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.” Unconscious

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Sixty-Seven – In A Dilemma 

    Damien After A Month“You could have asked your dad to attend the graduation ceremony.” I turned towards Elena as we walked towards our car. This was the day we had been looking forward to for a long time. We had returned to Rochester from Bern to appear for our final assessments. Although Elena wanted to return home to New York City, my decision was made. We would grab our degrees, bid farewell to Rochester, and return home forever. With the apartment sold off, now I had nothing in Rochester to make me want to return here. “No, Dad would have been ashamed of my score. I’m not the class valedictorian like you.” Yes, I had topped the batch, but it didn’t matter at all to me. I hadn’t even informed my family about my achievements. “But you cleared it. Why wouldn’t he be proud?” She shrugged and got into the car. “Nothing I do seems to matter to him. Ever since we left Bern, he hasn’t answered my phone calls. I think he hasn’t forgiven me yet.” I frowned and steered the car toward

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Sixty-Six – Making Peace With Dad

    ElenaMy heart sank with despair. I didn’t want to hurt my dad after what he was going through. But I couldn’t agree to his wishes. “But that’s not what I want, Dad. I can’t do justice to your business. There’s too much interference from Uncle Gerard and his family.” Uncle Gerard was my dad’s domineering youngest brother. He and his two sons handled the business successfully. There was no place in it for a novice like me. They didn’t want my presence, and I wasn’t interested in battling it out with them.“I want you to take over, Elena.” He sat with a grim look on his face.“But I can’t do it. I’m not capable enough, Dad.” Why couldn’t he do it himself?He shook his head, giving me a disappointed look. “Why are you backing out without listening to my proposal? I know what I’m doing. Just agree, and things will go smoothly as planned.”I was instantly wary of his plan. “Okay, I’m listening.”He leaned forward excitedly as if he had been waiting for this minute all the time. “Good. You

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Sixty-Five – To Bern

    ElenaAfter a strenuous flight followed by a train ride, I closed my eyes as the car sped from the train station in Bern towards my father’s mansion in Gstaad.“Coming here had always been a dream when you were here, Lena. I wanted to come here and whisk you away with me.” Damien’s voice brought me out of my dazed state. It made me feel rejuvenated despite the fatigue.Ever since Dad called me last night, I have been stressed. He was unwell and wanted me to return at the earliest. Thankfully, Damien insisted on accompanying me on this trip, or I would have been totally at a loss.After the wedding, while the family left for New York, Damien and I left Santorini for Zurich. A short train ride later, we reached Bern, ready to face my dad. What could have happened to him? I had no time to update my mom. Anyway, they weren’t on talking terms.“Oh, maybe things would have been different if you had.” I smiled and snuggled into him. I would have fallen asleep here if I weren’t so stressed.“

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Sixty-Four – A Dreamy Proposal

    ElenaI watched Dominic and Julia cut their mouth-watering three-tiered wedding cake amidst loud cheers and laughter. Everyone was ecstatic except me. The last few days had been everything a dream vacation should be. We enjoyed what Santorini offered us: yachting around the Vlychada Marina, exploring the Red Beach, horse riding at Eros Beach, discovering the LA Ponta Castle, and enjoying the caldera views. The nights, however, were only for us. Damien had been insatiable and unstoppable. Every night, he tried different ways to please me. It became a challenge for me to think of ways to please him in return. Despite the sexual satisfaction, I couldn’t stop the ache in my heart.I had expected more from this trip. I had expected him to seal our relationship with a proposal. He hadn’t. Now that the wedding was over, we would have to return to New York the next morning. All my hopes were dashed. What was stopping Damien from taking the plunge?After a week, Drake and Daniella’s wedding wa

    ElenaI closed my eyes at last, resting my head on Damien’s shoulder. With the entire family around me on his family jet, we had a blast from the moment we took off.After Damien’s confession three nights ago, there has never been a dull moment in my life. With everything cleared up between us, the lovemaking became more intense, experimental, and enjoyable. Damien realized the importance of the three magical words in a relationship and whispered them frequently. I loved hearing him say it. I knew he meant it with all his heart and soul.We were so engrossed with one another that I forgot to take an update on Mom. Neither did we get time to meet Ryan.Every day held a new excitement for Damien and me. We couldn’t get enough of one another. I didn’t mind him taking baby steps in our relationship. We were in no hurry at all. But Grandpa Nelson wanted us to get engaged soon. So, would Damien propose on this Santorini trip? Only Damien could answer that. Yet he remained elusive on the top

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Sixty-Two – Damien’s Confession 

    Elena“When did you plan all this?” His gaze swept over my body, still clad in the burgundy dress. I knew I looked a mess with disheveled hair and groggy eyes, but what could I do? He didn’t allow me to touch up some makeup or fix my hair.“I wasted my evening. Maybe you had dinner already.” I couldn’t believe he had missed dinner with his brothers. He pulled out the chair for me. “No, baby. I came rushing to you the moment I was free.” His charming smile took my breath away. “Oh, why? Did you know about my plans?” I was sure the girls had given me away. Or was it Aunt Vera? He sat down opposite with the same charming smile pasted on his lips. “No, I just missed you. You know I can’t stay away from you.” “You shouldn’t say things you don’t mean.” My heart and mind went into overdrive. My inner mind prodded me not to get my hopes up. I knew he wouldn’t confess. Yet my heart thumped, my reserves melting into a puddle at his words. He raised an eyebrow at me. “Who said I don’t mean
