The Devil’s Contract Chapter 25
I was seated in my office most of the day, trying to avoid Adonis at all costs after what happened back home. It was safer to steer off his path because God knows what other fucked up thoughts he has in his mind. My phone beeped from a notification and I picked it off the table. I glanced at my screen to see Chloe had sent me a text. I tapped it open to a link. I opened it and was taken to a webpage. Written in bold large matters, the headlines read; Ericcorps guilty of committing financial felonies. Further investigation is being carried out. A wide grin spread across my face. Each line I read made my heart swell with joy. It won’t take long for Eric to realize this was my doing. For someone like him, he’d definitely have enemies and people set out to ruin his life, but I'm his greatest enemy. He played dirty when he tried to get me killed, and now I’ll play dirtier. My door suddenly barged open and a red-faced Barbara stormed into my office. Rolling my eyes, I leaned back in my

ADONIS’S POVWe arrived at the mall but unfortunately, the press got there before us. The moment I stepped out of the car, their cameras flashed in action. Ignoring them, I opened the door for Estelle as she walked out gracefully.She lowered her head as I took her hand in mine, clearly used to getting such attention from the press. When we finally made it into the mall, she released a sigh and hastily freed her hand from mine. Without saying a word or throwing a glance at me, she walked away briskly. She had that attitude since the day I spanked her. I chuckled to myself. Like ignoring me was going to keep me at bay. Whenever I glimpsed at her and our eyes met, her face would redden, and she’d quickly look away.I knew exactly how she felt because I couldn’t stop thinking about that day either.The image of her naked body spread across my lap was engraved into my brain, infiltrating my thoughts. I ached to feel my palm on her soft skin one more time, and do so much more. Followi

ESTELLE’S POVNighttime came quickly and we were soon headed to the venue. Thanks to Genna, my makeup and hair were flawless. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I understood why Adonis swooned over the dress. It was a masterpiece, perfectly crafted just for me.When we arrived, the car door opened and Adonis took my hand in his and pulled me out gracefully. As we walked side by side with his fingers intertwined with mine, I couldn’t stop thinking of what those hands had done to me back at the dresser. Desire rushed through me and my cheeks burned, but I was grateful he wasn't looking.I had enjoyed every moment of it, a pleasure I hadn't felt in ages. It was different with Eric would had always been so mechanical. Now that I think about it, he only cared about his own needs.But Adonis was different. There was a burning hunger in his eyes, a longing that I could feel with every touch. It was as if my pleasure was his own, like seeing me unravel beneath him was enough pleasure for

As he moved closer, his eyes darkened, taking in the sight of my shredded dress, and tear-streaked face.“Who did this to you?” he demanded again, his voice tinged with fury, as he looked around him, as if searching for the person.“My sweet cousin, Barbara,” I bit out, bitterness laced in every word.His eyes widened in shock, his silence fueling my anger even more.“You knew they'd be here, didn't you?” when he didn't answer, I snapped. “This is all your fucking fault! If I had known they’d be here, I would never have come. I wouldn’t be standing here, humiliated, with my beautiful dress in ruins.”“Why didn’t you tell me they’d be here?!” I screamed, my fists pounding against his chest, desperate to release all this pent-up anger. He caught my wrists, his grip firm as I burst into more angry tears.“Look at me.”“No! Why are you determined to force these horrible people into my life?” my voice trembled, “First you let Barbara work in your company, and then you invite me to a ball w

ADONIS’S POVMy mind kept going back to the conversation we had at the ballroom, and how things had escalated to her crying in the bathroom with her dress in shreds.So much happened in such short time.Though it was faint, her expression had changed when I told her how I felt about women.I wondered why.But I hadn't told her the whole truth. I couldn't. How could I possibly admit that I've been obsessed with her since the first day I saw her in college? Or how I’d been struck by how much she looked like my first-ever obsession?This twisted part of me had been born the first day I met that woman, and till today, I blamed her for it.The mansion was quiet, the chandelier lights casting a soft glow as we walked into the grand room. I couldn't help but stare at her, tracing every detail of her long legs as she walked—the way her hair sashayed down her back— the way she clutched my jacket to her body like it was some sort of shield.Following behind her, I remained silent as I admired

ESTELLE’S POVI felt like I was in a dream and a nightmare at the same time.Adonis was kissing me.His grip on my waist tightened as he grabbed my neck with his other hand. I melted to the bones as overwhelming desire suddenly rushed through me. I shut my eyes as I let myself enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment. I’d always imagined what kissing him would feel like, but this moment was like nothing I ever imagined.He devoured my lips with hunger, his body pressing into mine like we would become one at that moment. I wanted to touch him, to run my nails down his back, to tangle my fingers through his hair. But I was holding onto the sill of the window frame, so I wouldn’t fall through it.Sparks flew between us, every brush of his lips against mine sending a shiver down my spine.He shoved his tongue forcefully into my mouth, and I couldn’t help but moan. When his teeth bit my lip, I cried out more from the pleasure than the pain.I could feel his erection poking in between my legs

My eyes widened in shock. I never imagined this was what she was going to say but I understood why she felt that way.“It’s okay. I understand how you must feel,” I rubbed her shoulders as they shook with sobs.As we held each other's gaze, I saw myself in her. Memories of my pretend marriage with Eric flashed through my mind, down to the painful moment of his betrayal. My heart still bled like my life it had happened yesterday. Genna didn’t realize that her being here was a trigger for me.“Wasn't I good enough?” she cried out as she wiped off the tears rolling down her cheeks.“He was the one who wasn’t good enough. You’re perfection,” I said with a smile.She nodded, “Hopefully, I realize that soon enough. And you won’t believe who he cheated on me with.”“Tell me, I’m all ears,” I tried to act like it was gossip to loosen the tension in the air.“My fucking best friend.”My jaw literally dropped. “What a snake,” I uttered in disgust.“Tell me about it,” she released an exasperat
