STEFAN'S POV
I had never met someone like that strange girl who was staring at me, for her to stare at me like that, I knew that she despised my career. Many people does, yet they still watch me
Honestly, I also despise this career most times, but dad always tells him that I can't quit. I always tried to ask if there was a strange reason why I shouldn't quit but none of my parents replied to me.
I stared at the lady's back frame, and I knew that she was distinct from all the ladies I had met in the past. Was it her look or the way she carried herself? I couldn't place a finger on it.
George suddenly pulled my hand and began to pull me away from the demanding fans before dragging me to our private room. This club was owned by George and it had become where we typically lounged during our free time. "If I didn't pull you away from there, you could do this all day, Stefan." He scolded but I ignored him and sat down.
I poured myself a liquor and downed it quickly.
"What's up? Low mood?" George patted my shoulder to comfort me. "How are you coping with Mirabel's death?" He asked with concern.
I placed the liquor glass on the table and replied honestly, "She's in my head all the time." I muttered to their hearing, leaned back on the chair and closed my eyes. "And as if I never had such a cloudy head and mood, my mom suddenly proposed the idea of getting married to a girl. Said we were betrothed ever since we were…" I ruffled my hair angrily and angrily poured myself a drink.
"Betrothed ? How does the girl look? Does she look hot?" Owen suddenly interrupted me with shiny eyes as if that was what he cared about despite my explanation.
"How the hell am I supposed to know? I don't want to get married." I snorted angrily. "I wondered if the girl would want to get married to a porn star though?" My eyes lit up with that word but George was quick to diffuse my happiness.
George stared at me angrily, "What is wrong with being a porn star? The real deal is, what if she's one of those crazy fans of yours, think about it?" He nudges me, which makes mine and Owen's expression change into a horrified one.
"Damn. That will be worse because she'll probably cling to me all day. The worst thing is I have already accepted it." I said and began to blame himself for being rash. Had I known I would have asked mom about the girl.
"You have accepted her already?" George and Owen yelled at the same time. Their voices were filled with astonishment.
"Congratulations, dear friend." Owen grinned while patting my shoulder which made me give him a glare which he ignored.
"At least let us check her out, who is the girl the famous Stefan is getting married to? Is she beautiful?" Owen nudged me with shiny eyes. This womanizer!
"The daughter of Mr. Johnson of DeJon Company as I heard," I replied in a bored voice only for George and Owen to stare at me with disbelief.
"You are getting married to Mabel, that brilliant graduate that had severally appeared on the TV?" They stared at me with envy and awe. "Oh damn! your mum really finds a good girl for you."
George quickly picked up his phone and I had an inkling that he was about to search for that Mabel girl, "Look at her, she is very beautiful." He said but I ignored him, which made him throw his phone on my lap, "Take a look at your future wife." He said with a grin.
"She is not my wife. I won't touch her and I won't relate to her. I don't want to get married, but my mom had to use force to get me to do so, so I planned to make her life a living hell." I retorted but still I took the phone that was on my lap.
I frowned upon seeing the pictures. "Wait, this was that girl?" I said while scrolling through the search results. The strange girl who glared at me arrogantly earlier was Mabel?
"You met her already?" Owen and George grinned while waiting for my reply.
"Hm," I replied and threw the phone back to George nonchalantly. "When I was signing an autograph earlier, she passed by and glared at me. I had a feeling that she doesn't like porn stars." I replied.
"Huh. Perhaps she's angry that she's settling with you. It seems she won't chase you; you'll be the one to chase after her." George commented.
"Who are you kidding? Why will I chase her? I don't even like her." I scoffed angrily. I don't even want to deal with love. Why would I chase after someone that arrogant like her?
Knock knock
We haven't ordered anything or some sort which made us turn to look at each other with confusion. "Come in." Owen said and soon the door was opened
George and Owen gasped and pulled my wrist with a grin on their face upon seeing the girls that came in.

MABEL'S POV
"Why did you have me visiting the club?" I asked Natasha coldly. I waved to my other friends before I sat down at a seat closer to Natasha.
"To have fun or what's the point?" Sandra, another friend of mine replied, which made me roll my eyes.
"Who the hell wants to have fun when my life is currently in a mess?" I grumbled to my friend's hearing.
