A Deal With The Devil Chapter Fifty-Seven – Daniella In The Same Soup
Brynne’s heart skipped a beat when he locked the door after the makeup artists left. “What is it, Luke?”He smiled and walked towards his luggage. “I wanted to give you something.”All the excitement left her heart. She knew what he was looking for.The legal documents which were the prenuptial and the deal agreement. She was uselessly hoping for a happily ever after with him.Her throat felt choked with emotions as she sat on the bed to support her trembling legs. She didn’t want to sign a contract with him. She wanted to beg him to give her a chance to prove her love. Would he change his mind if she confessed her love for him?Brynne couldn’t look in his direction as she picked up her veil and inspected it absent-mindedly.“Brynne.” She turned slowly to hold his gaze. Strangely, he looked beyond excited; his mood having improved a lot. She wondered what brought about the change. “These are for you.”Her gaze dropped to his hands. She frowned at the velvet box he held out to her. Did

“Oh my gosh, Brynne! Is it really you?” gasped Daniella melodramatically, swooning at the sight of Brynne, ready in her bridal attire.Brynne blushed at her friend’s reaction. Slowly, she turned to see her reflection in the floor-length mirror.“I’m feeling so jealous, Brynne. I could do anything to wear that wedding gown. It’s so romantic!” Julia gasped while the friends chuckled at their friend’s state.“I swear Cupid has targeted you today. No wonder you’re looking for romance everywhere, Julia,” chuckled Daniella.Brynne listened to their mindless banter absent-mindedly, focusing more on her reflection now. The lace and tulle dress with a sweetheart neckline and a full illusion button-down back was perfect. It looked more beautiful now than when she had tried it on.“I love the jewelry more. I don’t remember you had this set,” said Daniella, inspecting her bracelet, earrings, and pendant.“No, they belong to Luke’s mom. He gave them to me.”Julia gasped and clasped her hands toget

The sun had already set and the entire property was lighted up to celebrate the wedding reception at the magnificent ballroom. Holding hands, they strolled towards the venue, lost in their magical bubble. There was excitement in the air, or was it in their hearts? With the children, under Vera Sylvester’s care, Brynne could relax and enjoy her wedding party.“Did you mean what you said?” Luke couldn’t stop himself. Her vows echoed in his head, already engraved in his heart. He had to know if she had just picked the lines up from somewhere.“About what?” Brynne feigned ignorance, unable to confess her true feelings for him. What if he considered her stupid? He had offered her a simple deal. Definitely, falling in love wasn’t a part of it. Yet she had.“You know. Your vows.” Brynne glanced in his direction to see his discomfort. The faint flush on his cheeks was an unbelievable feat. Was the Devil blushing?“Yes. I just said what came to my mind.” She wanted to say more, but shyness gri

The moment Brynne entered the ballroom, she gasped with surprise. There were guests everywhere. Some were Luke’s relatives, while the others were Grandpa’s friends and staff from their office. It seemed there were a lot more guests than they expected. Even Carla and her gang were there, enjoying themselves at the bar. Strangely, they steered clear of her this time. The office crowd, Eric, Daniella, Julia, and Adrian, whisked her away for a moment and Luke smiled, releasing her and joining his grandpa. “Brynne, congratulations,” said Ted.“Thanks.” She felt awkward to receive so much attention. “Will you stop working now that you’re the boss’s wife?” asked Eric.Brynne considered the question for a second. She hadn’t thought about it at all. “No, I’ll continue working.” She smiled, but deep in her heart, she wasn’t so sure. What if Luke stopped her from going to work? She would have to clarify it soon. She watched Luke scowling as he talked to his grandpa. Was he upset about somethi

