The Devil behind me Chapter 165
SCOTT'S MANSION, 8 AM*** Sofia sat down on the bed in her bedroom, hugging her pillow with crossed legs as she bit her nails, her eyes fixated on the door. Frustrated, angry, and jealous at the same time. Angry at the fact that she had been there with the Stuart family for over a month, yet, she couldn't still get in there. She couldn't still get the position she wanted in the family, as Axel Stuart's wife. She screamed in anger and threw her pillow to the floor "Why, why, why... Why can't it just be me? I love him more than Mirabel would ever, and I want him more than Mirabel does, but he didn't even bat an eye at me. All he wants is Mira, Mira, and Mira" Sofia yelled, her voice echoing to the walls of the room as she expressed her woes. Aching at the fact that, even though Mirabel wasn't there all through, he still asked for her immediately after he woke up. Over the last week, she couldn't even show her face by going to visit Reina again, especially not after the last week, Axel

"It's high time you stop being childish, Charlotte, are you seriously asking me what I'm doing here? Like you own the hotel?" Joanne rose a brown at the young lady who stood in her front with a fiery look on her face. Charlotte bit her lips, she had asked the question out of surprise, cause what in the world would her stepmom be doing at a hotel, she was surprised when she saw her, that's why she asked the question. Charlotte internally reminded herself that she should stop wasting her time on her stepmom, taking a deep breath, Charlotte took a step back, and Joanne walked out of the elevator with her heels clicking on the floor and her handbag on her wrist as she walked out with posh. Charlotte rolled her eyes and didn't say a thing before she entered the elevator, closing it shut by pressing a button. The elevator doors closed shut before Joanne looked back at it again, a smile on her lips, she had come here to find out about the floor where Charlotte was staying, to be sure of h

Mirabel and Arabella arrived at the clinic, Mirabel looked down at her phone to check the time, before they both walked out of the car and sauntered into the clinic. At the same time, a red Bugatti Veyron was seen driving past the highway, Sofia frowned when her gaze fell on the lady walking toward the clinic entrance. She pulled her car to a stop by the roadside, in time to see Mirabel walk into the clinic with another lady beside her. Her brows creased into a frown at the sight "Isn't that Mirabel?" she had seen Mirabel's pictures a bunch of times, so the face wasn't new to her. She knew her love rival's face so well. There wasn't much to worry about seeing Mirabel walking into a clinic, but Sofia couldn't sit back and shrug off the feeling bubbling inside of her, especially when she knew that this clinic was known popularly as a maternal clinic. "What is she doing here?" she became confused for some time, Sofia brought out her phone and dialed a number. The call rang for the fir

Axel and Troy arrived at Hades' hospital to check up on their grandfather before they head for work. Axel was dressed in a white long sleeve and a black tailored suit with black pants, his hair brushed to the back, giving him a cool but chilly look as he had no smile on his face as usual. Troy was dressed in a casual piece of clothing, he didn't bother himself when it comes to dressing, and his hair was ruffled, giving him a more approachable look compared to his brother. Marcel walked behind them as they headed to the hospital room, when they arrived at the door, Axel gave a slight knock "Come in" the old man's voice said from inside before Axel opened the door and sauntered in. "Good morning, grandfather" Axel greeted as he entered the room and saw his grandfather sitting on the bed, his gaze on nothing as he drank water from a mug. "Morning, Axel" He turned his gaze to the door when he heard a voice from there. "Good morning, Sir" Marcel greeted. "Morning" "Good morning, gran

A Week Later... Mirabel walked out of the hotel alongside the crew members, and entered a bus, she sat down close to the window, staring outside. A few minutes later, the others got in and slowly the bus drove out of the hotel's vicinity. Beside her was her assistant who was writing something in a notebook, Mirabel glanced at her "What are you writing?" "Nothing much had to document a few things down. I'm done" Olivia said as she closed the book and dropped it in her handbag. Nodding, Mirabel turned to look out of the window again, as they drove through the highway of Country A, her thoughts wandered off to somewhere else. Over the past week, after the day she had met Axel last, they didn't come across each other's path again, she was partly worried that he didn't come for her, although she had chased him away and said a lot of hurtful things to him, but still... Was he going to give up on her, so easily? She unconsciously moved her hand to her abdomen, rubbing it in circles, an

The car was silent as Axel's words rendered her mute to say a thing. After a long drive, Axel pulled the car to a stop as they arrived at the destination. He came down from the car, arranging his suit as he walked to the other side, and opened the door for Mirabel before she could open it herself. "Thank you," Mirabel said as she came out of the car, she looked up at the place they were, it was a restaurant, taking a deep breath she walked and made her way inside with Axel following after. He had taken time out of his busy schedule to plan things out. Mirabel walked into the restaurant and looked around, seeing that the place was empty except for them. "Are we alone?" she couldn't help but ask. "Yes," he answered. Although surprised and moved, Mirabel didn't say anything as he led her to the table in the middle of the restaurant, close to the window a little, the other tables were empty, and the place was dimly lit with a warm, cozy atmosphere. The walls were painted in soft, m

COUNTRY B*** It was almost 6 PM and the case had been adjourned, Samael stood outside of the Lord's House with Quinn who had a panicked expression on her face. A man stood in front of them with a grin on his face as he saw the expression on Quinn's gaze. "All I want is for you to drop your charges, all of them, and I would tell my men to leave her alone," a man who looked to be in his early sixties said. He had a twisted expression that showed he was not to be trifled with. He wore a clean suit that was tailored to fit him perfectly, giving off an air of power and authority. Despite his age, his physique was still impressive, with broad shoulders and a lean build. His voice was low and menacing, and it was clear that he was used to getting what he wanted. He had a way of speaking that made it clear that he was not to be crossed. His words were dripped with malice and cruelty, and his face was lined with wrinkles, but his eyes were sharp and piercing, like that of a hawk. Samael

Quinn and Samael stood outside, panic written all over their face as they were confused about what step to take next. "What are we going to do, Dad?" Quinn asked worriedly as she saw Laurence making his way to where they stood. "We just have to wait for a call from Evan," Samael said It was at this same moment that Quinn's phone rang out loud, she answered it and brought it up to her ear. "Go on with the case. Axel and Mirabel are out of there" Evan said in a rushed tone, he was about to board a jet when he got a call from the clan's tech room as they had access to the footage of where Mirabel and Axel were. Heaving a breath, Quinn glanced at her father "They are okay" she said. The fear in Samael's face earlier pulled down, it was at this same moment that Laurence arrived at where they were. "So, what do you say? Are you dropping the charges or you would prefer to have your niece dead?" he asked with a smile on his face. Without answering, Samael walked past him and went insi

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
