All Chapters of Runaway With Mr. CEO’s Triplets: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

SHAWNAI stared at my phone, my hands shaking so bad I almost dropped it. The call had ended, but the voice still echoed in my head. Admit what you did. Resign. Walk away, or your grandfather won’t make it. My chest tightened, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Who was doing this? And why?“Shawna?”I looked up and saw Damien standing in the doorway, his brows furrowed, concern etched all over his face. He took one look at me and rushed over.“What happened? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”I opened my mouth, but nothing came out at first. Then, somehow, I forced the words out. “I just got a call. Someone’s threatening me.”“What?” His eyes widened. “Threatening you how?”“They… they said if I don’t step down as CEO, admit to fraud, they’ll… they’ll kill my grandfather,” I whispered, my voice breaking.Damien’s jaw clenched. “What the hell? This people won’t stop, right? Who would do something like that?”“I don’t know!” I ran my hands through my hair, tugging slightly at the root

PHOEBEI kept staring at mom, waiting for more, waiting for her to say something that would make all of this make sense. But she didn’t. She just sat there with that forced smile on her face, like that was supposed to be enough.“It’s not just the stress, is it?” I asked quietly.“Phoebe, don’t…” she started, but I cut her off.“No, Mom. Don’t brush me off. You look like you haven’t slept in days. You’ve barely eaten, and you’re acting like… like you’re carrying the whole world on your shoulders. And now, with Grandpa getting worse, you’re falling apart, and I don’t know how to help you because you won’t let me in!” My voice cracked at the end, and I blinked back tears, frustrated that I couldn’t keep it together.Mom’s face softened, and for a second, I thought she might finally open up. But instead, she just sighed and reached out to take my hand.“I’m okay, Phoebe. Really. I just… I need some time to figure things out. And I need you to focus on yourself, okay? You’ve got so much a

PHOEBEI sat in the living room, feeling the weight of the day pressing down on me. After I left Mom, I met up with my brothers in the hallway. Their faces were tight with worry and frustration.“Phoebe, what’s going on?” Jasper asked, folding his arms.I shook my head. “Everything’s falling apart again. Every time we finally get happy, something bad happens.”Billy frowned, his face tight. “It’s like we’re cursed. Nothing goes right when things are good.”Jasper snorted. “Yeah, every time you smile, disaster follows.”I looked down, my voice trembling a little. “I don’t know why, but I think Ramon might be able to help. He’s different from those others.”Billy’s eyes shot open, anger flashing. “Ramon? You’re not supposed to be seen with him, Phoebe. He’s not welcome in our business.”Jasper’s tone turned cold. “We don’t want him involved. You should stay away from him.”I frowned. “Why can’t you see that he might actually be useful? He listens. He cares.”Billy shook his head sharply

PHOEBERamon stepped closer, his eyes never leaving mine. “Yeah. I’ve been thinking about us… about this.” He paused, rubbing the back of his neck like he wasn’t sure what to say. “I didn’t want to rush it, but I couldn’t wait anymore. You’re important to me, Phoebe. I wanted to do this right.”“The right way?” I whispered, my heart pounding so loudly I was sure he could hear it.Ramon nodded and reached for my hands. His touch was gentle, and his thumb brushed across my knuckles in a way that sent shivers up my spine. “Yeah, the right way,” he said softly. “So… Phoebe, will you be my girlfriend?”For a second, I could only stare at him, my brain struggling to process what he’d just said. Did he really ask me that? Was this actually happening?“Yes!” I blurted out, a huge smile spreading across my face. “Yes, Ramon, I’ll be your girlfriend!”His face lit up, and before I knew it, he had pulled me into his arms. He hugged me so tightly, that I could barely breathe, and I didn’t care. I

JASPER“Man, this guy’s up to something,” I muttered, peeking through the window. My eyes stayed glued to Ramon, who stood there with Phoebe, doing that whole lovey-dovey thing that made me want to gag. She was all smiles, and he… well, something about him just didn’t sit right.I watched as Phoebe giggled, then hugged him like he was the greatest thing since Wi-Fi. When she finally ran inside, I shook my head and let out a breath. I didn’t trust him. Not one bit.The second Phoebe disappeared through the door, I stepped out of the house, keeping my eyes locked on Ramon. Dude didn’t even flinch. He just stood there for a second, looking smug, like he knew something nobody else did.I clenched my fists, ready to march right up to him and demand he explain what his deal was. What was he doing hanging around here like he owned the place? Why was Phoebe acting like he was some kind of knight in shining armor? But then, he did something I didn’t expect. He didn’t linger, didn’t give me a s