Everything happened like a dream, the toasts, the exotic dinner, and the cake-cutting ceremony. Afterward, Brynne posed for a selfie with her friends before the party ended. Luke appeared from nowhere and stood before her with a furious scowl on his face. Now what had she done? “Brynne, come here.” Adrian released her, and she smiled at her friends. “I’ll see you in the office on Monday.” “Sure. Thank you, sir, for having us here. Congratulations on your wedding. It was a grand party,” said Ted, the only one with the guts to speak to Lucien Sylvester. “Yes, thank you, sir,” Eric followed.“Thank you.” Luke gripped Brynne’s hand and led her away from her friends. Brynne could feel his fury resonating in his actions. What was wrong with him? He was fine all evening. He pulled her along, away from the ballroom, towards the elevator. Brynne knew what was cooking in his mind. But why did he need to follow caveman tactics? She would willingly oblige. “What’s wrong with you, Luke? You’

Overwhelmed by his confession, she placed her arms around his neck and gazed back at him. “And you’re mine, only mine.”He raised an eyebrow at her. “Then let me claim you as mine. I want to brand my name on every inch of your body.” He picked her up in his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist as he walked towards the bedroom.The heady scent of roses hit Brynne’s nose when she entered the room. She opened her delirious eyes to see the room and the bed, beautifully decorated with fresh red roses. The ambiance of the room was so romantic, it took her breath away. It was far more than what she had expected.He set her down and watched her with hooded eyes. Standing before him, clad in a pair of flimsy undergarments, she was a sight to behold. He could clearly see the lust in her gorgeous eyes.“Strip for me, my dearest wife.” A strange satisfaction coursed through his body at the mention of the word. It seemed he now had total control over her mind, heart, soul, and body.She obeyed

Luke smiled, watching her intently, trying hard to gauge the intensity of her feelings. He wanted to believe her, but his heart knew otherwise. There was nothing called love in this world. Women only needed two things from him: money and se*. If he didn’t have money, no one in their right senses would want him. Something clicked shut in his brain and the old distrust resurfaced. In his experience, no woman had ever fallen in love with him until Brynne came along. Who could love a devil like him? How could she fall in love with him in such a short time? No, she was trying to gain entry into his life forever. She wanted this luxurious life that he could give her. Surely, it had nothing to do with love. “I believe in proving your feelings through your actions. It’s very easy to say, but impossible to prove.” He eased off her, the magic lost. Pulling on his clothes, he was about to go out when his gaze fell on the shattered look on Brynne’s face. Brynne blinked at the weird man. She ha

Brynne checked her reflection for the last time before rushing out of the honeymoon suite. After Luke’s heartfelt explanation, begging her to give him a chance, all was normal between them. Brynne had forgiven him and agreed to go on a date with him. A blushing, radiant woman’s reflection stared back at her. She could hardly recognize herself. “Brynne, are you done?” Luke’s impatient voice made her roll her eyes. Nothing had changed between them. He was still possessive, obsessive, and an impossible husband. She rushed out to the lobby, where Luke was waiting for her. “Where are the children? Have you informed them?” “They’ve gone fishing with Grandpa. Don’t worry about them. I’ve informed Grandpa.” He grabbed her hand and led her out of the clubhouse to a car waiting for them. However, Brynne couldn’t relax. She wanted to see the children before leaving to ensure they were fine. But Luke seemed to be in a strange mood since morning. What was wrong with him?Soon they were on the

