The Devil behind me Chapter 48
Axel spent a few minutes in the bathroom before he came out, his hair was soaked wet. He seemed to have washed it while having his bath. He came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist while another towel was in his hands which he was using to wipe off the water from his hair. Water was dripping down his skin making him look hot and sexy. As Axel walked out of the bathroom, he saw Mirabel standing by the window side and looking outside, she seemed to be deeply concentrated on whatever she was seeing, cause didn't even turn around or move when she heard the sound of the bathroom door. Mirabel who was focused on the flower garden outside didn't budge at all, the view was so beautiful and she could see it from here, although it was nightfall already yet she could still see it because of the large lamps used in surrounding the garden, adding to Its night beauty. Mirabel's lips curved into a beautiful smile at the sight, she had always loved flowers to the extent that sh

"Who is she? and why is she here?" his loud voice rang out in the dining room. Oh Oh... Mirabel almost jerked up from her seat as she heard the loud voice, what in the world... why the sudden shout? "Oh... Dad. I forgot you weren't informed about it" Martins said with a cunning smirk directed in Axel's direction, but Axel wasn't even glancing at him as he kept on eating. "Informed about what?" Vince asked, he was having a bad feeling about all this which was why he suddenly shouted. He honestly didn't notice the lady sitting beside Axel when he came in because he walked into the dining hall earlier in a rush. Reina and Troy stopped eating as their gazes moved around. Mirabel wasn't eating also out of fear, but Axel and the old master kept on eating seemingly without care at the drama unfolding. "She is Axel's fiancee, didn't you know about it?" Martins asked, with his stare now at his father, who looked bewildered. "What? Fiancee? since when?" Vince asked in shock, the last thin

"Are you sure this would work?" Vince asked Martins after hearing out what he had to say. "Of course dad, I'm certain it would work, it won't hurt to try, Axel would be forced to accept Sofia even by grandfather, if and only if she is carrying an heir," Martins said in certainty as they still sat at the dining table together. "Hmm..." Vince said and rested his back on the chair he sat on. "Ok... what next?" he asked Martins who had a cunning smirk on his face******* Troy was on his way to his bedroom when suddenly he heard a voice from nowhere that almost made him jerk out of his wits. "The old master is requesting your presence" Butler Luke who came out of nowhere said. "Who? Me? What did I do, I was silent all through the dinner" Troy said in surprise, he didn't do anything wrong so why would grandfather request for him? "He didn't say, he just wants you in his study right away," Butler Luke said before walking away and heading to the study. Troy stood there for a while try

"I'm not your type?" he asked as they both tried to catch their breaths "I just... I just said so"... " You what?" Axel's deep voice asked as he released her hands which were bound together by him above her head, his hands went down and buttoned up her shirt for her with his head still resting on the shallow path of her neck. Mirabel's eyes were closed as she tried to catch her breath "I just said so out of frustration" She took a deep breath before she answered his question. "I'll think of a way out," Axel said as he got up from the bed before he strolled into the bathroom. Mirabel was left all alone In bed, she remembered what happened and she suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine. The way he had aggressively kissed her. She lay on the bed for a while before she got up and went to where the mirror in the bedroom stood, her shirt was already buttoned up, but she could see the hickey signs on her neck. 'Oh geez' she gazed at the love bites before walking to the bed and lying

He just left the hospital but decided to drop off at the hotel and check the lady from last night. He strode his way to the receptionist as he entered. He gave them the room number he checked in for her last night. "Sorry sir, the occupant of the room checked out last night," she said to him. "Huh? Checked out?" Stephen asked, clearly surprised "OK then..." he said before he walked out of the hotel and made his way to where his car was parked. "I guess she woke up after I left" They didn't have each other's number, so there was no way for him to communicate with her "I just hope we don't cross paths ever again" That was all Stephen said before he drove off.****** SCOTT'S MANSION~~ It felt like hell ju

*****STUART'S MANSION Mirabel woke up early, she looked around the room but couldn't find Axel, so she stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and rinse her face. She didn't take long in the bathroom before she walked out with a towel in her hands which she was using to wipe the water from her face. She packed her hair into a ponytail before she ambled her way out of the bedroom. As she went down the stairs, she saw Axel's mother walking in her direction. "Good morning ma'am," Mirabel said with the utmost respect. "Oh, good morning dear, I was heading to your room. Take your shower and come for breakfast" Reina said to Mirabel with a smile. "Ok, m..." Mirabel wanted to say but was cut short as she heard Axel's mother suddenly said "Just call me mother" Reina uttered in a gentle tone to her, she had already accepted the young lady for her son when she met her yesterday, that was how certain she was of her son's decision. "Ok Mother," Mirabel said befo

They finished their breakfast a while ago and the butler came to his room to tell him that his presence was requested by his grandfather. Troy has been standing here waiting for his grandfather who hadn't come to his study. He stood there for some minutes before the door to the study suddenly opened as the old man walked in. Troy turned around to face the door and his gaze met his grandfather's own "Grandfather..." Troy wanted to say but... " Shhh, don't grandfather me when you've made a mistake..." The old man said before he walked in and sat down on his chair "I don't intend to give you a heavy punishment, it is just something you would never forget" he said to Troy. Troy took in a deep breath as he thought to himself 'That isn't a good call at all The door was suddenly opened and Butler Luke came in. The old man glanced at him and said "So? When last did he go to work" He seeme

When he arrived back home, he went straight to his room but he didn't see her there nor did he hear any sounds from the bathroom, which would have indicated that she might be there. "Mirabel" he called out her name as he went into the walk-in closet to check if she was there but she was not, Axel came out of his room and went down the stairs, he checked the dining, but still no, she wasn't there. He went outside the house, there was one place where she could be, where he hadn't checked yet, and it was the flower garden.
