Chapter Fourteen - Confrontations

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-19 14:56:39

Brynne hated returning to Luke’s empty suite, but she had no choice. Staying there was a better option than going back to the cabin and facing Daniella and Adam again. It was strange that Adam had not called her since last night. Nor did Daniella. It hurt her tremendously, as she had always considered them her own. For the last two years, she tried her best to help and bond with them. But it seemed it was all one-sided. They didn’t consider her a friend.

She wandered aimlessly, watching the ship gear up for the three-night gala New Year’s party starting the next evening. While everyone would enjoy themselves with their friends and loved ones, Brynne would have no one to share it with. Luke had clearly excused himself for the next two days. Or was it forever? Did he lose interest in her after getting what he wanted from her? Was this an excuse to dismiss her? Maybe he couldn’t directly ask her to get out after having his way with her. She somehow had the feeling he wouldn’t return.

    Brynne waited all morning for Luke, but it seemed he had forgotten her existence. There was chaos all around, and she opened the door and walked out to the deck. To her immense surprise, the ship was heading towards Port Canaveral, Florida. Her heart skipped a beat at the prospect of exploring something different for a change. She rushed inside, picked up the cruise itinerary, and found out the details. The ship would remain docked until 10 pm and they were free to explore Orlando until then. In ten minutes, she was ready. She locked the room and inched toward the elevator. Luke hadn’t even called her and she knew he might still be with his grandpa and Aubrey. She shouldn’t have trusted him.All the passengers on board were queuing up on Deck 4 to alight from the ship after 2 days of being at sea. Brynne was eager too, but scanned the crowd for known faces. Thankfully, she didn’t recognize the crowd so far. Hoping she didn’t collide with Adam and Daniella, she listened to the instru

    The limousine dropped them near a tall structure that looked like the sail of a ship. While Brynne tried her best to figure it out, Luke seemed busy steering her forward. “What’s this?” “Oh, it’s the Exploration Tower - an observation deck. Each floor offers a magnificent view of the area, and you can see all the ships docked here.” With his hand on her elbow, he led her to the elevator. It was jampacked with tourists and Brynne was almost plastered against his body. A tremor of need coursed through her body in response. He wasn’t immune to her, either. She could feel him harden against her. Finally, the torture ended, and they were pushed along with the crowd to the first floor. “There’s your ship,” gasped Brynne excitedly, and he smiled at her enthusiasm. Brynne was glad she received less jealous looks here. Maybe it was because most of the people didn’t know Luke. With Luke standing plastered against her back as they stood on the observation decks, Brynne was more aware of him t

    “Are we going to Disney World? I’ve never visited one.” Brynne tried to cheer him up, and it miraculously worked. Luke smiled and looked up at her. “I was thinking of visiting Topgolf. I have a membership there.” Brynne’s face fell with disappointment, but she didn’t protest. He was the host, taking her to places for free in his limousine. “We will go to Disney World if that’s what you want.” Brynne smiled but somehow had the feeling there was a catch hidden somewhere. Luke wasn’t doing her a favor. And she knew what he wanted from her. The limousine dropped them at the entrance of the park. Luke’s guard, who might have traveled with them, procured VIP tickets and a staff arrived to guide them around the place. “Hello, sir, ma’am! Welcome to Walt Disney World, Orlando. I’m Steve, your guide from Smartours Orlando. Our concierge service has booked all the rides for you in advance. We have you covered. So, shall we start?” They got into his car and he guided them through Lightning

    The food was indeed heavenly, and so was the ambiance of the little diner. Brynne could let down her guard and be herself. She could laugh and enjoy herself without a care in the world because the people hardly even glanced their way. “So tell me about the best part of your day.” Luke seemed extra attentive to her as he relaxed more now. “Obviously, the bioluminescence tour. It was a novel experience. I was so wrapped up, I hardly took any photographs!” She pouted in dismay while Luke grinned at her. “I did and I can forward them to you. But they come with a price.” Brynne smiled, knowing what his price would be. She was ready to pay any price. “Quote your price.” He smirked and shook his head. “I want the payment in kind.” Brynne waited for him to spell it out to her. Tucked away in a corner seat, she was sure no one could hear their heated conversation. The atmosphere was already crackling with the se*ual tension surging between them. Ever since the heated incomplete kiss they

    Brynne knew her plan had failed. Luke wouldn’t let her leave. “I’m getting off your damn ship. I’ll book a flight and go home.” She continued packing while Luke stood transfixed on the spot with surprise. He hardly had expected her to leave. She rose to her full height and approached the door, tugging her luggage along, only to be blocked by Luke. “You aren’t going anywhere. Are you planning to escape your end of the deal?” Brynne seethed at his arrogance. “No, I’m done with your attitude, Luke. You might be a rich, egoistic as*hole who can buy the world, but you can’t buy my self-respect. I won’t have you trample on it and call me unnecessary names. Do you think I agree to shitty deals with rich bastar*s for money? You’re wrong then. Go, find yourself a wh*re who can please you better. Can you send me your account details? I’ll transfer the money to you for all the expenses incurred so far. Now move.” She shoved a stunned Luke aside and reached the door. Luke came to his senses an