A Deal With The Devil Epilogue
Two days went by in the blink of a eye. Both were under a spell of love to realize how time flew by. Brynne’s sickness and nausea vanished miraculously and was replaced by a feeling of bliss. It was a honeymoon in the true sense of the term. They didn’t need an exotic location or a five-star resort to connect to one another’s soul. The deluxe double bedroom at Queen’s Lodge was enough to make memories of a lifetime.Luke had been gentle, ensuring her comfort first. It made her fall for him all over again. She hadn’t seen this side of his nature ever. He had always been reckless, wild, and hungry. This was a new side to his nature.“You’ve grown curvier, I think.” He covered her body with his, touching and stroking her, feeling her lumpy breasts. “Pregnancy suits you.” His mouth found her breast, and he tugged her taut nipple into his hot mouth.Brynne gasped with pleasure, holding his head to her breast as he sucked. A raw need coursed through her body, making her grow even wetter.“I
A Deal With The Devil Chapter Seventy-Two - His Love
Brynne's heart thumped wildly in its cage as she waited for Luke’s explanation. What the hell did he mean? If her love wasn’t unrequited, then what? He didn’t love her. It was only physical desire accompanied by a motive. Now his desire was met and his motive had been fulfilled. He threw her out, only to pursue her. It made no sense. If he had loved her, he would have trusted her, stood by her and confessed his love for her.“Of course, it is unrequited. I’ve never hidden my feelings from you, Luke. But you never believed me nor loved me back.” She released a staggering breath and looked away.He leaned closer and placed a finger under her chin to force her to meet his honest gaze. “You’re wrong, Brynne. If you remember, I have always chased you since the moment I saw you. You had me under a spell, which might have been love at first sight. Only I was too blind to realize it. I couldn’t resist you. Yet I was afraid to commit, to trust and, you know why. My bitter experiences with Celi
A Deal With The Devil Chapter Seventy-One – His Apology
Luke rushed inside, panicking at the sight of his wife. “Damn! I knew it.” He crouched to Brynne’s level and patted her cheeks. “Brynne, wake up. I’m here to take you home.” There was no response. Luke gave the staff a stressed look. “Help me revive her. I need water.”He rushed to the table nearby to get a bottle of water. Luke sprinkled a little on Brynne’s face and she stirred, opening her dazed eyes and focusing on him blankly. He lost his patience. Getting up, he picked her up in his arms and turned to the clueless staff. “Can you get her luggage? I’m taking her home.” The staff nodded and collected Brynne’s belongings. Luke could feel her lost gaze on him, but he couldn’t meet her eyes. Guilt washed over him at seeing the condition she was in. What would have happened if he hadn’t arrived on time? He shuddered at the thought.“Luke, put me down. I’m not going anywhere with you.” Her words brought him back to reality, and he looked down at her. The staff stopped collecting h
A Deal With The Devil Chapter Seventy – Where Was Brynne?
Luke slumped into a chair nearby, feeling totally devastated. Adam and Miranda shared looks of pity. “What have I done? How could I believe Celine? I should have known.” He covered his face in despair. Miranda brought him some water to get a grip on himself while Adam sat opposite his ex-employer. Although he hated his boss for everything he had done to destroy his life and career, he didn’t show it. “Have some water, please. You can call Brynne and apologize, Mr. Sylvester.” Luke looked up at the helpful couple he had unknowingly wronged for no fault of theirs. Adam wasn’t into Brynne and never could be. He loved Miranda a lot the way he loved Brynne. He understood now what it meant to love someone. There couldn’t be anyone else but the one you loved. It should be the same for Brynne, too. “Thank you.” He accepted the water. The cool liquid went down his system and he felt a little better. “Brynne has switched her phone off. I went to her house. She hasn’t been there at all. Ted g
A Deal With The Devil Chapter Sixty-Nine – His Repentance
