“Going somewhere, Lena?” Damien leaned against the door of my bedroom and watched me. He was still shirtless, his unbelievably muscled chest gleaming with sweat. His fingers gripped the ends of a fluffy white towel hanging around his neck. There were small, soiled bandages wrapped around his fingers, and I could see the calluses on his hands. What had he been doing after dropping that bombshell news on my mom earlier?

I was mad at her for hiding it from me, her only daughter. While Damien

    Elena“Going somewhere, Lena?” Damien leaned against the door of my bedroom and watched me. He was still shirtless, his unbelievably muscled chest gleaming with sweat. His fingers gripped the ends of a fluffy white towel hanging around his neck. There were small, soiled bandages wrapped around his fingers, and I could see the calluses on his hands. What had he been doing after dropping that bombshell news on my mom earlier?I was mad at her for hiding it from me, her only daughter. While Damien and the entire world knew about it, I felt like a fool for my ignorance. Maybe she didn’t trust me well enough. It hurt, but I deserved it. I had never been there for her. I had defied her wishes and escaped four years ago.“Going to university.” I tried to ignore the heat emanating from his body. The way his eyes always darkened when they looked at me triggered wrong ideas in my head. I knew I should have grown accustomed to his bare torso by now, but I hadn’t. It was bothering me to the exten

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Twelve – Forced To Stay With Him

    Elena“No, wait. I’m indebted to you for rescuing me, Damien. But I can’t live here with you.” I tried my best to keep my eyes from wandering over his muscled torso. It was the most difficult task ever. Why couldn’t he wear a shirt? Did he roam around semi-naked at home? My virgin eyes couldn’t take it anymore. I had to escape before I lost my restraint and threw myself at him. One dark brow lifted as he picked up the plates. “Why not?” His gaze was on me, tracing leisurely from the top of my head to my toes, then back up to my face. I could feel my toes tingle with awareness. My mouth felt dry as I raked my brain for an answer. The determined look on his face proved he wasn’t letting me go. I had to come up with a pretty good excuse. “Umm, because I can’t commute daily to Syracuse from here. It’ll be suicidal in winter.” He grunted and walked away to the table. I followed him, watching the muscles on his back clench. He was stressed. I wondered why!“You aren’t going back there.

    ElenaRealization hit me hard. He was really here for me. Damien had fulfilled his promise. A sob broke out, and I felt myself collapsing to the ground, my strength failing me. Being tied up for so long without food and water, all my energy had drained while fighting the criminal. “Officer Drew, take the victim to the car,” barked the officer-in-charge. “Shit!” Damien rushed towards me, lunging forward to stop me from hitting the ground. My head reeled, and I felt myself covered by something warm and comfortable. It was his coat. I wrapped it around my body to cover my almost bare chest. The shirt had shredded, and the bra was the only thing that covered my torso. “Damien, I..” “It’s okay, Lena. I’ve got you.” He picked me up and enveloped me in his hard chest as if I were precious to him. I trembled like a leaf, snuggling into his warmth. I had made it feel alive. Relief washed over me. I was unharmed. Mike couldn’t touch me. “Are you okay? Did he..” A tremor went up his body a

    ElenaMy eyes widened in panic as a raw, animal terror coiled in my chest. With Mike sitting beside me, I couldn’t think of a way to escape. Anyway, it would have been an impossible feat with my limbs tied up. The gag prevented me from screaming for help. I regretted having disobeyed my mom. She was right. I should have stayed at home and pursued my education at the university nearby.But it was too late to regret. It would be a miracle if I survived this.“F*ck! They’re still tailing us! Conrad, swerve into the by-lane. Fast!” yelled Mike at his accomplice. The other two had opted out when the police started chasing us from Charles Street. I had no one here to tip off the police. It had to be an onlooker, a stranger who complained.“I can’t, bro. It’s a one-way. The only option is to follow this road northwards to Oneida Lake. The police won’t let us go. Let’s dump the girl here and flee. I’ve already served a prison term. I don’t want to go down that path again.” Conrad gave him a h

    Damien Sylvester For almost an hour, I looked around the campus for Elena, going to the building that housed first-semester post-graduation students. But she didn’t live here, and no one knew her. But I wasn’t giving up. I would seek her out and take her home with me.Back in Beacon, we had been calling her all day, but she had ignored our calls. After her sudden disappearance, Aunt Jess broke down completely. In Alex’s absence, she requested me to find out about Elena. “I will seek her out, Aunt Jess. I’ll take care of her.”I knew she had fled because of me. Guilt ate me up. I should have stopped her from leaving. Last night, her drunken meltdown was proof enough of her intentions. Why hadn’t I taken it seriously? I shouldn’t have left Elena alone. Mad fury coursed through my veins at my bad luck. If only I could find a solution to my problem! If only I could get rid of Everly! It was because of her that Elena had left. Why did Everly have to return? Aunt Jess hugged me with re

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Eight – A Dreary Beginning

    ElenaI looked around the rental apartment within walking distance of the campus. It was a three-bedroom unit with a final-year student already occupying the other rooms. I wanted to opt for an on-campus accommodation, but currently, there are no rooms available. “I’ll take it. When can I move in?” Mr. Gates, the landlord, smiled with relief. “Right away if you pay the rent and security deposit.” So, we completed the formalities, and I was ready to move in. Mom would panic if I informed her about my accommodation options. The room was furnished and clean, and so was the rest of the apartment. Now, I waited to meet my flatmate. All I knew about her was that she was a final-year MBA student. I didn’t have to wait long. After ten minutes, the door clicked open, and footsteps echoed into the still house. “Do you have a flatmate now, Mel?” asked a male voice. “Yeah, that’s what Mr. Gates said,” said a female voice. “Shit! Wouldn’t that be a problem now?” asked another male voice. I
