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
Charlotte arrived at GOLDFOX, she drove her car to the parking lot and stopped, hopping down from the car. She turned to leave the parking lot and head into the company but she was stopped by a person's voice which she heard from behind her. "Who comes to work by this time? You are so late, are you queried for this? it's after eleven already, yet, you just arrived" The voice sounded familiar so she turned around to look at who was speaking, and just like she expected she saw him. She didn't want to argue with this person so she just said "I had something important to do back at home that's why I'm late. I come early to work every day, today as an exception" she muttered to his hearing. Troy became silent for a while, he was just arriving at the company as he had left to go get something hours ago, on coming back he saw the figure that he was very much used to seeing now. "I'll inform Mrs. Jennie to not accept lateness from anyone again, you all don't know how to abide by rules caus
2:00 PM, ARLAN*** After cleaning his face, legs, and hand gently with a wet cloth, Mirabel sat down beside Axel who was still in an unconscious state on the bed, his fingers only moved last night but nothing else happened after that, she let out a breath and stood up from the bed before she walked into the bathroom. She turned the faucet on and splashed water on her face, she hadn't slept ever since last night and she didn't want to, cause she wanted to be awake to watch over him. The throbbing headache she had a couple of days ago had finally stopped, but her body seemed weak recently. After rinsing her face she came out of the bathroom with a towel which she used in wiping off the water, the door to the bedroom was gently opened and Stephen walked inside. "You still haven't touched your breakfast," he said and walked up to the bed, Mirabel glanced at him and then at the table where her food was kept, she didn't feel like eating that's why. John brought food this morning which wa
