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
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
