Stefan pov.I woke up the next morning to dress up for work, throughout my dressing, Mabel was still sleeping and I decided to leave her be. She came home late crying and she must be tired, I was even happy that she didn't fall sick.I walked out of the room after dropping a letter for her on the bed, telling her that I will be coming home late because I will be meeting up my investigator after work."Good morning sir, your food is ready." Alana told me immediately I got to the sitting room."Hi there Alana. Mabel came late yesterday, she must be the one that will be needing your attention, though she is still sleeping right now but as for me, I will just grab breakfast with Owen and George." I told her and left the room.I instructed the guards that at least five of them must follow Mabel about if she wanted to go out, so that I wouldn't be that worried for her anymore, I would just call the guards to know if they are fine and at least, one will pick the call out of all of them.I go
Stefan pov.I stood still with the guys with my eyes almost bugging out, after the attendant's words"I don't understand a thing you are saying, make it clear to me." I told her and crouched to her level as she was still kneeing and weeping."I was doing my job even the lady on the screen called me and told me that she wanted to give me a deal that I should tell no one about it, so I wanted to decline but she gave me no space to and she gave me the drugs to put in the other lady's drink." She explained."Who is the other lady?" I asked her with my heart beating very fast that I feared that the attendant would hear it, but I don't care."She said that the other lady was the lady that was dancing with you." She said and I didn't know when I fell to my butt in shock. Mabel! The drink was for Mabel!I widened my eyes in realization, Mabel would have been the one in Sandra's position, she would have been raped, she would have lose her womb, she would have....no, no! I tried to shook the wo
Mabel pov.I was in the sitting room, waiting patiently for Stefan, though I saw his letter in the morning where he told me that he would be visiting the investigator and that he would arrive home late, but I was curious, I wanted to hear how his meeting with the investigator went before I can sleep peaceably with the full mind that the culprit would be found and I can proof my friends wrong for not trusting me.I began to doze off on the single sitter, but woke up immediately when I heard the opening of the door, I knew it would be Stefan because I wasn't expecting anyone and moreover, it was night already."Hey." I greeted and ran to him."You suppose to be sleeping Mabel." He said, tucking his hands into his hair. He doesn't seemed okay to me, he seemed stressed out and tired."Go and shower, I will prepare your dinner, I'm sure that you are hungry." I muttered to him."Mabel.....""Just go, we can talk tomorrow, trust me, you will rest after dinner." I said, cutting him off.I did
Stefan pov.I left the shooting scene in the evening after work and headed to where I parked my car, I wasn't surprised when I met Owen and George in the garage, just beside my car. I have been ignoring their calls since morning and that was simply because I didn't wanted to talk to them."Hey bro." George pulled out hand for shaking but I ignored it. "Now, that's not fair. I was busy thinking that you didn't saw our calls and has been too busy to return it, but seriously, you're ignoring us intentionally?" He pulled down his hand and frowned."I'm just not ready for your words, I'm not in the mood for any of it." I opened the car to enter but Owen shut it back."You are seriously not leaving this place unless we resolve everything amicably among us." He said."Look, we are not fighting okay? I just need some times to think." I told them."I think we have given you some times already and it's enough." George said and I sighed, I folded my hands on each other."What do you both want fr
Stefan pov.I walked out of the room after my moment with Mabel and headed for the sitting room to meet my friends, I met them sitting on a double couch.Even though I was still not pleased with the presence of Mabel's friends here, I still kept my cool because of my friends."What of Mabel?" That was the first thing they asked me.I immediately understand that they had planned to ask for Mabel's forgiveness on behalf of the betrayals, but I won't let that happen. If Mabel was to be here, I'm sure that she would have forgiven them in no time, she was too softhearted but thank God, she has someone like me, who is strong headed. I didn't even know what annoyed me most, is it for the fact that they betrayed Mabel or for the fact that the one they were siding it the real culprit that wanted to destroy my life and that of Mabel? "She visited her parents and I'm sure she's tired right now, she is taking a nap." I told them and relaxed on a single seater."But the ladies are here for her,
Natasha pov.I know that I messed up, like I don't even know what I was thinking when I was busy accusing Mabel and did not suspect Sandra. We all know that Sandra was evil but Mabel? Why did I even believed Sandra? Maybe because she was in pain and I thought that she can't possibly inflict sure pain on herself.And now, I'm losing my friendship of years, just because of a mistake I'm ready to do everything in my power to amend, but I realized that everything was broken beyond repair and I lost Mabel, though I wasn't hopeless just yet.I wouldn't even have fallen victim of the broken friendship if I have listened to my heart then, my heart kept on telling me that Mabel can hurt a fly, talkless of hurting an human but I was blinded with....... I don't even know what and now, it cost me my friend."Hey, it's okay, everything will be fine I'm sure of it and you three will be that inseparable friends we all knew." Owen said as he pulled me in an embrace and began to part my back in the ac
