It was 3:23 AM on Saturday, Axel lay down on the bed with his gaze on the ceiling and his hands still wrapped around Mirabel, he couldn't sleep cause he had a lot on his mind and also because of his insomnia.

After a few minutes he gently moved his hands from Mirabel without waking her up, he stood up from the bed, making sure she was covered with the duvet before he headed out of the room.

Axel went into the study room inside the villa, he sat down on the chair, bringing out his phone to make a call. The call was answered on the second ring.

"Hello, boss" Dave's voice echoed from the other end of the call.

"How far have you gone on it?" Axel asked going straight to the reason he had called.

"Sir, we found out about something which seemed suspicious. It appeared that the driver of the car which had clashed with the young madam's parents' car is still alive" Dave released a tip of info they've gotten.

Axel took a deep breath, his eyes darkening a little as he heard the information

    ***SCOTT'S MANSION** Sofia was inside her bedroom raging as she was on a call with someone "I gave you guys a very simple assignment and yet you couldn't complete it, what makes you think I'll give you the remaining payment when your job isn't complete yet and that too when your second was caught" she said in anger. "I can complete it if you still want, young woman but you have to understand that it would take time," the man on the other side said in a pissed tone also, he was trying to run for his life and here this client was pouring out her anger on him. Hearing his words, Sofia paused for a little before she said "I'll pay you the money, but I don't need your service again cause I can't trust you any longer. So, recommend someone else for me" She said trying to make a wise bargain. "And no matter what, even if you end up getting caught like your friend you better not mention my name" she let out as a thought hit her. The last thing she wanted was for Axel to find out she had a

    "I should be asking you that question, not you. What are you going here Charlotte" Desmond asked as he dropped the glass he was holding on the tray of the waiter that passed. Before giving him an answer which was stuck to her throat, Charlotte looked down at her red shirt which he had mistakenly spilled a drink on, it wasn't that visible and it was only a little of his drink that had splashed on her "Give me a minute, I'll be right back" she said and went in the direction of the washroom. She washed her hands and then her face before taking a napkin, soaking it a little, and wiping off the drink from her shirt. A few minutes later, she walked out and went back to meet Desmond who was still standing in the same position she had left him. Charlotte looked at her long-time friend from childhood, it's been six years since she last saw him because his family had moved out of the city, and of all places, they could clash with each other, it ended up being at a bar. His blonde hair was r

    "Huh?" Charlotte looked at him in surprise, what did he mean by they weren't ending with just a sorry? "I said I'm sorry, it was a mistake and not intentional, I almost fell to the floor that's why the drink splashed on you," She said again, trying to make him understand, but unfortunately for her Troy chose to be petty today because of his shirt. "Hey! It might not be your fault but still, my shirt was splashed with the drink because of you," Troy said to her with a glare that showed how pissed he was. "Yeah, because of me but it was a mistake. Not like I'll intentionally trip on my steps so I can splash my drink on someone. This is not my fault" Charlotte said staring straight back at Troy. "Are you sure it isn't?" Troy said as his gaze traveled down to the heels she wore. Charlotte's looked down at the direction his gaze was on and DAMNIT! she seethed. She was wearing high heels today, which means this action was partly her fault. Looking back up again, she saw him staring at h

    *****ARION**** Mirabel spent her whole time in the room ever since Axel left the house, he returned like two hours ago but he seemed busy as he didn't enter the room ever since. Taking a deep breath, Mirabel stood up from the bed to head out of the room but the door was suddenly opened from outside and Axel walked in. He walked into the room with a package, something like a box, his eyes landed on Mirabel who stood staring at him. Axel closed the door and walked into the room. "We are going out in the next hour, get ready," he said before he dropped the box on the bed. "Okay," Mirabel answered. "Wear the dress and heels on the box. When you are through meet me outside. I'll be waiting" WOAH! Mirabel was a little bit surprised and she was trying hard to not show it, so she nodded. Axel left the room after telling her what to do but Mirabel still stood there star-struck for some minutes, she wasn't blind to not see this extremely sweet side of Axel that she never knew. Was this a

    Mirabel looked around the beautifully decorated restaurant, deem and not bright lights were used to surround the place, everything looked like a romantic setting, 'when did he have the time to plan all this?' she thought in her head. Ohh! And also, the red roses and candlelights on the table. Everything was made to match each other, red? wasn't that to symbolize... love? Mirabel thought. And not to mention, they were alone in the whole place, she went back to eating her food as her gaze landed on the man who sat across her on the table eating ever so elegantly. Axel suddenly looked up and smiled at her pulling Mirabel out of her reverie as she wasn't yet used to having him smile genuinely and not a smirk which he always pulled on his lips. A few minutes later, Mirabel suddenly broke off the looming silence as she asked the most stupid question she could think of "Um... why are we here?" she questioned, was it just to eat? Axel looked up "It's still not obvious enough?" he asked he

    Several minutes later, they arrived back at the villa, Mirabel didn't want to come down from the car so Axel had to carry her princess way to their room. Mirabel wasn't sleeping yet but the alcohol's effect was taking a huge toll on her. She didn't say a thing until they arrived at the room. "I'm hungry," she suddenly said as Axel dropped her on the bed. Axel looked at her, she had eaten in the restaurant but now she was hungry. "What do you want to eat?" he asked her. Mirabel scrunched her face as if she was thinking hard about what to eat "I want pasta" she said as her eyes sparkled. Axel didn't say anything for a while, he removed his suit and then tie "Ok, wait for a while I'll bring it for you" he said as he removed three buttons from his white shirt, leaving his chest bare. Mirabel's eyes were on him throughout the time, she suddenly wanted to rub her hands on his chest as she saw the view. Axel turned around to leave the room but abruptly came to a halt as she called out t

    Mirabel turned and tossed around the bed when she woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache "Arrrgh" she yelped at the sharp ache. She lay down on the bed, not moving at all as she tried to calm her nerves, it took her a while before she opened her eyes. With her hands in her throbbing head, she sat down on the bed and looked around, she glanced at Axel's side of the bed and as usual, he had gotten up already but he wasn't in the room. Mirabel gently dropped her feet to the floor and tried to remove the duvet used to cover her, it was at this moment she realized that she was wearing something that wasn't hers. Axel's shirt? how come?' she wondered and tried to think back at what might have happened yesterday but the more she tried, the harder her head throbbed in pain. The last thing she remembered was when they were at the restaurant and she had finished the bottle of wine, but that was all... The remaining story wasn't vivid to her. But wait... After the time at the rest

    It took him a while before he could get the right words to say "I said nothing serious transpired" he uttered to her "You called that not serious? me running like a crazy woman in outer space isn't serious?" "No, we were alone so that's not serious," he said immediately. "Still, I embarrassed myself in front of you" she spoke out, a frown pretty obvious on her face. "No you didn't, I didn't mind at all," Axel said to make her calm down. Mirabel became mute as she heard his sincere words. They both stood there staring at each other and not saying a thing when suddenly Mirabel cut the silence as she said something again "What about last night after returning home? what I did wasn't crazy?" Mirabel looked at him and mumbled to his hearing. Remembering their almost steamy night Axel shook his head in response "No, It wasn't crazy at all" he said, well apart from the part she left him on his tip and went to sleep every other thing was okay. Mirabel nodded her head as she thought de

  • 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
