—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—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

—Mabel—The flight to New York was one hour.The speakers crackled to life and Alec's voice came through them.“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We are now approaching Teterboro Airport. We expect to land shortly. Please, ensure you're seated and belts fastened. Thank you for choosing Rivera Air.”Through the oval window, the sky gradually gave way to a dense cluster of skyscrapers. Sunlight bounced off the Empire State Building and shimmered over the Hudson River.Nathaniel gasped. “Is that—”“Yes, the Statue of Liberty,” Mrs. Chukwuemeka answered with a chuckle.Teterboro Airport came into view ahead. With a soft jolt, the jet’s landing gear touched down on the tarmac. We taxied past rows of private jets before coming to a stop near a discreet glass terminal.While one hostess opened the door, another approached with a smile.“The Captain has asked me to bring the children.”“Yay!” the kids cheered and dashed past her to the cockpit.There was something heart-war
