The Ex-wife He Regrets Losing! 87!Worst Possible Scenarios!
MABEL“What are you doing here?” I asked as he got closer to me. “Is everything okay with Angie? Did she get home safe?”“Everything is fine, Mabel,” he said, taking my hands. “And yes, Angie got home safe.”“Oh thank goodness,” I exhaled the breath I inhaled when he walked into my office. “When I saw you I thought something had happened,” I said, walking towards the mini bar.“Care for a drink?” I asked when I noticed he was following me.“Yeah, bourbon but with ice,” he said and I nodded. “Why do you have to think about the worst all the time, Mabel?”“It has kept me safe ever since I left Ethan,” I said, handing him his drink. “Thinking the worst possible thing has helped me navigate society.”“That's why you won't be in a real relationship with me,” he said and I tilted my head. “You are thinking of the worst possible thing that can happen with me.”“Are there?” I asked.“Are there what?” He asked back.“Any worst possible thing that can happen with you,” I picked up my vodka wit

MABELMy heart thumped hard. “Good afternoon,” I said quietly. “I… wasn’t expecting you.”She nodded once. “Of course not.”She walked farther in, her heels barely making a sound. She touched the edge of my desk, almost testing it, then looked back at me.“This place suits you,” she said.Rose nudged me from behind, trying to remind me to speak.“Thank you,” I said. “Can I ask why you are here?”Janelle gave a small smile. “A woman like me doesn’t travel from Paris to New York City without a reason.”“Of course,” I chuckled, nervously.“Yeah…and I have been looking forward to meeting you.”My stomach tightened.“I saw your work at the Laybel Hotel,” she said. “And the shoot you styled for Amara Duke last month.”My eyes widened. That shoot wasn’t even released yet.“It leaked,” she explained. “My team has been talking about it all morning.”Rose made another small squeal.Janelle clasped her hands behind her and looked at me with sharp focus. “Your style is clean. Soft. Confident. You

MABELThe drive from the safe house to my styling studio was filled with silence. Not because my driver and I didn’t like talking, we just had nothing to say. He focused on the road, and I tried to focus on breathing.When the car stopped, I looked up at my building. My studio. My dream.It stood tall and clean with soft beige walls, wide glass windows, and gold letters that spelled Mabel Styling Company. Finished. Perfect. It still shocked me sometimes that I built this from nothing.The doors opened automatically as I walked in. Warm lights washed over me, and a soft scent, vanilla and white musk, drifted through the air. Not too much. Just enough to feel calm.“Good afternoon, ma’am!” the first staff at reception said quickly, standing up.Her name was Tina. Bright eyes. Always smiling.The others followed, two stylists carrying fabric books, the front desk team, even the security guard by the inner door.“Welcome, ma’am.”“Good afternoon, ma’am.”Their voices came one after anothe

Different From….DAMIEN I watched as Mabel's car pulled away from the curbs of the safe house. I walked in, trying to put away her questioning at the back of my mind.“Looks like the Cops are here to take you home, Angie,” I said as I walked in, spotting a Police cruiser at the side of the road.“That's my cue then,” she said, placing her huge bag on her shoulder.“You did nice work today,” I said to her and she nodded.“Yeah, I did but so did you,” she said and my eyebrows furrowed. “You are Damien Croft,” she chuckled. “A billionaire and one of the country's most sought after bachelors.”“And what does that have to do with any of these?” I asked her.“That's my point exactly,” she folded her arms. “You should be out there, buying cities, companies and making memories with women all over the world. But instead….”“I'm helping save your ass from your old boss and supposed friend,” I said, strongly.“You have an ulterior motive. I'm sure of it,” she said and I scoffed.“Why don't you

MABELI wasn't just having an immense feeling of dread inside of me. I could feel it on my chest. In my palm and the back of my feet.There have been no reports from any of the field agents around Angie for the past five minutes. No one knows where she is.“Has she been located?” I asked, Damien looked at shaking his head. But he wasn't panicking.“Tell me why you are not panicking so I won't panic,” I said to him. He sighed and walked towards me.“That's because Angie is fine. There is no way Hailey took her away without the Sterling Security field Agents knowing about it.”“Oh,”I exhaled. “They are the ones who removed her camera?”“Yes. But they should have told us about that or at least told you,” he said and I smiled a little.“How do you know all of these? And how are you able to stay calm under such pressure and high stakes?”“Well,” he clicked his teeth. “Remember when I told you I was in the Marines?” He asked and I nodded.“I was actually in a division known as Marine Intell
The Ex-wife He Regrets Losing! 82!The Line Went Dead!
MABELThe clock on the wall felt louder than usual. Every tick echoed in my head like it was mocking me, reminding me of every bad decision that led us here.We were at Sterling Security’s safe house, a quiet, dim room filled with monitors and radio devices, the smell of strong coffee hanging in the air. Angie’s voice came through one of them, soft but steady, like she was trying to convince herself she wasn’t terrified.Damien stood near the window, his arms crossed, watching the street below. His reflection in the glass looked colder than the man I’ve come to know lately, the man who smiles when I tease him, who makes coffee for me when I forget to eat.“She’s in,” one of the tech guys said, his tone flat but firm. “Angie just entered the restaurant.”I swallowed hard. “Is she alone?”“Yes. Hailey isn’t there yet.”I nodded, pretending to be calm, but my hands wouldn’t stop shaking. I tucked them under my thighs, hoping Damien wouldn’t notice.He turned to me. “You okay?”I gave a w
