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

The year was almost coming to an end, it was already November, exactly a month after Mirabel left Country A and started a new life in Country B. A month after which Axel had since been unconscious, exceeding the expected number of days he was meant to wake up. A month after which Charlotte had been living at a hotel, although she was being charged a lot, it was all worth it, at least she had peace in her life which she never knew she could have, her father wasn't there to throw words at her nor was Joanne, her stepmom, they didn't even bother to communicate with her at all for the last few weeks, and she couldn't be happier.

The hospital room was pin-drop silent, no one spoke a thing, Troy stood beside his brother but he didn't dare to take a peek at what Axel might be reading, Stephen stood calmly at the other side of the bed, he rubbed his palm on his forehead and released a breath before he took a glance at Sofia who stood by the door, her back to the wall. Sofia would be lying if she said she wasn't infuriated and jealous, the first person he asks of after waking up is Mirabel, she wasn't here for the past month, and they never saw her drop by the hospital to check up on him, yet he asks of her at first instance, what more could make her boil and jealous? She angrily walked out of the room a few minutes later. Axel sat down on the bed, his rooted gaze was on the paper which he held in his right hand.

Axel sat down alone in the hospital room, staring out through the window, the words she had written in the letter still lingered in his mind, he was bothered and wondering if that was what she thought about him. Releasing a sigh, he stood up from the chair and walked to the bed, dressed in the hospital gown which he didn't like, he had to leave the place today no matter what. He sat down on the bed and it was at this moment heard the sound of his phone ringing, Marcel had brought the phone when he came around. He picked it up from the table and answered it, after seeing who the caller was. "Yes?" "We found her boss," John's voice said from the other side. Before Axel could say a thing, the door to his room was abruptly opened from outside, and with a frown, he glanced in that direction "Later" he said to John and disconnected the call. He saw his mother standing at the door, with teary eyes, but she wasn't alone, Axel squinted his eyes at the lady beside his mother, her face look
