“Everything is ready. The team is waiting for you downstairs,” Mr. Martins announced.

I glanced again at the vanity before me in the extra room of my office.

Today was the first official meeting for the contract, scheduled to take place at the Ronald Reagan Building by 10 a.m.

The wall clock behind me read 8:45 a.m.

I’d reported to work as early as 7. The triplets were still asleep, worn out after a long night with their new puppy.

Upon arrival in my office, I’d changed into one of Mr. Émile Laurent’s newest creations: a custom-tailored emerald-green power suit, sculpted to hug my silhouette. It matched a pair of wide-leg trousers that fell over my perfectly polished black stilettos.

The glam team had come and gone. My makeup was soft yet defined.

My hair was pulled into a low bun, and my accessories were minimal but bold.

Taking a deep breath, I turned to Mr. Martins, a small smile on my lips.

“Alright. Let’s do this.”

He led the way.

Downstairs in the lobby, I met with my te

  • The Billionaire's Hidden Triplets   CHAPTER 89

    —Mabel—Memories of that night six years ago flashed in my head. Of this same woman dragging me down the hallway and shoving me into Alec's room.She'd set me up.And now, she tried to hurt my friend.My hands clenched until my knuckles turned white.“What are the odds that the woman who set me up years ago suddenly turned up?”Alec shook his head. “I've been looking for her, to no avail. The private detectives I hired claimed she was a ghost.”I met his gaze. “A ghost?”“She's supposed to be dead... something like that.”Gnashing, I raked my fingers through my hair and walked back to bed.“Only one person was in the picture that night six years ago. This same person had threatened to hurt Ruth.”“Who?” Alec asked. “Angelina?”I let him connect the dots. When he did, his eyes widened.“Wait. What?” he rasped. “Why would Angelina set me up?”Again, I let him figure it out.A beat passed. Then, Alec gasped, twice.He pulled out his phone and dialed in a number.“Who are you calling?” I

    —Mabel—The flight to New York was one hour.The speakers crackled to life and Alec's voice came through them.“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We are now approaching Teterboro Airport. We expect to land shortly. Please, ensure you're seated and belts fastened. Thank you for choosing Rivera Air.”Through the oval window, the sky gradually gave way to a dense cluster of skyscrapers. Sunlight bounced off the Empire State Building and shimmered over the Hudson River.Nathaniel gasped. “Is that—”“Yes, the Statue of Liberty,” Mrs. Chukwuemeka answered with a chuckle.Teterboro Airport came into view ahead. With a soft jolt, the jet’s landing gear touched down on the tarmac. We taxied past rows of private jets before coming to a stop near a discreet glass terminal.While one hostess opened the door, another approached with a smile.“The Captain has asked me to bring the children.”“Yay!” the kids cheered and dashed past her to the cockpit.There was something heart-war

    —Mabel—“This is no coincidence,” I muttered, turning to Alec. “The short-circuited coffee maker, the noise in the foyer, and the hands pushing her down the stairs.”“You think someone is trying to hurt, Ruth?”“Yes. And the first person that comes to my mind is Angelina. Seeing that she couldn’t hurt me, she decided to go after my friend.”Alec's jaw clenched. He started towards the door, but I held his hand.“Where are you going?”“I'm going after Angelina.”“No, Alec.” I tightened my grip and dropped my voice to a whisper. “Remember what happened with Tom? She could set you up too.”“We let the law take its course.”I smiled. “Exactly. We should follow the right legal procedures.”He let out a breath. “That reminds me, Marcus called this afternoon. The court has scheduled a preliminary hearing for the restraining order against Angelina Lancaster on Monday at 10 a.m. at the D.C. Superior Court.”A gasp left my lips. I blinked.“Now that must be why she attacked Ruth. She's received

    —Mabel—An icy cold calm washed over me. The thought of something happening to Ruth, anything at all.I jerked to my feet. “I need to go check up on her.”“I'm coming with you,” Alec said, also rising to his feet.“Mommy, Daddy? Where are you going?” Eloise asked. The children stared at us with confused, wide eyes.That reminded me of Mrs. Chukwuemeka. This afternoon, she'd taken the dog with her to our mansion to pick up a few things. She should’ve been back by nowFizzy barked in the hallway, followed by the familiar footsteps of the kids' nanny.“Mrs. Chukwuemeka!!” the kids squealed and rushed up to her as she appeared in the doorway.Perfect timing.Mrs. Chukwuemeka laughed, hugging them. “I see I was missed today.”I let out a sigh. “Thank God you're back, Mrs. Chukwuemeka. Alec and I were just about to step out.”Her brows creased. “Is everything okay?”“Y-yes,” I replied, glancing at the children. “Ruth is not taking her calls, so we just want to make sure she's okay. We'll b

    —Alec—The executive hub of the Rivera headquarters loomed ahead.Once my convoy pulled up in the driveway, I stepped out and made my way to my private elevator.Ding!The elevator opened to my floor and I stepped out. My gaze fell on Janice seated behind her desk, typing into her computer.The moment she saw, she stopped and rose to her feet. “Good morning, Mr. Rivera.”I paused before her desk. “Any updates?”“Yes. We just received an email from the government. They're coming in for site inspection next week.”“What day precisely?”“On Thursday.”I nodded. “Is that all?”“Marcus called earlier. You were busy so he left a voicemail on your office line.”“Thank you, Janice,” I mumbled and headed to my office.Settling behind my desk, I powered my computer and was greeted by a series of emails including that from the government.I carefully went through them, then listened to Marcus's voicemail.‘Good morning, Alec. It’s Marcus. Just a quick update—the court has scheduled a preliminary

    —Mabel—The world seemed to tilt for a second.My mouth opened and closed but nothing came out.It was as if time had stopped... or maybe I was the one suspended in time as the words hit me over and over again.“I am pregnant?”Dr. Priya nodded. “That's what the test says. Congratulations.”With shaky fingers, I opened the envelope and saw it myself. The plus sign under the HCG column and the figures beside it.Tears of joy stung my eyes.I was truly pregnant.I looked up from the paper with teary eyes. “How? What happened to the IUD?”“That’s a good question, and one we’ll look into now if that's alright with you.”“I nodded. “Please, go ahead.”She typed into her computer, then stood up and walked to a bed near an ultrasound machine. “Please, come,” she beckoned.My heart pounded as I stood and lowered my bag to the chair.With a deep breath, I sauntered to her and lay down on the bed.“Your blouse, please,” she said.Oh, and I gently peeled back my blouse until my tummy was bared.
