The Billionaire's Hidden Triplets のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

—Mabel—The tall gates of Green Oak Mansion opened as we approached.We eased into the driveway to the sight of Ruth and Mrs. Chukwuemeka hurrying onto the terrace. They stood, hands tensed as the driver stepped out and opened our door.Alec climbed out first, offered me a hand and helped me out of the car.Ruth clasped her hands as though in silent prayers.“How was it?”I feigned ignorance, then broke into a grin. “We won!”They screamed and pulled me into the embrace.Tears stung my eyes as I hugged them back. It still felt like a miracle. I was finally free from Angelina's shadow.“Oh my God. Congratulations, Mabel,” Ruth rasped.Mrs. Chukwuemeka sighed. “I'm so glad Angelina got what she deserved. Now, if she attempts to reach either of you, she'll be taking a free tour behind bars.”A laugh passed between us. I exhaled and glanced at Alec beaming behind me.“When is Ruth's hearing?” Mrs. Chukwuemeka asked.Alec wrapped his arm around my waist. “Next week Friday. We'll be there t

—Mabel—I switched off the room lights and sauntered to the hallway.My heels clicked on the floor as I made my way, not to the bedroom, but to the terrace... I needed some time of solitude.Stepping on the terrace, I folded my arms and gazed at the night sky. The cool breeze wrapped around me as I reflected about my life.It dawned on me how far I'd come, heights I'd reached— too much to give up now.If anything, I needed to be stronger, to believe in myself because surrender had never been an option written in my story.It wouldn't now.I let out a relieved sigh.When I retired in the bedroom, Alec had dozed, his laptop still on his lap. He was trying to go through some files ahead of the Rivera Group's field inspection.I set down the computer on the nightstand and adjusted the pillows under his head, but then he stirred.“You're back.”A small smile curved my lips. “Yes, I am.”His brows furrowed as he saw my smudged mascara. “Are you okay?”“I'm fine,” I murmured and cupped his f

—Mabel— The moment I got home and opened up about my ordeal at the office to Alec, he swung into action. Within seconds, he had his attorney on the phone... requesting that the stalker be tracked. I didn't expect him to take the matter seriously. But he did. And relief coursed through me. Marcus's voice came from the other end. “Understood, Mr. Rivera. I'll hire a team to have that sorted now.” “Thank you, Marcus,” Alec seethed and ended call. He slipped his phone in his pocket and cupped my face. “I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I assure you, whoever it was, they'd pay dearly for it.” “Alec... I don't want you to stress about this.” He shook his head and caressed my chin. “No, baby. I have to keep you and everyone safe, that's priority.” A faint smile curled my lips. “I see you just got home. How was your day? And the kids?” For the first time since I got back, Alec beamed. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “My day went well. I missed you through

—Mabel— “Mr. Laurent is here,” Ruth blurted, and hurried down the stairs. I followed at a measured pace, my gaze flicking from Émilie to Mrs. Chukwuemeka in the foyer. “Thank you for coming, Émilie,” I said. “I won't miss it for the world.” He took my hand and kissed it, then moved to Ruth's. Footsteps echoed as Émilie's two assistants entered the foyer rolling a cloth rack, and behind them was the glam team. “I'll go prepare the kids.” Mrs. Chukwuemeka winked an eye at me, and left. I gestured. “This way to the dressing suite.” Hours passed in a blur as the glam team worked their magic, transforming Ruth and me with flawless makeup. Then Émilie Laurent drew the curtains, allowing us to slip into our clothes in private, but with the help of his two female assistants. His eyes lit up as we stepped out. “Magnifique. You two will be the talk of the evening,” he purred. Ruth giggled, and I drew a deep breath. We slipped on our shoes, and Émilie fastened a pair of diamond necklace

—Mabel—A hush fell on the balcony as our eyes drifted to Mama Emelda.Alec looped his arm around my waist, while Kyu-hun walked back to Ruth.“Mama...” Alec breathed.She blinked. “Yes. What's going on?”A knowing smile passed between the four of us.“Ruth and Mabel are pregnant,” Alec announced.Mama gasped. Twice. “My girls are pregnant?”I sniffled. “Yes, we are.”Mama pulled out her handkerchief and dabbed her eyes before throwing her arms open. “Come here.”My best friend and I went into her embrace and she held us as if we were the most precious things on earth.“Congratulations to you both,” she said as we parted.Ruth and I shared a grin. “Thanks Mama,” I mumbled.She turned to the men. “Now I understand why you were making those noises. We need to celebrate... during our private dinner.”The door behind opened, and the maître de of the hotel stepped onto the balcony.“Pardon the interruption,” he said, arching forward in a polite bow. “Dinner is now ready, if you would all c
