The Devil behind me Chapter 137
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

"A young man?" Axel asked again, the calm face that he had pulled throughout the interview falling off. "Yes, boss" John answered. "Who is he?" Axel questioned as he made his way straight to the elevator, Marcel followed and they got into the elevator. "I'm not sure but when I checked his profile, he is an heir to one of the large companies in country B" Axel frowned. "His looks?" he asked again. Marcel became silent, not even making the slightest sound as the temperature in the elevator turned cold. If he wasn't careful, everything would be thrown down on him if his boss gets angry. "Black hair, tall, handsome" John explained cause he knew what his boss was talking about. "Prepare the private jet, we are going to Country B" Axel suddenly said, he hung up the call as the elevator made a ding sound and he walked out. Marcel's eyes widened in shock, this was the first time he was seeing this side of his boss. Marcel cracked his brain as they got into the office, he needed to find

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
The Devil behind me Chapter 174
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
