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

Little young Mirabel could be seen walking around the corridors of a place, presumably a hospital, she moved from one door to the other in search of a room. After a long walk, she paused on her steps as she reached a certain door that read ROOM 25A. She could hear voices from inside, more like whispers, Mirabel peeped through the glass window where she could see someone from inside. Her eyes landed on a figure that sat down on the bed, with his back against her, so she couldn't see his face clearly. The other person wasn't in her line of sight, but she knew that there were two people in there. "If you keep this up, you'll end up dying. You know well about your condition but you are being adamantly stubborn" Mirabel heard a voice from inside, which seemed to be reprimanding someone. She had only come here because the stranger said Room 25A, and she was curious about what he wanted to say to her "If death wishes to come by easier, I'll humbly accept it" the familiar voice of the pers

STUART'S MANSION** "Father, there is no need to rush up the marriage, why did you choose the next two months for them?" Vince Stuart asked as he sat down with Old Master Stuart in his study room. The study was silent for a few minutes before the old master rose his head up from the newspaper he was reading "Have you confronted the Scotts? that Axel wouldn't marry their daughter cause he already has a fiancee which he would get married too soon?" the old master answered Vince with a question. "Father, you know that isn't what I'm talking about, there's no need to rush them, that's all I'm saying," Vince said in a calm tone trying to convince his father. "That isn't what you are talking about but that is what I want to talk about. And if you have no positive answer to my question then leave my study right away" the old master said firmly. Vince gazed at his father, he took a deep breath and opened up "I am Axel's father, I have the right to make decisions for him. And I'll keep on s

Axel paced to his grandfather's room and gave a slight knock as he arrived at the door. "Yes, come in" the old master's voice rang out from inside. Axel opened the door and went into the study room. Old Master Stuart who seemed to have been reading rose his head up. "The pain keeps on becoming unbearable," Axel muttered as he made his way to the couch and sat on it. "Isn't that what you wanted from the beginning? You yearned for death right from the start" The old man said in a rigid tone. Axel pressed his lips together, the past was different from the present but his grandfather was the type to bring back old tears "That was what I had wanted, but not anymore, grandfather" he said in a solemn tone "Well... past actions still come around to haunt your future at times," Old Master Stuart said. Axel didn't say a word, he knew how right his grandfather was, he gave a loud sigh "The pills..." Axel started but paused as he saw the glare his grandfather was giving him "I overdosage a

"Did you miss me?" the oh-so-familiar voice uttered out "Huh? Leon? what are you doing here?" Mirabel asked a row of questions because of how shocked she was. This was the last person she would have ever expected to see in this place. "Hey, I asked a question first, shouldn't you at least give me a reply" Leon complained with his deep stares at her. "When did you ask a question?" Mirabel asked confusedly, she don't remember hearing a question from him. Leon face palmed himself as he heard her words "I said did you miss me?" he asked again. "Oh... is that the question? No, I didn't miss you" she mumbled to his hearing "Now answer my questions," Mirabel said. "Ouch... not even a little?" Leon asked with a slight hope in his eyes, but Mirabel shook her head negatively as a sign that she didn't. "I doubt you need answers to your question. Anyway, I'm off, I came here for a reason, that's all you should know for not missing me" Leon said and walked past her. "Huh?" Mirabel stood st

"So, where exactly are we heading to?" Charlotte asked Mirabel as they had been walking around since with no destination. "I thought you were taking me somewhere," Mirabel said with squinted brows. "And I thought the same," Charlotte said "Whatever, let's just return, I'm sure she should have left our seat by now," she said as she held Mirabel's hands to lead her to the RAAH. As they approached, Mirabel suddenly got a call from her manager and she had to divert to Ms. Rosie's office, while Charlotte decided to head to her manager's office also, so they parted ways. As Mirabel approached the door before she could enter, someone suddenly came from nowhere and tapped her shoulders "Hello" the voice said. "Leon, what is it again?" she asked as she recognized the voice. Mirabel turned around and her eyes met Leon's who was staring down at her "Ohh, I'm leaving already and I happened to see you over here so I decided to say goodbye," he said "Wait, you are taking me for a nuisance or w

The mother and daughter were the only ones at home with the maids who had prepared the meals already. "Mom, you just told me to come home for dinner, you didn't say there would be guests invited also" Arabella shouted from her room before she walked out to the sitting room. "Must I tell you everything, and besides the visitors aren't much, just very few of them" Arabella's mother who was sitting down in the sitting room uttered. "Still... I don't even have a dress to don, can't you just skip me out of the dinner" Arabella said, trying to find ways that would make her mom lose interest In whatever meal they were going to have later. "Why would I even think of skipping you out, when the dinner is being held mainly because of you? Since you aren't ready to find and bring home a suitor, so you ca

"Welcome Stephen" she heard her mother say as the young man also walked in. "What in the world!"... Arabella muttered as her gaze met his, was he...? She couldn't even get her words complete any longer as she stood there, star-struck. " Momm..." she trailed as she came back to her senses and glanced in her mother's direction. "Are they?" Arabella asked and received a nod from her mother. "Yes, these are the guests I was talking about" She heard her mother say, Arabella came back to her senses and greeted them but her thoughts were going haywire and in turmoil "Good evening, sir, ma" she greeted respectfully with a forced smile. "Dad, I thought you said we were visiting a friend," Stephen asked in confusion after he had greeted. He was in his office yesterday when his father suddenly called him and told him to come home because they were visiting a friend the next day.