    Luke’s eyes flashed with arousal as he watched Brynne take over. He had to admit she was a very fast learner. What was she going to do with him? She shoved him on the bed, parting his legs just like he had done. Luke’s breath hitched in anticipation while his d*ck swelled with need. He watched her position herself between his legs. Completely shocked, he watched her in amazement. Their gazes locked, and he was already under her spell. She dipped her head to trail fiery hot kisses up his thighs, making his eyes flutter. “Jesus! I love that hot mouth of yours,” he muttered in a state of daze. She hadn’t even started, and he felt totally inebriated. Brynne stared at his hard, engorged d*ck and licked the top, all the while locking her gaze with his. She had no idea what she was doing. She just wanted to please him the way he had. “I’ve never done this before, Luke. Tell me if it isn’t right.” He reached out to cup her cheeks, guiding them to his organ. “You’re perfect, Brynne.

    Brynne woke up to a bright, sunny morning. Her lack of clothing reminded her of the intoxicating experience from last night. But where was Luke? The ship seemed to have slowed down. Had they reached the Bahamas?She dashed to the washroom to freshen up. Luke still hadn’t returned, and she pulled on a fresh set of clothes to go out and check. Her breath hitched in awe of her surroundings. Far ahead of her was the Great Stirrup Cay, an idyllic island paradise in the Bahamas. They would spend their New Year’s Eve on the island tonight. Brynne couldn’t wait to spend it with Luke. Her glance fell on Luke, laughing with a group of women on the deck. Flanked by his bodyguards, he looked quite comfortable in their presence, as if he knew them all. Brynne’s body seethed with jealousy at the sight. Did he have a history with each of these women?“God! He’s insufferable! Remind me why I’m still with him!” Brynne whirled around and walked away to the elevator, just to avoid him. But she had no

    Brynne walked out of the conference room after her last client meeting. Her day was over and she was ready to go home. Was it her home? It was Luke’s home. Not hers. Whatever it was, she was publicly his fiancée now. He announced it to the world in a press meet. Ever since she had switched off her personal phone and just used the work one. Thankfully, Luke didn’t summon her for the press meet and wrapped it up all by himself. After the press meet, there was utter chaos all around as everyone came to know of their relationship. She could sense the spiteful looks thrown her way wherever she went. It made her skip going to the cafeteria for lunch, but Luke sent her a food parcel, much to everyone’s jealousy. “Leaving already?” Daniella stopped by before heading to report to her manager. “You look tired. Have a candy.” She handed her one from her pocket. “Yeah. There were almost ten clients to deal with today. It’s all done and I’m tired.”“I know. Your fiancé is such a hard taskmaster

    Brynne calmed her jumpy nerves as she considered his question. Her dream wedding would be in a place like the Royal Villa, far away on a secluded island. But that was an impossible dream, right? “What difference does it make? I’ll have a church wedding with you.” Their order arrived and Brynne sipped her café latte in peace. She could sense Luke’s restless gaze on her, but refused to meet his eye. “Still, I need to know.” He glared at her impatiently. Why couldn’t she answer a simple question?“When I marry for real, I’ll consider it. As of now, let’s have it your way.” She sat calmly while Luke felt his blood boil at the thought of someone else marrying her for real.“I want to know. So, tell me your thoughts on a perfect wedding. What will make you happy?” He watched her eyes widen as she focused on the red rose adorning their table. “A real wedding with the man I love on a deserted island is what I dream of. I’d love a wedding at a place like the Royal Villa! Maybe someday I’ll

    Brynne lay in her room, wondering if Luke would seek her out tonight. After dinner, he received a conference call and disappeared into his study for hours. The children went to their wing and Brynne returned to her room, too. Ever since she had been trying to get some sleep but her heart jumped at every little noise echoing around. She had almost dozed off when she heard the main door open and Luke enter the eerily quiet suite. She could feel him hover outside her door for a few minutes before walking away to his bedroom. Brynne released the breath she was holding and closed her eyes finally. Maybe he wouldn’t touch her before signing the prenuptial. As if she would ever demand anything from him! The next morning, Brynne had just got ready for work when Luke came striding into her room. “What the hell! Can’t you knock? We aren’t married yet.” His eyes swept over her, taking in her work clothes. Without a word, he picked up the suitcase, yet to be unpacked, and walked out. Brynne

