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'S POVI sat there, my head spinning. My thoughts were a jumble of emotions, and I couldn't make sense of any of it. I didn't know what to do, and I felt paralyzed with indecision. I thought about my life here, and all the people I would be leaving behind if I moved to the new house with Mabel. I decided not to care about anything anymore, be it my mum, or Mabel. The gruesome accident that I had have thought me to enjoy life, because life really is short.I thought about my life there, and all the new opportunities it would bring. But I also felt scared and uncertain. I wanted to make the right decision, but I wasn't sure what that was."I would move into the house, but we'll live like stranger's our rooms apart, everyone minding their own business. Sleeping with her and getting a child as my mum wanted was out if the question, because I won't and would never."I met up with my friends at the golf course, and we headed out to the first tee. As we walked, I tried to clear my head
MABEL POVI hurriedly interrupted, my voice shaking with panic and anger, this was not the plan and I can't do this shit. This same thing was the reason I don't want to get married to that brat and they want me to do same thing, Never!!! "Wait, there must be some mistake! I never agreed to perform in a live sex show and I will never do that nonsense. That was never part of our agreement!" I yelled almost loosing my mind because this is crazy and something I will never do.My manager chuckled, clearly enjoying my discomfort and I rolled my eyes at him not even ready to have any unnecessary argument because this was something that he knows I won't think twice to decline then why still pressurizing me to do something against my will."Well, Mabel, you know how the industry works. Sometimes things change, and you have to adapt. It's a great opportunity for you to showcase your skills not really a bad idea,if you ask me" He replied and I gawked at him surprise that this was coming from hi
MABEL'S POVMy eyes fluttered open drowsily and that was when it dawn on me that what just happened www a dream."Better!" I muttered sleepily, Can't believe that shit would happen in my dream or was I just thinking too much about him being a pornstar."No!, Never" I quickly replied to no one in particular, the last time I checked, I didn't have a manager. I just help my dad run his company although it's already at its bridge of shattering but getting married to this brat just settled everything."This marriage is tasteless and this was not the life I wish and wanted.I've always dreamt and imagined my life with the man i love, I planned to do a lot with him. I have never imagined getting married to someone I don't love because I know the home won't be peaceful, it's a forced marriage and how the hell are we gonna live when we both each other so much. How can his mom planned a wedding for someone that's grieving of his dead girlfriend, I might be a bad person at times but it's unfair
MABEL'S POVI could feel the tension building in the room not like I care about what he was about doing next although I could sensed his anger. He flared up in response to what I said earlier and I scoffed acting like I wasn't scared of his angry stares.My heart raced with a mixture of fear and boldness, refusing to back down despite the fact I am triggering him right now. He the took a step closer to me, his eyes filled with anger and his voice changing to a sarcasm tone. "Oh, I see. So now you're going to insult me by shaming my career as usual because that's the only thing you know how to do, using people's lifestyle against them. Do you know it feels so stupid coming from someone who knows nothing about me. Funny enough what amaze me more is the fact that this marriage favours your family" He ranted like a fool and I rolled my eyes not letting the trash he just spilled out gets to me."Please, spare me the self-righteous act. Your socalled career doesn't change the fact that 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
