—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.

    —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—'Potomac Heights Hospital.Time: 11 am.'My heart pounded as I skimmed through Ruth's text message. For the life of me, I couldn't place where all the anxiety was coming from!I slid the phone in my bag and tried to enjoy the rest of the ride to the aforementioned hospital.Across the window, a pregnant woman paused by a fruit stand. She rubbed her stomach and whispered something to her partner that got him laughing.Then it hit me why this whole thing had me so anxious.A small part of me wished I was pregnant. This time... with Alec by my side.I wanted to experience it with him.Tears welled up in my eyes.I blinked them back and reminded myself of the IUD inside me. There was no need having false hopes.The convoy pulled into the hospital’s parking lot.I stepped out, made my way to the hospital's reception, and sighted Ruth.“Hello bestie,” I greeted.She looked up and her eyes lit up.“Mabel!” She sprang to her feet and pulled me into a hug.“You came,” she whispered.“O

    —Mabel— “Oh my God,” I gasped. “Ruth... You're pregnant!” She sniffled. “Yes, I'm still in shock myself.” I straightened from the counter. “Congratulations, bestie!” She chuckled, then drew a breath. “Thank you. I haven’t told Kyu-hun yet. Do you think he’ll be excited?” I recall the last time I saw them together... that was at the auction night. He'd treated her as if she was the most precious thing in the world. “Kyu-hun will be excited,” I murmured. There was a brief silence before Ruth spoke again. “I was thinking of going to the hospital and confirming the pregnancy with a blood test before telling him. What do you think?” “That's a great idea!” “Could you come with me, please?” she begged. My gaze drifted to my toothpaste. “Sure. When do you plan on going?” “This morning,” she replied. “I'll send you the details soon.” “Alright. I’ll clear my schedule.” She giggled. “Thank you, Mabel. You have no idea how much this means to me.” A smile flitted across my lips. “You

    —Mabel—“A yacht baby?” I laughed and swatted his chest. “What about a penthouse baby? A Green Oak mansion baby, huh?”Alec brought my hand to his lips and kissed it. “All of the above, love. Do you think we're getting any soon?”I smiled at his question. Then leaned forward and kissed his lips.We were still entangled in the sheets, naked, while the cool breeze wrapped around us.“Alec?” I called.“Yes, love.” He brushed hair strands from my face. I hesitated. “There's something I–I never told you. I opted for a hormonal IUD because I was overwhelmed after the triplets.”A beat passed. Something flashed in his eyes and I quickly recognized them— regret, pain.“I was scared. I didn’t think I could survive another pregnancy... alone.”Alec swallowed and nodded. “It's all my fault.”I kissed his cheek. “Don't be hard on yourself.”“If I hadn't treated you so badly, this wouldn't have happened.”He kissed my hand again. “I promise, I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you,” he