"What do you mean? What's happening? Is it still the company issue?" They all quirked up their ears waiting for nothing but gossip.
I picked up a glass of non-alcoholic red wine and downed it, "My dad suddenly wants me to get married to a pornstar. Imagine, Stefan the famous pornstar. Apparently, we have been betrothed ever since we were both young because our parents are friends with each other. What should I do? I feel like a bad person for rejecting my parents but I don't want to marry him." I complained while ruffling my hair.
"Why can't you? He is a human and he has feelings also. Many girls will be dying to have him. And I'm also among them." Sandra replied with a grin.
"Shut up. I don't need to hear this." I rolled my eyes upon hearing Sandra's words.
Sandra moved closer to me, "What did you hate about him? That you're getting married to him or that he's a pornstar?" She asked.
"Both," I replied blandly.
"But being a pornstar is his career. If it's something he enjoys, why should you complain about it?" Natasha asked which made me frown.
"But his naked body is on many social media. He may have been in contact with many sexual diseases after so much sex, how can I get married to someone like that, I'd rather die. And you know that I also hated sharing my man." I uttered.
Natasha suddenly pulled me by the wrist. "Come with me." She demanded
"What?" I furrowed my brows in confusion while wondering what she was up to.
"I heard the famous Stefan is in a private room. Let's go and clarify with him." Natasha said which made my eyes widen in disbelief. I can't believe she wanted me to talk to that pornstar, for what?
I quickly tried to pull my hand away but Natasha's hold was firm which made me unable to do so "Are you crazy? Why will I talk to him?"
"Because it seems like you can't get rid of this marriage so let's clarify your wants and not. And maybe I can also get a dreamy boyfriend. He has hot friends, I heard. Maybe I could catch the eyes of one of them." Natasha replied with a dreamy look that made my lips parted in disbelief.
MABEL'S POVIt turns out that she was only after his hot friends but that's none of my concern, she can leave if she wanted, I never asked her not to."You are all sick in the head, I'm not doing this with you." I protested angrily but before I could sit down, all my friends supported Natasha and began to drag me out of the room toward Stefan's private room."Wait. Why should I..." No matter how I protested I was dragged out of the room.There was a crowd of fans in front of Stefan's private room and upon seeing us they glared at us in annoyance as if they had seen their mortal enemies."What is wrong with them?" I asked in a quiet voice."Stefan had one of the most protective fans in the entertainment industry. I'm sorry to tell you, friend, you'll have to go through a lot before you can get married to him. All his girlfriends have been bullied on the internet in one way or the other for getting related to Stefan. Even though he is a pornstar who changed girls repeatedly, I heard tha
MABEL POV I stayed late at the club waiting for Natasha and Lily to step out so we can leave together. What Sandra said the other time flashed in and I just scoffed. Lily was right, that girl is acting a little bit weird today, she rat out the words I said about Stefan, and now I keep hoping my parent doesn't hear about what happened. I checked time on my phone and it's almost midnight. I will enter that toilet and drag them out if they don't come out in the next five minutes I came out of the club and went to stood beside a wall, the club building. No cab is passing by, it looks like tonight I'm going to trek home. I came with a car but I sent my driver home, an hour ago. I packed my loosed hair and folded my arms then placed it beneath my boobs. I took a step but stopped abruptly when I heard a voice. That voice, I recognized it instantly. Sandra's voice. "Stefan. Stefan." Sandra called him. I looked at her to see a deep look in her eyes. Why is she still lurking around by
Stefan's POVI listened intently as the voice on the other end of the phone gave me the shocking news about the CCTV footage. Someone had deliberately caused the break failure in Mirabel's car, leading to her tragic accident. The voice indicated that they were still working on identifying the culprit, but the evidence was clear. I stood up furiously ruffling my head furiously, so her death was all planned and someone did that!!My mind raced with a flurry of emotions , anger, grief, and confusion. How could someone be so evil as to intentionally cause an accident just to make me mourn my girlfriend? And who could it be? Questions flooded my mind, but there were no immediate answers. I loved her so much and someone decided to take her a way by using an accident, I just Revenge her death and Find the person!!, This is a promise to Mirabel. Taking down everyone that have a hand in her death, they are gonna die too.I hung up the phone and turned to face Mabel, who was still lounging on t
STEFAN'S POVIt took a moment for Mabel's words to sink in. "What... what did you say?" I stammered, my heart pounding in my chest Wondering what she know about Mirabel, I was dumbstruck. It was as if the whole world had stopped, and my mind couldn't comprehend what she had just uttered.Mabel smirked, a smug look spreading across her face. "Oh, didn't you hear me? Mirabel... she's alive" she drawled, reveling in the shock she had just caused me and my eyes widened, At that point I couldn't pinpoint the sarcastic look on her face. My head was just filled with Mirabel.My mind went into overdrive, trying to process this information. Could it be true? Could Mirabel really be alive? A mixture of hope and confusion clouded my thoughts. "No... that can't be. I saw the clip of the accident, the wreckage, it was..." I trailed off, unable to finish my sentence, I was already going crazy and my brain was already messed up at this point.Mabel crossed her arms, a sly smile playing on her lips.
