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.

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Forty-Nine – Soulful Confessions 

    Dominic The reception was a great success, far exceeding my expectations. I hadn’t expected things to turn out so well. It was surprising Kimberly hadn’t employed goons to disrupt the wedding. Maybe she would have if we had planned the event in New York. Julia and I walked out hand in hand after the cake cutting. Diego was returning home with the others, and I felt relaxed for the first time. More so since I had switched off my phone. Kimberly was taking it too far, resorting to all kinds of threats in her desperation to stop the wedding. Where was she when Diego was little? If she had begged for forgiveness ten years ago or taken care of Diego, I would have considered patching things up with her. I didn’t love her, but for Diego’s sake, I would have forgotten my grudges. But ten years was a long time, and my heart had blocked her out forever. Now, no amount of pleading or threatening would make me melt towards Kimberly Forester. I wondered what evidence she had against Julia.“Fo

    DominicTears pooled in my eyes as I watched my bride walk towards me. She looked so ethereal in her bridal attire, it almost felt like a dream unfolding before my eyes. For a decade, I had given up on love. I had never expected to see myself marrying someone, trusting someone again, let alone loving her. But Julia had changed everything with her simplicity and selflessness.She wasn’t with me with any ulterior motive. She was with me because she wanted to be with me. We might have started on the wrong footing, yet I could feel her love in everything she did. And most importantly, her love for Diego knew no bounds.The tears broke all restraint and fell. Yet they were happy tears. I couldn’t express the joy in my heart at seeing her right before me, ready to marry me despite the way I had treated her.Her radiant face held no grudge against me.

    Julietta / JuliaThe beautiful wedding gown with crystal embellishments on the neckline clung to my curves and cascaded down to the floor in waves. With my hair fixed in a French knot and the veil covering my head, I couldn’t believe I was really getting married. After my father’s death, I had struggled to survive in this world all by myself. Never had I expected to get married to someone. And now that I was, my heart felt heavy and my eyes lacked lustre. It wasn’t the wedding I wanted. It wasn’t the happily ever after I had wished for. To the world, it might be a fairytale love story, but only I knew the truth. There was no love. It was a fake wedding. I was Dominic’s wife in name only. My heart bled as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I looked the unhappiest bride alive! “Smile, Julia! Everything will be fine.” Brynne hugged me briefly. They had no idea what I was going through.After knowing Dominic had come over to see me, I tried calling him. But strangely, he had swi

    Julietta / JuliaThe next morning, I opened my eyes to see my friends excitedly chattering. “Rise and shine, sleepyhead! It’s your wedding day!” exclaimed Daniella, looking more excited than everyone else, including me.I flashed her a fake smile, Dominic and Diego’s conversation still echoing in my head. Would Diego stop addressing me as his mom?My heart would surely break.A knock on the door made me dash towards the washroom. Was Dominic here for me?When I emerged, the girls chuckled at my state. “Why did you run? It’s just breakfast in bed sent by Aunt Vera.”“Oh.” Why did I feel so disappointed? After facing Dominic’s weird behavior for the last few days, did I expect him to miss me?“Help yourself if you want some. I can devour it all!” Brynne picked up a plate and served herself abundantly.Daniella ate straight from the serving bowls!I rolled my eyes and followed Daniella. Who was here to check on us?“Feast while you can, girl! After the wedding, you’ll be the feast!” chuc

    Julietta / Julia My body ached, but the pain was nothing compared to the one in my heart. Ever since the day we arrived in Santorini, Dominic and I had enjoyed physical proximity every time we were together. But it somehow felt like a ritual. It wasn’t the lovemaking we had shared the first time. Somehow, the magic was lost. In the blink of an eye, my world had crumbled before I could have built it. Why did Kimberly always hold the upper hand in my relationship with Dominic?He hardly stayed after a fu*k, spending the night somewhere else. I knew something was bothering him, but I couldn’t reach out. Then why was he marrying me if his heart didn’t agree? He was free to cancel everything and return after a nice vacation with his family. He could just kick me out of his life and embrace his ex-wife instead.For the last few days, he had always been busy with his mom and grandpa, escorting them to museums, wellness centers, and other boring places. The others had been going out to exp

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Forty-Four – What Did Kimberly Want? 

    Julietta / JuliaWe could hardly catch our breath when they whisked us away to explore the Akrotiri archeological site nearby. “We’ve dropped our shopping plan,” said Brynne. Dominic threaded his fingers through mine, and we walked like a couple in love. After the way he had addressed me, I was thoroughly confused. Why did he call me ‘love’?“All this volcanic ash preserved the Minoan city,” said Drake as we navigated through an impressive network of buildings and rooms filled with earthenware. It gave us a rough idea of how life was like in Akrotiri around 3000 B.C. The Minoan frescoes depicted vibrant scenes of their everyday lives. With Dominic explaining the scenes to me, I could vividly imagine it all. “I can’t go another step forward without a stopover. Let’s stop for lunch, please,” said Elena. Diego and Leonardo agreed wholeheartedly.“I want pizza,” said Lucas, Lucien’s younger son. We headed towards our vehicle while the kids searched for pizzerias nearby. The vehicle d
