Daniella

I tried to focus on my food instead of reacting to his admission. It was a difficult task indeed. “Must you flirt with every female you meet? You’re so pathetic, Drake Ashford!”

“No, only you. All my efforts are now focused on you.” His face lost its goofiness as he spoke. If I didn’t know his true nature, I would have believed his shit and fallen for him already.

“Why? Don’t tell me you’re short on offers. I’m sure there are others, easier to charm and easy to conquer.” Unconsciously, I held my breath, waiting for his reply.

“I don’t want the others. I want you. Don’t worry, I love a clash before a conquest.” He grinned at my jaw-dropped look.

I hadn’t expected that. “Overconfidence? You can’t conquer me. I’ll disappear from your life after the trip.” It wasn’t a future threat. I intended to do it. Staying around Drake challenged my emotional and mental well-being. I didn’t want to fall for the devil. This constant battle to resist him was taking a toll on me. If one kis

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 2: Chapter Thirty-One – Chaos At My House

    DaniellaMy heart sank with dread as the elevator went up to my floor. I had no time to announce Drake’s presence tonight to my mom. She would be so shocked to see him tonight. How would Jake react to Drake? Would they kill one another? I had no idea, and the thought was driving me crazy.“Stop chewing your lips. Relax!” He grinned at me, enjoying my discomfort.“Please don’t pick a fight with Jake. He’s my mom’s favorite.”His grin widened. “From now on, I’ll be your mom’s favorite. Will that do?”“That’ll be worse. She’ll force me to marry you.” I groaned at the idea.“Really? We will do a fake wedding for a year or two.”I glared at him. “Don’t even think about it. If I ever marry, it’ll be for love.”“Do you still believe in that shit? There’s nothing called love.”The elevator doors opened on my floor, and we walked out. I had no idea if Jake was already here.“That’s my apartment.” I pointed at the one opposite.“Oh? So, you live all by yourself in an apartment! Lucky girl!”I g

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 2: Chapter Thirty – The Pressure Multiplies

    DrakeA call from Dominic made me frown. Why was he calling me? He knew today was my first day at Sylvester’s. I had just announced Lucien as the CEO of Sylvester’s and returned to my office to lick my injured ego. What might Daniella have thought of me? The phone buzzed nonstop, and I accepted the call. “Yes, bro.” “Drake, Grandpa had a mild cardiac arrest. He’s been admitted to Queens Hospital. Reach there right away.” A gasp of horror escaped my lips. “Oh, I’ll be there.” In five minutes, I informed Lucien and drove towards Queen Hospital. Dominic, Mom, and Aunt Vera were already there as I joined them. “How did it happen? Wasn’t grandpa in New Jersey?” I glanced at their pale faces as they sat outside the ICU. They were surely hiding something from me. “He returned this morning. Maybe the journey was too strenuous for him,” said Mom nervously. I didn’t argue with her, but my grandpa traveled to New Jersey frequently, and I was sure he was well adjusted to it.“So, how serio

    Drake “Lucien is there to handle Sylvester’s. Why are you competing with him, Drake? Can’t you take an interest in your own business and help Dominic instead? That’s what your grandpa wants you to do.” Mom gave me a disapproving look when I announced my plan to join Sylvester Financial Inc. “Mom, Lucien has too much on his plate. He’s busy with LS Cruises. So what difference does it make if I join Sylvester’s as its CEO?” I wasn’t letting this go. Ever since Daniella left me, I couldn’t focus on anything. Even my favorite activity, traveling, didn’t interest me. She was on my mind 24/7, and I was going crazy. If I didn’t do something about it, soon I would end up in a rehab center with a mental breakdown. I had no idea what I wanted from her. Maybe another kiss would suffice. Or another round of wild se* would do the trick and help me get her off my mind. “But that isn’t a permanent solution, Drake. Lucien will take over eventually. Why can’t you join the NS Group this time? It’s

    DaniellaThe cab drove down the familiar streets of New York towards my home. But my mind was still far away, in a familiar suite aboard the LS Ocean Queen where I had surrendered to Drake. His lovemaking had me too f*cked up to enjoy another man’s touch.Ever since I left his suite, he hadn’t taken an update on me. I waited all the time for him to call me or seek me out. But he hadn’t bothered. In fact, he was nowhere around when we disembarked from the ship at the New York Cruise Terminal.It proved my suspicions right. He was only pursuing me to get into my pants. I was just another conquest for him.Well, I knew that, didn’t I? Yet I felt for him hook, line, and sinker. How did a player like me get played instead? I was used to playing with men and their feelings, but I never expected to see this day.I sighed and stared at my building farther down the street. After dropping Julia at her house, I braced to face my mom. She would definitely drive me crazy with her questioning. Of c

  • A Deal With The Devil   Chapter Twenty-Seven – Surrendered

    Daniella I hadn’t even gotten a grip on my senses when Drake reached out and pulled the first drawer of the nightstand. My eyes widened when he took out a pack of condoms. “All planned, huh? I wonder how many you’ve used from this trip!” I rolled my eyes at the player. “I haven’t. See?” He tore open the sealed packaging and took out one. “I had planned to use them all, but you happened, and all my plans crumbled to dust.” My heart skipped a beat as I watched him tear off the packet with his teeth, all the while gazing at me. “So, are you hinting at being celibate for the last seven days?” It was unbelievable indeed. “Yes, so? You were the one who was playing hard to get? Or we could have enjoyed more. It’s payback time now for making me seek refuge in the shower cubicle!” I chuckled, taking the condom from his hand. “Can I sheath you?”He grimaced. “I like it raw, but we don’t want a battalion now, do we?” I gave him a look of horror. I couldn’t imagine myself getting pregnant

    DaniellaThe loud cry of seagulls, the splash of the ocean waves hitting the ship, made me stir. I stretched my tired limbs. Despite having the best sleep of my life, I felt mowed down. Why couldn’t I move my legs? It seemed I was lying underneath a bulldozer!What was wrong with me? I opened my eyes and gasped to see myself pinned almost under Drake!“Ahh! Drake! What the hell are you doing in my bed?” I screamed in horror, shocked at the roots of my hair.Drake groaned and rolled off me, opening an eye to check me out. “What’s wrong? Go back to sleep, Daniella.”I was now desperate as I checked myself. Thankfully, I was fully clothed. So he didn’t take advantage of me. Yet he owed me an explanation. “Drake, wake up. Why are you in my bed?” I shook him to wake him up.He groaned and opened his eyes. “Your bed? Look properly, woman. This is my bed.” He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.My mouth hung open as I looked around. He was right! This was indeed his bed and his room. But
