The Devil behind me Chapter 62
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

Axel paced to his grandfather's room and gave a slight knock as he arrived at the door. "Yes, come in" the old master's voice rang out from inside. Axel opened the door and went into the study room. Old Master Stuart who seemed to have been reading rose his head up. "The pain keeps on becoming unbearable," Axel muttered as he made his way to the couch and sat on it. "Isn't that what you wanted from the beginning? You yearned for death right from the start" The old man said in a rigid tone. Axel pressed his lips together, the past was different from the present but his grandfather was the type to bring back old tears "That was what I had wanted, but not anymore, grandfather" he said in a solemn tone "Well... past actions still come around to haunt your future at times," Old Master Stuart said. Axel didn't say a word, he knew how right his grandfather was, he gave a loud sigh "The pills..." Axel started but paused as he saw the glare his grandfather was giving him "I overdosage a

"Did you miss me?" the oh-so-familiar voice uttered out "Huh? Leon? what are you doing here?" Mirabel asked a row of questions because of how shocked she was. This was the last person she would have ever expected to see in this place. "Hey, I asked a question first, shouldn't you at least give me a reply" Leon complained with his deep stares at her. "When did you ask a question?" Mirabel asked confusedly, she don't remember hearing a question from him. Leon face palmed himself as he heard her words "I said did you miss me?" he asked again. "Oh... is that the question? No, I didn't miss you" she mumbled to his hearing "Now answer my questions," Mirabel said. "Ouch... not even a little?" Leon asked with a slight hope in his eyes, but Mirabel shook her head negatively as a sign that she didn't. "I doubt you need answers to your question. Anyway, I'm off, I came here for a reason, that's all you should know for not missing me" Leon said and walked past her. "Huh?" Mirabel stood st

"So, where exactly are we heading to?" Charlotte asked Mirabel as they had been walking around since with no destination. "I thought you were taking me somewhere," Mirabel said with squinted brows. "And I thought the same," Charlotte said "Whatever, let's just return, I'm sure she should have left our seat by now," she said as she held Mirabel's hands to lead her to the RAAH. As they approached, Mirabel suddenly got a call from her manager and she had to divert to Ms. Rosie's office, while Charlotte decided to head to her manager's office also, so they parted ways. As Mirabel approached the door before she could enter, someone suddenly came from nowhere and tapped her shoulders "Hello" the voice said. "Leon, what is it again?" she asked as she recognized the voice. Mirabel turned around and her eyes met Leon's who was staring down at her "Ohh, I'm leaving already and I happened to see you over here so I decided to say goodbye," he said "Wait, you are taking me for a nuisance or w

******THE WILSON MANSION** The days flew by fast, and before you knew it, it was already Saturday around 5:00 PM. The dinner was set to start when it is six and the guests were yet to arrive. The mother and daughter were the only ones at home with the maids who had prepared the meals already. "Mom, you just told me to come home for dinner, you didn't say there would be guests invited also" Arabella shouted from her room before she walked out to the sitting room. "Must I tell you everything, and besides the visitors aren't much, just very few of them" Arabella's mother who was sitting down in the sitting room uttered. "Still... I don't even have a dress to don, can't you just skip me out of the dinner" Arabella said, trying to find ways that would make her mom lose interest In whatever meal they were going to have later. "Why would I even think of skipping you out, when the dinner is being held mainly because of you? Since you aren't ready to find and bring home a suitor, so you ca

"Welcome Stephen" she heard her mother say as the young man also walked in. "What in the world!"... Arabella muttered as her gaze met his, was he...? She couldn't even get her words complete any longer as she stood there, star-struck. " Momm..." she trailed as she came back to her senses and glanced in her mother's direction. "Are they?" Arabella asked and received a nod from her mother. "Yes, these are the guests I was talking about" She heard her mother say, Arabella came back to her senses and greeted them but her thoughts were going haywire and in turmoil "Good evening, sir, ma" she greeted respectfully with a forced smile. "Dad, I thought you said we were visiting a friend," Stephen asked in confusion after he had greeted. He was in his office yesterday when his father suddenly called him and told him to come home because they were visiting a friend the next day. His father didn't even say much about it before he ended the call, that was why Stephen wasn't suspicious of anyt

***SUNDAY, AT AXEL'S MANSION** Mirabel sat down in the sitting room, conversing with Arabella on a video call. Her day started with a video call from Arabella who was raging out ever since the call began. "Like, can you just imagine? how dare he tell me I'm not his type" Arabella spouted out In a temper. "Was his words really that bad? I think it's a normal thing to have a particular standard you admire in a girl" Mirabel said, trying to come to a resolution with Arabella's thoughts. "Yeah, it's normal. But how dare he? I'm everyone's type" Arabella said, still not ready to give in. "Oh geez... are you sure you are okay, Ara? his words hurt your pride to such an extent?" Mirabel was surprised at Arabella's burning rage, it wasn't quite something Arabella does. She was the type to care less about what people say about her, but here she was pouring out her whole temper early this morning. "I also don't know what's wrong with me, but whatever it is, I'm sure it won't allow this matt

**** Mirabel sat down on a couch in the study doing nothing, she has been sitting there for almost an hour now 'Did he call me in here to come and do nothing but stare at him?' she mumbled inwardly. Axel who has been busy with some files ever since had almost forgotten about her presence, he rose his head up from the files when he heard her clear her throat, probably to draw back his attention that she was still there. He had called her for a reason but he became occupied and had forgotten about it. Axel picked up his phone from the table and answered it as a call came in, the person from the other line of the call said something which resulted in Axel rubbing his hands on his forehead before opening his mouth to speak "Meet me in the basement" that was all he said before he ended the call. Axel stood up from the swiveling chair and glanced at Mirabel "We are heading out" he uttered as he walked to the door "Huh? Together? Where are we going to?" Mirabel asked a row of questions.

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