Stefan pov.I stared at Owen with a mockery look on my face, as he kept on grumbling till he was out of sight and Natasha quickly ran after him. I finally busted into laugher, laughing harder that I almost choked on my food, they were just funny, too funny and I can't help but laugh."Now, that's okay or you can choke for real this time." Mabel scolded and I decided to stop laughing until I remembered Owen's face again and busted into another round of laughter.I know their schedules because they both had told me to remind them about the meetings, the both meetings were very important and since I'm the only one that's serious with my life, they begged me to remind them. I wouldn't have remembered too if it's not because of the outing they talked about and I really didn't want to go to any outing with the girls, I still didn't trust them."It's not really funny Stefan, they are your friends and you are making jest of them, I will also laugh at you if they decide to pay you back." "So,
Mabel pov.I should up with Stefan and held his hand tightly as he took me around the garden. The garden had a varieties of flowers in it, like the tulips that were in line by line, sunflowers by it side, hydrangea too, there was lavender, peony, daisy, orchid, red rose and more, every kind of flowers were there, just name it!I was beaming with smile all along as we walked by the flowers. Stefan picked a rose for me."From my heart to you." He said and I laughed, that was the best gift I have ever been offered and it made it more amazing, seeing that it came from him."Do you know what this means Stefan?" I asked him with a raised brow and refused to collect the rose from him."Of course I do. I won't be here, doing all these if I don't know the meaning." He told me with a smile."Oh! Okay then, I'm collecting it because it is a rose, don't think otherwise." I collected the rose from him and sniffed it to perceive the pleasant intoxicating scent. "Now, this is satisfying.""I know yo
Stefan pov."Well, it doesn't matter now, does it? Since we all are here and I'm sorry to say this but your bad man is owing me a punch on his face, for all the stress I went through when searching for Mabel and when searching for him." George said and I chuckled."There is nothing to be sorry for." I assured him then turned to my mom, "Why will you bring her here? She is too young to watch her father being punished." I told mom, referring to Crystal."No one will stay with her and I don't know when we will leave here, so I can't allow her to go to school.""Don't blame mom okay? I personally want to be here and as from that day, he stopped being my father, that day he killed Michael, who was my favorite person, he will always be dear to me and I will never forget him. You are my father now, mom is my mom, Mabel is my second mummy, your friends are my uncles, Mabel's friends are my aunts, Ralph is my friend, and Mabel is keeping my sister in her stomach. Do you see that Stefan? I'm so
The beginning of the end of the bad man.Stefan pov.The rain of the bullets stopped after minutes of staying in the car and holding my wife tightly as I protected her. "I think that it's over." Mabel said and raised herself up from my arms, she looked around, just checking out what was going on outside, while I had my eyes on her as I made sure that she was okay and that there was no scratch on her skin and I saw that she was perfectly okay."I think we can get down from the car now, everything seems settled now and there don't seem to be dangers lingering around anymore. What do you think baby?" She said with her eyes still fixing on the window.I didn't gave an answer to what she said, I looked out of the window to make a clear confirmation by myself and to see if any of my guards would be around to answer my questions.The outside was all way smokey like a situation were teargas was made use of and of course, that was the case, the police were the ones that threw in the teargas, j
Stefan pov.Mom's words rang in my head. He is not my father? If he's not, then who is? I thought."Sit down Stefan, allow me to tell you everything that happened from the beginning." She told me but I had no reason to sit down, I was shock and everything I wanted was answers, not to sit down."Start talking immediately mom, I'm not here to sit down." I told her, showing her my complete seriousness.She sighed then began. "Noah is the name of your father. He was a friend to Jack, but was way more responsible and handsome than Jack." She smiled at something in her head, I was sure she was remembering something about 'my real dad'. "Jack truthfully met me first and he claimed to love me at first, but I turned him down and later met Noah, he was so nice and handsome and it was love at first sight for the both of us, we began seeing ourselves from that time onwards and that was when everything started. Jack became jealous and always threatened me that if I don't let go of Noah and come to
