All Chapters of A Bargain With The Devil: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“Are you ready?” Ethan's voice pierced through the thick layers of my thoughts. It pulled me back to reality as we stood hand-in-hand at the entrance of the magnificent hall. I turned my head to the side slowly in his direction and nodded. Ethan guided me in like a gentleman, one who people would think he was without sin. He didn't seem like the man I was angry with, his aura had changed completely. A wide smile has managed to curl up his lips. Fluorescent flashes of lights from cameras lit our path as we strode to the red carpet. We posed for a few pictures like the lovely couple we were supposed to be in the eyes of the nation and swam through the sea of reporters trying to ask Ethan questions, into the hall. The grandeur of the hall left me agape, my eyes couldn't help but wander around each corner of the hall. The high ceilings had beautiful designs with intricate details and an enormous magnificent chandelier that commanded attention in the middle of the room. It cast a rich g

“You should have warned me,” I yelled, hitting him on the chest but he didn't react to my blows.“I tried to but you were too stubborn to listen then. Too curious to see beyond your veil of oblivion, but don't worry I have everything under control.” He said.I rolled my eyes, “Of course,” I said sarcastically and tried to slip away from him but he used his arm to push me back up. “What do you want?” I inquired of him. A scowl appeared on my face as I lifted my eyes to his face from under my lashes“Are we good?” He asked, his orbs wandered left and right as he searched my eyes.I sighed in defeat, “Maybe. Why are you still on the issue? I have told you, I didn't do it but you chose to believe Ava nonetheless. How do you expect me to believe your words when you don't trust me? I know she was your girlfriend and there is still a little itsy-bitsy-tiny feeling for her in your heart, but…His lips covered mine in an instant, my words fell back into my throat as he sucked on my lips. The

My heart raced as I walked off from him. I wanted him to mean every word he had said. After what we had last night, my body has been craving his touch more than ever, and even though I want to pretend, he keeps making it hard for me. I didn't think he was going to take my words seriously and bring me out to shop. I felt my warm blood creep underneath my cheeks.I put on the third dress; a long tight revealing black dress. He nodded his head in approval as I came out to show it to him. I went back to the dressing section and put on the fourth dress; a nude body con gown without a back piece to cover from my shoulder to my waistline. The only support was the straps at the front. I clipped it behind my neck to cover my breast while my back remained bare.I watched his eyes flicker with desires as I walked forward. My skin tingled as goosebumps washed over me and his eyes traced every detail of the dress on my body. He ran the tip of his tongue over his bottom lips and clasped his hands a

ETHAN POV CONTDI hurried downstairs to watch her, but unfortunately, she was done. She looked distressed, her hair messy and her clothes rumpled. Bead droplets of sweat trickled down her face. She was a mess. I shouldn't have come downstairs. It was so stupid to think she was going to let me touch her in her sober state. What a fool.She walked past me to get ready to leave the house. Great, just great. This is how my presence affects her.Sighing, I walked back to my room, dismissed my work for the day, and went back to the bathroom to finish my business.I heard the sound of a car engine warming up. She must be leaving the house already. The sound of the engine roared till it was out of my hearing range.As I left the bathroom, I walked to my bedside table to grab my phone to dial Cartwright's contact line. After several attempts, his voice rang through from his ends to my eardrums.“Hey, what's up Dude,”“Hey, Cartwright, are you home?”“Well…yeah. Something like that.” He stutter

You know that feeling when your life is falling apart and you have no one to talk to about it? That is how I feel. Maybe I shouldn't have accepted his proposal, I should have found another way to raid his plans, why did I do it? Maybe because I wanted to be close to him.My decision has led me to this life-crumbling end. Was it worth it? I don't think it is anymore. I wish I could talk to Father about this but he does not even know about our relationship and Mother's advice won't be soul-lifting.My throat tightened as I struggled to breathe. I tapped on Jace’s seat and he glanced at me through the mirror.“Pull over,” I demanded.“But….”“Jace, please.” I insisted, my voice low with misery.He sighed and steered to the roadside meant for parking. As the car stopped, I pushed open the door with hesitation and walked out. Jace ran after me but I asked him to give me some privacy. Although he was quite persuasive at first but gave up later.The dimly lit road seemed empty as I walked on