Luke watched the cops arrest the rat, Dennis Howard, the PA of their Sr. Tender Manager, Ken Gallagher. It took Luke and his team all day to collect evidence against him. But it was all over now and he could go home. The team left, and he walked over to his cabin to get his bag. However, the moment he stepped inside, his breath hitched, remembering his morning ordeal. Brynne had obviously gone home, leaving the paternity test report on his desk. He sighed and picked it up. Why didn’t she decline his accusations with proof? Why didn’t she tell him she wasn’t pregnant? Celine was right. She didn’t love him. Absent-mindedly, he picked up the report to stash it in his pocket when his glance fell on the report date. It was dated almost eight weeks ago. Luke frowned at it, blinking to refocus. Yes, the date was indeed eight weeks ago. But he had met Brynne only five weeks ago, and she was a virgin then. He rechecked the name of the clinic. New Age Medicare, Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn.
A Deal With The Devil Chapter Sixty-Eight – Deeply Shattered
When Celine left, Luke grabbed Brynne’s arm and pulled her inside. She almost stumbled from the brunt of his actions, but collided with his chest instead. He gripped her hard, his hands like steel bands around her arm, hurting her on purpose. “What the f*ck are you doing here, Brynne? Didn’t I tell you to stay home?” he gritted out in a frenzy. “I..” Brynne was too dazed to answer. She was curious about the paper in his hands. She had arrived just in time to hear Celine’s accusation.I’m glad Brynne is betraying you. Do you think she loves you? She’s also with you for money.She wanted to stand up for herself, but the furious look on Luke’s face scared her. What had she missed? What happened between Celine and Luke before her arrival? “Cat got your tongue? What did you think? I’ll never figure out your pregnancy.” His accusing gaze made her squirm. How did he find out about her pregnancy? She had hidden it from everyone.“How do you know about it? I..” Luke’s face scrunched up with
A Deal With The Devil Chapter Sixty-Seven – Celine’s Game
Luke stared at his phone with surprise. Why was Celine calling him constantly after all the stunts she pulled? Did she think he would forgive her? Did she think he didn’t know about her underhanded ploys? Maybe she thought he had no idea she was behind both crimes. The wish to teach her a lesson and give her a piece of his mind was so acute that Luke strode out of the bedroom and accepted the call. “Why the f*ck are you calling me, Celine?” he barked into the phone, unaware that Brynne heard him clearly. “I want to meet you, Luke. This is important.” Luke’s blood boiled at her fake caring voice. “I have no reason to meet you. So see you at the hearing.” “No, wait, don’t disconnect the call. I have something to show you. It’s about your wife. Please, can you meet me tomorrow somewhere?” Luke hesitated. What was it about Brynne that Celine wanted to talk about? “What is it about Brynne? Tell me now.” “I can’t tell you over the phone. I have to show you something. It’s very import
A Deal With The Devil Chapter Sixty-Six – Hiding Her Pregnancy
The cops recorded her statement and left. Luke smiled and sat beside her. “Are you feeling better now? The doctor has permitted you to go home.” Brynne nodded, easing off the bed to go home. Thankfully, both the doctor and the nurse kept their promise and didn’t disclose her pregnancy to Luke. He caught her hand and gently led her toward the elevator. “The children have gone home with Grandpa. There’s nothing to feel stressed. We’ll be more careful from now on. Everything is under control, Brynne. Take a deep breath and relax.” Brynne nodded, allowing him to think her health deteriorated because of stress. “I’m better now.”“Good. The cops are on the lookout for the Bentley. Joe had taken a picture of the number plate. It can’t escape for long.” He helped her to their car and drove off, followed by their bodyguards. However, unknown to both, a car followed them all the way to their building. The same pair of jealous eyes glared at them, unable to believe she had missed her target
A Deal With The Devil Chapter Sixty-Five – Hit And Run?
The traffic police brought Leonardo safely back and Luke thanked them profusely. It was time to teach Celine a lesson. The only way would be to gather proof against her. It would all come in handy at the hearing. A traumatized Leo hugged his father with tears of relief in his eyes. “I’m sorry, Dad,” he sobbed, clutching Luke’s torso. “You’re safe now. I’m sorry this happened to you, son. Promise me you won’t go anywhere without your guards.” Luke’s throat choked with emotions. He hadn’t expected to find his son this soon. It was indeed a miracle.“Yes, I promise you, Dad.” “Did they hurt you, Leo?” Grandpa Benson asked after the police left.“No. There were two men. They gagged me and tied me up before dumping me in a car. It happened so fast, I couldn’t call for help. It was all well-planned, Dad. I overheard them talking to a woman over the phone. They were arguing about money with her.” Luke and Grandpa shared a look. “Did you hear her?” Leo shook his head. “No, Dad.” “Anyway
