The Devil behind me Chapter 55
***** Axel left the house a while ago to meet up with Marcel at the office, they had some issues that he had to fix before he travels out for his business trip. 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. Axel walked toward the flower garden with his usual cool demeanor, and finally, she was there, but everything took a drastic change as his face became dark when he saw Martins with her there, and that too holding her hands. "LET HER GO!" Axel's loud voice thundered which made Mirabel and Martins look in that

****MONDAY** Mirabel decided to drop off from the car and go straight to her workplace, Gold Fox, on their way back. The car finally came to a halt when it reached her destination, Mirabel cleared her throat and glanced at Axel who wasn't saying anything ever since. "I guess this is where we say our goodbyes, I'm going to my house after work," she said. "Come back to my house," Axel said to her without sparing her a stare, his words shocked Mirabel, come back to his house? for what? was there still a need for that? she wondered "No reasons?" she asked as she saw that he didn't look like he'll say anything further. "My family can visit anytime, and I'll leave for a business trip tomorrow," Axel said in his deep voice. Mirabel didn't move an inch, that was probably the second time he had said something this long to her "Umm ok" she said with a nod, well at least he wouldn't be around. She was okay with what he said until she suddenly heard "You might have to stay for the next fe

Huh? Troy? what was he doing here?' Mirabel wondered as she saw him standing a few inches away. After his grandfather's strict punishment, Troy decided to come to work today, not like he had another choice though. Staying alone in an office was boring him, so he decided to check out the new actors and actresses. As he stood at the door with Mrs. Jennie beside him, his gaze traveled around the new faces. A smile crept on his face "Hmm, good. I'm seeing a lot of beautiful faces here" he said to Mrs. Jennie "Oh, and handsome faces, also" he added. He didn't seem to have seen Mirabel, who was currently hiding behind Charlotte's back, with her gaze down, so that he doesn't see her. "Ok then" she heard Troy's voice as he made a turn and walked out of the hall. "Phew" Mirabel couldn't help but breathe out as he left, she sat down on her chair. "Hey, what's up with you?" Charlotte asked as she noticed how Mirabel had panicked a while ago. "Nothing really, I'm good. Umm, wait... is that

"You don't believe me?" Steve asked because of the look she was giving him right now. "Huh? I believe. So, your parents said you have to marry her for the reputation of the family?" Mirabel inquired, she could already deduce what might have happened after. "Yes. I'm so sorry Mirabel" Steve said with an apologetic look. "Well then" Mirabel stood up from her seat "Congratulations on your marriage, I hope you have a blissful life ahead with your wife and kid," Mirabel said sarcastically. "Umm, are you okay with it? like you have no problem" Steve asked, he was expecting her to at least look hurt a little so that he'll know she wasn't fine, and that she was still in love with him. "Of course, I'm okay, ohh... I forgot to mention, I'll also be getting married, in the next two months," Mirabel said and rose her hand to indicate the two months, also showing off her engagement ring, which didn't go unnoticed by Steve. "You are getting married?" Steve asked in shock, the news came as a su

"Hm?" Axel raised a brow in confusion when he heard her words, wasn't she the one refusing strongly at first, then why the sudden change of plans? "Let's get married," Mirabel said once again because she thought Axel didn't hear her at first. "You are sure?" Axel inquired still standing, with his gaze on Mirabel's "Yes, I'm sure," Mirabel said in certainty, honestly she doesn't know why she suddenly made such a decision but hearing the news about Steve's marriage earlier was part of the things that pushed her into this. She wanted to move on and forget about him already, and the only way she could do that was to give herself to the man standing in front of her right now. "You won't change your decision later on?" Axel asked "Yes, I won't," Mirabel said in determination. "I didn't plan on canceling it at first," Axel said to Mirabel before he went into the walk-in closet to change into his pajamas. Mirabel was left dumbstruck when she heard what he said. 'He didn't plan on canc

SCOTT'S MANSION**** "If he isn't around, isn't this the right time to strike at them?" Mrs. Scott asked her husband as they sat down in the sitting room with their daughter discussing. The news about Axel's departure to another country for business arrived to them today by Mr. Vince Stuart who was also trying methods to remove Mirabel from the picture and fit Sofia into the picture. "No, he just left today, if we do something now it would seem suspicious," Mr. Scott said in a grim tone to his wife. "Then, what are we going to do, Dad?" Sofia asked worriedly. Mr. Scott glanced at his daughter, he took a deep breath and sigh before he uttered "We would have to clear her from the picture, no matter what," Mr. Scott said sternly. This method seems to be the easiest way to the Scotts, but is it really the easiest? "Dad, which country did he go to? I have something in mind right now" Sofia said with her eyes sparkling out something mischievous. "You'll have to hold on to whatever you h

Little young Mirabel could be seen walking around the corridors of a place, presumably a hospital, she moved from one door to the other in search of a room. After a long walk, she paused on her steps as she reached a certain door that read ROOM 25A. She could hear voices from inside, more like whispers, Mirabel peeped through the glass window where she could see someone from inside. Her eyes landed on a figure that sat down on the bed, with his back against her, so she couldn't see his face clearly. The other person wasn't in her line of sight, but she knew that there were two people in there. "If you keep this up, you'll end up dying. You know well about your condition but you are being adamantly stubborn" Mirabel heard a voice from inside, which seemed to be reprimanding someone. She had only come here because the stranger said Room 25A, and she was curious about what he wanted to say to her "If death wishes to come by easier, I'll humbly accept it" the familiar voice of the pers

STUART'S MANSION** "Father, there is no need to rush up the marriage, why did you choose the next two months for them?" Vince Stuart asked as he sat down with Old Master Stuart in his study room. The study was silent for a few minutes before the old master rose his head up from the newspaper he was reading "Have you confronted the Scotts? that Axel wouldn't marry their daughter cause he already has a fiancee which he would get married too soon?" the old master answered Vince with a question. "Father, you know that isn't what I'm talking about, there's no need to rush them, that's all I'm saying," Vince said in a calm tone trying to convince his father. "That isn't what you are talking about but that is what I want to talk about. And if you have no positive answer to my question then leave my study right away" the old master said firmly. Vince gazed at his father, he took a deep breath and opened up "I am Axel's father, I have the right to make decisions for him. And I'll keep on s

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
