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
"Jeff, take this to the clan tech room, inform Raymond to dig into it, and give me feedback soon" Samael handed out the almost torn paper to Jeff who received it immediately before he left the place. Samael glanced at Quinn "What else did you find to be suspicious?" he asked. Quinn shook her head "Nothing" Evan didn't say anything also, he bowed his head "I'll take my leave, sir" he said and left after receiving a nod from Samael. Not sparing the lady who sat down a glance. Quinn's scrutinizing eyes followed him till he left the place, releasing a deep breath she dipped her hand into her pocket and brought out something which was wrapped. She opened it and threw the bubble gum into her mouth. Samael and Quinn didn't say anything to each other for a while "What's with you and Evan?" Samael questioned as he noticed Quinn's little interaction. She turned to look at her father who was looking at her skeptically as if he found something out, Quinn squinted her gaze at him and said "No
