The year was almost coming to an end, it was already November, exactly a month after Mirabel left Country A and started a new life in Country B. A month after which Axel had since been unconscious, exceeding the expected number of days he was meant to wake up. A month after which Charlotte had been living at a hotel, although she was being charged a lot, it was all worth it, at least she had peace in her life which she never knew she could have, her father wasn't there to throw words at her nor was Joanne, her stepmom, they didn't even bother to communicate with her at all for the last few weeks, and she couldn't be happier. It was also a month after which Troy had been checking up on his brother at the hospital every day after work. Troy had to take over the responsibility of Gold Fox and Imperial since his brother wasn't there. Grandfather took pity on Troy two weeks ago, after seeing how hard he was working, the old master decided to finally unfreeze his account. The Stuart hous
The hospital room was pin-drop silent, no one spoke a thing, Troy stood beside his brother but he didn't dare to take a peek at what Axel might be reading, Stephen stood calmly at the other side of the bed, he rubbed his palm on his forehead and released a breath before he took a glance at Sofia who stood by the door, her back to the wall. Sofia would be lying if she said she wasn't infuriated and jealous, the first person he asks of after waking up is Mirabel, she wasn't here for the past month, and they never saw her drop by the hospital to check up on him, yet he asks of her at first instance, what more could make her boil and jealous? She angrily walked out of the room a few minutes later. Axel sat down on the bed, his rooted gaze was on the paper which he held in his right hand. His emotions switched fast like a rollercoaster, from anger to fear and then to confusion.******* 'I don't... No, I never felt anything for you, no one would love being manipulated into anything and
Axel sat down alone in the hospital room, staring out through the window, the words she had written in the letter still lingered in his mind, he was bothered and wondering if that was what she thought about him. Releasing a sigh, he stood up from the chair and walked to the bed, dressed in the hospital gown which he didn't like, he had to leave the place today no matter what. He sat down on the bed and it was at this moment heard the sound of his phone ringing, Marcel had brought the phone when he came around. He picked it up from the table and answered it, after seeing who the caller was. "Yes?" "We found her boss," John's voice said from the other side. Before Axel could say a thing, the door to his room was abruptly opened from outside, and with a frown, he glanced in that direction "Later" he said to John and disconnected the call. He saw his mother standing at the door, with teary eyes, but she wasn't alone, Axel squinted his eyes at the lady beside his mother, her face look
Axel buttoned up the black shirt he was wearing, he was preparing to leave the hospital and right now, he was wearing the shirt that Marcel had brought from his house. He had wanted to leave the hospital as early as 6 PM, but grandfather had stubbornly persisted that he should stay for a while longer in case of anything. "What's the time now?" he asked Marcel who stood by the door. Axel used his hands to brush his black soft hair to the back, he had worn his clothes already and was about to leave. "It's 10:23, sir" Marcel replied "Let's stop by Imperial on our way, I need to check something," Axel said and made his way to the door. "Ok, sir" Before Axel could get to the door, it was opened from outside and Stephen walked in "I wouldn't have let you leave so soon, I wonder why you stubbornly want to leave, but either way, take this after every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, make sure you don't skip any of your means for a quick recovery. And try as much as possible to stay fa
Stephen became mute for a while, completely forgetting that he came here to save her, he heard a sniff from the lady still holding him tightly, before he came back to his senses, and brought up his right hand to hers which was wrapped around his waist from the back. Aaron stared at the two people in front of him "You liar!" he shouted, "You don't have a boyfriend, I've been stalking you for over two weeks now and I've never seen you with anyone" he said. Arabella's breath hitched, if there was something anyone out there would fear just like her right now, it was being stalked, and that too for over two weeks, how come she never realized? Stephen seethed his tongue when he heard what the man on the floor said. "Get the f*ck out of here so I can complete what I started," Aaron said, feeling his head throb. Stephen brought down Arabella's hand by removing it from his waist, he handed out his phone light to her before he strolled to the man laying on the floor. Arabella immediately sw
Arabella moaned as she straddled him, she didn't want to pull out yet but if they didn't do that now, it might be too late to stop later. Stephen released her and she rested her head on his chest, trying to catch her breathing, she tried to stand up but Stephen didn't move his hand from her back, restraining her. She moved her hands to her back to remove his but he ordered "Don't" She stopped trying as she heard his words. Stephen had his eyes closed and they both became silent for a while. Arabella now had her head laying on his chest, her legs trapped between his. They stayed like that for several minutes before he finally released her. Arabella sat down upright, she used her right hand to move her hair covering her face to the back. She insinuated the kiss and right now she didn't know what to do. Stephen cleared his throat and stood up, he picked the first aid box from the table and returned it to the closet where he always kept it, he turned around again and saw her still si
"Yes? You asked to see me?" Mirabel sauntered into the large library, where Samael was always staying. Samael looked up from the files he was reading through as he heard her voice. Quinn entered the place alongside Mirabel, she walked to one of the swiveling chairs and sat down on it. "It was something important that's why I couldn't shift it till tomorrow" "Did you drop at the hospital today?" Samael asked skeptically, his eyes not moving from Mirabel, to gauge her every reaction, Mirabel felt her heart make a triple skip at the unexpected question, but she quickly shook her head and said. "Hospital? No. For what?" she questioned, standing beside the chair Quinn was sitting on. "Nothing, just wanted to be sure you are okay, we don't know what is wrong with you, so I'll advise you to check the hospital tomorrow" he suggested. "No, I'm okay, there's no need for that" Mirabel sat down on one of the chairs, her gaze on the shelf which was by her right. "Mirabel" Samael called to dr
"Sofia? again? we are still on that?" Axel appeared calm as he questioned his father, while his insides were in utter rage. Taking a heave of sigh, Vince said out loud "I don't seem to understand why you don't like Sofia, she is beautiful, brilliant, talented, has everything a man would want in a woman, and she also comes from a wealthy family which is on par to yours, you deserve someone with the same status as yours, not the lady you had brought before who is beyond lower than you in every aspect, and she is even an actress, women under the entertainment industry always have shady..." "Father!" Axel said out loud in anger, he didn't like what his father was uttering, had it been it was someone else that said something like this, Axel wouldn't waste time showing the person his or her right place. But this was his father. Vince became silent for a while, Axel pressed his palms tightly "I'm only saying this for you and your future, find a capable woman to stand by you..." "What the
