"You don't have to," he said as he released my hands from his grip. " Get used to sleeping in the same room with me" I heard him say, I was raging inside, I felt like knocking down his head. How hard was it to just explain to me so I can understand? He always gives me incomplete sentences. "Why should I? Do I need to, and must it be in the same room?" I asked all my questions in one go. "There are a lot of reasons why you should get used to it, dear," he said with a smug smile before he continued "Have I answered your question?" he asked me with a smirk that I badly wanted to pull off from his face. "What the hell? .. can't you just act normal at least once, of course, you haven't answered my question. All you've done is confuse me more. Can you just not be so insane" I asked him loudly, I was already furious at him, which led to me pouring out my heart... I regretted my words when I saw his lips suddenly curve up into a smile "Insane you say?" I heard him ask as he took a step c

"Oh Mira, why do you keep on embarrassing the shit out of yourself in his presence," I said almost in a whisper before making my way to the bathroom. I need to be fast so I can arrive at work early. Axel's POV I sniffed in a breath of air as I walked into my study, and closed my eyes, standing in a spot. I stood there for a few minutes before I finally moved and made my way to the bathroom in the study. "Mira..." I called out her name, barely in a whisper, geez now I needed a cold shower this morning. With every passing minute I spend with her, and every single time we are close by just a few inches is becoming more of a torture for me, I badly wanted to kiss those lips intensely, have her body close to mine with her legs wrapped around me. My breath hitched with just the thought of it.***** Mirabel's POV I spent about twenty to thirty minutes in the bathroom before I came out with a towel wrapped around me, from my chest down to my knees. I walked to the closet where he said

Different dishes were made and were set at the dining table to welcome the STUART'S. "It's good to be home once again" The Old master's voice could be heard as he sat in his garden, which was glorified with pure nature, from the tall fruit trees, down to the different flowers planted around the place, the colors of the flowers adding to the beauty of the garden. Yellow bright Peonies, striking sunflowers, deep red surfina blooms, daffodils, lilies, roses, and tulips could be seen, and other flowers were arranged around the garden, the sight was magnificent.

******"There was a change of plan, so you can come over with your family on Saturday, it's going to be a grand welcome home party for friends and family," Vince, Axel's father sat down on the bed in his room as he spoke with someone on the phone. "Ok, that's good, my daughter would arrive home by Friday," the person on the other line of the call said, Vince was on a call with Mr. Scott. "Axel would surely come over that day, the children would meet up and know each other more, then making plans for their marriage might become easier if my father sees them together," Mr. Stuart said in certainty.

Mirabel woke up early the next morning as she felt the taunt muscles her hands lay on. Axel lay straight on the bed with his back to it, while she had her hands on his chest and one of her legs on top of his. The same position she woke up in yesterday. 'How can you be such a heavy sleeper, Mirabel' she scolded inwardly. She gently removed her hands from his chest and moved her legs from his, he was still asleep so she sat still on the bed admiring the godly figure that was sleeping. His chiseled jaws showed off his masculine face and his eyes were closed shut, his nose, his lips, down to his Adam's apple. Mirabel moved her gaze to his chest, he wore pajamas, but the first two buttons were opened, why is he so perfect? She moved her gaze back to his eyes and 'OH LORD' his deep dark eyes were now opened, staring fixedly at her, but they looked different, more like it was hiding a shade of hunger, intense yearning. Mirabel smiled nervously, "Good mor..." She didn't complete her state

"Welcome back home, Young miss," the man said as he greeted her with a bow. Sofia glanced at the chauffeur but said nothing as she wiggled her way to the car, the chauffeur immediately opened the door for her and she got in.***

*****SATURDAY** Mirabel woke up late the next morning. She turned around the bed and noticed how empty it was, her eyes shot open as she glanced at Axel's side of the bed... He wasn't there. She gazed around the room before her eyes settled on the couch. He sat there, typing on his laptop. 'Did he sleep at all?' Mirabel questioned herself inwardly. She cleared up her throat "Good morning" she said. Axel looked up from his laptop and glanced at Mirabel "It's starting late around four." Axel was referring to the occasion at the main mansion. "Where's your ring?" he asked her. Mirabel who sat on the bed subconsciously glanced at her finger, before she looked back at Axel "It's in my purse" she responded and received a nod from Axel. Since there was time, then she could sleep some more, Mirabel thought as she lay back on the bed "I'm still feeling sleepy" she said groggily and hugged her pillow. After some minutes, she seemed to have entered into a deep slumber already. Axel who was

*** AROUND 2:00 PM, SATURDAY*** Mirabel stood facing the mirror in the bedroom, she was trying to zip the dress but it was difficult for her. "Oh, lord... I did this yesterday, why isn't it zipping right now" she said in frustration, she has been trying to zip it up for nearly ten minutes now. The time wasn't by their side now, according to Axel, they would have to leave for Stuart's mansion early, so she can meet his family before the guests arrive. She tried once more but to no avail, out of anger she gave up and threw herself on the bed... "It isn't zipping up," she said in a grumbled tone. The door to the bedroom was opened and Axel walked in, looking all magnificent, he wore a dim ash-tailored suit with a coat covering it. As he walked into the room, he saw her laying tirelessly on the bed "We are running late already" Axel said in a stern tone. "I know, I've been trying to zip up my dress but it isn't zipping," Mirabel said in a pissed voice "Can you please call a maid for
