A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 40:
First things first: Scream. As loud as you can, do it now, Arya, but no, not today fucking mouth, I am going to behave, because that's what I do.Devon squeezed her hand, and she stared up to look at his tired yet attractive face, his lips parted to say something, but then he shut it back.Was he nervous?She didn't believe it. Devon fucking Brookes was actually nervous for the first time. Is meeting his father a bad thing after all?She would just ask, and fuck the consequences."Are you okay?" She asked softly.He wasn't looking at her, but staring straight ahead, "I haven't seen my father in like years. He's always busy." His nose screeched, before scoffing."Do you like your father?" He seemed surprised- no, quite baffled that she asked such a question.He stared at her. Blinking."I mean." She shrugged, "I like my father, do you?""I don't know." He finally responded and she didn't even count how many seconds it took for him to say that word.She stared at the restaurant, absolu
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 41:
Devon couldn't think on the way home, his mind flashed across his parents, then Arya's words, like she meant every word she had said.He never believed words anyways, it brought him nothing but pain, the day he believed someone's words, everything crashed down for him. He thought it was normal, but then, they left him, to deal with his complicated life as it was.He wanted to cry that day- but he was Devon Brookes, so he just pushed the tears back to where they belonged, and that seemed to work pretty well.But now, hearing her soothing voice, she wanted to be family. Did he even know what family was? He had one then, but now, it was just a word that meant nothing to him.Pronto. Simple.He bursted the door of his bedroom open, before plunging towards the bed, he kicked his shoes away, his father's words replaying into his brain.His father was going to force him to go to Paris as an honeymoon, well, fuck that, because he wasn't going anywhere.Talking of his father, his phone chimed
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 42:
Devon loved two things about his office: first, the gigantic view that accompanied his window, stretching far from the other side, also, the peace of comfort it brought whenever he was in his office.Today was another busy day, not for him actually, all he was going to do today was check some emails, sign some deals, and.. go home. Because, now he had someone waiting for him."Sir?" The wind breezed someone into his office, Deanne, his assistant, trudged in carefully, "Shall I get you something to eat?"He stared up from his laptop, completely dazed- at himself, because he already ate breakfast, normally, his assistant got him something from the restaurant nearby, but today.. He didn't need any food."It's okay." He added. "I already ate."He caught the surprise in her face, but it faded away in seconds, "Alright." She looked round the office, before bowing, suddenly escaping the room.His eyes moved back to the laptop, working magic on the keyboards. He had a rule whenever he was at
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 43:
Arya enjoyed her morning with friends, but not when her friends made her life a living hell, oh, she absolutely hated that part.For some reasons, it just didn't click.Emma giggled underneath the table, before laughing. "Arya. Tell us everything!""I would rather not." She shrugged, Emma, her friend had one thing, she could make people say the truth just by looking at her with those witchy cute eyes."Tell me!" Yeah, those eyes that were now peering into her soul, probing her to say something.It was another thing for Arya to accompany her friends to the mall, another thing for them to stop in one of the stalls and have pizza and coke.Emily, Arya's friend, toddled with her phone, giggling like an idiot.Arya's eyes widened. "Emily, what are you doing?""Playing with your husband." Emily laughed again, before whispering on the phone. "Oh. Hubby.""Dani!" Arya flared, one thing she knew, her friend hated whenever they used her second name on her, perfectly, Danika was her first name, b
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 44:
How in the fuck was someone supposed to be taken care of? Devon had never done this in all his life before, they did it for him, and by them, he only referred to one person.As soon as they reached the house, he carried her all the way upstairs, and made her stay put in the bed (she wanted to fly out)Then, he brewed some soup, just the way his mother used to do it. Sizzling seaming soup, then, he rushed upstairs, and found a nearby chair pulling it towards the bed."Open your mouth." He ordered, suddenly feeling the surge of control, the morning, she did that, it's my turn now!She squeezed her face into a frown, that frown he did not like. "I really don't like stressing you this way, shouldn't you be at the office?""I canceled my schedule." He dug the spoon into the soup, before blowing the seam away. "Now, open your mouth."She grunted. "I would rather jump off the cliff than drink that,""Arya." He said calmly, before fiddling with the spoon, "You don't have to drink it okay.""T
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 45:
The next day, Devon attended the fucking interview, he wasn't even supposed to be there, but he was. Helping his wife attend the interview.Of course, she had no idea because the way she talked about the job, he thought she was really really invested in it. Also, he learnt that she got fired in one of her former jobs, so, if he could get her this job, she would be excited, and that was enough.The moment his feet brushed the rug of Axel's fashion line, at least, that's what the sign read, he tucked his phone, dialing a number."Oh my goodness!" The voice boomed into his ears, so much he wanted to take that back, "Devon Brookes finally called him in like forever, what's up, cos?""Don't call me that." His jaw ticked."Oh." The snap of fingers was heard from the other hand, before the voice laughed again, "Whatever. What's up, Devon?""I am okay." He began walking towards the sign that read 'Interview line' who cares?"I might need your help." He took a deep breath, talking to his cousi
