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
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 48:
Two weeks came and passed in a blur- not exactly a blur, for Arya, it was the worst time of her life. She was bouncing between video calling her friend, Wanda, gosh, she wished she was there. She called Axel, that guy almost shot her off the roof with his 'Jesus, you are dating Devon Brookes?'She introduced Axel to Wanda all in a video call, oh bless those people who invented those stuffs. And finally, two weeks were gone, but today, she couldn't say any less that it would be fun because she was attending a wedding party.She hated weddings, oh she loved it for the couple, at least, they already fell in love and sealed their bonds, she hated weddings because of the stares, and thank goodness, her mother wasn't here, if not. She would be explaining how she knew Devon Brookes, that she wasn't the least bit ready to explain.However, Devon took her as his date, she couldn't be happier. She even set Wanda and Axel as a date for this wedding, just by remembering their scowling faces when
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 49:
Clara dragged Anna to the wedding, even though she knew her friend doesn't like weddings, she thought it was good that Kelvin wasn't tagging along, so she took Anna as her date.Today, she knew that she would see Axel, and maybe then she would be able to strike a good conversation, so she wore her best lipstick, the one that was pink, it dazzled in her lips perfectly, also, she wore the best gown her sister, Cara had picked for her. Having a Denver sister who was good with fashion paid out in its own way.Her sisters, Claire and Cara had encouraged her, well, not encouraged since their words were quite dirty."Ugh. Clara. I would rather be at home than being here." Anna huffed a breath, stomping her feet with her high heel, that she just had to wear."It's going to be okay." Clara's eyes darted around, they both stood at the far end of the party, she could hear the soothing music, why in the hell was her brain acting so feverish? She agreed with Anna. She didn't like people, she never
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 50:
When Arya was young, she wanted to be countless things, she wanted to be a writer, then, she switched it to a superhero, then she wanted to skydive for a living, even though her elder sister had called her dumb for that. Yeah, she would never forget about that.And, then her mother told her she could be anything she wanted to be: So, she decided that she would be a fashion designer, because whenever she drew designs, it brought a certain kind of flutter to her heart, a good one actually.Getting fired in Clara's clothing plaza made her lose her zeal, she forgot about everything that mattered, she didn't even tell her own mother about the job, then, she got a job in Axel's line, and she was going to be like a manger. Someone who held high hopes in the company.She would do what she loves best, drawing designs, helping out with the sewing, and the best part of it. People were going to wear her own designs, just by thinking about all those made her heart giddy."You are going to do well.
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 51:
The day had been fun for Arya, for one, Axel showed her around, and everyone was just as sweet as he was, except some were a little tiny bit grumpy. She liked grumpy peeps anyways, so she just let it slide.Imagine, when Axel was introducing her to the crew."Hi. This is Arya, she will be this department's fashion manager."And, one had snickered, obviously the blonde and said. "Fuck you, Arya."Because her mother said words were words, Arya responded."Fuck you too."Axel praised her that whole day. Later one, seeing Devon Brookes had kinda added a whirl to her happiness, she didn't know why, but something bubbled in, that feeling was warm. Nothing like whenever she saw Kelvin, but still, she loved that feeling.And when he said ring shopping, she thought he was kidding, but he wasn't. He literally took her to the best ring shop in all of New York, alongside Daphne.Whatsapp group chat: Best friends chat.*Emma changed the name to single best friends.*Arya: Okay, who in the hell cha
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 52:
"I want you to meet someone." Devon Brookes extended his hand, attempting for her to grab it. She stared at the firm hand, before she placed her hand on it. It was hard yet soft to her fingers, she felt the surge that radiated her hand down to her spine. Exactly."Who is it?" She batted her eyelashes, taking a step into the restaurant, she scanned the whole arena secretly praying not to meet anyone."My cousin." He says, like it doesn't even affect him one bit."I am sure she will be lovely." Arya pressed her lips together into a frown, why on earth had she said lovely, there were other tons of adjectives to use. Delighted? Beautiful? What was wrong with her brain?He frowns. "Trust me. She's not lovely." He blows out air.Now, Arya wants to meet her more."Arya. Darling." Arya froze, she knew that voice belonged to her most lovely friend."Emma." She pushes, her teeth gritting, when Emma Roberts, the CEO of Imperial Restaurant was here. No one stands.The woman walked towards them w
A Deal With The Billionaire Chapter 53:
Devon didn't like the expression on her face for a while. It made his heart tug really badly, who in the hell was trying to take Arya? He felt anger boil through his veins. He could see her from the side mirror, and damn, it felt like he saw some tears lingering there. He wants to be there for her, protect her, make her feel warm, but if someone was going to destroy that, he wouldn't mind destroying the person first.He drove the car, stopped the breaks as soon as he parked into their parking lot. He pushed the door open, before pulling hers.She came out, her face pale like a ghost, she was tugging at the hemline of her blue sweater, the sweater she most particularly wore every day.She gave him a faint smile, "Thanks for driving me. I will head in.""Arya." A force pulled him, he called out, scooting closer, before he scooped her into his arms for a hug, she felt so tiny, so innocent, so fragile. He stroked her hair, making sure to feel the texture, before whispering, "Anybody who

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

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

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
