The Devil behind me Chapter 127
STUART'S MANSION*** Old master's study room, it was Saturday morning and the newspaper arrived at the mailbox outside of the mansion. Master Stuart was in his study room sipping his early morning coffee as he looked out of the window to the garden, his gaze traveling around the different colors of flowers that decorated the garden, he stayed there for a few more minutes before he stood up from there and walked to the table, he picked up his phone to make a call but the loud knock on his door from someone outside made him furrow his brows in anger. Why would someone come and knock on his door this way, early this morning, the person knocked again, this time harshly as if he or she couldn't wait any longer. With a frown on his face, the old master walked to the door, his walking stick clicked as he approached the door, rather than telling the person to come in, he decided on checking who the person was first. With his hand on the door handle, he opened it to meet Vince who looked to

Troy hung up the call after the call ended with grandfather, he rubbed his palms on his forehead and rested his back on the couch "Can things just not get worse" he muttered. "They would arrive in less than an hour if they take the private jet, what are we going to say to them if they come? Grandfather is already panicked and furious" Troy said, after telling his grandfather about Axel's accident, he asked what happened but he told them he didn't know how to explain the situation, and now they were coming to Arlan. "It's good they know now, at least that problem is canceled," Mirabel said as she picked up her phone from the table next to the bed, she hadn't switched it on ever since last night. Her action earned a glance from Troy who shared a look with Stephen, she was going to find out about the article and there was nothing they could do. Mirabel switched on her phone and at that same moment Troy immediately stood up and grabbed it from her hand, his action surprised her and she

Mirabel wasn't completely sure if it was the person she was thinking about. Maybe Stella had finally decided to a make move after all the empty threats she had been giving for a while now. Whoever did this would be someone who was there when Steve had come to the front of the company to harass her, cause that's the only way anyone would know about what she had with Steve before. Marcel needed her to at least call someone she might suspect it to be so they can have a lead on where and who to search for, he waited patiently for her, they were all waiting for her to say a name and after a few minutes, she finally opened up. "I think It's Stella" ****** About Almost an hour later, everyone had gone out of the room and it was only Mirabel left, she had just finished several minutes' call with Arabella who wanted to make sure she was okay, even after she had assured her that she wasn't that bothered about the article. Mirabel dialed Charlotte's number but it wasn't reachable so she tr

Vince became silent for a while, this was the first time that Troy was standing against him and it was all because of her fault, his gaze moved from Troy to Mirabel who was at his back. "This is what you planned, right? By coming into this family you intend to break the bond of this family, they can all say what they want but just know I'll never approve of you staying with Axel," Vince said with a serious tone, his words shattered Mirabel's heart, why would she want to break the bond of the family? she would be lying if she said his words didn't hurt her. "Would you just stop this, your son is laying unconscious over here for goodness sake" Reina cried. The old master didn't say a thing again, he just kept shut with his gaze straight on Axel. "This is the last warning I would give to you Mirabel," Vince said before he turned his gaze to face Axel. Stephen stood there not saying anything, no one had anything to say, they just wanted Axel to wake up, none of this would happen if he

Mirabel looked around the vicinity of the place they just arrived, it was a very large space with three buildings, one tall one in the middle, and two other small buildings beside it. This is called the CLAN CENTER, that's what Quinn told her, the place was surrounded by tall fencing, so you couldn't see what was going on outside and vice versa. There were other houses outside of this, Quinn referred to this place as the main center and where the head of the clan stayed "Let's go in, Father is waiting for us inside" Hearing Quinn's words pulled Mirabel back. She nodded and with that, Quinn made her way to the tall building, climbing the stairs case, while Mirabel silently followed behind her. After climbing up to the top of the stairs, they walked through a dark corridor and Mirabel couldn't help but look around, the corridor was silent, and only the sounds of their shoes could be heard, after several turns, they finally arrived at the elevator. Quinn went in and Mirabel followed.

"You are kidding me, right?" Arabella said with nervous laughter. "No... No, I'm not" Aaron responded. "Wait a minute. Are you drunk?" Arabella asked as she could hear background noises. "No, all you need to know is I don't want to have anything to do with you," Aaron said and in the next moment, all Arabella heard was the beep beep sound, indicating that the call has ended. She stood there for a long time, staring blankly at her phone screen. She didn't know why she wasn't feeling much pain from his words, it was like she expected something of such but not this early. She released a breath, as her hope of leaving the single life was drastically lowered once again. Arabella took a turn and went back into her condo after unlocking and opening the door, she went straight to the kitchen. She brought out a bottle of water from the fridge, uncapped it, and gulped it down her throat, she wasn't thirsty, she just needed something to calm her nerves. With her hand on the bottle of water

"Huh?!" Stephen asked surprised at her words. "I said where have you been" Arabella muttered again and slapped his hands off her front before she tried to lift herself, Stephen didn't know what to say or do any longer so he didn't say anything as he watched her try to stand up herself. Arabella put both her hands on the floor for support before she tried to get up only to fail in her attempt cause her hands were too weak to serve as a support, she was drunk and unaware of what exactly was happening around her, she didn't even know what she was also talking about. "Let me just help you up" Stephen requested, almost pleading, he had to go down the road and go get something from the grocery store cause he was extremely hungry but, it wouldn't be gentlemanly of him to leave her here like this, completely dead drunk. He wondered how on earth she was even able to board a taxi that brought her here. " I said leave me alone," Arabella said with a glare, the actions she was portraying didn'

COUNTRY B*** Mirabel followed Quinn gently as she was led to a room, she had spent hours being toured around the place by Samael, who went on telling her the history of the clan, in all honesty, she didn't find herself interested in any of the clan's rules, she wasn't at all amazed, but the history intrigued her. She recalled the words he had straightly said to her. "You shouldn't get involved with Axel, he isn't worthy of you, you have the blood of the Corvin's clan running through you, and as a female descendant, you are meant to marry a member of the clan and not outside," he had strictly warned. They walked a few more feet and after a while, they approached a room in the corridor, Quinn brought out a key and unlocked the door before she led Mirabel inside the large bedroom. Mirabel looked around the large bedroom, it had a medium-sized bed in the middle, a closet on the right end of the room, and a table with a chair on the other edge, there was also a shoe rack which was just
