PHOEBE

After the argument with Mom, I stayed back in Grandma’s room, breathing hard. My chest felt tight. I didn’t even realize I was shaking until Grandma placed her hand gently on mine.

“Sweetheart,” she said softly, her voice like warm tea, “take a deep breath.”

I blinked and tried to slow down my breathing, but my throat felt like it was closing. “Why does she have to be like that?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “She doesn’t even know him that much.”

Grandma looked at me with those calm eyes of hers, full of understanding. “Your mother is worried. That’s all. She just wants the best for you.”

“Then she should trust me,” I said, my voice rising before I caught myself. “I’ve never done anything crazy before. I’ve always listened. Why is this so different?”

“She’s scared,” Grandma said. “Sometimes fear makes people say the wrong things. Sometimes love comes out sounding like control.”

I swallowed hard and looked down at our hands. Her fingers were warm and steady around m

  • Runaway With Mr. CEO’s Triplets   Chapter 469

    RICHARDI drove in silence.The engine purred beneath me like a beast I had full control of. The sun was dipping, orange light spilling across the cracked windows of the abandoned city streets. Lennox Street. Warehouse district. Perfect spot for a showdown.I parked two blocks away."Get them out," I told Bryce.He opened the back door of the van and dragged out the two figures. Bound. Gagged. Scared. Just the way I needed them."She said she wanted to end it," I muttered, lighting a cigarette. "Let's see how serious she really is."Phoebe. So predictable. Brave when no one was looking. I knew she'd try something eventually. I just didn’t expect her to grow a spine this soon. That fire in her, she didn’t get it from her father. That was all me.I flicked ash to the ground and stared at the warehouse in the distance. A forgotten place for forgotten people. Rust hugged the beams like a second skin. Windows were cracked, broken like promises. It was perfect.I adjusted my coat, smoothed

    PHOEBEI stared at the burner phone in my hand, heart pounding like it was trying to warn me not to go through with it. Everyone had gone quiet around me, Stephen loading his gear in the background, Winnie pacing slowly with arms crossed, Ava watching the laptop screen, and Teresa beside me, her face unreadable.I swallowed hard and turned to Ramon. “You sure we’re ready?”He nodded once. “We’ve got eyes everywhere. He won’t touch you.”“That’s not what I asked,” I whispered.His gaze softened. “I’m sure. And I trust you.”I turned back to the phone. My hands were sweating. This was it. One call. One lie. One chance to pull a monster out from hiding.I dialed his number.It rang once.Twice.Three times.Then… that familiar voice, smooth and cold like the edge of a knife.“Well, well… I was starting to think you forgot about me.”My throat tightened, but I forced myself to breathe. “Hi, Richard.”There was a pause. Then a slow laugh. “Phoebe. You sound nervous.”“I’m not.”“You’re lyi

    WINNIEI knew something was wrong the second I walked into Phoebe’s room.“Phoebe?” I called out, checking the living room.No answer.I moved to the kitchen, then her room. Still nothing.My chest tightened. I pulled out my phone and dialed her.It rang once. Twice. Then voicemail.“Stephen,” I said quickly, running to his room. “She’s gone.”He looked up from his laptop. “What do you mean gone?”“She left after that fight with her dad and Ramon. She said she needed air. That was what Ramon told me. But she’s not answering her phone. She’s not here.”Stephen stood up. “I’ll track her phone.”I followed him back to his desk, heart pounding.He clicked a few times, typing rapidly. “Got it. Last location pinged fifteen minutes ago…an abandoned hotel down on Willow Street.”My stomach dropped. “That place is creepy.”He grabbed his keys. “Let’s go.”We drove fast. I could barely breathe. I stared out the window, praying. Please let her be okay. Please.We reached the hotel. It was exactl

    PHOEBEI stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind me.I didn’t even care where I was going. I just needed to walk. To breathe. To be away from Ramon and my father and all their stupid plans. I shoved my hands into my jacket pockets and kept walking, my boots crunching against the gravel path."Kill him," I whispered to myself bitterly. "Just like that. No court. No trial. Just end him."My chest ached. I couldn’t believe this was what it had come to. My own father. Ramon. They were okay with blood on their hands. I wasn’t. Not like that.The wind was sharp against my face, and I realized too late that I’d walked into the outskirts of the neighborhood. It was darker here. Fewer lights. Fewer people.Still, I didn’t turn back.I pulled out my phone and checked the signal. One bar. I sighed and kept walking.That’s when I heard it.A soft shuffle. Like a footstep behind me.I turned quickly, my eyes scanning the empty street. "Hello?"Silence."Ramon, if that’s you..." I didn’t

    RAMONMr. Damien stood by the window, arms folded, his jaw clenched so tight it looked like it might snap. The silence in the room was heavy, pressing down on us. I leaned against the wall, watching him as he stared out into the darkness like he was trying to make it swallow him whole."I made the call," he finally said, voice low but sharp.I looked up. "What call?"He didn’t turn around. "Someone I know. Old contact. Not clean. Not legal. But he gets things done."My chest tightened. "You’re serious?"Mr. Damien turned then, his eyes red around the edges. "Ramon, I’m done. I’ve had enough. We’ve tried tracking Richard. We’ve tried playing it smart. What’s changed? Nothing. He’s still out there, and we’re still targets. I’m not letting him take another step toward my family."I exhaled slowly. "So you’re bringing in a hitman?""Call him whatever you want," He snapped. "He’ll make sure Richard never breathes again. That’s what matters."Just then, Phoebe walked in. She paused, instant

    STEPHENI stood at the edge of the porch, phone pressed to my ear, waiting.One ring. Two. Three.“Ava.” Her voice snapped through the speaker before I could even say hello. “If you’re calling, someone’s dying.”I smirked faintly. “Nice to hear your voice, too.”“You still owe me a motorcycle, Stephen.”“And you still owe me for dragging your ass out of Yemen, so I’d say we’re even.”She chuckled. “Okay. That’s fair. What’s going on?”I exhaled slowly, glancing back at the house. “I need backup. Not just muscle. Brains, stealth, and a mean shot.”“You finally proposing?”“Not today.”She laughed. “You sound serious. Who’s the target?”“Name’s Richard. Faked his death. Blew up a prison to cover it. He’s got connections in law enforcement, weapons stockpiled, and now he’s targeting innocent people. Including someone I care about.”There was a pause.“You care?” she said in mock surprise. “Wow. Someone mark the calendar.”I smiled despite myself. “Can you come or not?”“When do you need
