"yo axel,what's with the bright complexsion,you always look pale and sickly like a vampire"
Axel glared at him,he cast a reluctant look at the staircase and said"tone it down leonard,i have a guest,by the way come check on mirabel"
Leonard cast the staircase a knowing glance and followed axel,to mirabel's room.
Mirabel lay on the bed staring blankly at the curtains,she glanced at them and spoke in a weak voice"d..ad"
Axel smiled and sat beside her holding her hand while leonard checked her pulse.
Leonard sighed"we really need to find that doctor that treated her that day,she doesn't have much time left..."
Axel clenched his fists and sighed,mirabel held his hand reassuringly"don't worry dad i'm not going to die"
Axel forced a smile and followed leonard out,leonard checked his pulse,and glanced at him in disbelief.
"you actually meant it when you saidyou were able to sleep last night"
Axel nodded,leonard exhaled"you've been suffering from insomnia for so long,but you actually fell asleep without the drugs....could it be related to that guest?"
Axel frowned speaking of guest,shouldn't she be awake,he climbed the staircase in a hurry and barged in,his heart sank as he glanced at the empty room,leonard peeked from behind him and didn't see anybody.
Axel gritted his teeth"she escaped"
Leonard's eyes widened"sh...she?"as far as he knew axel detested the opposite sex,for him to bring her home she mist be someone special.
"sir,i've gotten information about the doctor that treated the young miss"
Leonard rushed over to the assistant,he was determined to see the person who surpassed him,axel calmly collected the document and read it,a smile broke out on his lips.
He muttered"looks like fate is on my side..."
Leonard screamed beside him"she's a woman?"
Axel shot him a glare and walked out.
Meanwhile,estelle succesfully sneaked into the evans family villa and made her way to her room hastilly and unnoticed,she changed into her nightgown and lay on the bed pretending to sleep.
Suddenly she heard some noise downstairs,she tousled her hair and made her nightgown messy before pressing her ear on the door.
Emily bit her lip and stared at estelle's parents"i don't know what happened to her bit i saw her enter the room with a boy"
She squeezed out some tears"please i don't want anything to happen to my cousin"
Estelle's parents stared at each other and made their way upstairs,emily smirked in triumph,she spotted estelle's brothers and quickly pretended to look pitiful,she ran upstairs and hurriedly blocked the door looking terrified.
"uncle,aunt i can't let you open the door,you are going to hurt my cousin"
She looked towards her parents and started crying desperately looking like she was really worried,Her father robert quickly put on a worried look.
"bro-in-law please let's not make a scene,estelle was just being childish"
Seeing this estelle's father,edward became angry,he pushed emily away and opened the door,emily's face shone with delight,dear cousin i hope you like my gift happy birthday,she laughed inwardly bit put on a scared face looking guilty.
Estelle stood at the doorway looking at her father with feigned confusion,her father walked past her and searched her room before turning to her.
"where is he?"
Estelle smirked inwardly,the show was about to begin"who?"
Edward frowned"the guy you were with"
"what guy?"
"don't play mind games with me you know exactly what i'm talking about"
"dad i don't understand i just woke up and i'm a bit hungover"
Emily quickly stepped forward and feigned tears"uncle edward please don't be upset with cousin,she was just fooling around"
estelle raised an eyebrow and faked tears"really...cousin you were the one who brought me to my room how could there be a man,and yesterday every guest had left if there was a man was in my room who would have been caught by the bodyguards before he escaped.....gasp...could it be you are framing me?...but...but...how could you do this?"
She burst into tears and ran into her mothers arms,emily was confused wasn't she the one who should play the role of the white lotus?..what was going on.
Edward's face darkened as he approached emily,emily shivered in fright her mother quickly stepped forward and shielded her this made edward more furious.
"move aside anna"
Anna didn't budge"stella it was just a misunderstanding surely you wouldn't hold it against emily"
Stella stared at estelle in her arms and glanced at edward pleadingly,anna was her sister and emily is her neice there was no need to take things further.
Edward sighed"security give het five lashes"
The security pulled emily and no one dared to stop them,emily glared at estelle hatefully,estelle smiled and muttered to her"this is just the beginning"
Edward shook his head and left,stella quivkly followed him,robert gave estelle a deep look before leaving with anna,estelle glanced at her motionless brothers and rolled her eyes.
"Aren't you leaving?"
They glanced at each other and left quietly....
