The Devil behind me Chapter 98
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

Feeling their body so close together made Mirabel's inside stir, it seemed like his chest was bare, closing her eyes she inhaled the scent of an shower that was coming from him "I had to take my bath" she said. "I thought you weren't coming" she murmured and turned around to face him as Axel moved his head from her shoulder. They now faced each other with his height towering over hers. And Mirabel was right, his chest was indeed bare, and he only wore aqua shorts. "Why wouldn't I?" Axel asked her with a slightly raised brow. "Cause you were busy" Mirabel reasoned and uttered to him. "Not busy to skip spending time with you" Axel muttered with a smile before he released her as he could feel his nose itch him like he wanted to sneeze. He wouldn't be able to fit himself into the water cause he still had a cough, he was just here to watch her. Mirabel's lip's pulled into a loving smile as she heard what he said. Axel's gaze traveled down a little and rested on her chest, his gaze lin

His words made Mirabel's heart make a triple skip, and that's when she realized they never used protection for the first time. Mirabel became momentarily lost for seconds but jerked back to her senses when she heard sounds like Axel getting up from the bed. "Sorry for my mistake," he said and scratched his dark hair as he tried to get up, and for the first time since they met Mirabel saw a lost look on his face. "I don't mind" Mirabel muttered almost in a whisper but Axel heard her clearly, he looked In her direction and silence ensued in the room for a few seconds as they only stared at each other. Axel could not explain exactly how he felt right now. He climbed back on the bed and it didn't take a millisecond before their lips met once again, not gentle anymore but rather rough as they desired each other. "Thank you, Mira" Axel mumbled on her lips as they kissed, he gently pushed her to the bed and she lowered herself as she succumbed to the kiss. Mirabel had her eyes closed wh

COUNTRY B*** "If they choose to play stubborn, then do what you have to do but this time around, no harm must come to Mirabel. We don't have to harm Daniella's daughter. The accident that killed her was a mistake" A deep autocratic voice uttered in a dark large room filled with books. "We understand your point Mr. Samael, but to do this you would need to tell your daughter, Quinn to back off from this" A you man who looked to be in his early thirties muttered. His name was Evan, he was one of the clan's most trusted members. Mr. Samael released a deep breath as if to show his frustration, he was the last fourth-generation descendant of the clan. Samael was Daniella's brother, He was a man of agility and well respected by the clan ever since five years ago when he took over after his father's death. He was in his late fifties and he had grown white hairs as he appeared to be aging through the years. "Call Quinn for me on your way out" he ordered. Evan bowed to him before he made hi

***ARION After a long night, morning finally came, Mirabel walked out of the room with her bag in her hand, they were leaving today, this morning, and she was already prepared. They had their breakfast already and Axel was waiting for her outside the villa, they would leave in his private jet which would take off a few minutes from now. Mirabel walked out of the villa and saw Axel outside conversing with his assistant, Marcel, who stood beside him. Hearing the footsteps, Axel looked up and glanced at where Mirabel now stood, he walked up to her with a smile on his face which Mirabel wasn't still used to, but anyways, she smiled back. "We would come back another time but for now we need to return," said Axel, and Mirabel nodded to him. In all honesty, she would have loved it if they could stay back for a while but that was nearly impossible as they have other things to do. The last two days were like a full long week to her and she wished it could last longer. "I'm going out. Mar

COUNTRY B**** Quinn stood with her deep-rooted gaze on Evan like they were in a face-off as she glared at him in annoyance. She was tired of this man always helping her out or watching out for her whenever she goes on a mission. This wasn't the first time he was doing this and she was sure it wouldn't be the last also. "Why are you here Evan? I told you I can do this on my own" Quinn seethed in rage as she stood with crossed arms glaring at the man who had his back resting on his black flashy car. Evan's ash long hair swayed with the wind, right now they were outside the borders of Reaper's territory, he heard about Quinn's mission and decided to follow her, because he was worried, although he knew she could do it on her own. "Let's just get to work and leave here early, Quinn" he muttered in a calm voice as he glanced at the woman who stood a few feets away fuming "I'm not going to explain anything or argue with you, we have a work to finish off", Evan said as he wiped off the dus

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
