The Devil behind me Chapter 155
Eyes locked on each other, held in a close grasp, it felt like time halted for a moment as Mirabel's brown lovely eyes stared into his dark abyss eyes, the dark eyes she had fallen in love with at first, his cologne and musky scent wafting into her nostrils. Her hands were on his chest as he held her waist, she could feel his quickened fast beating heartbeat as he stared down at her. She expected something like this may likely happen, but she wasn't expecting it to be on the first day she just arrived, this wasn't right. "Mira" he muttered her name softly, his deep voice called out to her in the most soothing way ever. 'No, no, no' Mirabel screamed in her head How would she have the strong will to leave again after meeting him this way, everything wasn't right, she wasn't expecting this. Their eyes were on each other, not wavering for a bit. A teardrop unconsciously fell off her eyes.****** EARLIER** Mirabel walked into the large hospital with Arabella, and they went strai

Mirabel felt a shiver run down her spine, but she didn't intend to waver no matter what. She was mentally prepared to handle this. If their safety would only be when they aren't together, then she would try hard to stay away from him. Even if she would have to say more hurtful words than this. "Release my hands, Axel, your grip is too tight" She frowned as she looked down at her hands which were gripped tightly by him. Axel calm down his nerves and loosened his grip on her hands, not releasing her yet, he released a sigh as he looked down at her, his gaze still soft on her, even though his aura was screaming danger to the trio who were there. Seeing the burning tension, Troy cleared his throat and walked away from there, alongside Marcel. "I'll wait for you inside, Mira" Arabella said and walked inside the hotel building giving the duo the privacy needed. "Now, would you please let me go, we can just talk, you don't have to hold me," Mirabel said as she looked down to her right h
The Devil behind me Chapter 157
Butler Luke stood amidst the gazes of the members of the Stuart family who were waiting for him to say something. "I'm sorry, I can't say anything, the old master has ordered me not to, he said he would inform the others when it's time. I'm in no position to say anything," he bowed his head low after his statement. He honestly would have told them, but he was in no position to do so when his master had already ordered him not to. Troy released a frustrated breath, and so did the others as they could only wait for Grandfather to tell them what was wrong himself, they weren't going to force Butler Luke, cause even though they did, the butler wouldn't still say a thing. He was only being loyal to one person, and that's his master. The hallway became silent as no one said a thing, only Blaire's continuous sniffing was heard, every member of the family was close to him in their way, he was strict and strong-headed at times, but he never fails to advise, and have time for his family.

The Devil behind me Chapter 158
The room was silent except for the beeping sound of the machines monitoring the old man's vitals. Axel sat down quietly in the room on a chair beside his grandfather as he awaited a response from him, watching as the old man's chest rise and fall with each labored breath. Axel knew something was wrong but he didn't know what. His grandfather had always been a strong, stoic man, and he had never seen him sick before. "What's the wrong grandfather?" he asked again after he didn't receive a response for a long time. Grandfather glanced at Axel as he hesitated to speak, closing his eyes shut, he opened them again and looked up at the ceiling. Even if he could keep it from others, it wasn't the same for Axel, he had done it successfully for the last few weeks, but he couldn't anymore. Releasing a sigh, he finally opened up and said what was wrong with him "I have pneumonia" Axel felt his heart sink when he heard his grandfather's words, Pneumonia was a serious illness, especially for
The Devil behind me Chapter 159
Around 6 PM the same day, employees fished out of the company and so did Charlotte. She walked out of Gold Fox, looking tired and drenched from the day's work, they were given the scripts to work on about a few weeks ago, and ever since then they've been rehearsing like crazy, every single day was spent at the rehearsal hall. At the same time she came out from the company doors, as she still stood at the exit, she heard a voice from behind her that made her stiffen. "Not sure, but with the way things are going, I'm sure it would turn out well" the deep soothing voice echoed into her ears and her eyes widened as her body stood rooted to the spot, with no chance to run away like she had been doing over the past few days, if she wanted to scurry away fast before he notices her, it would be too late. "True true" Ace said to Troy as they walked out of the company, Troy halted on his steps as his gaze falls on the lady at his front, just a few steps away. Ace noticed this also. "Charlot
The Devil behind me Chapter 160
The car shook slightly as the broken girl drove down the highway, tears streaming down her face, she was in a daze, her mind consumed by the words of her father, each syllable a painful reminder of the lifetime of neglect and abuse she had endured at the hands of her father. Charlotte wiped the tears with her left hand while her right hand was on the steering of the car, she didn't want to cry, no! but she couldn't stop, she was trying hard to not cry and not feel pained, but she couldn't. Her painful sobs resonated through the car, reminding her that she was alone, she had always been and would always be, and she had no one to lean on. Her heart ached, and she couldn't help but ask herself "Why me?" why couldn't she just have a peaceful life, a life with her mother, a life with a lovely family? The thoughts aching her more, she moved her hands to her neck, she had lost her locket, and she was growing to not think about it, but she couldn't help it, she had always had it around her
The Devil behind me Chapter 161
The two guys that were about to touch Charlotte stopped when they heard the voice, they turned their heads to glance at who wanted to stop them. The Sterling brothers moved their gaze to the man standing, Cain's brows creased into a frown and he opened up "I don't think you have any business over here, Troy" Everyone knew who Troy was, and the Sterling brothers weren't excluded. Troy glanced at Cain who was standing beside the brother "Dare touch her, and you'll know I have business over here" saying that Troy walked up to the lady on the floor, lowered himself, and squatted at her front. Everyone's gaze was on them as they wondered what Troy Stuart had to do with the lady. "Charlotte" Troy called out gently, the anger in his eyes earlier had diminished when he stared down at her, as she hugged her knees, her eyes on the floor, not even sparing him a glance, his heart ached at the sight, he looked up sending a glare to Cain. "What did you guys do to her?" he asked. The Sterling b

"Mother" "Why? Why me? Why does it have to be me?" a tear fell from her eyes and Troy, although surprised, instinctively used his left hand to graze her skin as he wiped off the tears from her eyes which were closed as she spoke those words, her eyes were still closed. His face was a few inches away from hers. "Mother" she cried out again, whimpering to herself. 'Is she having a nightmare?' Troy thought, unable to apprehend what was going on, or what she was talking about, he had thought she was about to wake up but it didn't seem that way. After speaking she turned to the other side, her back to him as she continued sleeping, her breathing was calm and steady as ever. Troy released a sigh and looked up, laying properly on the driver's seat, and pulling it down, low enough to lie down comfortably. He moved his left hand to his forehead, leaning his elbow on the side of the car, he glanced at the lady who was still sleeping soundly beside him, and he couldn't help but wonder if s
