MABEL'S POV
I stared at my parents in disbelief, I couldn't believe what they had just told me? Why? I mean… I couldn't even explain what I'm currently feeling.
"Dad, not only did you suddenly tell me that I've been betrothed ever since I was a child, but now you're telling me the guy is a porn star of all men in the world? How can you ask me, a proud and smart graduate, to get married to a porn star who knows how much sexual disease he is infected with? How can you ask me to get married to him? Yes, Dad, I can agree to marry someone to save the company from facing bankruptcy but the last thing on earth that I will do is get married to a porn star." I was heaving heavily in anger as I tried to explain myself.
I had just returned from the company when mom and dad called me to their room because we needed to have a conversation. Believing that it was about our company which was about to go bankrupt, I entered their room only to discover that it wasn't what I was thinking.
I couldn't believe that my parents who had always told me to never mingle with bad people were the ones asking me to get married to a porn star.
"Honey please be calm." Jane, my mom, told me to calm me down.
"How can I be calm? That guy had his naked body all around the internet and as if that's not enough, he changes girls like he changes clothes, how can you ask me to marry someone like him?" I spat out angrily.
"Honey, listen to us. We never expected him to be a porn star when we agreed to this, but an agreement is an agreement, we can only marry you to him. Besides, his mom agreed to help us with the bankruptcy. Just think about the poor workers who have been with us..."
"Sorry, Dad. I can't. I really can't. Had it been someone else, I'd definitely do so, but we're talking about a porn star. Can you proudly introduce your son-in-law's profession during meetings with a friend or business partner? I can't date someone like him, I'm sorry. I'm going out to see my friends." I said and immediately stood up to leave.
"Ma..."
Knowing that they were about to convince me again, I interrupted, "Find a different person who doesn't work as a porn star, and I'll accept it. See you later." I replied and immediately closed the door without glancing at my parents.
I was about to call my friend when Natasha, one of my friend's calls, came through, "Yeah. What's up?" I asked while walking toward my car.
"Let's meet at the club," Natasha yelled excitedly, her yells almost crushing my eardrum.
I could hear the club blasting noise through my phone. "I'm not interested," I replied in boredom. I planned to have a quiet time to think about everything without going to a club.
Natasha's voice soon turned harsh on the phone, "It's an order, not a request. In less than ten minutes, see you here. I'll text you the address." Natasha said eagerly and cut off the call.
In less than a minute, a text came through, and it was from Natasha.
"Drive to this address." I sighed and showed the club address to my driver before I fell into deep thought.
Still, I couldn't believe that my parents who always told me to marry someone I loved were the ones telling me this. Telling me to marry against my choice and to marry a porn star? Maybe going to the club was what I actually needed because I don't want to think about this but…
This was the first time I would be rejecting my parent's request and it made me frustrated. I couldn't help being pulled into temptation, so I quickly searched for the pornstar, I mean Stefan's name online. Before I could type his name completely it was already there which showed how popular he was.
I clicked on his name and there were many search results.
I secretly went through the search results, and I saw that Stefan was a famous porn star who started acting porn at the age of sixteen and after so many setbacks, he became one of the most successful porn stars with a booming business that was being run by his mother, Annabelle.
The search results also showed that Stefan was from a poor family who had piling debts to pay and that was what probably led him to be a porn star.
I searched for his image and I couldn't help being drawn to his face. Black eyes, long pointed nose, sharp jaw and sexy thin lips that made one… Mabel, shut up, he's a pornstar. The rational part of me immediately snapped.
"Miss, we are here." The driver suddenly announced, which jolted me awake. I sighed and quickly left the search app
I almost smacked myself hard; I couldn't believe that I was getting attracted to a pornstar. Eew
I nodded, and quickly put my phone in my purse before I stood up. I was about to enter the club when I met someone familiar and not so familiar. I couldn't believe that after hearing the name of this porn star I would also come across him tonight. I couldn't help but think that he was way more handsome that his photos
Stefan was giving out his autograph to fans when he suddenly stared at my direction as if he noticed my stare.
Many people, especially girls, ran over to Stefan and crowded him asking for his autograph. He stared at me as if he was expecting me to but I never did; instead, I glared at him arrogantly before I began to make my way toward the opposite side. He's just a pornstar no matter how handsome and muscular he looks, I'll never be attracted to such a man.
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 mo
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
