"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.

    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

    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 night was extremely cold, it poured heavily... It felt like the sky was crying with her. She stood lifelessly on the streets, tears rolled down, and tears flowed down her eyes. Drips of tears washed by the rain, she whimpered silently. How? How could he? She finally moved, she cleaned the tears from her eyes, and she tried to move her legs but it felt like it was glued to the soil. Mirabel slumped to the ground, her clothes all soaked and wet, she looked up at the sky with her eyes closed, and everything that happened started flooding into her thoughts.**** Earlier this morning~~ She left her apartment in a jolly mood today, she was all smiles when she left for her boyfriend's house.

    "What the..." Stephen said in shock, it felt like a cat got his tongue, he couldn't even find the right words to complete his statement. "Who the h*ll is she? And what is she doing on your bed??" Stephen finally asked. To say he was surprised was an understatement. "Check her," Axel said not answering Stephen's question. Axel walked to the couch and sat on it looking at the lady on the bed. Stephen finally came out of his shocked state and walked to the bed where she was laying. He checked her temperature, he suddenly frowned, his eyebrows creased and he looked at Axel. "Why is her body so hot?" He asked, her body was so hot, and her temperature wasn't normal. "Found her under the rain," Axel said. When he said so, Stephen felt like he was going to go crazy just by trying to match pieces together, his thoughts were spinning. "What??" He shouted which caused a glare from Axel. "You don't even know her? You haven't met her before?" Stephen said with a bewildered gaze. "Axel, are

She would pay back when next they cross paths.She walked into her apartment, immediately she entered, she went into her room and jumped on the bed. She lay on her bed and memories of every single thing that happened came flooding in. No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't pinpoint the reason Steve broke up with her. A tear dropped from her eyes as she cherished the times she spent with him, either way, nothing could be done anymore, he asked for it and she was going to make him regret leaving her. Mirabel stood up from her bed and walked to the bathroom, but then she suddenly realized something which made her stop in her steps. How could she not have realized earlier, these weren't her clothes!! She was wearing pajamas that were not hers, how could she not have realized earlier?

    "After the incident with Steve..." Mirabel explained to Arabella, how she walked down the streets under the heavy rain and ended up losing consciousness. "Do you want to kill yourself for a guy" Arabella shouted at her, "Do you want to end up dying cause of cold" she continued scolding her, it was obvious that she was beyond angry right now. Mirabel looked at her, she couldn't do or say anything, she realized she was wrong, she shouldn't have tried that no matter how broken she was. "You can scold me later on but please let me finish my story," Mirabel said and Arabella finally calmed down. Mirabel continued from how she woke up and found herself in someone's house, and also everything that transpired with her and the man, she didn't forget to mention the part where she foolishly promised to pay back by telling him she owes him. Arabella held her head, she could feel a headache coming in, everything was so complicated, Oh God. "So... What are you going to do now?" Arabella asked,

    Steve went home straight from the restaurant, he was beyond devastated, he regretted every single thing, he really should have been careful. In a dimly lit room, slight sobs could be heard resounding through all the corners. The strong scent of alcohol traveled across the room. He sat down looking broken on the floor, he regretted everything, and he wished he could turn back time. "Mira, I love..." He didn't complete his sentence before he suddenly stopped "What the h*ll have I done??"

    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.

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

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