Stefan pov.I woke up on a bed and stared at my surroundings, trying to get where I was and strangely, I realized that it was Owen's room. How is it possible for me to know here? I thought and jolted from the bed as I remembered that I was attacked a....an.....and I remembered I traveled to New York City, how I met Mabel again at NYC, begged her to come back home and the accident! I remembered everything, in fact! I could remember the day I was born if that's possible.I got out of bed and that was when the guys entered. "Oh man! Thank God you're safe, because we don't know what to tell Mabel again." They both said immediately they saw me on my feet, they even came closer to be and hugged me tightly."How did I got here?" I questioned them both."We were going back home when we saw the incident and we brought you here, as we don't want to get Mabel worried about you again." Owen said."And before you start getting worried about her being alone, well, she isn't, the girls are with her
Stefan pov.We were about to step into the car when we were interrupted by Alana. "Ma'am!" She called, as she ran forward to stop us.She was holding a dish in her hand, "I got you some fruits here, you should eat since you know, you might be hungry." She told Mabel and winked at her.I chuckled when I understood what she was driving at. I turned to Mabel and she was filled with blush, I bet she was damn embarrassed by then as she glared at the poor maid. "I promise I don't see anything." She replied but Mabel didn't seems satisfied."You know what, just bring it and leave, or you will just see the ground opening and swallowing you up because of her glare at you." I told Alana and took the dish from her. She took to her heels immediately like her pants was on fire."Come on Sunshine, glaring doesn't suit you." I told Mabel and helped her into the car.We settled in and I told the driver to drive us to the very nice hospital in the area and getting zoomed out of the compound with some
Mabel pov."Stefan!" I moaned loudly as we both came together for the fifth time that day and he collapsed by my side, breathing heavily like I was.I laid there in my position, remembering everything allover again in my head and I blushed, the love making with him at that time was simply the best, it can never be compared with any of the ones we made previously and I wished it never ends.Even with all the excitement in my mind, a little sense of worry still managed to creep into my mind, "What would Stefan think of me now?" I was worried, because I knew I literally seduced him when he was trying to hold himself back.I stylishly turned to him on the bed, I saw that his eyes were just glued to the ceiling, obviously lost in thought like I was, I knew he was thinking about the sex or probably thinking of how to treat my fuck up. I couldn't hold it in anymore, I have to know what he was thinking and how he sees me now."Stefan........" I called him, turning fully to his side and surpri
Stefan pov.I woke up the next morning and found Mabel's side of the bed empty, I became a little bit worried. I got down from the bed and left for the bathroom, but she was not there, I used that medium to wash my face and brush my teeth.When I was done with brushing, I left the room for the sitting room and again, my eyes were allover the frames in the hallway, down to the stairs and to the sitting room.The sitting room was empty when I got there, she was nowhere in sight, but then, I began to hear some voices at a side in the mansion and I moved there. I met Mabel with the maid that helped me in cooking. 'What is her name again?' I questioned my myself, then I remembered, her name is Alana, yes definitely! That's her name. She was conversing with Mabel as Mabel eat. They were at the dinning room.I moved closer to them and they were still busy to the extend that they didn't notice my present and if they were lying or if they were pretending, they could easily be detected. I sat d
Mabel pov.His hand on my stomach made me felt different like I've never felt before, it was lovely and I wished he would keep on touching it every time.He pulled me more closer to himself with my waist and placed a lingering kiss on every angle of my stomach, he then cupped it and placed his ear on it listening, like the baby was whispering to him and for that act, I could feel him bonding well with the baby.His ear was still tightly fixed on my stomach when he left out a chuckle, then raised his head to stared at me, "He is mad at me, he told me that by himself, so don't bother to argue with me." He told me between his chuckling and l nodded at him, not having any intention of doing anything than to enjoy his hold on me and his sweet kisses. I smiled widely as I saw how happy he looked, he have never for once been that happy, not even when our marriage was full of roses.He returned his ear back to my stomach and I enjoyed it again as his breath was all over me, but as the devil w
Stefan pov.I stared at Mabel as she nervously sat down there with her hands allover the hem of her dress. Like, I don't understand what she meant, the baby want to perceive my cologne in her food, after she wanted almost raw chicken? Really?I just sighed and replied her, "It's fine, I will cook it for you, but next time, just say that, that is what you want, don't make a lie on the innocent child." I told her, though the last part was purely a joke and it seems she knew because the type of smile that appeared on her lips after my words was out of this world, it was very pure and beautiful, that I almost lost my breath and I felt proud of myself that I caused that smile.The woman was just so beautiful and her smile? Damn! It turned me on real bad and I had no other doubt that we were in something so serious before my accident, though I didn't feel that way towards her anymore, but I still want her to keep giving me that smile."Thank you so much." She happily said and I nodded befor
