Lahat ng Kabanata ng Runaway With Mr. CEO’s Triplets: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

SHAWNAI immediately dashed down the stairs with my bag trying to be as quiet as I could so Damien wouldn’t know I was leaving the house.He didn't care about me enough to be bothered but if he knew I was leaving with my male friend, he'd stop me.It wasn't because he cared or was jealous but because he didn't want me to taint his reputation.I could have taken a taxi instead but it was late at night and someone of my status shouldn't be that careless.There had been times when I was nearly kidnapped because I was married to Damien but I was always lucky.If I ever got kidnapped, that would be the end of me because I doubted he'd come to my rescue.I exited the house and shut the gate behind me before crossing to the opposite side of the road to the blue, run-down car.“Are you okay?” Liam, my old friend, asked when I got into the front seat.We had been friends since college but since I got married, we rarely saw each other for obvious reasons.“Yes, I am. Now let's go,” I said with

SHAWNA“Why?” I chanted repeatedly as I sat on the toilet floor.Of all the times the child could come, it chose when Damien had decided to divorce me. I had already signed the papers so there was no going back even if I told him the truth.He was cruel and couldn't care less about me but I couldn't tell how he would react to the child.I couldn't tell if he was going to accept our child and take me back or perhaps he'd take my child from me and kick me out.There was also the possibility that he'd deny being the father or try to get rid of the baby.I didn't want to think of him as such a terrible person but he didn't care about anyone but himself. Even if he did, I wasn't a part of that group of people.I placed my hands on my stomach.“The more I think about it, the scarier it gets. I can't afford to lose this baby after everything. I won't let him know the truth.”Just then, I heard a ding on my phone and turned it on to see that I had received the money I had requested and I felt

FIVE YEARS LATERSHAWNAI wiped off the sweat from my brow as I dusted off the shelf before neatly arranging the shoes on the shelf. I've been working in this store for five years as a sales girl and yet the manager still treats me like I’m a cleaner. My phone rang and I frowned when I saw it was a call from the school. I picked up the call immediately, my expression filled with worry. “Hello,” I answered. “Shawna, your kids got into a fight with another child. Hurry and come quickly,” the teacher’s voice sounded over the phone before she hung up. I frowned my expression filled with concern as I headed out of the store, looking for my manager. She was nowhere to be found. “Please, cover for me. I have to go to school,” I said to my co-worker, Laurel. Laurel nodded, “Hurry up. You know the manager doesn't like it when you leave.”“I’ll be back soon,” I said to her. I ran out of the shop and hailed a cab to take me to school. A few minutes later the cab pulled up in front of the

DAMIENI placed my empty glass of wine on the table, my eyes falling close as I leaned into the couch, the fatigue I felt slowly dissipating. It had been weeks since I arrived at Hudsonview High, a small city in New York to oversee the acquisition and renovation of an old, historic hotel into a luxury resort.I owned quite a lot of businesses in the city and the hotel would add to it. Everything had gone according to plan and yet I felt a sense of loss that made no sense to me. I was to attend a dinner before leaving tonight so I came to get a suit at one of the stores I owned in the city. I could have sent someone but I was passing by and just wanted to spend some time by myself.“What is wrong with me?” I muttered as I buried my face in my palms. I sat up, running my hands through my hair as my lips curled downwards. “And what's taking them so long when it's just a suit?”As though they heard me, I heard a knock on the door and after a few seconds, the door slowly swung open. “Sir

EUGENE“I thought he'd never leave,” I muttered in annoyance when I heard the front door shut and immediately rushed towards the folder I'd watched him put on the table.Although Damien had restricted me from coming to his house, I still knew how to get in without the password. I hadn’t been curious about the folder, but after hearing it was about Shawna, it took everything in me not to grab it immediately and burn it.She was someone I'd been all too happy to get rid of and I couldn't afford her coming back into our lives when I hadn't made Damien mine yet. “It's been five years so why is he suddenly trying to find out about her?” I picked up the folder, my heart beating against my chest wildly. Damien had done everything he could to find Shawna when she left him but with Kyle's help, I was able to get rid of her traces and prevent him from ever locating her.I'd finally forgotten her and yet he was trying to bring her back. I couldn't allow that.“No! How is this possible?” I mutte