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 46:
That night, Arya couldn't sleep, she kept rolling on her bed, glancing at the wall countless times. Her phone chimed countless times, she switched it off. She was already dealing with an injured leg, she couldn't deal with friends either.That didn't make her a bad person, because she would just call them back, Devon, he was never here with her. He wasn't even at home.She grasped the clutches beside her and made to walk outside the room, letting out a gentle sound so the butler wouldn't hear her. Gently, she tiptoed over to a room. It was dark in there so she had to switch on the lights."Oh. My. God." She breathed in, letting her crutches lead the way, the room was basically empty with a few paintings and some mugs, she moved closer, crouching her brows.It was the same picture she saw in his room the other day, Except this time. The woman was sitting down elegantly on a black sofa, her hands stretched out to two little boys, their hair was literally the same cut, the both had a fro
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 47:
Arya scowled at the curtains, surprisingly mornings were not her thing, especially when she was stuck with injured legs and crutches."Arya." Her elder sister, Samantha joined her staring at the curtains with her. "Are you taking your meds?""Hell no." She stood there, watching how the curtains flickered against the wind.Samantha closed the notebook in her hand and sighed wearily. "I am only here to make sure you are okay, unfortunately, I have better things to do at 9:00am." Arya scoffed at her little sister.Sam wore a grumpy smile, before ruffing her younger sister's hair, "So childish.""Hey!" Arya stretched her hand forward, letting out a ruffle of laughter. "Don't do that."Mantha released her hand, placing it back where they belong, "My little sister is already growing up, look at her already married to Devon Brookes."Arya turned to face her sister, a gloomy expression on her face. "I am sorry." She whispered."For what?" Her sister leaned in, folding her arms, and pushing he

The next week, Arya had been trying her best to piece back the puzzle, who really was Devon? The little boy in the photo?This morning over breakfast, he had clearly told her: "Arya, I know this is overwhelming, but please. Don't dig into anything, okay? Some things are better left untouched."The way he said it panged her heart, he didn't want her to get in trouble, he cared for her, she cared for him also, but some cases are not better left untouched, that was why she sneaked into that room again, switching on the lights.It looks dustier than last time, sprawls of cobwebs hanging in one corner, still it looked fresh, like someone was coming here everyday, making sure everywhere was accurate.She walked over to one of the paintings, before gently removing the tarp, the painting stared at her.She's really talented. Arya thought she could imagine his mother seated on her favorite seat in the garden, while gently stroking the edges of the paintbrush on the dry template.When Arya aske
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 62:
Devon could see clearly the woman that walked over to him, her gown was hanging on her body ever so perfectly, and her hair was toppled with pins, held perfectly like an England queen.He wants to go over to her and wrap his hands around her, whisper sweet nothing into her ear, and just hold her."Um.. Hi." She was in front of him, her voice nearly squeaking, it's a masquerade party, so she's wearing her mask. Still, he could see those silver eyes twinkling under the dim light."Arya." He breathed, she made him this. And he freaking loved that, "Shall we dance?""I don't dance well." She whispered under the light, she could feel everyone's gaze following her. They would probably be thinking.'Oh. Who's the mysterious lady beside Devon Brookes?''Is that the girl he kissed the other day at the restaurant?''Oh my. I can't believe this.'Devon pulled her closer, she could smell the sweet scent of his aftershave, something about his presence was tempting, muscular and his cologne. It tra
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 61:
18 Years Ago.The weather was just fine for a nice evening relaxation. The woman with chestnut hair grazed her feet on the beach sand, for some time now. She just loves doing this.Staring at the way the water topples itself into a wave, giving her the thrill she wants."Guys!" She waves her hand, just so her sons could see her. They were staring with no particular interest, seated on the blanket spread on the sand. "At least have some fun." Her face is pressed into a smile.So sweet and fucking perfect.One of the boys groaned, his hair tossed between his face. "Tell Devon to leave me alone!""Devon!" The woman cries out. "Leave your brother alone!"The boy stares with no interest, his eyes as grim as the settling sun, "I did nothing to him!""Yeah. Right." The other boy jerks his elbow."Guys stop fighting." The woman sighed, before running over to them, guessing she would have to cancel this beach thing. Those two never found something they agreed on.•••Devon."Arya. Can we at le

