Locked in the Devil's Deal
Emery is a lawyer who specialises in prenuptial agreements for wealthy people. She’s well-known for drafting the contracts earning some nicknames in the field.
Her biggest client is Darren who is a billionaire and a demon too, he is also known as the “King of underworld” because of his cruel ways.
He has such a personality that girls like to throw themselves at him but Emery is the only human woman who was never fully charmed by him in the way other human women are.
He hires her to draft his prenup before every engagement he gets into. The problem is, his relationships keep failing mainly because he isn’t over his past with Emery.
Emery and Darren were childhood friends who grew up together in a small town. They fell in love and got married too quickly, and then ended up getting divorced due to differences. But both of them weren’t able to get over each other.
Darren mainly gets into random engagements to make Emery angry but her calm nature is annoying him. Though she wants to kill every girl around him, she plays along with his tricks.
Then at last Darren will hire Emery again, but this time with a personal twist. He doesn’t tell her that the new prenup is for their relationship which would be an attempt to give their failed marriage another shot.
Emery believes it’s for yet another fiancée, and she gets involved, trying to get some personal info of Darren’s soon-to-be wives to make the contracts. In all this Darren forces Emery to revisit their own painful memories through the process.

Chapter: NewsCamilla burst into laughter as she read the news headline. "Bloggers will stop at nothing to sensationalize unverified news," she said, shaking her head. The news of her marriage was all over the news. Her face broadened with a smile of satisfaction. Everything was about falling in place. Sitting on the beach chair in the yard, she felt a cool breeze blowing through her skin. It felt very comforting. “Ma’am, the sun is down.” A maid said bowing in respect. She smiled, waving her off, she was a fan of nature and right now she wanted a natural effect that came with swimming. Camilia wondered who had let the media on the news. The positive reactions she was getting from her fans gave her a giddy feeling of happiness. Life to her was perfect, and in a few days, she would be on top of her game. She loosened the straps of her dress and headed towards the pool for a refreshing swim. The butler approached her, handing her a glass of fruit juice, complete with a straw – the same luxurious

Chapter: Saving HerEmery tensed slightly because of his words. She tried her best to mask her discomfort as she managed to keep her polite professional smile. “Of course. I understand. But I think we’ve covered the key points here.”He chuckled, but Emery felt weird because of his laugh. He was definitely not giving the right vibes. He said, “Not quite. Why don’t we continue this conversation somewhere more private? I have a suite upstairs where we won’t be interrupted.”The suggestion sent a jolt of unease through her. “I don’t think that would be necessary, I’ve said everything I came here to say.”Rourke’s smile widened like he wanted to play with her more, “You’re agood negotiator, aren’t you? I like that. But I insist. A private discussion is always more productive.”She was just about to protest further when he stood up and gestured towards the side door leading her out of the room. His whole aura was giving creepy vibes to Emery but she knew if she caused any scene there, he would use that to g

Chapter: MeetingEmery nodded as she tried her best to preparing herself mentally. “Be ready by seven,” Darren added as his eyes swept over her again. “And wear something professional. No distractions.”Her cheeks burned at the subtle jab.She tried her best to hold her ground. “Anything else?”Leaning back on his chair, Darren smirked.His expressions softened into something more thoughtful. “Just one thing,” He puased for a moment before his voice turned into a warning, Don’t forget your deal with me and if any issue occurs you can come to me immediately.”“I will,” she said nodding her head. Their eyes locked for a mere moment before Darren turned his face to the side and said, “Good, I’ll handle the arrangements. You just be ready.”Darren leaned back in his chair as his fingers started to tap rhythmically on the side armrest.His behaviour with Emery was always like he was planning something. His continuous sharp gaze on Emery made her a little confused. “You’ll be meeting Rourke at a private

Chapter: Help Comes With Conditions“Stop!” Emery blurted out as she tried her best to stay still. Her body didn’t dare to move while her heart was racing. Darren always had this effect on her; he had an ability to command her without raising his voice. It wasn’t just his words; it was his presence. The aura he radiates is far more dangerous, letting everyone around him feel intimidated.Slowly his hand slid to her waist and then to her lower back as he pushed her closer to herself, not leaving any space between them. “Do you know what I hate most about this dress?” he huskily asked, whispering near her ear. “I…” Emery tried saying something, but no words were able to come out of her mouth. “It makes me want to cancel tonight,” his hand moved further down, and Emery felt her body heating up, “so I can keep you here, where I don’t have to share you with anyone.”Her knees felt weak. If not for Darren's hold on her body, she would have fallen down up until now. “We…” She mustered up all her courage as she put both h

Chapter: His PossessivenessEmery’s fingers trembled as she grabbed the USB. “Why are you helping me?” The man looked down before he said, “Let’s just say I owed your father, and this is the only way I can repay him. Your brother is hell-bent on ruining the company that your father made with so many sacrifices. Emery knew Nick didn’t have enough potential to run a company, and she knew sooner or later the company would go bankrupt, but one thing she didn’t know was that Nick didn’t just want to make the company bankrupt; instead, he wanted to sell the company.His words hit her like a slap. “What do you mean?”The man ignored her question before saying, “You will see for yourself.”Just as he said that, he moved back and soon vanished from Emery’s sight. Emery went back to her apartment with that USB, and reaching there, she plugged it into her laptop. “I hope it’s nothing too bad.” Her heart was heavy not knowing what was coming ahead of her. Opening her laptop, she saw various files with bank statements,