Stefan's POVMabel's laughter echoed in my ears as she continued to mock me. I couldn't believe the audacity she had to make light of such a painful situation. Anger coursed through my veins like wildfire, and I could feel myself losing control of my emotions, It hurts so much and she couldn't even feel any form of remorse."Get out! Get out of my house and don't you dare show your face to me again!" I yelled, my voice trembling with rage and hurt. Tears formed in my eyes, blurring my vision as I struggled to keep my composure. But the weight of it all was overwhelming, and the floodgates burst open as I sunk to the floor, my body racked with sobs, I couldn't help but just pour it out because this hurts so much. And with this I don't think I can even get married to someone like this, She is a witch and can't be someone to spend the rest of my life with, She can even kill me at night with this behaviour.All the memories of Mirabel came rushing back, the love we shared, the dreams we h
STEFAN'S POVI was hoping for mum to lash out at me, i know the consequences for disobeying mum's order, but i did it anyway. I could risk anything for Mirabel and i need to get to the truth of her death."You must be out of your mind" mum replied to me after i told her to call off the preparation for the marriage."Mum, I'm a grown up adult. Why can't i possibly make decisions for myself. It's my life mum, not your life" i yelled out to mum at the other end of the phone."How....." I didn't allow mum to continue her statement and i hung up on her.All through my life, this is the first time i boldly stood up against mum's decision. Recently, mum have been behaving wired. Although i disliked my dad for forcing me into porn acting, i am begining to see that both him and mum are working together to ruin my life.Ding!!!I got a text message on my phone. Without checking the message that popped up on my phone screen, i knew who i would be.I brought out my phone, and just as i thought, i
MABEL'S POVMy phone rang, I saw the number on the screen and my stomach dropped. It was Stefan's mother. I knew she was going to ask me to do something I didn't want to do. I considered not answering, but I knew that would only make things worse. So I picked up the phone and said, "Hello?" "Mabel, dear, it's Stefan's mother. I have a proposition for you, I need you to do something for me," she continued. "I need you to come over to our house and spend the night with Stefan. I know it's a big ask, but it's important to me." I felt my heart sink. "Why?" I asked, my voice small. "I need to make sure that he will abide by my orders, I need him to know that he's not going to do anything stupid. And I think that you might be the one to make that happen by doing what i ask of you." I didn't know what to say. "I don't know if I can do that," I replied back to her." Remember your family bankruptcy!" she blurted out.I knew that my parents were struggling financially. And I knew that they
MABEL'S POV"Mabel, your father has had a heart attack," my mother said, her voice shaking. "He's in the hospital, and they say he's in critical condition." My heart stopped. I felt like the world was spinning around me. My mind was racing. I couldn't believe what i was hearing. My father had always been so healthy, so strong. How could this be happening? I could barely think straight, but I knew I had to act quickly. I ran to my car and started the engine, my hands shaking. I tried to focus on the road as I drove to the hospital, but my thoughts were consumed with worry for my father. What if he didn't make it?When I arrived at the hospital, I rushed to the reception desk. I told the receptionist my father's name, and the receptionist directed me to the cardiac unit. My heart kept on pounding as I made my way down the long hallway. I felt like I was in a nightmare, like this couldn't be real. Finally, I reached the cardiac unit. I went to the nurses' station and asked for my fath
