The Devil behind me Chapter 11
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

Mirabel's POV We sat on the four-corner dining table eating our breakfast when suddenly we heard the doorbell ring outside. Arabella and I looked at each other, who could be at the door? No one visits me except Arabella, so who might be at the door, I stood up from my seat to go get the door, but Arabella suddenly said "Sit, I'll get it" she stood up and walked to the door, she peeped through the peephole before she opened the door, I could see the entrance door from the dining but the person stood outside, so I didn't see anyone. I heard them converse before Arabella called out to me. "You have a package, Mira" I stood up and walked to the door when she said so. I saw a delivery man standing outside, "Mirabel Jayden?" he asked me and I nodded. He handed out a package to me and gave me something to sign on. I gave it back to him after signing it. "Thank you, ma'am," he said before leaving. Arabella and I entered the house and slammed the door shut. "Who would have sent it?" sh
