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

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....."

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
STEFAN'S POV"Mabel have agreed to the marriage, and so will you!" Mom yelled at me over the other end of the phone. I hated everything about Mabel. Her arrogance, her entitled attitude, the way she always acted like she was better than everyone else. And now, I was supposed to marry her? I couldn't do it. I just couldn't.I tried to collect my thoughts, to figure out what to say. I couldn't believe my mother would be so heartless to agree to this. She knew how I felt about Mabel. We had argued about her over the weeks, I never agreed to get married to her. I couldn't understand why she would do this to me. "Mom, you can't be serious," I said, my voice shaking. "You know how I feel about Mabel. There's no way I can marry her." There was a long pause on the other end of the line. I could almost hear my mother's brain whirring, trying to figure out what to say."I know you two have had your differences," my mother finally said, "but I truly believe that this is for the best. You're b
STEFAN'S POVMum sat down with me and Mabel to discuss the details of the wedding. She suggested a date that was only a few weeks away. My heart sank. I had hoped for more time to prepare, but I knew that I had to make the best of the situation. "What about the venue?" Mabel asked. "Where will we have the wedding?" My mother suggested a local church, but Mabel shook her head. "I'm not religious," she said. "I'd prefer something more secular."As I sat across from my mother and Mabel, discussing the details of our upcoming wedding, I felt a knot of anxiety in my stomach. I didn't want to get married, especially not to Mabel. But I knew I had no choice. My mother was insistent, and I didn't have the strength to fight her. So I sat there, listening to the plans being made, feeling like a prisoner. I wondered if I would ever be able to break free."What about the dress?" Mabel asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. My mother suggested a traditional white gown, but Mabel shook her he
MABEL'S POVI got out of bed, the morning light streaming through the window. I looked at myself in the mirror, trying to imagine what my life would be like as a married woman. I felt a surge of panic, and I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down. I knew I couldn't let my anxiety get the best of me, not on this day of all days. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes again. I had a lot of work to do before the ceremony, and I couldn't afford to waste any time.I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the hot water wash over me. As I stood there, I tried to clear my mind, focusing on the feeling of the water on my skin. I tried to imagine myself as a bride, walking down the aisle towards my future. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was suffocating. I turned off the shower, the panic rising in my chest. I had to get it together, I had to be strong. But I felt like I was on the verge of losing control. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to c
STEFAN'S POVI and Mabel sat in silence as my mother told us about our honeymoon plans. We had both known that this day was coming, but we had been dreading it. Now, we were forced to sit through a presentation of all the weird activities that awaited us on our trip, and it was making us both feel sick. We tried to hide their reactions, but it was clear that we were both miserable. I sat there, trying to keep my face neutral, but I could feel the anger rising in my chest. I didn't want to go on a honeymoon with Mabel, I didn't even want to be married to her. But I had made a commitment, and I had to see it through. I just hoped that I could get through the next few weeks without losing my mind.As my mother droned on about the different activities we would be doing, I felt like I was suffocating. I just wanted to get out of there.Finally, the presentation was over. My mother smiled at us, oblivious to the tension in the room. "Well, what do you think?" she asked, looking at us expec
