Daniella

I couldn’t stop the gasp of surprise as I stared at Drake. How did he know I had kissed Adrian on the cheek? Was he stalking me? “How do you know? It was a thank you peck on the cheek, not a kiss.”

His handsome features lit up as he flashed me a crooked grin. “I was watching you. Whatever it was, you can do better for a ring.” His eyes dropped to my lips, and I licked them nervously. Why was I reacting so much to him? Wasn’t I immune to such pickup lines?

‘He’s flirting with you, Dani,’ I advised myself to stop the pounding of my heart.

Yet shyness gripped my body, and I tried not to let the deep timbre of his voice throw me off. “You can’t buy me with expensive gifts, Drake. It’s the feeling behind it, the gesture that touches my heart. Did you go down on one knee? So?” I shrugged and eased out of his hold.

I was terribly disappointed with my life. I had expected better from Drake. He almost made it look like a joke, slipping a fake ring onto my finger. Even Ted did bette

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Five – Evicted 

    Julietta / Julia“Where do you live, Aunt Julia?” Diego asked from the backseat. He was the most adorable boy I had ever met - kind, curious, mischievous, yet a thorough gentleman when he wanted to be one. “66 West St, Brooklyn. But you can drop me at the Greenpoint Avenue crossing.” I didn’t dare to glance at his smoking-hot father beside me. His behavior annoyed me so much, I had no wish to acknowledge his existence. Although he was behind the steering wheel, I was happy to give him the silent treatment and interact only with Diego. It had the desired effect of shutting him up in front of his son. “Oh, that’s not a problem at all. We’ll drop you at West St. Right, Dad?” I glanced at his dad to see the grim look on his face. A brief nod was all he conceded. “Umm, you can drop me off at Manhattan as well. I’ll take the subway or walk.” I watched Mr. Sylvester’s jaw clench at my question. Well, he brought it on himself. I hadn’t begged him to drop me home. “I wouldn’t want you to

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Four – She’s Something Else

    Dominic Sylvester “You should have opened the door when I knocked. Anyway, I was looking for you.” I wasn’t pleased to be in this situation. The faster I wrapped this up, the sooner I could get out of here. She might have helped me this time, but I couldn’t trust her at all. After all, she was a woman. They had a penchant for gaining your trust and entering your life only to betray you when you’re at your lowest. I had learned my lesson the hard way. My ex-wife, Kimberly Forester, was the only mistake of my life so far, and I intended to keep it that way. I had sworn never to go down that path again. “Why were you looking for me?” She gave me a look of disbelief. Her eyes were still wary, ready to defend herself. I couldn’t blame her. I had been a little harsh with her. It wasn’t her fault, though. When I saw her first, the wind had left my lungs. She looked so fresh, young, and lost, as if dropped from heaven for me. I hadn’t expected to notice her at all. Yet in that moment, my

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Three – Shameless

    Julietta / JuliaFor a moment, his question left me off balance. I blinked, certain I had heard him wrong. Why in the world would I stalk him? “Excuse me? Are you serious? Why would I stalk you when you’re hardly my type? Go find someone else to bug.” He stared back, his expression unreadable. My spine tingled with awareness as his eyes bore into mine. I was sure he could read my soul and my secrets. If he weren’t an as*hole, I would have fallen for his looks. Up close, he was so gorgeous; it gave me an inferiority complex. Chiseled cheekbones, sculpted lips, and a deep, smooth, velvety voice that poured into my bloodstream to make me flustered and wet. Was I overreacting to a man who hated me? “Good to know.” He closed the door in my face while I stood there like a fool. ‘Well, what else did you expect, Julietta?’ chided my inner mind. I didn’t know what I had expected, but definitely nothing romantic. The man was indifferent, unapproachable, rude, and strictly forbidden. I liked

    Julietta / JuliaWas he Vera Sylvester’s son? Well, I didn’t want to know anymore. I wanted to hide somewhere far away from the man’s piercing gaze. Whoever he was, I was sure he already hated me. The way he glared at me, I felt like a criminal standing trial.Brynne turned to call Leonardo to her side. Leonardo was Lucien Sylvester’s son from his previous failed marriage, and I had met him before. “Leo, who’s that beside your dad?” she asked in a whisper while I strained to listen to their conversation. “Oh, that’s Uncle Dominic. He’s Granny Vera’s oldest son, and my cousin Diego’s dad.” Leonardo walked away, but his words echoed in my head. He had a son! I could feel his unwavering gaze pinned on me since the moment I came here. Unable to control myself, I leaned in towards Daniella. “Why is he staring at me if he has a son already?” “Ignore him. I’ll ask Drake about his life history later.” She winked at me, but I scoffed. If he were a married man with a son, I obviously woul
