MABEL'S POVMy phone rang, I saw the number on the screen and my stomach dropped. It was Stefan's mother. I knew she was going to ask me to do something I didn't want to do. I considered not answering, but I knew that would only make things worse. So I picked up the phone and said, "Hello?" "Mabel, dear, it's Stefan's mother. I have a proposition for you, I need you to do something for me," she continued. "I need you to come over to our house and spend the night with Stefan. I know it's a big ask, but it's important to me." I felt my heart sink. "Why?" I asked, my voice small. "I need to make sure that he will abide by my orders, I need him to know that he's not going to do anything stupid. And I think that you might be the one to make that happen by doing what i ask of you." I didn't know what to say. "I don't know if I can do that," I replied back to her." Remember your family bankruptcy!" she blurted out.I knew that my parents were struggling financially. And I knew that they
MABEL'S POV"Mabel, your father has had a heart attack," my mother said, her voice shaking. "He's in the hospital, and they say he's in critical condition." My heart stopped. I felt like the world was spinning around me. My mind was racing. I couldn't believe what i was hearing. My father had always been so healthy, so strong. How could this be happening? I could barely think straight, but I knew I had to act quickly. I ran to my car and started the engine, my hands shaking. I tried to focus on the road as I drove to the hospital, but my thoughts were consumed with worry for my father. What if he didn't make it?When I arrived at the hospital, I rushed to the reception desk. I told the receptionist my father's name, and the receptionist directed me to the cardiac unit. My heart kept on pounding as I made my way down the long hallway. I felt like I was in a nightmare, like this couldn't be real. Finally, I reached the cardiac unit. I went to the nurses' station and asked for my fath
STEFAN'S POV"Mabel have agreed to the marriage, and so will you!" Mom yelled at me over the other end of the phone. I hated everything about Mabel. Her arrogance, her entitled attitude, the way she always acted like she was better than everyone else. And now, I was supposed to marry her? I couldn't do it. I just couldn't.I tried to collect my thoughts, to figure out what to say. I couldn't believe my mother would be so heartless to agree to this. She knew how I felt about Mabel. We had argued about her over the weeks, I never agreed to get married to her. I couldn't understand why she would do this to me. "Mom, you can't be serious," I said, my voice shaking. "You know how I feel about Mabel. There's no way I can marry her." There was a long pause on the other end of the line. I could almost hear my mother's brain whirring, trying to figure out what to say."I know you two have had your differences," my mother finally said, "but I truly believe that this is for the best. You're b
STEFAN'S POVMum sat down with me and Mabel to discuss the details of the wedding. She suggested a date that was only a few weeks away. My heart sank. I had hoped for more time to prepare, but I knew that I had to make the best of the situation. "What about the venue?" Mabel asked. "Where will we have the wedding?" My mother suggested a local church, but Mabel shook her head. "I'm not religious," she said. "I'd prefer something more secular."As I sat across from my mother and Mabel, discussing the details of our upcoming wedding, I felt a knot of anxiety in my stomach. I didn't want to get married, especially not to Mabel. But I knew I had no choice. My mother was insistent, and I didn't have the strength to fight her. So I sat there, listening to the plans being made, feeling like a prisoner. I wondered if I would ever be able to break free."What about the dress?" Mabel asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. My mother suggested a traditional white gown, but Mabel shook her he
MABEL'S POVI got out of bed, the morning light streaming through the window. I looked at myself in the mirror, trying to imagine what my life would be like as a married woman. I felt a surge of panic, and I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down. I knew I couldn't let my anxiety get the best of me, not on this day of all days. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes again. I had a lot of work to do before the ceremony, and I couldn't afford to waste any time.I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the hot water wash over me. As I stood there, I tried to clear my mind, focusing on the feeling of the water on my skin. I tried to imagine myself as a bride, walking down the aisle towards my future. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was suffocating. I turned off the shower, the panic rising in my chest. I had to get it together, I had to be strong. But I felt like I was on the verge of losing control. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to c
STEFAN'S POVI and Mabel sat in silence as my mother told us about our honeymoon plans. We had both known that this day was coming, but we had been dreading it. Now, we were forced to sit through a presentation of all the weird activities that awaited us on our trip, and it was making us both feel sick. We tried to hide their reactions, but it was clear that we were both miserable. I sat there, trying to keep my face neutral, but I could feel the anger rising in my chest. I didn't want to go on a honeymoon with Mabel, I didn't even want to be married to her. But I had made a commitment, and I had to see it through. I just hoped that I could get through the next few weeks without losing my mind.As my mother droned on about the different activities we would be doing, I felt like I was suffocating. I just wanted to get out of there.Finally, the presentation was over. My mother smiled at us, oblivious to the tension in the room. "Well, what do you think?" she asked, looking at us expec
STEFAN'S POVAs I began my day, I was surprised by the reaction I received from my fans. They seemed thrilled that I was married, and they wanted to hear all about it. I was more than annoyed to oblige, telling them how I had met my wife and how we had fallen in love, they forced me to say. I even mentioned how we had a bit of a rough patch, but we were working through it. I knew I was playing with fire, but I couldn't help myself. I was caught up in the moment, and I felt invincible.But as the day wore on, I started to feel a sense of unease. I tried to ignore the feeling, but it wouldn't go away. As I did my photo shoots, I felt like I was being watched. I kept glancing around, but I didn't see anyone out of the ordinary. Still, the feeling persisted. I started to feel like I was being followed, and I couldn't shake the sense of foreboding. I finished up my last photo shoot, I finally saw who had been watching me. It was Mabel. She stood in the corner of the room, her arms cross
MABEL'S POVl had just come back to the hotel from my spa section appointment, when I got a phone call from the hospital. I had a sinking feeling as I answered the call, and my fears were confirmed when I heard the news. Stefan had been in a car accident, and he was in the hospital. l felt her heart drop, I she felt numb with shock. I couldn't believe that this was happening, and I didn't know what to do. I felt a mix of emotions - confusion, worry, and guilt. I knew that I needed to go to the hospital, but I didn't know what to expect.I was walking down the hospital corridor, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn't believe that I was going to see Stefan in a hospital, I wasn't sure what I was going to say to him, or how he would react to seeing me. I stopped in front of his hospital room, and I took a deep breath. I was about to open the door when I heard yelling from inside. Stefan was yelling at someone, his voice filled with anger and pain. I couldn't hear his conversation we
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
