The Devil behind me Chapter 114
The day ran out fast, and soon it was time to call off for work, Mirabel walked out of the company after informing her manager that she was leaving. With her bag on her shoulders, Mirabel made her way to the car which was parked by the end of the road. "Mirabel" someone called out to her and hearing the familiar voice made her stop on her steps. She turned around, and just like she assumed, she saw him, it was Steve. It's been a long time since she heard of him, she thought. "Steve? What are you doing..." Before she could complete her statement, he pulled her close to him and hugged her, his action made Mirabel unbelievably stand stiff before she came back to her senses and pushed him off, not too hard. "What are you doing here?!" she questioned. "I came to see you," Steve said, he didn't look better than the last time they met, rather he looked worse, with his hair disheveled and his face pale and dry. "Why? I don't remember us having a reason to meet each other" Mirabel said, sh

Stephen closed from work very early on Tuesday cause he needed to move into his new apartment, the place had already been cleaned on Monday after he made the payment to the condo manager. Stephen drove his white range rover into the place and parked at a carport just beside his condo. He came down from the car and picked up his box from the Dikki of the range rover before he closed it and walked to his condo, he inserted the key to the door before opening it and walking in. He spent the next two hours arranging the place and setting his things in, and by 4 PM he was already through, by the time he finished, he had his shower. He walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, a sight to behold! With his left hand on his waist and his right hand which he used in wiping the water from his hair with a towel, he looked around the room again to see if anything was missing. The bedroom was moderately wide with a bed in the middle, a study table and chair by the side, a

Mirabel finally arrived back at the mansion as Enoch drove into the vicinity, when the car stopped, she didn't wait for Enoch to come down and open the door for her. Mirabel opened the car door and came down before heading into the mansion with her bag and with hopes of seeing that Axel had returned. Mirabel's wish didn't come to pass, rather than seeing Axel back at home, she saw his father in the living room seated, the sight came as a surprise to her but she still went in to greet him. Vince heard footsteps and he rose from the chair, his gaze wasn't holding anything friendly "Good evening, Father" she greeted him. The time was already after six. "Who is your father? and who gave you the right to refer me with that?" he inquired with an almost thundering voice that had Mirabel shiver unexpectedly. She rose her head up in speechlessness, she didn't know if his question needed an answer or not "Umm, I'm sorry" she apologized. "I am not here to waste my time on you, just pack your

Stephen arrived at Arlan a few hours later, he drove to the address which John had sent to him in a rush. The place was on the outskirts of the city, his car drove into the vicinity of the address, Stephen parked his car and came down with a box in his hands which he had taken with him. The house didn't have a luxurious look to it, it was just a simply built bungalow, Stephen walked to the door of the place and gave it a knock as it was locked. He waited for a few minutes before the door was opened from the inside. The door was opened by Lucas in particular. He had a bandage wrapped around his left hand. "Lucas? Are you okay??" Stephen called out and asked as his gaze traveled to Lucas who appeared to have been injured. Lucas nodded "Yes, I am" and replied shortly before he opened the door wide for Stephen to come in. "Where is Axel?" he asked. "The first room" Lucas pointed to a room, the bungalow had a sitting room and two bedrooms in it. After receiving a direction, Stephen w

Mirabel came down from the car when the wind of air hit her, making her stagger a little as she held her hand to her forehead, she was feeling extremely dizzy but she wanted to see Axel, and that was enough to keep her up. Marcel walked to where she was and came to stand beside her "He's here, let's go in ma'am" he said and she nodded before he made his way to the building with her trailing behind. As they approached the building, Mirabel's gaze landed on the lady that stood beside the door. She was donned completely in black colors, Mirabel's gaze squinted but she looked away. Just before they could get in Quinn stopped them. "I would appreciate it if we don't have a lot of people coming into this place," she said to Marcel and Mirabel but her gaze was directed to Mirabel as she blocked them from going further into the house. Her action earned a frown from the two people standing in her front. Marcel didn't know who she was nor had he met her before, but he knew their boss was sav

"I'm here," Mirabel said Quinn heard the footsteps that approached and then the voice but she didn't turn to look, she knew Mirabel would come because she had no choice. The cigarette she was smoking became small so she pressed the butt on the wood she sat on, after that, she threw it away before glancing at the lady who was still standing. "Sit" Quinn muttered "Thanks, but please just go straight to the point, tell me what you know," Mirabel said and Quinn chuckled lowly, her action made Mirabel squint her gaze at her. "Ok then, I'll surely tell you what I know but you might need to sit, not that I care, I was just trying to be considerate," Quinn said and stood up from the log of wood, with her back now facing Mirabel. Mirabel didn't say anything after hearing what she said "I want something from you if I tell you" Quinn said to her hearing. Mirabel knew something like this might come up, so she was prepared for it, she wasn't dumb to not know that no one would want to give ou

The next day, Joanne headed to Charlotte's room when it was 8 AM, after opening the door, she walked in, and to her surprise, she saw Charlotte sitting on the floor with her back on the wall and her eyes closed. Joanne walked closer to Charlotte and used her legs to kick her, Charlotte who wasn't sleeping at all opened her eyes and glared at her "What do you want?" she spat. "The guests would arrive in an hour so get up and dress up before then," Joanne said and dropped a bag on the bed "That's the dress and shoe you would be wearing," Joanne said and stood facing Charlotte who was still on the floor, crossing her arms she opened up "You better get up, or get ready to face the consequences" Charlotte didn't still move at all when she heard her stepmom's words. They stayed in the same position for a few minutes before Charlotte let out a chuckle and opened her eyes, she didn't sleep throughout the night, and she couldn't as she was thinking about how wretched her life had become "Ok"

COUNTRY B**** Samael sat down on a chair in the large space all alone, his gaze was straight to a portrait which was on the wall. The portrait had three people in it, a man who was in his early fifties at that time and two other children stood on each side while he sat down. Samael let out a sigh, the portrait was taken when Daniella was still alive and hadn't run away from the clan, in the picture, their father had a straight face as he sat down, it was always like that, while Daniella had a lovely smile on her face. "I'm sorry Daniella," Samael said in a low voice. He and his sister had a very close relationship but no matter what, rules are rules, and whoever broke them must face the consequences, which was the reason for his sister's death. Samael recalled the incident that happened years ago, it was twenty-five years ago before Daniella eloped the clan and country for the man she loved.***25 YEARS AGO*** "Father, I love this man so much and he does the same, please let me ju

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