Arya woke up with a headache.She swirled up from the bed, her head banging. She forced her brain to recap what happened. Holy Shit. She was drunk.She squeezed her feet into those flip-flops and headed downstairs, her hair messy, her face sinking. Her breath was so rowdy."What happened?" Were they already in Paris? Their plane was supposed to fly to Paris yesterday.But then she glanced around, she recognized the room decor and sighed, they were still in New York.She felt relieved."Hey." That towering figure was right before her again.Blood pumped through her heart, "Devon?" Was it growing hot in here, because it definitely felt like it. "The plane is leaving today. Are you ready?""Weren't we supposed to leave yesterday?" Her throat soured.His brows crouched together in defeat. "Yes, but you were tired, so I postponed it to today."She gazed up to look at him, he looked nice in his gray sweatpants. Damn, she was ogling him."You did that...?" She asked. Doubt flooding through

"Are you sure you need that?" Devon watched in sheer amusement. His hands are folding together."Yeah, I am sure." She lunged a dress right into the bag.He ducked, before widening his eyes, he knew that women became a monster when they were packing, but not like this. This woman was the she-devil."Arya. I think that-" She cut him off, her eyes sending blaring warnings into his chest."Okay, okay, I think I get it now." She rolls her head playfully.He should smile at her, that seems acceptable, but instead he found himself frowning, those lips pressed into a deep scowl."Arya. You can take anything you need."She lets out an hallow laughter. "Who said I wouldn't?"••Thirty minutes later. Arya found herself surrounded by her friends. Their eyes flying over to the glass of whiskey and then to her.Five. Four."Arya, you almost got killed?!""Someone's trying to kill you?!""What in the hell?""Why didn't you tell us?""Fucking bullshit."Arya dragged her hands over her lips, before s
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 58:
Arya felt like she was being followed.It felt different when she was little that her sister and her played hide and seek, her sister would always follow her and boom. She was caught, she was never good at that game anyways.But today, something kept telling her that she was in for something dangerous.Something so cold, she might not even be able to breathe.As she stepped on the breaks, she stared ahead at the plaza that filled her sight. She was at work, what possibly could go wrong?As she ambled along the halls, some workers greeted her with a cheerful tone.She responded not so cheerfully."Oh. Good morning," She could feel that burn in the back of her neck, something that told her she was being watched, but how? Who? When?Leto's words boomed into her memory, someone was trying to fucking kill her, but who?As she walked towards her office, she could feel that feeling. That dark one that wavered in when you knew you were in trouble.She closed the door of her office, and walked
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 57:
Clara was supposed to be working at her firm, but here she was, staring like an idiot in a restaurant for people who dated.She actually didn't. She may or may not have been tracking me, and right now, he was supposed to walk in here any time from now, she glanced at the door. Five, four.She held her breath tightly. God, please don't let me be too handsome today, her prayer failed because the man that walked into the room was the epitome of beauty.His grace flooded the room. Her heart jerked just like in highschool when he would look so good, with his friends, not even attempting to spare her a glance.Though she had this huge crush on him then, they never talked, maybe except once when he asked her the schedule for the exam, and she replied so shyly.This was definitely not a good meet-cute.She sighed heavily, feeling like a total idiot, she waved the menu towards her face just so they wouldn't see her. Her heart tore.There he was.Her crush.Hands tightened around a woman's.Her
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 56:
How to drain your life away- first of all, never, like never encounter your ex-boyfriend in a very private place. E.g, being a supermarket while you are picking oranges, and boom. He's right there, clutching the basket like his life depends on it."Arya?" His voice is still the same as it was years ago, filled with ego and confidence, just the way he thought he could win anything with just a tap of his fingers.Pathetic.She mid-froze, the orange still wrapped around her arm, just a little more movement, and the fruit would be flying straight into her basket, but no, instead. She's wrapping it so hard, she thought she might snap it.Dear God. Was she going to snap an innocent orange just because of her ex?Nope."Kelvin," Suddenly, breathing became so easy, after everything that happened, she imagined what she would do if she ever happened to accidentally meet him. Alone.But now, she didn't need to think about those words she was going to say, because some certain rush of energy fill
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 55:
"Arya. You really don't have to do this." Devon's prickly, mild morning voice made her skin rinse up.When has breathing become this hard? Swallow, in and out.She pushed the bowl of batter, before squeezing the wooden spoon around her hand. "I insist, after all, you did bring me lunch yesterday." She would never mention the part of the note. She couldn't even imagine what he would say.He was quiet, his eyes scanning her rough morning hair, again she was not an early morning kind of person, she wondered why her hair always looked like a nest. Her face rough, and her pale silk nightgown that stopped right below her knee.He was already dressed, ready for the day, while she was sulking, trying to get the sausages out of the pan.He was rolling up his sleeve, his eyes never leaving hers."What are you doing?" She asked, mildly impressed but took the seconds to admire the biceps that poked underneath his shirt, her heart almost rolling out.What in the hell was wrong with her?He scooted
