Anger coursed through her at his admission. How could he take advantage of her in her sleep? “You took advantage of me while I was sleeping, right? That’s unforgivable, Luke.” Brynne felt betrayed and whirled around to leave. Let him go to hell. He wasn’t what he portrayed to her.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his suite. “I didn’t. You begged me to please you. I was there only to escort you to my place for dinner. But you stripped me of my clothes.” The sparkle in his eyes was back and Brynne had no idea if he was speaking the truth or just messing with her. “Maybe you were dreaming about me, Brynne.”

Her cheeks flushed with color at being caught. Yes, she had been dreaming about him. Who wouldn’t? But did she really behave so recklessly with him?

“N-no, I don’t believe you. I did nothing of the sort.” It was her only defense to save herself from becoming a laughingstock in front of him.

He pulled her flush against his hard chest. “Do you want me to show you what you did? We

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Twenty-Three – Dominic Forgets His Limits

    Julietta / JuliaI flicked through the document he handed me. What was there to go through? It had to be full of selfish conditions to protect his interests and assets in this fake wedding. I had no problems with those.The first condition made me boil with rage.It stated that I would have no claim to his wealth, assets, and property as his wife.Second, I would receive no alimony if the marriage ended.I couldn’t read more.Picking up a pen from the desk, I signed the agreement.How could he think so low of me? I didn’t need his money to survive. I could earn my livelihood.Placing the document on his desk, I lay down on the bed, keeping to my side. Hanging precariously at the edge, I hoped he wouldn’t get the wrong idea about me. I wasn’t here for his money.Disappointment washed over me. I had thought I had found a family I could belong to, a man who would really love me, and a home to call my own. But it was all a lie. My life was based on a lie. Where would I go when Dominic th

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Twenty-Two – In His Bedroom 

    Julietta / JuliaA gasp escaped my lips, and I rose, watching Dominic with surprise. Why was he being so charming when this was an act? He wasn’t the type to propose on one knee! The way his hand clasped mine, a warm tingle went up my arm. He seemed to note every little reaction of mine, his intense gaze holding me captive. “Julia, will you give me a chance? Will you marry me?” He looked tense, as if fighting an inner battle. My mouth hung open. I was a little disappointed. Was that all he would say? Was that his proposal? “Julia..” He gave me a stressed look. It brought me to my senses. With everyone watching us, I couldn’t let him down. “Yes, Dominic. I’ll marry you.” My cheeks flushed with color as I used his name for the first time. He smiled with satisfaction and pushed the ring onto my finger. Loud applause and congratulatory wishes poured in. Dominic rose, standing awkwardly by my side. “Thanks, everyone. The wedding is next Monday in Santorini, Greece. All of you are

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Twenty-One – My Weird Fiancé 

    Julietta / JuliaEver since Aunt Vera started planning our engagement, Dominic had disappeared. I hadn’t seen him since lunch. Diego had no idea where his dad was. It was as if he had abandoned me here after announcing his decision to marry me. The entire family drove me crazy with their questions about us. What could I tell them? “I’m so happy today, Julia! From the day I saw you, I knew you were the one for Dom.” Aunt Vera and I had come over to a boutique to buy a dress for me. She paid no heed to my protests. So here we were with already three dresses bought so far. With no money in my wallet, I felt embarrassed that she had splurged so much on me. “Oh! How? He hardly acknowledges my presence.” I watched her pick up an expensive turquoise dress. She smiled and waved me off. “That’s what you think. I find him always looking at you differently. So, how’s this dress for your pre-wedding party in Greece? I want you to wear it.” My mouth hung open, but not because of the dress. How

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Twenty –  His Marriage Proposal Or Order?

    Julietta/JuliaI gaped at him for a minute. Did I hear him correctly? “Excuse me?” I was sure I had imagined that. Why else would he ask me to marry him? He smiled to see how confused I was. Who wouldn’t be if you dropped such a question on them abruptly? “Will you marry me, Julia?” He repeated, but this time I could see the amusement in his eyes.Was he playing some game with me? “Are you sick or something?” He nodded with a smirk. “Or something.” He watched me closely while I tried to get a grip on myself. “So do I take it as an affirmative?” I shook my head vigorously, looking around to check if anyone was around. I didn’t want others to eavesdrop on our conversation. “No, please. I can’t marry you, Mr. Sylvester. I’m your employee.” Did he forget he had appointed me as his au pair? “We haven’t signed an agreement. So what’s stopping you from marrying me?” He watched me closely. I panicked, unable to tell him about my real identity. What if he fell into trouble? What if Migue

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Nineteen  - A Sticky Situation 

    Dominic I didn’t know how to tell Julia about the situation we were in. Diego had returned from football practice and churned up a tornado here. A few of his friends had bullied him when he boasted about his new mom! They drilled into his head that his parents needed to be legally wedded to live under a roof! Now he refused to settle for an au pair and announced our wedding to the family. My grandfather and mom were over the moon with happiness, and I had no way of bursting their happy bubble. I urgently needed to talk to my son, but it would be an impossible feat here with so many supporters surrounding him.How would Julia react to it? The door opened, and Mom peered out with a bright smile on her face. Thankfully, I was saved from answering Julia. But I had landed in a bigger mess now. How would I save myself from my family? What if they had planned this event to get me engaged to Julia? After all, it was a rare feat for Dominic Sylvester to agree to marry someone. My family h

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Eighteen  - Diego’s Handiwork

    Julietta / Julia “Are you staying with us forever?” Although Diego tried to curb his excitement, I knew he was happy with this arrangement. I had no problem staying at home and looking after the house and him. “I can’t promise forever. But yes, I’m staying for a long time.” “Great. So, will you be my mom like Aunt Brynne is to Leo?” He gave me a hopeful look. The situation might have left a lasting effect on him. For years, he and Leo had grown up together, sharing the same single-parent situation. Now that Leo had found a loving mother, Diego was desperate to find the same for himself at all costs. I couldn’t decline him. “You can call me Mom.” I smiled at him, serving his dinner. Ever since Mr. Sylvester announced his employment offer, he had disappeared into his study. Diego had summoned him twice for dinner, yet there were no signs of him joining us. “Thanks, Mom. That’s what I’ll call you. Hang on, I have to inform Leo right away.” He gave me a wide smile as he typed a mess
