"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

COUNTRY A** Axel sat down in the meeting room alongside other executives of Imperial and Gold Fox as they discussed the upcoming end-of-year celebration. Axel had an air pod on the right side of his ear as he watched a video on his tablet, it was the video of the restaurant Mirabel went to, he stared at the screen for a long time while Marcel stood beside him. "My department and I, with the others who are holding the responsibility of preparing everything for the celebration concluded on an issue. We decided that rather than..." The man who was on his feet talking suddenly stopped with his gaze on their boss. Axel looked up "Why did you stop?" he asked, although he was watching something and his attention was divided, he was still listening to every single thing they were talking about from start. Seeing that their boss seemed to still be listening, the man continued "We concluded to have it at a hotel so that guests who would be coming far away would have a place to lodge" he ex

GOLD FOX*** Charlotte walked out of her manager's office with a pile of documents in her hands "Let me help you with that" she heard a voice say from nowhere, turning her head to the right she saw Ace standing there with a smile on his face. "Oh no no, thank you, there's no need for that," she said even though she was indeed looking for someone kind enough to help her with the heavy documents she was carrying, she was told to drop them off at the reception counter on the ground floor. "You sure?" Ace asked as he didn't move his gaze from her, her blonde hair was gluing to her neck skin as she was sweating, she must have been busy since. Before she could object again, to Charlotte's surprise, Ace took a step closer to her and picked up a pile of documents from her hands, leaving only a few. Charlotte stood there, mouth open as she forgot how to say thank you, he was so gentle. "Where are you taking it to?" Ace asked as he walked past her. Charlotte stood there, forgetting he aske

Charlotte momentarily became silent when she heard the voice scolding her and she didn't know how to explain. She has no excuse for coming late. Her gaze narrowed at Troy before she immediately bowed her head "I'm sorry, sir" she apologized but it appeared Troy was hell-bent on not letting it go easily. "There are others in here that you kept waiting for you," he said, and without looking up, Charlotte seethed her tongue. "I'm sorry everyone for keeping you all waiting for me" After she said that, Troy went on with the conversation he was having with the others. "So for Gold Fox's third anniversary which is scheduled to take place next month..." Charlotte looked up as she heard him continue his conversation, diverting the eyes from her. She glanced around the room in search of an empty seat but she didn't find any, the only one she saw was the one beside the head chair, where Troy was. She didn't know whether to go pick it up, but if she does that, then it would attract everyone t

It felt like a bucket of water was poured down Charlotte's body as she realized what she had just done, she tried to push Troy so he can drop her cause he was still carrying her, but he didn't budge, rather he peered his dark eyes into her soul "Stop" "Someone is outside," Charlotte said in a whisper as she noticed that he didn't even care about the consequences that might follow if people hear about this, was she the only one scared of the situation? "Let me go," she said in a whisper, seeing the state she was in, Troy dropped her, trapping her between his hands to the door. "How am I going to explain this, why did you come here? They would think we have been going this, oh heavens!" she cried as she ruffled her hair, something which Troy found cute as a smile marred his lips. He was about to open up and asked who it was but Charlotte was fast enough to stop him, by shushing him with her index finger on his lips. "If you say something, it would worsen the situation, cause why on
The Devil behind me Chapter 149
Charlotte drove her car into the hotel parking lot, after parking it at the right spot she came down from the car, only to receive a call once again. Without checking the caller ID this time around she angrily brought the phone to her ear "Father, I don't understand why you keep on calling me when I already told you I'll call when I'm less busy. I don't know what brought about the sudden change of mind that made you say you want me back home to complete the family, but I'm not that stupid to believe so easily after all you've done, not just to me, but also to mother while she was alive. People do not just change overnight, I don't believe the idea that it happens." she didn't stop to take a breath as she poured out all the emotions she was feeling into the call, hoping her message reaches him well. She was tired of him, tired of the type of family she grew up in, without her mother, rather with a woman who claims to care for her but still spouts rubbish even to her face. "Charlotte?

STUART'S MANSION** Axel walked into the household, he was just arriving from work and decided to drop over, he walked into the large sitting room of the mansion, and his gaze fell on his mother and sister who were in the living room, but they weren't alone. There was another lady with them, Axel's gaze lingered on her before he glanced at his mother and sister who were yet to notice his arrival as they were conversing. Reina who was listening to her daughter talk with a smile on her face looked up to see Axel walking in "Good evening, Mother" he greeted and she stood up. "Axel, I had no idea you were dropping by today," she said as she walked up to him. "Brother!" Blaire stood up also and so did Sofia who was with them for almost five hours now and was about to leave, before she saw him, her eyes sparkling as she saw the handsome fine man who stood just a few feet away from her, yet still appeared distant whenever she was close to having him. "I'm not staying for long," Axel said
The Devil behind me Chapter 151
Everyone except Axel and grandfather glanced toward Vince's direction when they heard the sound. "Mirabel? Who's Mirabel?" Blaire was the one to break the silence as she had no idea who Martins was referring to. "Why would you bring up such a matter when we are at the dining table if she isn't here, then isn't it obvious she had left? She couldn't stay with him and had left, why talk about her again?" Vince glared at Martins for bringing up such a discussion about Mirabel. "Oh! I was just curious that's why I asked" Martins used that as an excuse, which sounded like a lie, cause a smile was on his face. No one said a thing again, while Grandfather dropped his gaze to Axel who wasn't saying anything, rather he was staring deep at Martins, he looked extremely cool and not fazed about it. Minutes later Grandfather stood up from the table after he had finished his meal, Axel also stood up "I'm leaving" he announced. "Can't you stay for the night?" Reina asked but to her disappointme

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
