COUNTRY A** Axel sat down in the meeting room alongside other executives of Imperial and Gold Fox as they discussed the upcoming end-of-year celebration. Axel had an air pod on the right side of his ear as he watched a video on his tablet, it was the video of the restaurant Mirabel went to, he stared at the screen for a long time while Marcel stood beside him. "My department and I, with the others who are holding the responsibility of preparing everything for the celebration concluded on an issue. We decided that rather than..." The man who was on his feet talking suddenly stopped with his gaze on their boss. Axel looked up "Why did you stop?" he asked, although he was watching something and his attention was divided, he was still listening to every single thing they were talking about from start. Seeing that their boss seemed to still be listening, the man continued "We concluded to have it at a hotel so that guests who would be coming far away would have a place to lodge" he ex

GOLD FOX*** Charlotte walked out of her manager's office with a pile of documents in her hands "Let me help you with that" she heard a voice say from nowhere, turning her head to the right she saw Ace standing there with a smile on his face. "Oh no no, thank you, there's no need for that," she said even though she was indeed looking for someone kind enough to help her with the heavy documents she was carrying, she was told to drop them off at the reception counter on the ground floor. "You sure?" Ace asked as he didn't move his gaze from her, her blonde hair was gluing to her neck skin as she was sweating, she must have been busy since. Before she could object again, to Charlotte's surprise, Ace took a step closer to her and picked up a pile of documents from her hands, leaving only a few. Charlotte stood there, mouth open as she forgot how to say thank you, he was so gentle. "Where are you taking it to?" Ace asked as he walked past her. Charlotte stood there, forgetting he aske

Charlotte momentarily became silent when she heard the voice scolding her and she didn't know how to explain. She has no excuse for coming late. Her gaze narrowed at Troy before she immediately bowed her head "I'm sorry, sir" she apologized but it appeared Troy was hell-bent on not letting it go easily. "There are others in here that you kept waiting for you," he said, and without looking up, Charlotte seethed her tongue. "I'm sorry everyone for keeping you all waiting for me" After she said that, Troy went on with the conversation he was having with the others. "So for Gold Fox's third anniversary which is scheduled to take place next month..." Charlotte looked up as she heard him continue his conversation, diverting the eyes from her. She glanced around the room in search of an empty seat but she didn't find any, the only one she saw was the one beside the head chair, where Troy was. She didn't know whether to go pick it up, but if she does that, then it would attract everyone t

It felt like a bucket of water was poured down Charlotte's body as she realized what she had just done, she tried to push Troy so he can drop her cause he was still carrying her, but he didn't budge, rather he peered his dark eyes into her soul "Stop" "Someone is outside," Charlotte said in a whisper as she noticed that he didn't even care about the consequences that might follow if people hear about this, was she the only one scared of the situation? "Let me go," she said in a whisper, seeing the state she was in, Troy dropped her, trapping her between his hands to the door. "How am I going to explain this, why did you come here? They would think we have been going this, oh heavens!" she cried as she ruffled her hair, something which Troy found cute as a smile marred his lips. He was about to open up and asked who it was but Charlotte was fast enough to stop him, by shushing him with her index finger on his lips. "If you say something, it would worsen the situation, cause why on
The Devil behind me Chapter 149
Charlotte drove her car into the hotel parking lot, after parking it at the right spot she came down from the car, only to receive a call once again. Without checking the caller ID this time around she angrily brought the phone to her ear "Father, I don't understand why you keep on calling me when I already told you I'll call when I'm less busy. I don't know what brought about the sudden change of mind that made you say you want me back home to complete the family, but I'm not that stupid to believe so easily after all you've done, not just to me, but also to mother while she was alive. People do not just change overnight, I don't believe the idea that it happens." she didn't stop to take a breath as she poured out all the emotions she was feeling into the call, hoping her message reaches him well. She was tired of him, tired of the type of family she grew up in, without her mother, rather with a woman who claims to care for her but still spouts rubbish even to her face. "Charlotte?

STUART'S MANSION** Axel walked into the household, he was just arriving from work and decided to drop over, he walked into the large sitting room of the mansion, and his gaze fell on his mother and sister who were in the living room, but they weren't alone. There was another lady with them, Axel's gaze lingered on her before he glanced at his mother and sister who were yet to notice his arrival as they were conversing. Reina who was listening to her daughter talk with a smile on her face looked up to see Axel walking in "Good evening, Mother" he greeted and she stood up. "Axel, I had no idea you were dropping by today," she said as she walked up to him. "Brother!" Blaire stood up also and so did Sofia who was with them for almost five hours now and was about to leave, before she saw him, her eyes sparkling as she saw the handsome fine man who stood just a few feet away from her, yet still appeared distant whenever she was close to having him. "I'm not staying for long," Axel said
The Devil behind me Chapter 151
Everyone except Axel and grandfather glanced toward Vince's direction when they heard the sound. "Mirabel? Who's Mirabel?" Blaire was the one to break the silence as she had no idea who Martins was referring to. "Why would you bring up such a matter when we are at the dining table if she isn't here, then isn't it obvious she had left? She couldn't stay with him and had left, why talk about her again?" Vince glared at Martins for bringing up such a discussion about Mirabel. "Oh! I was just curious that's why I asked" Martins used that as an excuse, which sounded like a lie, cause a smile was on his face. No one said a thing again, while Grandfather dropped his gaze to Axel who wasn't saying anything, rather he was staring deep at Martins, he looked extremely cool and not fazed about it. Minutes later Grandfather stood up from the table after he had finished his meal, Axel also stood up "I'm leaving" he announced. "Can't you stay for the night?" Reina asked but to her disappointme
The Devil behind me Chapter 152
The old master walked into the mansion after giving Troy an earful of his words, his gaze fell on Martins who was sitting on a couch in the sitting room staring into thin air as he looked up at the ceiling. Taking further steps in, Grandfather rose his stick up and used it to hit Martins in his leg, this unexpected action made the young man who was staring at the ceiling flinch as he glanced towards where Grandfather stood. "Grandfather..!" his brows creased "Why would you hit me with your walking stick?" he asked, looking offended at the action. "You still have the guts to ask me such a question, when are you going to stop interrupting conversations in the dining room by spouting your nonsense" The old man rose his stick to hit him again but Martins was fast enough to move from there, falling to the floor. "I wasn't spouting nonsense, I was just making the atmosphere lively," Martins said as he stood up from the floor, dusting the sleeve of his shirt. "Making the atmosphere livel
