We walked towards the white gazebo, elegantly positioned against the breathtaking backdrop of towering mountains.

“Wow, it’s so romantic!” said Julia, having never seen so much opulence in her life.

This time, even I had to agree. “I know, right?” However, my gaze searched for the one and only guy who had turned my life upside down a few minutes ago. I didn’t know what to expect from this Grecian vacation.

My eyes sought him out as he stood by his brother, looking dashing in a navy tuxedo. How could someone be drop-dead gorgeous and yet look goofy at the same time? He winked as if he hadn’t threatened me to sign a deal with him.

I rolled my eyes and looked away while his gaze followed me around. It caused goosebumps to erupt on my bare arms.

On the other side of the groom was Dominic, clad in the same navy tuxedo. I was about to update Julia about Dominic’s interest in her when I saw the two of them locked in a staring contest.

“Earth to Julia!” whispered Brynne, bringin

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Forty-Two – Favorite Place In The World

    Julietta / Julia“Do you like your breakfast bowl? You can check out the eggs Kayanas, and Kalitsounia.” Dominic seemed quite familiar with the local cuisine, which was made to perfection.“Oh, I’ve never tasted Greek food. How do you know so much about them?” I smiled at him as we sat down to devour the delightful Greek breakfast laid out before us. He smiled, holding my gaze. “Yes, almost thirty times. Maybe more. But this is my first time in Santorini.” “Why? Don’t you like Santorini? It’s the most beautiful place in Greece.” I watched his dimple deepen and his eyes darken. The tension dancing between us was too acute, and I knew he was aware of it as well. Shyness gripped my heart while he devoured me with his eyes. “I had no time for pleasure trips. Now that I’m here, maybe this will be my favorite place in the entire world.” His eyes burned through my skin, sending my heart galloping. “Why?” “You know why.” In the few sweet, tense seconds that followed, the silence between

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Forty-One – What’s In A Name? 

    Julietta / JuliaIt was a novel experience to board a private jet and go on a vacation with my family. It wasn’t just any vacation, but my wedding trip. Excitement bubbled in my heart while Dominic frowned at his phone. He seemed restless throughout dinner, avoiding everyone. I tried reaching out to him many times but failed. Dominic had pulled all the shutters down. It would take me an effort to remove them all over again. What changed suddenly? He had been opening up to me slowly, trusting me. I watched him type into his phone with a scowl on his face. Who was he messaging? Last night we had only slept after takeoff. It had been almost sixteen hours since we had boarded Lucien’s jet. We couldn’t use Dominic’s because of a technical problem. “Julia, where are you so lost? Tell me if you like this wedding gown.” Daniella nudged me, and I focused on the fashion magazine in her hands.“Yes, it’s great. Will you order this for your wedding? I’m sure it’s coming up next.” I wiggled my

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Forty – Can I Believe Her?

    DominicI froze upon hearing her rushed confession. How could she love me in such a brief span of time? It takes years to know someone and fall in love, right?No, I was sure she was lying to make me trust her. I trusted her to some extent. But she didn’t need to lie to make me fall for her.I released her and stepped back awkwardly. “Love is a strong word to use, Julia. Yes, I know we care about one another. But love, no. It takes years to fall in love. It’s complicated, and we don’t need it in our lives.”She gave me a look of surprise that was soon replaced by hurt. I felt like an ass for disrupting the magical moment we shared. “Do you think I’m lying?”I tore my gaze away, feeling guilty now. “That’s not what I meant. I hate to love someone. It empowers the other one to hurt you.”I couldn’t face the understanding look in her eyes. “I can understand, Dominic. But all women aren’t your ex-wife.”“I didn’t mean Kimberly. Obviously, I’ve never loved her.” I wanted to run from her in

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Thirty-Nine – Would He Patch Up With Kimberly?

    Julietta / Julia I had no wish to stay in Dominic’s apartment all by myself. With him still enjoying his pre-wedding bash, I preferred spending the day at Grandpa Nolan’s apartment. Therefore, I had no idea what happened to the car stalking me. I hid in the apartment all day until evening, when the men arrived. Dominic ignored me as usual. “Why did I waste my money on an apartment if my family prefers staying here?” Diego rolled his eyes at his dad. “You weren’t there, Dad.” Dominic gave him a disinterested look. “Since when did that affect you?” “Dom, you’re overreacting now.” Aunt Vera looked worked up. “It’s pre-wedding jitters, Aunt Vera,” chuckled Lucien. They joined in, and I wanted to hide from the embarrassment. “So how did the party go?” asked Aunt Sarah. “The party was okay. It could have been better, but I met Kimberly there.” Dominic glanced in my direction. I couldn’t hide my jealousy this time. So, was he considering getting back with her? “Oh! What did she s

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Thirty-Eight – An Eerie Feeling

    Julietta / Julia “Gosh, this is our first outing in the New Year. After the cruise, our lives have changed so much!” exclaimed Brynne, her eyes twinkling with happiness. Yes, it was true indeed. We had been so wrapped up in our lives, we had no time to catch up with one another. While Brynne and I did a few times, Daniella had been busy with her mom’s renowned bakery. “Yes. What would have happened if we hadn’t gone on the cruise? We would still have been single and ready to mingle.” Although I didn’t meet Dominic on the cruise, it had affected our meeting to some extent. The cruise brought Lucien and Brynne together, leading to their wedding. And it was at the wedding that I met Dominic. “I’m glad I went or I wouldn’t have ever found love,” said Brynne. Daniella drove towards the shopping mall, and I sighed. “I’m sure you would have met him at the office. If you’re destined to meet him, you will.” The flight was tonight, and I was glad I could catch up with my friends. After a

    DominicThe doorbell rang, and Damien opened the door. Leonardo rushed inside in a state of panic. The game was disrupted, and so was my inner peace. “Diego has hurt himself, Uncle Dominic. Please come to the clubhouse!” My heart sank with dread, and I sprang from my seat. “What happened to him?” I rushed out with him, and so did Lucien, Damien, and Julia. Leonardo looked frightened. “The ball hit him and he fainted, Uncle Dominic.” My heart sank with dismay, imagining the worst. “You should have been careful.” “I’ll get my car ready in case we need to take him to the hospital.” Lucien went to the basement car parking area while we jogged to the clubhouse. “Don’t you have any trainers at the clubhouse? It’s so dangerous to let the kids play with the adults.” Julia looked more panicked than any of us. “No, there’s no one, not even a security guard. The senior team was playing, and the ball hit us.” I frowned, noting to take this up with the management.“That’s a security breach,
