The Devil behind me Chapter 104
***ARION After a long night, morning finally came, Mirabel walked out of the room with her bag in her hand, they were leaving today, this morning, and she was already prepared. They had their breakfast already and Axel was waiting for her outside the villa, they would leave in his private jet which would take off a few minutes from now. Mirabel walked out of the villa and saw Axel outside conversing with his assistant, Marcel, who stood beside him. Hearing the footsteps, Axel looked up and glanced at where Mirabel now stood, he walked up to her with a smile on his face which Mirabel wasn't still used to, but anyways, she smiled back. "We would come back another time but for now we need to return," said Axel, and Mirabel nodded to him. In all honesty, she would have loved it if they could stay back for a while but that was nearly impossible as they have other things to do. The last two days were like a full long week to her and she wished it could last longer. "I'm going out. Mar

COUNTRY B**** Quinn stood with her deep-rooted gaze on Evan like they were in a face-off as she glared at him in annoyance. She was tired of this man always helping her out or watching out for her whenever she goes on a mission. This wasn't the first time he was doing this and she was sure it wouldn't be the last also. "Why are you here Evan? I told you I can do this on my own" Quinn seethed in rage as she stood with crossed arms glaring at the man who had his back resting on his black flashy car. Evan's ash long hair swayed with the wind, right now they were outside the borders of Reaper's territory, he heard about Quinn's mission and decided to follow her, because he was worried, although he knew she could do it on her own. "Let's just get to work and leave here early, Quinn" he muttered in a calm voice as he glanced at the woman who stood a few feets away fuming "I'm not going to explain anything or argue with you, we have a work to finish off", Evan said as he wiped off the dus

After a two hours journey, the jet finally landed in Axel's mansion. Axel came down with Mirabel in his arms sleeping, she slept late last night and had to wake up early this morning which was why she was tired and worn out. Axel entered the mansion and went straight to their room. Amela, the maid trailed behind him with Mirabel's bag. Axel gently lay Mirabel on the bed "Welcome back, Young master" Amela greeted as she dropped the bag in the bedroom. Axel nodded his head before the maid left the room, Axel removed his suit and then his tie, he was about to leave the bedroom and head to the sitting room cause he had something to work on with his assistant but he heard a sound on the bed which had him glance in that direction. Mirabel who had been sleeping for a while now woke up and rubbed her hands on her sleepy eyes wondering how she had slept off on the jet. She looked around the room and saw Axel at the door staring at her "How long was I asleep?" she asked with a yawn as she g

"You? What are you doing here?" Troy questioned, surprise evident in his voice and the way he looked at her. Charlotte sat down there trying her best to look away so he wouldn't see her. Troy stretched out his hand to help her up, Charlotte moved her hand to his, and with their hands clasped tightly, he helped her to her feet. "Thank you" she moved her lips slowly and muttered in a very low voice, to the extent that Troy didn't hear a thing she said. Charlotte nodded her head and tried to walk past Troy like she didn't know him, but Troy wasn't taking that shit. He grabbed her by the hand and turned her to face him. "What are you trying to pull right now? You want to pretend to not know me?" Troy asked with his gaze on her. Charlotte was determined to not open her mouth and say a thing. With the thought that he would let her go when she didn't respond at all. "Are you dumb? you don't know how to speak again?" Troy queried with his left brow raised. Charlotte frowned and shook he

Back in Axel's mansion, they stared at each other for a while before Axel opened up "It was" he said shortly, there was no need to hide it from her since she would end up finding out about it and also the Corvin clan which appeared she was yet to have a hint of, for now. Mirabel pursed her lips, as if speechless as to what to say next, she seemed calm hearing this, because she always had the feeling that it didn't just happen. She never mentioned it to anyone because she had no point to prove her instinctual thoughts, but no matter how hard she tried to push away the feeling, it always came back. "You know who?" she asked in a very calm tone before she rested her head back on Axel's shoulders to hide the tear that was forming in her eyes and threatening to fall out. "For now, not sure," Axel said before giving her a slight peck on her head "Sorry for digging back into it without your consent, it seemed to be tied to my father but I don't know how or why that's another reason why I a

Mirabel walked to Arabella's apartment after Enoch dropped her off. When she got to the door, she tried to open the door but realized it was locked. She dipped her hands into her purse to use the spare key to Arabella's house which she had. "Geez" Mirabel muttered in frustration when she didn't see the key in her purse, she forgot to pick it up from the table at home cause that's where she dropped it. Mirabel gave a knock on the door and waited for a while but she received no response so she took out her phone to call Arabella. The call was answered after the second ring "You are here already?" came Arabella's voice. "Yeah... where are you?" Mirabel questioned her. "I'm here" Mirabel turned around as she heard Arabella's voice from behind her. "Went down to buy some stuff" Arabella walked to her holding two bags in her hands "Pick the key from my trouser pocket," Arabella said and turned. Mirabel dug her hand into the pocket to bring out the key. She brought it out and inserted

