John walked into the last cell, where Matt was kept. Immediately he entered, Matt rose his head and stared at him. "Matt," John said walking into the cell with a smile. "Account number 1******7, account name Matt Cliff," Matt stated the account number that received the money, he didn't need to wait for a moment, he knew that's why he was there. John gazed deeply at Matt "I wasn't expecting you to tell me immediately I came in" John said. "I'm sure that's why you came, why should I wait for a while when I'll eventually be forced to say it," Matt said and breathed out. "Good good, good one," John said and paused "It's good to be wise," he said finishing his statement. John turned, he didn't need to spend much time here, so he turned around and left the room. Matt heaved a sigh, he gazed at the door, continuously without blinking an eye. After several minutes, the door was suddenly opened and Dave walked in. "Fast one fella..." Dave said with his usual trademark grin plastered on

Mirabel's POV: I opened my eyes feeling all lazy and tired, my eyelids were heavy and my thoughts were confusing. I recalled everything that happened, not knowing where I was or how I got here, I looked around the luxurious room... What happened? I asked myself, the last I remembered, I was being held back by two men trying to... My body shivered in fear and uneasiness recalling the scene, my hands flew to feel my cheeks which didn't hurt anymore from the slap, I suddenly gazed down at my clothes remembering what they tried to do. I looked down at my clothes which I was still donning, but I was completely covered with a comforter, realizing part of my skin was showing because of my torn clothes, I covered myself up immediately. Looking around the room still in a confused or rather dazed state, Where am I? I asked myself, my nose wafting in the pure scent of Eau de cologne around the room. My thoughts and head flew toward the door when I heard a slight clicking like someone was try

Axel's POV I sat still for a while after she went in, staring fixedly at the door that she went into. After a while, I heard the sound of water dropping, she turned the shower on. I stood up from the couch and walked towards the door, heading out. Walking down the stairs I saw Lucas, John, and Marcel who seemed to have been waiting for me for a while now. "Good evening, Boss" I heard them say in unison, I went up close to them and an envelope was stretched toward me by Marcel. I collected the envelope from him, walking to the couch I heard Marcel say. "It's a complete copy of the file, Sir" Nodding in satisfaction, I sat down and brought out a file that was inside the envelope. All my attention was on the papers in front of me as I read through the contents with deep concentration. "Catherine Hitler" I blurted out the name to which the profile belonged, after reading to a point, I stretched back the file to Marcel, who received it instantly and kept it on the small table. They

Axel's POV I stood by the window, looking outside at the scenery and breathing in the fresh air to calm my nerves, cause right now it was raging inside me. The fact that my position in the company was threatened annoyed me to the core. I tried to remember if I ever met any Sofia but I didn't remember. Although the name sounds familiar to me. At first, I had thought that their arrival would cause nothing but severe aches in my head but now I knew I was in a deep hell of shit. The door to the study suddenly creaked open, I turned my head to see who it was and I saw Stephen coming In with his usual trademark smile. "Hey bro, what's up," Stephen said as he walked up to me, I was in no mood for jokes or talk right now, so I still stood there looking out the window. "He called" I opened my mouth to speak, I didn't need to complete my statement, Stephen knew who I was referring to. "It's been a while since he called you direct, so I guess it's not good news on your side" I heard Steph

Axel's POV Stephen and I conversed for a while before he left in a rush, saying he had an appointment with a patient... I stood up from my chair and walked to the door, heading out of the study room. On my way to the room, I met Butler Luke who happened to be approaching the study room. "Dinner has been served, Young master," he said to me. "Ok, I'll be there," I said and headed toward the room. I creaked the door open and entered the room, beholding a sight I had never expected I'll see. My eyes met hers and staring deeply at her from head to her white creamy thighs which were obvious from the dress she wore, I couldn't help but gulp down hard FUCK! I ordered the maid to purchase some dresses earlier, but by then she was still asleep, I didn't look at the dresses before bringing them in. Taking slow steps closer to her, with my eyes still glued on her, my body was reacting strangely to the sight...***** Mirabel's POV My breath hitched when he walked toward me, what was hap

Mirabel's POV She barely knew him, so why would she be his girlfriend? "On second thought, I think it's a fiancee I need," he said still staring at me with a smirk. " I can't do either of those, Please give me a better option" I was fuming inside, what does he take me for?? "I do have another option" I heard him say, the smile on his face was no longer there. He stood up from his seat and walked to where I sat. "You want another option, right?" he asked looking down at me, and I nodded as a sign of response. He bent a little and whispered in my ear..."How about baring me a child, I seem to need one," he said to my ear and stood back straight. My eyes rounded in surprise at his words, and I shot an angry look at him, is he crazy? cause everything seems insane to me. "Are you nuts or what? What the hell do you take me for, Mister" I shouted at him angrily not caring about the maids who walked inside after leaving a while ago. The maids acted like nonexistent beings as they wa

"Which of the options are you going with?" I heard him ask pulling me out of my subconscious state. I looked at him, clearing my throat "I’ll go for the first option" I said to him. I saw his lips pull into a smile "Why not the second option?" he said. "Cause it was in no way an advantage to me," I said angrily. He chuckled slightly standing up from his seat, he walked up to me "You sure?" he asked with a taunting smile. "Let's go straight to the point, I've chosen an option, so what next?" I asked walking to a couch and sitting on it like I owned the place, I was deliberately testing his patience "Seven months...You'll be my fiancee for seven months, that's how long I'll need you" he said to me "Seven months? Just because you saved my life for a night" I asked him, this man was crazy!! "Should I add today's debt also?" he asked looking straight at me, I didn't quite get his words. "Huh?" "Saving your life for the second time, out of my busy schedule, you think I work as a

Mirabel's POV I kept on sobbing, with my arms wrapped around my best friend tightly, I felt her hands move around my back to calm me down. "This is the longest day of my life, Arabella," I said as I stopped sobbing. She freed me from the tight hug, using her hands to clean the tears from my face. "It's okay, let's go inside, we can talk inside," she said and I nodded, it was cold out here, and I wonder how long she sat on my porch waiting for me... "Why didn't you use your spare key?" I asked her, she has a key to my apartment, so why stay outside when it was cold? "I left my house in worry, I didn't have the time to check if my key was with me" I nodded in response hearing her explanation as we entered the house. I walked into the apartment and threw myself on the couch out of tiredness. "What should I make, are you hungry?" I heard Arabella ask me. "I'm not hungry I just need water," I said to her and she nodded to me walking to the kitchen to get water for me. I ate a lot 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
