The Devil behind me Chapter 82
NEXT DAY*** The filming crew was getting ready to enter the bus which would take them all to the ground for acting today. Mirabel stood with her back on the bus and her phone in her hands as she waited for them to enter gently. A few minutes later it was her turn to get in when suddenly a car drove into the gates of the hotel, the driver pressed the horn of the car so loud that it drew the attention of the crew members who were yet to enter the bus. Mirabel creased her brows as she checked in that direction and saw the red range rover, she knew who owns that car, Leon. But what was he doing here? Her thoughts were clouded with questions that she didn't realize when he came down from the car and walked up to her. "Thank goodness I arrived early," he said to her, flashing her his beautiful morning smile. "Why are you here? thought you would meet us at the market?" Mirabel asked because today's scene would be played in a market. "I came to pick you up," he said. And immediately got

Days ran into weeks and finally, the end of the month approached, Catherine walked into Steve's company majestically, her hair cascading down with pride and her low heels making sounds on the floor. "Good afternoon, ma'am" an employee greeted her and Catherine nodded in response. This was the type of life she wanted and wished for, whereby she would have people see her and address her with respect, and the only way this could happen is if she makes it into the Jim family. Catherine arrived at a door, opened it, and walked inside. Steve was there, standing close to the window as he stared outside. On hearing the door open and the sound of shoes that approached him, he turned around, and his gaze landed on Catherine who was looking at him with a smile. "Steveee," Catherine said and tried to hug Steve but he ignored her acting like he didn't know as he walked from there and went to sit down on his office chair. Catherine cleared her throat before she sat down on the couch "What are yo

****** Axel sat down in his office and suddenly received a call from his grandfather who requested he comes home immediately. He stood up from his swiveling chair and walked towards the door to head to Stuart's mansion, but before he could open the door, a knock was heard from outside. Moving back a little bit, he opened the door and came face to face with Marcel. Axel didn't stop so he walked past his assistant. Marcel took that as a hint that he should follow him. "What's it?" Axel asked as they arrived at the parking lot before he could enter the car. "We submitted the papers to Jim's mansion earlier today," Marcel said reminding his boss of the assignment he had given them. "Good. What's my schedule like later on?" Axel inquired. Marcel checked the time on his wristwatch, it was 4:00 PM already "Dinner with Mr. Angelo around 8 PM. Meeting with RAIZ, a small-scale company that wants to be sold, and then your Flight to Country D around 10:00 PM" Marcel said in one go without st

Axel arrived at the Stuart mansion, he walked inside and went upstairs straight to his grandfather's room. He gave a slight knock as he stood outside the door. "Come in, Axel" the old man uttered from inside as he already knew who was there. Axel opened the door and walked into the study room, he saw his grandfather standing close to the window as he stared outside. Before he could say a thing, Old Master Stuart uttered, breaking the silence "Where's Mirabel?" "She traveled to ARION for filming" replied Axel, he stood inches away from his grandfather, his two hands in his pocket. The old man took a deep breath as if what he was about to say would weigh a lot. And it did "We might have to cancel your wedding with her" he suddenly said out of the blue. A date has been set already but he just realized something which might cause harm in the future, and this made him doubt whether a marriage should still be held for the two or not. Axel's gaze narrowed as he faced his grandfather "Wh

****** Arabella walked toward the exit of the airport as she had just returned, she had been on a trip with her co-flight attendants for the past few weeks but they all returned today. With her bag hung on her shoulders and her little box which she rolled effortlessly on the floor, her phone was in her hands as she was making a call. "Yeah, you have to ask Maddy about that, she informed me that she would report back to the other station today," Arabella said to the other person with whom her call was connected. Arabella halted in her steps as if thinking about something. "I'll make a call to her then, to make things easier" Arabella uttered "Nah, no need. You are welcome. Ok then, bye" she said before she finally disconnected the call. She walked outside the airport and stood there waiting for a taxi, she wasn't sure where she should head to now. Whether her apartment or she should go straight to her mom. After a few minutes of contemplating, she decided to go to her apartment fi

Days went by and weeks ran out, and it was finally the last day of filming, it was on the 19th of the month already. Mirabel and the crew members were getting ready to shoot the last scene which involved the burying of Lady Penelope and Patricia. Mirabel sat down on a chair glancing around the place as they all waited for the director's voice to commence. "I feel like this filming ended too fast, I didn't even enjoy myself that much" Mirabel heard Leon utter from nowhere as he came to stand by her side. Hearing his words, she rose her head to the side and rolled her eyes at him, to her, the shooting for this movie felt like it took too much time "No comment on that" she said to Leon and turned her gaze elsewhere. It landed on senior Ace. As usual, he sat down alone far from the others 'Seems like he has no friends and also hates noise' Mirabel thought because for the past few weeks, they'd all spent together, she noticed that he always liked staying alone far from others and she h

Mirabel who was sleeping soundly in her hotel room was suddenly woken up by the disturbing sound from her phone as someone was calling repeatedly. She groggily picked up the phone from the bedside table and answered without checking who was calling. "Hello?" "I reserved a seat for you, aren't you coming again?" Leon's voice resounded from the other end of the call. It was at this moment that Mirabel realized she had been sleeping for hours as the time was already 9:46 PM. "Umm, when is it finishing?" asked Mirabel as she stood up from the bed with the phone to her ear. "Probably by ten" Leon answered. "Oh, well then, there is no need for me to come again" she reasoned with him. "The Director inquired about you earlier " Leon informed. "Just tell them I'm sick and can't make it" "Ok, will do. Goodbye," Leon said before the call ended. Mirabel was still tired, so she dropped her phone on the table and lay back on the bed, slowly dozing off. ******* NEXT DAY, MORNING All the
The Devil behind me Chapter 89
In a silent dark room, Mirabel who had been sleeping for hours finally opened her eyes, "Mmh mmh" she made mumbling sounds as she woke up in an unfamiliar place, her mouth was tied to not enable her from screaming for help. This wasn't the hotel room, so where is this? She was tied to a pole and was standing on her feet which were also tightened. Her panic breathing increased as she looked around the room but couldn't see a thing. Mirabel felt like crying, where was she? the last she remembered was laying back on the bed to sleep but wait a minute... Mirabel closed her eyes as she tried to remember what had transpired last. ****EARLIER*** She had woken up to the sound she was hearing in her hotel room, but when she stood up from the bed to check what it was, someone came out of nowhere, covered her nose with strong arms, and gripped her hard, she tried to escape from the tight grip but no, she was too weak for the person. She was held tightly behind her back, she couldn't make an

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