"Hey! Have something to work on, and might not arrive home today, but if I come it would be late at night" Axel's husky sweet voice rang into Mirabel's ear as she brought the phone up after answering it. "Umm..." Mirabel didn't know what to say to this, cause this was probably the first time he was calling to inform her of things like this, and although it sounded strange, it was still very sweet and considerate of him "Ok then, goodbye" she said calmly. "Mn," Axel said before he ended the call. Dave, Marcel, and John stood in front of him with blank faces while Axel had his back resting on his black range rover. "Marcel, stay behind in case anything arises, John you also. We need someone that can give us the needed information from here. Dave and I would meet Lucas at the town" Axel informed his men who nodded with an "Ok, Sir" Axel would have preferred that Lucas get the man and bring him here, but as much as the idea would sound easier and better, the last thing he wanted was t

Stephen came to a settlement with the manager before he left there with Harris, taking a last glance at the condo opposite. It was a plain coincidence at first, he would never have thought she also lived here. And one thing he failed to understand was why she ran back inside in such a rush. "Hey, dude! why have you been spacing out" Harris said as they arrived at the hospital premises. It was Stephen's car but Harris was driving. "Uhh, nothing really" Stephen replied. before he got down from the car as the car came to a halt at the parking lot. Harris also came down and followed behind Stephen who made his way to the elevator that leads straight to the DIRECTOR'S office. Stephen didn't say anything at all till they got to his office and Harris asked. "When are you moving into the condo?" he questioned It was still Monday so Stephen answered "Maybe before Wednesday," "Ok then," Harris said before he took a seat on the couch while Stephen walked to his office chair. They were the

The Devil behind me EPILOGUE
FOUR YEARS LATER*** Axel's mansion was lively with kids playing around as the sun shone its light across the fields. Amora and Arden who were now seven years old, they sat down in the garden with Mabel as they played on the grass in the garden. Amora and Mabel's hair was packed into two ponytails, Amora had taken her father's black shiny hair, while Arden's hair was brown, falling to his forehead and covering it. Mabel on the other hand, had taken her mother's blonde hair, the kids played around together, under the loving gazes of their fathers who sat down on chairs facing the kids. "Who would have thought my silent little Mabel would end up becoming a chaotic little princess" Troy sighed. "A silent nature doesn't even fit her, to begin with, her father is so noisy while her mother is cheerful, I think her new behavior stemmed from you both" Stephen chipped in as he sat beside Troy, sipping from the cup of wine in his hand and occasionally staring at where the ladies sat down c
The Devil behind me THE WEDDING
THREE YEARS LATER*** The sun was shining brightly in the sky, casting a warm glow over the beautiful outdoor wedding venue. A road of white chairs was neatly arranged on either side of a grassy aisle, leading up to an elegant white archway adorned with delicate flowers of greenery. The soft staring of classical music filled the air. As the guests eagerly awaited the bride's arrival, Axel stood nervously at the end of the aisle, his heart racing as he prepared to see Mirabel for the first time in her wedding dress. Beside him stood a young boy who looked beyond stunning, with a calm aura around him, dressed in a miniature version of his father's tuxedo, standing proudly as one of the groomsmen. Stephen stood with Axel trying to claim his friend down, and beside him was Martin. And then, finally, they heard light footsteps as someone walked in, a young baby girl three years old, walked down the aisle with a small basket of flowers in her hand, her smile was so bright that the guest

Six Months Later. Mirabel sat down in the garden taking in a breath of air, as she ate some fruits, her baby bump was now super obvious cause she was already nine months gone, her phone which was on the table rang out loud, and she picked it up and check the caller ID, smiling, she answered the call and moved the phone to her ear. "Hey! Quinn, how are you doing?" "Mira! I'm good, how's the baby?" Quinn asked, her words made Mirabel gently rub her baby bump and the baby respond with a kick, an action that the child does once in a while. "Fine," she said with a smile. "That's good. I'm coming to Country A in a few days with my father, he insists on meeting Axel's family" Quinn said. "Ok, we'll make preparations for it" They talked for the next few minutes before the call came to an end. The gates of the mansion were opened and a car drove in, pulling to a stop when it reached the parking lot, Axel came down from the car and walked over to where Mirabel sat in the garden, a bright