Chapter: Secrets Unveiled Darren pushed himself a little back as he acting like nothing happened, “Not at all. Come, join us.” Just after saying that Darren turned his attention back to Camila. Emery felt a bit uneasy seeing that as she felt nothing but a mere pawn in the game which Darren was playing. She always tried her best to get what Darren actually wanted but that man was nothing but a puzzle who always forced her in thinking what his next step is going to be. All of them ate their dinner in silence. None of them spoke anything after that. And soon all of them got up from their seats. “Well, I hope Miss Hart is doing what I asked her to do?” Damian raised his eye brows slightly as he said with a wide smirk plastered on his face. Emery forced a professional smile on her face as she replied, “Sure!”Walking out of there she finally let out the breath she was holding in front of those people. Ring…Her phone suddenly rang and she pulled out her mobile phone from her pocket. Victor Blackwood. The na

Chapter: Why are you crying?She kept searching and could find nothing and she broke down in tears. Even if she detested what Ena usually does to her, she hated the fact that she was in this condition because of her. She cursed and cleaned her tears glistened eyes with her hands, she walked back sit down and think of what she could do and who she could meet. She had to call Mia her best friend. Mia could be of help at this point. She shuddered at the thought of what would happen to her if it was found out that she cast a spell. Not only did she cast a spell, but she also did it in the palace and to the Lycan's mate. She had experimented with the Lycan's mate. Ena must have the energy of bad luck because how else would the spell go wrong during her own time?A movement by the door stopped her in her tracks and she stood still listening. The door cracked open and Lucian emerged from behind the door. Alicia gasped as Lucian gave her a wry smile and walked up to her."I knew you would be here." He said and smirked.

Chapter: Punishment"She… she caught me in the Library and started a fight. I fought back and Bryan managed to come to the rescue and stop the fight." Alicia replied while avoiding his gaze."She wanted to report to me that you were in the Library?" Lucian asked and Alicia nods. "What were you doing in the Library, if I may ask?" He continued.Alicia exhaled as she quickly racked her brain for quick answers. She had to be careful about what lies she would tell so it wouldn't affect her in the nearest future. All this just because Ena wouldn't let her be. In as much as she was feeling guilty about her, in a way she deserved it."Get your thoughts together, Alicia. I asked a question. What were you doing in the Library?" Lucian asked.Alicia held his gaze constant and opened his mouth. "I… I was just so bored. I needed something to do and had to visit the Library. I was so engrossed in the book I was reading that I didn't know how much time had passed." She said.Lucian smirked. "Now I know the reason you

Chapter: Saved?“Why were you all marching towards my room?" Lucian asked.Alicia's eyes glistened with tears. She was so scared for Ena and wished she was alright. She shouldn't have tried out the spell in the first place. She should have gone on with Ena to Lucian. She should have accepted her fate. Now, she must have missed out a word and landed herself and Ena in trouble."She wanted to report me to you." Alicia blurted out with her head bowed down.Lucian looked at Alicia with his left brow raised and a puzzled look on his face."She wanted to report you to me?" Lucian asked and Alicia nodded slowly. "Why is that?" He asked again."Shouldn't we go check up on Ena, you both can have this conversation later?" Bryan interjected.Lucian looked at Alicia and wondered why she looked so subdued. He also wondered what Ena wanted to report that made Alicia unable to look up at his face. He was curious but Bryan was right, they had to go and check up on Ena, she was still his make even though his heart be

Chapter: Dungeon And Execution.Ena laughed and funnily shook her head. "I believe we all have some reporting to do then. Watch what happens when I report what I witnessed here to Lucian. A witch reading from the witch's spell book under the pretence that she didn't know about the laws of the palace," Ena said with a victorious and evil smile on her face."You will do no such thing, Ena!" Bryan snarled."Watch me and stop me you can," Ena retorted and the smile on her face widened.Ena felt certain that even if Lucian still had feelings for Alicia, which she knew he did, he would be unable to escape passing judgement on her which would of course be an execution. She hated the fact that Lucian was still not over Alicia. She hated the fact that he couldn't love her even when it was fated for her to be his mate and this was the perfect time to get rid of her.************Bryan knew that if Ena reported Alicia, she would be executed. He didn't understand why Ena loathed Alicia so much. He was only just getting to know

Chapter: A Lycan's MateAlicia was so tired, she yawned and took and eyes off the book. She gasped as she found out she had wasted so much time in the Library. Her hands flew to her mouth as her eyes widened in shock, she hadn't even made Lucian's dinner.She looked at the book once more and hugged it with a smile on her face. The book had become her best friend in just one day and she was going to make sure to check up on it each day and tap more knowledge. She had learnt a lot and she felt so refreshed.Alicia could hear footsteps walking towards the direction of the Library, she suddenly felt a wave of energy coarse through her and she held the book even more tighter. She was surprised at herself, she would previously cower and try to hide. She looked at the book once more and felt an unexplainable kind of Joy spreading through her.The door to the Library slowly opened and Ena emerged. Hatred was displayed on her face as she sighted Alicia. She spotted the book in Alicia's hand and ran towards her in fur

Chapter: Be The Maid Again. "I didn't run over for nothing. She is under my leadership and it was part of the Oath we took at the induction ceremony. To protect our own at all costs, and besides she is also my personal maid. I can't afford for anything to happen to her. Who would cook my favourite meals then? Not you obviously because you can't cook." Lucian repliedEdna rolled her eyes and Alicia could feel the tension building up in the "Whatever!, I have lost my appetite," Ena said and got up from the dining and stood up to leave. Alicia felt uncomfortable about the whole situation but it was amusing to Bryan because the smile never left his face. He seemed to be enjoying the whole drama.Ena took some steps away and when Lucian didn't call her or make as little as a body movement, Ena stomped back to where Louis was seated."Ever since you came back, I know you have some mischief up your sleeves," an infuriated Ena blurted out.**************They were back to the Palace and Alicia picked up her invisible m
