The Devil behind me Chapter 121
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

Quinn glanced up at the sky before she looked back down at Mirabel who had her gaze directed straight at a tall tree, they were in the forest right now and trees surrounded them, big, tall trees that made a shade above their heads. Mirabel sat down on the forest green grass while Quinn stood directly beside her. "What do you want to tell me?" Mirabel said after a long while of sitting and saying nothing to each other. She turned her gaze to the lady dressed in all black who had her back resting against a tree. "Your parents died as a result of... Don't know how exactly to start this but your father and mother's union was never accepted from the beginning, that's something you should know about first before anything" Quinn squatted down and picked a stone from the floor. Mirabel didn't say anything as her gaze followed Quinn closely "I'm not in the right shoes to tell you this story, my father is, and he would explain better when I take you from here" Quinn threw the stone up and cau

Days ran out fast and soon it was Friday, Mirabel woke up when she heard a sound from her phone which dinged with a message. Still feeling groggy, Mirabel yawned, her back was aching so badly cause she had been sleeping on the couch beside Axel's bed, she glanced at him, he was still unconscious and there was no improvement in his health for the past few days. Mirabel took a bottle of water from the table beside the couch, uncapped it, and then gulped it down, she stood up and walked to the bathroom, returning a few minutes later after she had brushed her teeth and also rinsed her face. She picked up her phone which made a sound that woke her up, it was a message from Arabella which read.~~Sunrise, Sunshine Mira!! time to wake up and make breakfast for Axel. *Giggles* I'll remind you this every day till your early moon is over *Wink* A tear escaped from Mirabel's eyes as she stared at the message, she had lied to Arabella. She lied to her friend that she went on an early moon with

A disaster that needed to be solved soon. "We have to think of something fast and soon," Stephen said, almost having a throbbing headache on the recent happenings. "But what?" Mirabel cried, right now she knew she couldn't just leave tomorrow till all this is settled. She can't just go with Quinn when they had an issue to solve right here. She was confused about what to do, everyone was confused. The door was opened and John walked in alongside Dave whose condition was now okay as he could walk properly, his injuries were healing already. Troy looked at Mirabel as he hesitated to speak, not knowing if what he was about to say would make any sense but he still went on "If things get worse, we would have to tell them what happened, but we would wait for a few more days first" he said and Stephen nodded in approval, that was the only thing they could do right now, buy more time and wait for a few more days with the hope that Axel wakes up from his unconscious state. Axel who lay on

STUART'S MANSION*** Old master's study room, it was Saturday morning and the newspaper arrived at the mailbox outside of the mansion. Master Stuart was in his study room sipping his early morning coffee as he looked out of the window to the garden, his gaze traveling around the different colors of flowers that decorated the garden, he stayed there for a few more minutes before he stood up from there and walked to the table, he picked up his phone to make a call but the loud knock on his door from someone outside made him furrow his brows in anger. Why would someone come and knock on his door this way, early this morning, the person knocked again, this time harshly as if he or she couldn't wait any longer. With a frown on his face, the old master walked to the door, his walking stick clicked as he approached the door, rather than telling the person to come in, he decided on checking who the person was first. With his hand on the door handle, he opened it to meet Vince who looked to

Troy hung up the call after the call ended with grandfather, he rubbed his palms on his forehead and rested his back on the couch "Can things just not get worse" he muttered. "They would arrive in less than an hour if they take the private jet, what are we going to say to them if they come? Grandfather is already panicked and furious" Troy said, after telling his grandfather about Axel's accident, he asked what happened but he told them he didn't know how to explain the situation, and now they were coming to Arlan. "It's good they know now, at least that problem is canceled," Mirabel said as she picked up her phone from the table next to the bed, she hadn't switched it on ever since last night. Her action earned a glance from Troy who shared a look with Stephen, she was going to find out about the article and there was nothing they could do. Mirabel switched on her phone and at that same moment Troy immediately stood up and grabbed it from her hand, his action surprised her and she

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
