Stefan pov.I woke up the next morning, I realized that, that was the worst night of my life, it wouldn't have been so bad if I had slept with Mabel in my arms but she was distancing herself from me, I didn't know why, but I wasn't in anyway angry or mad at her, and the first thing I did was to check up on Mabel in the room and strangely, the room was empty, so I thought she was bathing."Babe." I called and knocked on the bathroom door before opening it. I searched the bathroom and again, it was empty and I because worried, so worried, but I soon realized that I haven't checked anywhere yet.I walked out of the room and to the sitting room and I met the guys in the sitting room, operating their phones, they slept over, "Good morning guys." I greeted them as I looked around.They both raised up their heads to stare at me with a little smile on their faces. "Good morning man." They chorused."How are you?" Owen required."How was your night?" George questioned."I'm not good and my nig
Stefan pov.I cried so much on my knees, trying to think of what to do and the only thing that was coming to my head was to kill myself, I couldn't live without her."Hey Stefan, you have to pull yourself together." Owen said and I felt him getting on his knees beside me with George."I can't leave without her, I badly want to die right now, if I die, I'm sure Mabel will have the type of peace she desires and no one will be a victim of death anymore, who knows, you can be the next to die, all because of me." I told them with my heart bleeding."And so what will happen next, after you die? I will have to feel the pain of losing someone dear to me all over again right?" A voice interrupted my conversation with the guys and I didn't even bothered to check out who it was, as I knew who already. Crystal.She came to my front and forcefully removed my hands from my face, giving my tears a clear space to pour out again, I sniffed and threw my face away from her but she pulled it back, forcin
Stefan pov.Following the location on the tracking device, we got to a train station just as Natasha presumed, we used a disguise mask before leaving the car to trek the remaining distance to where the car was and it was just beside the counter where the tickets were being sold and I turned to Natasha."Seems you are wrong after all." I pointed out to her.Basically, mere looking at the situation we met in the station, it was obvious that Mabel must have boarded the train, though it must have been a long time but still, she used a train."We can't assume anything at this rate, let's check the car, there might be something interesting in there that will lead us to her location, seeing a train here doesn't mean that we've know her location." Owen said and we all nodded to him, agreeing to his words.George moved to the car and opened it, I was a little bit surprised that it opened, I was expecting it to be locked. He entered the car and searched around for minutes before gently pulling
Stefan pov.We went to the counter and met up the attendance, "Hi." I began, trying to initiate a conversation."Hi all, which city will you like to go to? The train will be here in a minute or two." She said, she was typing away on her laptop, she didn't even spared us a glance and well, she wouldn't have known us even if she stared at us because of our masks."We just need your help, um... well that's if you don't mind." Owen said huskily, switching to his playboy tone, he even removed his mask as he leaned more to the lady, who had already stopped typing.The lady slowly raised her head like a fairy tale princess and I became irritated and disgusted immediately, and her shout had to broke all my self control. "Oh my gush! It's Owen! One of Stefan's best friends!" She shouted, gasping with her hands on her chest.I hit my hands on her deck in irritation, "I want to see your manager immediately!" I told her and instead of replying me, she had her mouth slightly opened with her hands
Stefan pov.When we got to Hannah's office, my guards stood outside while we entered and settled on the couch in the office. The office was just like her, very wide and there were only but a few things in it, which made it so shanty."How can I be of help? I know that the five of you are not just here to buy tickets to anywhere, you will prefer a plane and not even a public one but one private plane. I know what I'm saying, you seem wealthy." She said.I frowned and removed my mask, throwing it in her trashcan as I had no intention of using it again that day. "I want to make something crystal clear here, what we will be discussing with you here must not mistakenly get out of that door," I pointed at the door then continued, "If this get to the press or we hear it outside, you will be shocked with the price you will have to pay." I told her with a chilly cold face.She didn't fret when she saw my face but it was obvious that she knew me. "My lips are sealed." She replied then stood up
Mabel pov.It had been a week since I I left the mansion and I have been doing perfectly fine, even as it was so hard for me to cope with everything happening here as it was way too different from all my experiences at home and for the fact that I have never been alone all my life, made it more harder and I can't deny the fact that I missed Stefan a lot, but I was glad that I left him, at least, it was for the best.For the whole week, I had been staying in a tidy, functional space of an hotel room, with crisp white sheets and a well-stocked minibar. The room had a flat-screen TV, a desk and chair, and a plush bathrobe hanging in the closet. The bathroom had a marble countertop, a walk-in shower, and fluffy towels. The room was scented with a light, clean fragrance, even as the room feels comfortable, I still can't call it a home and now, I was getting ready to go to my new house, the one I bought with my savings and I was in New York City.I got into the en suite and took a quick bat
Stefan pov.Months later........Searching for Mabel had been fruitless for the past months, it was just like she disappeared from the face of the earth as she hid herself so well that even after inviting the investigators over, there was still no clue of her whereabouts, we always move from mystery to more mysteries as we searched for her, she really perfected her running and I didn't know any other place to search again.After the seen at the train station, we got to know through the CCTV footage that my wife never entered the train, which meant that Natasha was right after all. Mabel just bought the ticket, dropped the car and her phone and just walked away. Infact, she waited patiently for the train to arrive and when it does, she sat down there and watched til it went away and that was when she stood up and left too. How ridiculous!The sound of my phone snapped me out of my reverie. I sighed when I saw Ralph was the caller. "Tell me Ralph." I said to the phone immediately I pick
Stefan pov."Jesus! Owen!" I shouted as I jerked up from his sofa, with my hands clenching tightly to my face. "My handsome face!" I shouted with great difficulties as pains surged through my lips and up to my head."That will always remind you to mind your business in some areas in my relationship and to be a better friend." Owen said nonchalantly. He was not even feeling remorseful.I gently removed my palms from my lips when I felt the pains subsiding, I could feel the swelling on my lips and I felt like destroying Owen's face too at that moment and for the fact that I had only lied about hearing a moan, his room was even soundproofed in the first place, I just got a bigger lips for nothing."Wow! I can't deny the fact that you are looking more handsome this way." Owen mocked me and I remained silent, I only glared at him before going back to my seat and sat down.Owen sighed and sat on the sofa opposite mine. "I don't understand man, what the hell did you meant by that text you dr