Troy held her closely as her body pressed onto his, and the tension in the room increased. His eyes widened when Charlotte brushed her thighs to his member who was already standing hard. He didn't need anyone to tell him that he had also been drugged, he just wasn't sure how it had happened. He groaned as the place in between her legs slightly brushed through his member, he was only wearing a towel. He held her waist tightly as his body heated up, holding her waist, he stood up with her, their lips still sealed, he led her to the bed, dropping her on it, Charlotte looked up at him, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but he was the only one she could give in to. Her body was heating up and she needed him. "I'm so sorry, but I don't think this is right, you might end up hating me when you realize what happened tomorrow. I'll look for another way to help you, the last thing I want is for you to stay away from me. Let me think of something else" he said and was about to take a t

As the clip reached its climax, the music swelled to a fever pitch. The woman burst into a run, her pursuers hot on their heels. Just when it seemed that all was lost, she stumbled and fell, her body hitting the pavement with a sickening thud. The screen faded to black, leaving the crowd in stunned silence, for a moment, no one moved or spoke, the impact of the drama they had just witnessed lingered in the air. Slowly, the lights in the hall began to brighten, and the crowd began to stir. As the realization of the drama's impact set in, the murmurs turned into a wave of thunderous applause that echoed through the hall. The applause was loud and sustained as the crowd showed their appreciation for the performance and expertly crafted storytelling that had been brought to life on the screen before them. The waitress who had been standing by the door walked into the hall as the place brightened up. She went up straight to the table where the trio sat. She handed out the tray to the

Sofia paced around the corridor, at the far end of it, she brought out her phone and dialed a number, it was answered on the first ring. "Hello, Miss" the female voice from the other end greeted. Without returning the greeting, Sofia went straight to the point of the call "I don't care how you are going to do it, all I want you to do is slip the drug in a drink and hand it to him. If at all you fail to do this, you would regret it, and if you succeed, I'll award you with a million bucks" "Remember. No matter what happens at the end of the day, you must never call my name if you are caught. Deal?" Long silence from the other end "Ok, Ms. It's a deal, I'll do it. When would I get the money?" the waitress asked. "After you hand him the drink, I'll send the money" "Ok," the call came to an end. Sofia had a sly grin on he face, this was just her first plan and for some reason, she feels like she would get what she was here for. Sofia wasn't sure yet how she was going to put her firs

***NEXT DAY*** The sun shone its light brightly across the main city of Country A, giving it a tint of a jolly mood, it was finally the day for IMPERIAL'S end-of-year celebration and GoldFox's third anniversary. Axel was in his bedroom getting dressed up with Mirabel also, her belly protruding a little, it was a little obvious that she was pregnant. She picked out a red dress that Axel had bought for her, and she wore the dress "Axel," she called out gently as he was fitting on his leather shoes, his hair brushed to the back giving him a charming look. "Please help me zip it up," she said turning her back to him, Axel stood up from the couch, walked closer to her, and pulled the zipper up with a broad smile on his face. Mirabel looked at herself in the mirror, a lovely smile on her face. The dress was beautiful, it was finished with delicate details that add to its elegance. The bodice is adorned with intricate lace appliques that gave it a touch of femininity, and the hemline is

Weeks Later**** The day was bright with a lovely scent in the atmosphere. It was a Monday Morning, around 10 AM, a day before the end-of-year celebration. Mirabel was sitting down in the living room, peeling oranges and taking them, Arabella who had come to visit her was also there as they conversed, sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone as she drank from the orange juice on the table. Mirabel stops at a post from a fan account as she noticed something. Her brows creased as she read the caption: "The side character slayed, in the latest episode of THE DUKE'S LADY, can't wait to see more of her!" Mirabel was surprised but she still sat down, trying to keep her cool. The Drama she played role in Gold Fox was DUKE'S LADY. She read other further posts to have an understanding of what was going on. "What's wrong?" Arabella asked as she noticed Mirabel's change in expression. "Wait... I'm coming" Suddenly, Mirabel's phone rang, interrupting her thoughts, taking the p

A Week Later**** It was the last week of November, and after a few days, Mirabel was finally discharged from the hospital, her gaze fell on Axel, he had been there ever since, not leaving the hospital, he slept in the hospital, worked from the hospital, the only time he left was whenever he wanted to go home and take his bath and also to bring her meals for her. She was touched. She wasn't even sure if he had an ounce of sleep. Before she goes to bed, he was awake to watch her, and by the time she woke up, he was always there, staring lovingly at her. Axel led her out of the hospital, his white sleeved shirt was tucked into his black pants, unlike every other day, he wasn't wearing a suit today, their palms held in a firm grasp as they made their way to his car, followed by Dave, Lucas, and John. Marcel was in the company, busy finalizing the last preparations for the end-of-year celebration. Axel opened the passenger door for Mirabel and she entered, under the gentle gaze of A
