The Devil behind me Chapter 83
Days ran into weeks and finally, the end of the month approached, Catherine walked into Steve's company majestically, her hair cascading down with pride and her low heels making sounds on the floor. "Good afternoon, ma'am" an employee greeted her and Catherine nodded in response. This was the type of life she wanted and wished for, whereby she would have people see her and address her with respect, and the only way this could happen is if she makes it into the Jim family. Catherine arrived at a door, opened it, and walked inside. Steve was there, standing close to the window as he stared outside. On hearing the door open and the sound of shoes that approached him, he turned around, and his gaze landed on Catherine who was looking at him with a smile. "Steveee," Catherine said and tried to hug Steve but he ignored her acting like he didn't know as he walked from there and went to sit down on his office chair. Catherine cleared her throat before she sat down on the couch "What are yo

****** Axel sat down in his office and suddenly received a call from his grandfather who requested he comes home immediately. He stood up from his swiveling chair and walked towards the door to head to Stuart's mansion, but before he could open the door, a knock was heard from outside. Moving back a little bit, he opened the door and came face to face with Marcel. Axel didn't stop so he walked past his assistant. Marcel took that as a hint that he should follow him. "What's it?" Axel asked as they arrived at the parking lot before he could enter the car. "We submitted the papers to Jim's mansion earlier today," Marcel said reminding his boss of the assignment he had given them. "Good. What's my schedule like later on?" Axel inquired. Marcel checked the time on his wristwatch, it was 4:00 PM already "Dinner with Mr. Angelo around 8 PM. Meeting with RAIZ, a small-scale company that wants to be sold, and then your Flight to Country D around 10:00 PM" Marcel said in one go without st

Axel arrived at the Stuart mansion, he walked inside and went upstairs straight to his grandfather's room. He gave a slight knock as he stood outside the door. "Come in, Axel" the old man uttered from inside as he already knew who was there. Axel opened the door and walked into the study room, he saw his grandfather standing close to the window as he stared outside. Before he could say a thing, Old Master Stuart uttered, breaking the silence "Where's Mirabel?" "She traveled to ARION for filming" replied Axel, he stood inches away from his grandfather, his two hands in his pocket. The old man took a deep breath as if what he was about to say would weigh a lot. And it did "We might have to cancel your wedding with her" he suddenly said out of the blue. A date has been set already but he just realized something which might cause harm in the future, and this made him doubt whether a marriage should still be held for the two or not. Axel's gaze narrowed as he faced his grandfather "Wh

****** Arabella walked toward the exit of the airport as she had just returned, she had been on a trip with her co-flight attendants for the past few weeks but they all returned today. With her bag hung on her shoulders and her little box which she rolled effortlessly on the floor, her phone was in her hands as she was making a call. "Yeah, you have to ask Maddy about that, she informed me that she would report back to the other station today," Arabella said to the other person with whom her call was connected. Arabella halted in her steps as if thinking about something. "I'll make a call to her then, to make things easier" Arabella uttered "Nah, no need. You are welcome. Ok then, bye" she said before she finally disconnected the call. She walked outside the airport and stood there waiting for a taxi, she wasn't sure where she should head to now. Whether her apartment or she should go straight to her mom. After a few minutes of contemplating, she decided to go to her apartment fi

Days went by and weeks ran out, and it was finally the last day of filming, it was on the 19th of the month already. Mirabel and the crew members were getting ready to shoot the last scene which involved the burying of Lady Penelope and Patricia. Mirabel sat down on a chair glancing around the place as they all waited for the director's voice to commence. "I feel like this filming ended too fast, I didn't even enjoy myself that much" Mirabel heard Leon utter from nowhere as he came to stand by her side. Hearing his words, she rose her head to the side and rolled her eyes at him, to her, the shooting for this movie felt like it took too much time "No comment on that" she said to Leon and turned her gaze elsewhere. It landed on senior Ace. As usual, he sat down alone far from the others 'Seems like he has no friends and also hates noise' Mirabel thought because for the past few weeks, they'd all spent together, she noticed that he always liked staying alone far from others and she h

Mirabel who was sleeping soundly in her hotel room was suddenly woken up by the disturbing sound from her phone as someone was calling repeatedly. She groggily picked up the phone from the bedside table and answered without checking who was calling. "Hello?" "I reserved a seat for you, aren't you coming again?" Leon's voice resounded from the other end of the call. It was at this moment that Mirabel realized she had been sleeping for hours as the time was already 9:46 PM. "Umm, when is it finishing?" asked Mirabel as she stood up from the bed with the phone to her ear. "Probably by ten" Leon answered. "Oh, well then, there is no need for me to come again" she reasoned with him. "The Director inquired about you earlier " Leon informed. "Just tell them I'm sick and can't make it" "Ok, will do. Goodbye," Leon said before the call ended. Mirabel was still tired, so she dropped her phone on the table and lay back on the bed, slowly dozing off. ******* NEXT DAY, MORNING All the
The Devil behind me Chapter 89
In a silent dark room, Mirabel who had been sleeping for hours finally opened her eyes, "Mmh mmh" she made mumbling sounds as she woke up in an unfamiliar place, her mouth was tied to not enable her from screaming for help. This wasn't the hotel room, so where is this? She was tied to a pole and was standing on her feet which were also tightened. Her panic breathing increased as she looked around the room but couldn't see a thing. Mirabel felt like crying, where was she? the last she remembered was laying back on the bed to sleep but wait a minute... Mirabel closed her eyes as she tried to remember what had transpired last. ****EARLIER*** She had woken up to the sound she was hearing in her hotel room, but when she stood up from the bed to check what it was, someone came out of nowhere, covered her nose with strong arms, and gripped her hard, she tried to escape from the tight grip but no, she was too weak for the person. She was held tightly behind her back, she couldn't make an

Axel carried Mirabel in his arms and took her outside, her hands were tightly wrapped around him. "Sir, the first man had escaped" Lucas reported to his boss who just came out with the young lady in his arms. Axel turned to face his brother who was just coming out from the room "Tell the team that Mirabel is okay and they can leave" Troy nodded as he heard his brother's words, and he immediately brought out his phone to make a call. "Don't allow the second man to escape, do whatever you have to do to make him spill out the name of the person who sent them," Axel told Lucas in a grim tone " Ok, sir" Axel hopped into the jet with Mirabel. A few minutes later they took off from there, everything was completely okay and silent for a moment till Mirabel who had been sitting gently on Axel's lap suddenly moved. "Axel" she whispered close to his ear. "Mm," he responded but Mirabel didn't say a thing after. How was she going to explain to him how she was feeling, her body was suddenly g
