The Devil behind me Chapter 4
"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,
The Devil behind me Chapter 5
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??" He sat down looking devastated and shattered, he was growing insane, regretting what happened, everything that happened... The young man sat down on the floor and tried to remember how it all started. **** Two months earlier~~ He was meant to sign a business deal with a company but to his surprise, his secretary informed him they were signing the business deal in a private room at a night bar. Steve was the CEO of a company that was passed down to him as the eldest son of the Jim family. Arou

On a bright Monday morning in a luxurious office room, painted with dark and gray colors, books are neatly arranged on shelves. The office was quiet, you could only hear the clicking of the keyboard but it suddenly went silent. He sat there with an aura of superiority hovering over him. Axel brought out a file and opened it, his facial expression changed when he saw the contents of the file. He brought out his phone and dialed a number. Knock knock~~ There was a knock on the door. "Come in," Axel said. A young-looking man walked in panting, Marcel ran to the office immediately after he saw the call. "Sir," he said, Axel didn't raise his head from the file when Marcel came in, but then he suddenly looked up. Marcel was Axel's assistant. Marcel's breath hitched when Axel looked at him, although this wasn't the first time, he could never get used to his boss's glare. Axel Stuart was the CEO of IMPERIAL, a company that has been doing well for years and is one of the wealthy compani

Mirabel's POV I woke up in the middle of an unfamiliar room, lying on the cold floor. I sat up and looked around nervously, I looked around but couldn't find a single soul with me. I stayed in the same uncomfortable position for some time, looking around the strange room in a panic I didn't know what to do. I tried to move but realized that my hands and feet were tied. Thoughts of what happened came rushing in, I remembered her nose being covered with a cloth from behind. Mirabel looked around once again, 'Where am I?' Her thoughts were interrupted when the door was suddenly opened, a man walked in with two other men trailing behind him. Mirabel couldn't see their faces clearly, but she knew they were no good guys, she tried to think hard if she wronged anyone recently, but no, she didn't, then why was she kidnapped? The first man came close to her and squatted in front of her. "Tsk... You are a beautiful lady, indeed" the first man said. "Who are you? Please let me go" Mirabel

The car arrived at the mansion, and Enoch came down immediately to open the door for his boss. Axel came down from the car with Mirabel in his arms and he walked inside the house. "Welcome back, Young master" Butler Luke greeted Axel, he nodded and went up straight to his room. He gently dropped the pale-skinned Mirabel on his bed. Axel went to the bathroom and came out with a bowl of water and a cloth, he cleaned her face, hands, and legs with the cloth. After cleaning her up, he covered her body with a comforter before he left the room. Axel went into his study room and sat on the study chair. A few minutes later a knock was heard on the door. Knock knock~~ "Come in," Axel said, Butler Luke came into the office and dropped the black coffee on Axel's desk. "Are you okay, Young master?" Butler Luke asked Axel, he has been living with Axel for years now, so he could tell something was not right. Seeing his Young master enter the house with a lady earlier, and also noticing his

John who was in another cell with one of the kidnappers, smirked when he heard the scream. Tony, the second man gasped in fear, he also heard the scream and he knew it was their leader. He trembled in fear, he was wondering if they were going to do the same thing to him, he regretted working on this mission to torture an innocent lady, if he had known... "Please spare me, I'll do whatever you want," Tony said already soaked with sweat, he didn't want to be tortured so badly, although they had been tortured together when they were brought here, at that time he was unwilling to talk, he couldn't say anything because of their leader. But now he cared less, this place had a thick smell of iron and blood, he would eventually say it now even if his boss was here. Tony has been mentally tortured already, he couldn't take it any longer. "Is that so? You would tell me?" John said gazing deeply at Tony, he could already see that this was the weakest of them all. "Thought there was a rule t

John walked into the last cell, where Matt was kept. Immediately he entered, Matt rose his head and stared at him. "Matt," John said walking into the cell with a smile. "Account number 1******7, account name Matt Cliff," Matt stated the account number that received the money, he didn't need to wait for a moment, he knew that's why he was there. John gazed deeply at Matt "I wasn't expecting you to tell me immediately I came in" John said. "I'm sure that's why you came, why should I wait for a while when I'll eventually be forced to say it," Matt said and breathed out. "Good good, good one," John said and paused "It's good to be wise," he said finishing his statement. John turned, he didn't need to spend much time here, so he turned around and left the room. Matt heaved a sigh, he gazed at the door, continuously without blinking an eye. After several minutes, the door was suddenly opened and Dave walked in. "Fast one fella..." Dave said with his usual trademark grin plastered on
The Devil behind me Chapter 11
Mirabel's POV: I opened my eyes feeling all lazy and tired, my eyelids were heavy and my thoughts were confusing. I recalled everything that happened, not knowing where I was or how I got here, I looked around the luxurious room... What happened? I asked myself, the last I remembered, I was being held back by two men trying to... My body shivered in fear and uneasiness recalling the scene, my hands flew to feel my cheeks which didn't hurt anymore from the slap, I suddenly gazed down at my clothes remembering what they tried to do. I looked down at my clothes which I was still donning, but I was completely covered with a comforter, realizing part of my skin was showing because of my torn clothes, I covered myself up immediately. Looking around the room still in a confused or rather dazed state, Where am I? I asked myself, my nose wafting in the pure scent of Eau de cologne around the room. My thoughts and head flew toward the door when I heard a slight clicking like someone was try

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
