The car was silent as Axel's words rendered her mute to say a thing. After a long drive, Axel pulled the car to a stop as they arrived at the destination. He came down from the car, arranging his suit as he walked to the other side, and opened the door for Mirabel before she could open it herself. "Thank you," Mirabel said as she came out of the car, she looked up at the place they were, it was a restaurant, taking a deep breath she walked and made her way inside with Axel following after. He had taken time out of his busy schedule to plan things out. Mirabel walked into the restaurant and looked around, seeing that the place was empty except for them. "Are we alone?" she couldn't help but ask. "Yes," he answered. Although surprised and moved, Mirabel didn't say anything as he led her to the table in the middle of the restaurant, close to the window a little, the other tables were empty, and the place was dimly lit with a warm, cozy atmosphere. The walls were painted in soft, m

Chapter 171

COUNTRY B*** It was almost 6 PM and the case had been adjourned, Samael stood outside of the Lord's House with Quinn who had a panicked expression on her face. A man stood in front of them with a grin on his face as he saw the expression on Quinn's gaze. "All I want is for you to drop your charges, all of them, and I would tell my men to leave her alone," a man who looked to be in his early sixties said. He had a twisted expression that showed he was not to be trifled with. He wore a clean suit that was tailored to fit him perfectly, giving off an air of power and authority. Despite his age, his physique was still impressive, with broad shoulders and a lean build. His voice was low and menacing, and it was clear that he was used to getting what he wanted. He had a way of speaking that made it clear that he was not to be crossed. His words were dripped with malice and cruelty, and his face was lined with wrinkles, but his eyes were sharp and piercing, like that of a hawk. Samael

Quinn and Samael stood outside, panic written all over their face as they were confused about what step to take next. "What are we going to do, Dad?" Quinn asked worriedly as she saw Laurence making his way to where they stood. "We just have to wait for a call from Evan," Samael said It was at this same moment that Quinn's phone rang out loud, she answered it and brought it up to her ear. "Go on with the case. Axel and Mirabel are out of there" Evan said in a rushed tone, he was about to board a jet when he got a call from the clan's tech room as they had access to the footage of where Mirabel and Axel were. Heaving a breath, Quinn glanced at her father "They are okay" she said. The fear in Samael's face earlier pulled down, it was at this same moment that Laurence arrived at where they were. "So, what do you say? Are you dropping the charges or you would prefer to have your niece dead?" he asked with a smile on his face. Without answering, Samael walked past him and went insi

Chapter 173

COUNTRY B*** At the Lord's House, the setting was more of like a court setting, with three wise judges. The judge in the middle looked up around the place, fixing his glasses to the bridge of his nose. "You've been found guilty of all the charges laid against you, Mr. Laurence Spencer. You not only caused the death of Daniella Corvinus, but you also killed her husband. That's two people. Your recent activities don't also speak well about you, without further ado, the court sends you to life imprisonment with hard labor" the judge said "And also, if your clan, the Reapers clan wouldn't be given up on, then your family member would take over it, that is if you have anyone to inherit the clan." the Judge concluded finally, hitting his gavel on the surface. Laurence stood there, shaken up at the turn-up of events, everything was all Ace's fault or else this would have ended well, the way he wanted it. A few security men walked up to where Laurence was, handcuffing his hand behind hi

Chapter 174

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

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

***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

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

Chapter 178

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

Chapter 179

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
