*****STUART'S MANSION Mirabel woke up early, she looked around the room but couldn't find Axel, so she stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and rinse her face. She didn't take long in the bathroom before she walked out with a towel in her hands which she was using to wipe the water from her face. She packed her hair into a ponytail before she ambled her way out of the bedroom. As she went down the stairs, she saw Axel's mother walking in her direction. "Good morning ma'am," Mirabel said with the utmost respect. "Oh, good morning dear, I was heading to your room. Take your shower and come for breakfast" Reina said to Mirabel with a smile. "Ok, m..." Mirabel wanted to say but was cut short as she heard Axel's mother suddenly said "Just call me mother" Reina uttered in a gentle tone to her, she had already accepted the young lady for her son when she met her yesterday, that was how certain she was of her son's decision. "Ok Mother," Mirabel said befo

Troy stood on his feet almost sweating in his grandfather's study room as he waited for his verdict. They finished their breakfast a while ago and the butler came to his room to tell him that his presence was requested by his grandfather. Troy has been standing here waiting for his grandfather who hadn't come to his study. He stood there for some minutes before the door to the study suddenly opened as the old man walked in. Troy turned around to face the door and his gaze met his grandfather's own "Grandfather..." Troy wanted to say but... " Shhh, don't grandfather me when you've made a mistake..." The old man said before he walked in and sat down on his chair "I don't intend to give you a heavy punishment, it is just something you would never forget" he said to Troy. Troy took in a deep breath as he thought to himself 'That isn't a good call at all The door was suddenly opened and Butler Luke came in. The old man glanced at him and said "So?

***** Axel left the house a while ago to meet up with Marcel at the office, they had some issues that he had to fix before he travels out for his business trip. When he arrived back home, he went straight to his room but he didn't see her there nor did he hear any sounds from the bathroom, which would have indicated that she might be there. "Mirabel" he called out her name as he went into the walk-in closet to check if she was there but she was not, Axel came out of his room and went down the stairs, he checked the dining, but still no, she wasn't there. He went outside the house, there was one place where she could be, where he hadn't checked yet, and it was the flower garden. Axel walked toward the flower garden with his usual cool demeanor, and finally, she was there, but everything took a drastic change as his face became dark when he saw Martins with her there, and that too holding her hands. "LET HER GO!" Axel's loud voice thundered which made Mirabel and Martins look in that

****MONDAY** Mirabel decided to drop off from the car and go straight to her workplace, Gold Fox, on their way back. The car finally came to a halt when it reached her destination, Mirabel cleared her throat and glanced at Axel who wasn't saying anything ever since. "I guess this is where we say our goodbyes, I'm going to my house after work," she said. "Come back to my house," Axel said to her without sparing her a stare, his words shocked Mirabel, come back to his house? for what? was there still a need for that? she wondered "No reasons?" she asked as she saw that he didn't look like he'll say anything further. "My family can visit anytime, and I'll leave for a business trip tomorrow," Axel said in his deep voice. Mirabel didn't move an inch, that was probably the second time he had said something this long to her "Umm ok" she said with a nod, well at least he wouldn't be around. She was okay with what he said until she suddenly heard "You might have to stay for the next fe

Huh? Troy? what was he doing here?' Mirabel wondered as she saw him standing a few inches away. After his grandfather's strict punishment, Troy decided to come to work today, not like he had another choice though. Staying alone in an office was boring him, so he decided to check out the new actors and actresses. As he stood at the door with Mrs. Jennie beside him, his gaze traveled around the new faces. A smile crept on his face "Hmm, good. I'm seeing a lot of beautiful faces here" he said to Mrs. Jennie "Oh, and handsome faces, also" he added. He didn't seem to have seen Mirabel, who was currently hiding behind Charlotte's back, with her gaze down, so that he doesn't see her. "Ok then" she heard Troy's voice as he made a turn and walked out of the hall. "Phew" Mirabel couldn't help but breathe out as he left, she sat down on her chair. "Hey, what's up with you?" Charlotte asked as she noticed how Mirabel had panicked a while ago. "Nothing really, I'm good. Umm, wait... is that

"You don't believe me?" Steve asked because of the look she was giving him right now. "Huh? I believe. So, your parents said you have to marry her for the reputation of the family?" Mirabel inquired, she could already deduce what might have happened after. "Yes. I'm so sorry Mirabel" Steve said with an apologetic look. "Well then" Mirabel stood up from her seat "Congratulations on your marriage, I hope you have a blissful life ahead with your wife and kid," Mirabel said sarcastically. "Umm, are you okay with it? like you have no problem" Steve asked, he was expecting her to at least look hurt a little so that he'll know she wasn't fine, and that she was still in love with him. "Of course, I'm okay, ohh... I forgot to mention, I'll also be getting married, in the next two months," Mirabel said and rose her hand to indicate the two months, also showing off her engagement ring, which didn't go unnoticed by Steve. "You are getting married?" Steve asked in shock, the news came as a su

"Hm?" Axel raised a brow in confusion when he heard her words, wasn't she the one refusing strongly at first, then why the sudden change of plans? "Let's get married," Mirabel said once again because she thought Axel didn't hear her at first. "You are sure?" Axel inquired still standing, with his gaze on Mirabel's "Yes, I'm sure," Mirabel said in certainty, honestly she doesn't know why she suddenly made such a decision but hearing the news about Steve's marriage earlier was part of the things that pushed her into this. She wanted to move on and forget about him already, and the only way she could do that was to give herself to the man standing in front of her right now. "You won't change your decision later on?" Axel asked "Yes, I won't," Mirabel said in determination. "I didn't plan on canceling it at first," Axel said to Mirabel before he went into the walk-in closet to change into his pajamas. Mirabel was left dumbstruck when she heard what he said. 'He didn't plan on canc

SCOTT'S MANSION**** "If he isn't around, isn't this the right time to strike at them?" Mrs. Scott asked her husband as they sat down in the sitting room with their daughter discussing. The news about Axel's departure to another country for business arrived to them today by Mr. Vince Stuart who was also trying methods to remove Mirabel from the picture and fit Sofia into the picture. "No, he just left today, if we do something now it would seem suspicious," Mr. Scott said in a grim tone to his wife. "Then, what are we going to do, Dad?" Sofia asked worriedly. Mr. Scott glanced at his daughter, he took a deep breath and sigh before he uttered "We would have to clear her from the picture, no matter what," Mr. Scott said sternly. This method seems to be the easiest way to the Scotts, but is it really the easiest? "Dad, which country did he go to? I have something in mind right now" Sofia said with her eyes sparkling out something mischievous. "You'll have to hold on to whatever you h
