—Mabel—

The tears wouldn't stop rolling down my face. The more I wiped them, the more they came gushing.

An ache pushed my heart, but it was nothing compared to the lump forming in my throat.

“Hello, Mabel. Can you hear me?” came Ruth's voice through the phone.

I'd forgotten the call was still on.

Sniffling, I straightened up on the chair. “Y-yes, Ruth. I can hear you.”

“I'm so sorry you're going through this,” she whispered, her voice laced with sorrow.

“I was going to tell him, Ruth, this weekend during the picnic. I-I even announced to the children this morning and they were excited. And now this?”

I couldn't help it—I sobbed again.

“Listen to me, Mabel,” Ruth beckoned softly. “The damage has already been done. What we need to do is damage control.”

“Yes, you're right. I need to find him, wherever he is.”

“Hold on. Let me find out from Kyu-hun his location then I'll get back to you.”

Ruth placed the call on hold, and I took the moment to read one of the articles by Miranda Bellamy.

  • The Billionaire's Hidden Triplets   CHAPTER 66

    —Mabel—My heart pounded at each kilometer I covered for reasons I couldn't place.Though I knew it was wrong, I pulled out my phone and dialed his number again. And yet again, he didn't pick up.C'mon, Alec. I said I'm sorry... just want to talk. I fought back the tears and lowered my phone in the cupholder, then gripped the wheel tighter.At long last, the Green Oak mansion appeared ahead.I stepped on the brakes as I approached the gates, then honked.The intercom at the gate beeped. “Please, wind down and show your face.”Quickly, I did as told. “It's me, Mabel Parker.” I even turned on the (inner car) lights.Silence followed, then the gates creaked open.I offered a grateful smile to the camera and drove into the estate's driveway. Alec's butler stood on the terrace, hands tucked behind his back.I killed the engine and unbuckled my seatbelt. Then I slipped my phone in my pocket and stepped out of the car.“Good evening, madam,” Alec's butler greeted me as I joined him on the t

    —Mabel—All of a sudden, I couldn't hold his gaze. I lowered my gaze to the floor, but Alec didn't relent.He placed a finger under my chin, and lifted my face until my gaze met his. His cologne wrapped around me, a quiet reminder of the times we were lost in the sheets.“Is it Tom?” he asked again.“Yes,” I nodded.He dropped his hand, and with it, a part of me crumbled.“You've been seeing behind my back?”I gasped. “No, it's not like that. He came to my office.”“Why do I have a feeling this isn't the first time he's visited you?“Alec.” I tried to touch him, but he stepped back.“I would prefer you speak with your mouth.”My heart shattered. I blinked back tears.“Actually, it's not the first time he's visited my office," I confessed. “But I assure you, nothing happened during any of those three visits.”Alec gasped. “What? He has visited you thrice, and I'm just knowing now?”“The first time Tom came to my office, you and I hadn't started going out. He came telling me about how y

    —Alec—She didn't pick up.Curiosity surged through me as I stared at my phone.Was it work, or was there another reason she wasn’t answering?I tried again and this time, she picked up.*. *. *. *. *. *—Mabel—“Hello?” I answered.“Is everything okay, my love? You had me worried.”I stood and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of my office. “We need to see.”He chuckled. “Exactly what I was thinking. How about dinner at your place?”To my surprise, a faint smile tugged at my lips.“Alright. What time?”“You choose,” he murmured. I could tell he was smiling.The photos from Tom's phone flashed in my mind and a wave of melancholy swept through me. “How about seven o'clock?”“Seven sounds perfect.”I swallowed. “Alright, then. Don't be late.”“I won't. I promise,” he said sweetly. “I'll be counting the minutes.”I drew a breath and ended the call, then walked back to my desk.I sat down and clicked on the intercom. It was about time I fixed this once and for all.“Mara, I need you i

    —Mabel—A storm of frustration cracked through me.Tom Marlow.What did he want?Why was he visiting me in every other business day and not once have we talked about business?!A shiver crawled over my skin as I recalled his last visit and how he'd gotten irrationally close.I drew a breath and turned to Mara with a reticent smile.“Thank you. I will see you later in my office.”“Yes, ma,” she nodded.I turned to my heels and strode to my office. The automated doors slid open and shut behind me.And there he was sitting with legs crossed, in front of my desk.“Good morning, Mr. Marlow.”He looked up and a smile which I can't describe flitted across his lips. He rose without a sound and smoothened the jacket of his tux.“Good morning, Ms. Parker.”He looked me up and down. “I must say, you look exceptionally beautiful this morning,” he added.I forced a smile for courtsey sake and rounded my desk. “Thank you, Mr. Marlow. You're looking well yourself.”He smiled and lifted his chin with

    —Mabel—A moan slipped from my lips as he nuzzled my neck, then trailed hot kisses across my collarbone.“Alec!” I gasped.He pulled back and searched my eyes. “Say it, that you're sorry, and will never say that again.”My lips curved into a smirk. Where's the fun in that?Teasing him all through the day, only to quickly apologize. Not when he was looking dangerously handsome as he asked.“No,” I mumbled. “I'm not sorry.”His breath hitched mid-inhale. “You... what?”“I said, I'm not sorry,” I said, and tried to kiss him, but he leaned back.“You're desperately begging to be punished...no fear.”I giggled. “Then stop talking and start punishing, sir. I want to see how far you'll go.”Alec blinked.His grip around my wrist slacked for a second, then tightened again.“Remember you asked for this.”“Still talking?”With his free hand, he gripped my jaw, and planted hot kisses from my temple, down to my cheeks.Just when I was sure he was going to kiss me, he skipped my lips and trailed h

    —Mabel—The children's laughter reached our ears.I pulled away and sat back on the chair just as the cinema door slid open, and they rushed in.“Good morning, Daddy! Good morning, Mommy!” they chorused.“How did you find us?” I asked, as I adjusted to the far end of the couch.“The butler directed us,” Eloise blurted.They paused midway as they saw the big screen... then they resumed running and joined us on the couch. “Does it really work?” Nathaniel asked pointed at the big screen, his voice, a mix of curiosity and wonder.Alec chuckled. “Of course, it works. Let me show you.”He picked up the remote control.The kids gasped as the big screen flickered to life, their eyes glued to the colors.“It's really working,” Eloise squealed and clapped.“Whoa!” Damian's mouth fell open. “It's really huge.”Nathaniel turned to their father. “Can we watch Toaster Ninjas? Please, daddy!”Alec smiled. “What's that?”“It's a cool animation where kitchen appliances turn into ninjas at night and b
