The Devil behind me Chapter 72
****SCOTT MANSION** "Mom, Dad, I'm going out, I won't take long, I need to visit a friend" Sofia who was walking down the stairs uttered as she saw her parents in the sitting room. "You know you shouldn't be going out, right? you are still recuperating, can't you stay back and visit this friend tomorrow? or some other time?" Mrs. Scott inquired with a worried look on her face. "NO," Sofia said immediately, "it's not that far, so, no worries, I won't take long before I come back," said Sofia, to make her mom reason with her. "You can go, but make sure to arrive back home before the clock hits seven, I mean my words," Mr. Scott said sternly permitting his daughter to go. "Thanks, Dad, I'll be back home very soon, goodbye Mom" Sofia scurried her way out of the house after receiving the permission she wanted. She knew her parents were worried because of her health condition that's why she had to promise them that she would arrive back early. Sofia entered the red car which was for he

"It would be better if I don't even cross parts with him again, 'cause if I do..." Mirabel received a call from Arabella when she just arrived at Gold Fox early Monday morning. Arabella had called to inform her about her afternoon flight and that she wouldn't be in the country for the next two weeks. Their conversation ended up drifting to the topic of how Arabella's pride was marched on. "Are we still on this again, Ara?" Mirabel cut her short as she asked. She was in the RAAH preparing her things to go to the auditorium for acting. "Of course, we are still on this. Well, not till I get my sweet taste of revenge" Said Arabella from the other line of the call. "Hmm? I'll advice you to not go extreme with whatever plans you are brewing up" uttered Mirabel, walking out of the RAAH to head upstairs. "Yeah, yeah... I know. I just hope I don't cross parts with him again" muttered Arabella. "Later then..." Mirabel said before she hung up the call. She was focused on the screen of her p

Mirabel took her bag and headed out of the RAAH after work hours were over and the employees were leaving the company. On her way out she saw Charlotte heading in the same direction, walking back to the RAAH. "Aren't you leaving, yet?" asked Mirabel as they came to stand in front of each other. "I'll be out in a few minutes, I just have something I need to check on at the RAAH before I leave," Charlotte said and received a nod from Mirabel "So? How was the play? had fun?" Charlotte inquired, she was acting in a different movie so she wasn't to be included in the one Mirabel was acting on. "Yeah, it was okay," said Mirabel with a smile. "Good, mine is kind of tiring though. And oh, do you know Senior Ace is playing in the same movie as yours?" Charlotte questioned "Huh? No... I didn't know" Mirabel said with an oblivious look which made it obvious that she had no idea about it. "Oh, maybe it's because he hasn't attended any of the rehearsals that's why you don't know. I think he

Back in the company. "Fuck" Charlotte cursed under her breath when the call suddenly disconnected but she realized it was because of the network, she couldn't call back again as the problem was from her side. Charlotte used her torchlight to glance around the room, she meant it when she said she hated darkness. She had always been scared of staying alone in enclosed dark places right from when she was young, years back. She took a deep tiring breath, rested her back on the wall, and sat down on the floor. Her eyes glinted with something bitter, she wouldn't have stayed back if it wasn't because of her family back at home. Charlotte was the daughter of a publicly known rich man of country A. Charlotte had lost her mother years back in an accident, the incident had left a scar on young Charlotte as she had witnessed the scene. Her mother's car had clashed with another car with a man and woman in it. She would have died on the spot also, but her mother had shielded her by covering he

Around midnight, after long hours of waiting, the rain finally settled into a drizzle. Charlotte was now seated on a chair with a stranger whom she still knew nothing about along the corridors. She stood up, with her small bag hung up on her shoulders "I think I'll take my leave now" she uttered Troy glanced at the lady, they didn't really say anything much to each other, he had been playing games on his phone and noticed that she dozed off a while ago but seemed to wake up several minutes after as she now stood on her feet, ready to leave. Troy stood up also "Okay, the rain has settled already" "Yeah, thanks for keeping me company," she said in utter appreciation, even though he hadn't said a thing during the period, it was still nice to have someone around and not stay alone. "Don't mention" "Aren't you leaving, also?" Charlotte asked "I'll leave later, not now" "Ohh... ok then, bye," Charlotte said and turned around before she left, she walked out of the company and made h

Mirabel woke up very early on Friday, cause she had to arrive at Gold Fox early before traveling together with the team. She got up from the bed, glancing toward Axel's side of the bed, but he wasn't there. Mirabel stood up and went straight to the bathroom to take her bath, she brushed her teeth in haste before she showered up and walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her chest, the length reaching above her knees. She removed the towel that she had used in wrapping her hair. Her hair was damp because she had washed it, and the water droplets from her hair trailed down to her shoulder. Mirabel went straight to the mirror and blow-dried her hair with the hair dryer. She went into the closet and picked up a simple dress, a black long-sleeved top, and a pair of jeans and trousers, she didn't take long before dressing up. Mirabel wore her black long coat which reached below her knees, she took her handbag and a box that contained her clothes to wear for the next few w

At Gold Fox... Charlotte was sweating profusely as she searched around the company corridors for hours in finding her lost locket, she had been looking for it ever since she arrived at work today, she even came earlier than normal with the thoughts that it might be laying on the floor somewhere in the company. After hours of searching but to no avail, she slumped to the floor with her back to the wall as she didn't find it "Momm..." she whimpered. The locket was the last memory she had of her mother. After the death of her mother a few years back, when her father married her stepmom, she came into the house and dumped all her mother's belonging. Charlotte wasn't at home that day to stop Joanne, she arrived late, and by the time she came, all she saw was the ashes from her mother's belonging. She burned in rage but couldn't do anything as Joanne had the backing of her father, Mr. Kyle. Her stepmother had come up with the excuse that she didn't know the things were still useful and th

***STUART'S MANSION*** Troy stood in front of his grandfather who was studying the file he had brought home, nervousness, and sweat evident in Troy's eyes with the hope that his grandfather sees this as a good sign and unfreeze his account. "Good good, I'm impressed, keep it up. These are things you should spend more of your time on and not play around with your friends always, by partying at every chance you get" Old Master Stuart sat down with his glasses on as he read the document. "Now you can leave, bring more of this and I might consider pardoning you" Troy felt all his hopes shatter as he heard what his grandfather said. 'More of this?' he has spent his sweat, sleep, and time to make just one, and his grandfather wants him to bring more. "Grandfa..." "Shush, you can leave" Old Master Stuart dropped the document on the table and went back to the newspaper he had been reading before Troy came in. Troy didn't know what to do again, he picked up the document and walked out of

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
