounding. I didn’t even notice the extra car parked outside until I opened the door.Then I saw her.Ciara. Sitting comfortably on the living room couch, sipping wine like she lived here.“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked, frozen in place.Her face lit up like she’d been waiting for me all day. “Ramon! Oh my God, finally!”She got up and came straight toward me, arms wide

    PHOEBEI didn’t wait. I couldn’t.The moment he said nothing, I turned around and picked up my bag with shaky hands.“Phoebe, please,” Ramon said, standing up and moving toward me. “Just listen…she means nothing to me. I’m not involved with her.”I refused to look at him. If I looked at him, I’d crumble. And I didn’t want to cry in front of him again.“She called you baby, Ramon,” I said flatly, my voice cold. “She asked if you were still busy with your uncle’s little pet project. That’s me, right? The project?”He stepped closer, his voice soft but urgent. “You’re not a project. Don’t ever say that again. You’re everything to me. I was going to tell you….I was. But you didn’t let me talk.”I didn’t answer. I just pulled open the door and walked out.“Phoebe!” he called behind me, his voice breaking.But I didn’t stop. I didn’t turn back.The drive back home felt like hours, even though it was less than twenty minutes. I kept wiping my tears, trying not to let the driver see my tears.

    PHOEBEThe phone slipped from my fingers and fell to the floor with a loud thud.I just stared at it, frozen. My chest felt tight. I couldn’t breathe.Pet project? Was that me? Was I the pet project?I slowly stood up, trying to stay calm, but my head was spinning.I walked to the bathroom like a robot. Every step felt heavier than the last, like my legs didn’t even want to move anymore. My chest was tight, and my head was spinning. I could barely breathe. My hands were shaking. My lips quivered as I tried to swallow the lump growing in my throat.My eyes were already burning with tears before I even shut the door behind me.The moment the lock clicked, I broke down.I slid to the floor at first, then pulled myself up and sat on the edge of the tub. My arms wrapped tightly around myself like I could hold all the broken pieces together if I just squeezed hard enough. But nothing worked. Nothing helped.The sobs came before I could even fight them. Big, loud, ugly sobs that echoed off t

    PHOEBE I curled into Ramon’s arms, resting my head on his chest. His heartbeat was slow and steady, and for the first time in a long while, I felt peace. Real peace. Like the world outside didn’t matter, and all I needed was right here with me.He ran his hand slowly up and down my back, whispering soft things I could barely hear.“You feel like home, Phoebe,” he murmured, his lips brushing the top of my head. “I don’t think I’ve breathed properly until tonight.”I smiled, feeling warm all over. “That’s cheesy.”“I’m serious,” he said, chuckling lightly. “I don’t deserve you.”“Stop,” I whispered. “Don’t say that.”“I’m scared this will all go away,” he whispered, his eyes fluttering shut. “I don’t want to wake up and find out this is a dream…”I placed my hand on his chest, feeling the slow rhythm under my palm. “Then don’t sleep. Stay awake with me.”He smiled softly. “I’ll try.”But in less than five minutes, I felt his breathing slow. His arms were still wrapped around me, but hi