    Lucien saw red the moment his eyes fell on Adam. He hadn’t believed his ears when Grant had updated him about Brynne’s association with her ex. “F*ck off, Carter!” he gritted out at his employee, determined to sack him now. Adam hoisted himself, shocked to see his boss in front of him. It was so sudden; he was at a loss for words. Luke watched him leave and kicked the door shut before facing a trembling Brynne. “What the hell is going on here, Brynne? How can you get back with him in my absence? Can’t you live without f*cking that as*hole?” He leaned over her menacingly while Brynne stepped back, shocked by his accusations. “You’re mistaken, Luke. All my friends were here to celebrate our engagement.” Luke scoffed instead of believing her. “I saw only Carter. He was here last night too with red roses for you. What was he doing here with red roses, Brynne?” He gripped her by the shoulders in a fit of rage Brynne gaped at him, now realizing why his Bentley was always parked opposit

    Brynne hadn’t known she had been being watched since last evening. After Adam left, she was busy with the packing. The entire house had to be sealed for a year so that it wouldn’t be very dusty when she returned. It was a monumental task. When after an hour, she couldn’t complete, she gave up and declined Grant. Strangely, he didn’t argue. In the morning, when she emerged from her house, her glance fell on Luke’s Bentley parked opposite. Didn’t Grant leave last night? She was getting late for work and there was no time to speculate. Maybe she would find out in the evening. There was chaos in the office when she walked in. While everyone else gave her jealous looks, Julia came rushing to hug her. From the excited look on her face, Brynne knew what the stir was all about. Adam might have spilled the beans and announced her engagement to all at the office. “Brynne, congratulations, girl! I knew it.” Julia reached her and pulled her into a bear hug. Brynne laughed at her enthusiasm. Sh

    Brynne shoved Luke away, not in the least intimidated by him. He needed her more than she did. She could sell her house, pay off her debts, and leave the country to start afresh. She didn’t need to go through this humiliation. “I’m not afraid of your threats, Luke. If you try anything with me, I’ll opt out of your deal. You can find someone else.” He watched her for a second, surprised by her counter-attack. He couldn’t believe she meant that. “You can’t do that. You need the money.” She scoffed and shook her head. “No, I don’t. I can sell this house and pay my debts. I don’t need to be your se* slave for it.” Luke frowned, feeling a little upset by her announcement. Was he the only one who needed her? He couldn’t accept that at all. It hurt his already inflated ego to think she didn’t need him the way he did. “And the job? I’m sure you’ll need that to survive.” “No, I’ll find many more like it.” She held his shocked gaze, a sense of victory spreading all over her. “What if you d

  • A Deal With The Devil   Chapter Forty-Two – Agreeing To Marry The Devil

    Brynne didn’t get a minute to gather her thoughts. Luke’s proposal was so sudden that he didn’t give her a minute to decide. The doorbell buzzed, and an attendant brought them dinner. “Come and join me for dinner.” Luke’s mood had suddenly improved as he pulled out a chair for her. Was it because she agreed to marry him? “Thank you.” She settled in her chair, still grappling with reality. What had she agreed to? Was she making a mistake? But there was no going back now. His offer was too good to resist. She needed that money badly. Or it would take her years to clear the debts. It was just a matter of a year, right? What harm would one year of contract marriage do to her? She had already lost her virginity to him willingly. “What’s wrong? Having second thoughts?” He gave her a suspicious look as he served himself. “I’m not giving you an option to back out, Brynne. The engagement will happen tomorrow and the wedding this weekend.” Brynne felt dizzy. Why was he rushing it? “Can’t we

    Brynne stood on the open terrace to get some fresh air. She couldn’t understand Luke’s motive for asking her to stay over. Was it only to insult her? His jabs didn’t escape her attention. She was just trying to help. What made him so bitter against her? He wasn’t this way on the ship.She stared into the darkness ahead, watching the city light up like sparkling jewels on a necklace. Up above her, the stars twinkled and the balmy air enveloped her like a blanket. Were her parents up there watching over her? Did they see how lonely she was in this world?What was she doing with her life? She couldn’t recognize this Brynne anymore. Shouldn’t she be at her own house like every other employee in Sylvester’s? What was she doing at the boss’s house? How would she face the others at work? Surely they would come to know of it. Would anyone believe she had no hand in this? Would anyone believe she didn’t sleep with him this time?Brynne sighed and turned to go inside. Now that Leonardo was bett

  • A Deal With The Devil   Chapter Forty – Undecided

    Lucien followed Lucas to the children’s wing, with Brynne hot on his heels. He knew how much his children hated the women in his life. He had therefore stopped bringing them home long ago. Recently, Aubrey was the only one who refused to listen to logic and always arrived unannounced. The children hated her with a vengeance, and they had an ample reason behind it. Aubrey always misbehaved with them, calling them many names. He would have taught her a lesson if she weren’t his grandpa’s friend’s daughter.“Will Leo be okay, Dad? I’m so scared.” Lucien focused his attention on his son, feeling a little guilty for neglecting them lately. He had become too dependent on his grandpa, but not anymore. Once the court case settled down and he won their custody, he would make it up to them.“Don’t be scared, buddy. We’ll take care of Leo. I’m sure he’ll be better in no time.” He understood Lucas’s condition. The twins looked up at Leonardo as their guardian, parent, and idol. He was their ever
