Julietta / Julia

My body ached, but the pain was nothing compared to the one in my heart. Ever since the day we arrived in Santorini, Dominic and I had enjoyed physical proximity every time we were together. But it somehow felt like a ritual. It wasn’t the lovemaking we had shared the first time. Somehow, the magic was lost. In the blink of an eye, my world had crumbled before I could have built it. Why did Kimberly always hold the upper hand in my relationship with Dominic?

He hardly stayed after a fu*k, spending the night somewhere else. I knew something was bothering him, but I couldn’t reach out. Then why was he marrying me if his heart didn’t agree?

He was free to cancel everything and return after a nice vacation with his family. He could just kick me out of his life and embrace his ex-wife instead.

For the last few days, he had always been busy with his mom and grandpa, escorting them to museums, wellness centers, and other boring places. The others had been going out to exp

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Forty-Four – What Did Kimberly Want? 

    Julietta / JuliaWe could hardly catch our breath when they whisked us away to explore the Akrotiri archeological site nearby. “We’ve dropped our shopping plan,” said Brynne. Dominic threaded his fingers through mine, and we walked like a couple in love. After the way he had addressed me, I was thoroughly confused. Why did he call me ‘love’?“All this volcanic ash preserved the Minoan city,” said Drake as we navigated through an impressive network of buildings and rooms filled with earthenware. It gave us a rough idea of how life was like in Akrotiri around 3000 B.C. The Minoan frescoes depicted vibrant scenes of their everyday lives. With Dominic explaining the scenes to me, I could vividly imagine it all. “I can’t go another step forward without a stopover. Let’s stop for lunch, please,” said Elena. Diego and Leonardo agreed wholeheartedly.“I want pizza,” said Lucas, Lucien’s younger son. We headed towards our vehicle while the kids searched for pizzerias nearby. The vehicle d

    DominicShe was so f*cking pretty! It took me an effort not to growl at the sight of her pus*y. ‘Calm down, Dom! Give her time to adjust to you!’ prodded my inner mind. Yet my hand sneaked between our bodies to touch her silken skin. But I pulled her forward instead until our bodies molded perfectly. I could feel her slick folds rubbing against my leg. It drove me wild.After my admission, would she let me make love to her? How did I get this obsessed with her? It seemed she had ruined me for life. This definitely wasn’t a simple obsession. It was an elemental need coupled with something else. Was it love? This time, I couldn’t rule out the possibility. Her eyes glazed with need as she listened to me intently. “Mm hmm, and how can I make this place your favorite? Is there a secret spell for it?” She chuckled as if to tease me. “By giving in..” I ran my fingers down her back until I found the hem of her top. My hand slid up underneath it, making her gasp. She threaded her hand thro

    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

    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

    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
