They disembarked from the ship to the vast stretches of sun-kissed beach of the private island with a natural harbor for their cruise ship. It was almost like paradise on Earth!

“Welcome to the Royal Cay, a private haven in the Bahamas!” Brynne gaped at him and then at the beauty all around. Did he own it?

She had thought it was the Great Stirrup Cay, as Daniella had explained to her earlier.

“Oh, do you own this place?” She blinked in a state of daze. How loaded was Luke to own an island here? Her gaze fell on the five bodyguards who followed them at a distance. No wonder he needed such heavy protection all the time.

“Yes. So, do you like it?” She sputtered on her spit, and he chuckled at her adorable reaction.

“Like it? I love it! Do you come here often?” She gazed at him with wide eyes.

“Occasionally.” Brynne gasped with surprise. Wasn’t he weird? If she would have owned such a place, she would have lived here forever. Who wanted to live in New York?

“Oh, you’re so odd.” He

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Forty-One – What’s In A Name? 

    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

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Forty – Can I Believe Her?

    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

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Thirty-Nine – Would He Patch Up With Kimberly?

    Julietta / Julia I had no wish to stay in Dominic’s apartment all by myself. With him still enjoying his pre-wedding bash, I preferred spending the day at Grandpa Nolan’s apartment. Therefore, I had no idea what happened to the car stalking me. I hid in the apartment all day until evening, when the men arrived. Dominic ignored me as usual. “Why did I waste my money on an apartment if my family prefers staying here?” Diego rolled his eyes at his dad. “You weren’t there, Dad.” Dominic gave him a disinterested look. “Since when did that affect you?” “Dom, you’re overreacting now.” Aunt Vera looked worked up. “It’s pre-wedding jitters, Aunt Vera,” chuckled Lucien. They joined in, and I wanted to hide from the embarrassment. “So how did the party go?” asked Aunt Sarah. “The party was okay. It could have been better, but I met Kimberly there.” Dominic glanced in my direction. I couldn’t hide my jealousy this time. So, was he considering getting back with her? “Oh! What did she s

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Thirty-Eight – An Eerie Feeling

    Julietta / Julia “Gosh, this is our first outing in the New Year. After the cruise, our lives have changed so much!” exclaimed Brynne, her eyes twinkling with happiness. Yes, it was true indeed. We had been so wrapped up in our lives, we had no time to catch up with one another. While Brynne and I did a few times, Daniella had been busy with her mom’s renowned bakery. “Yes. What would have happened if we hadn’t gone on the cruise? We would still have been single and ready to mingle.” Although I didn’t meet Dominic on the cruise, it had affected our meeting to some extent. The cruise brought Lucien and Brynne together, leading to their wedding. And it was at the wedding that I met Dominic. “I’m glad I went or I wouldn’t have ever found love,” said Brynne. Daniella drove towards the shopping mall, and I sighed. “I’m sure you would have met him at the office. If you’re destined to meet him, you will.” The flight was tonight, and I was glad I could catch up with my friends. After a

    DominicThe doorbell rang, and Damien opened the door. Leonardo rushed inside in a state of panic. The game was disrupted, and so was my inner peace. “Diego has hurt himself, Uncle Dominic. Please come to the clubhouse!” My heart sank with dread, and I sprang from my seat. “What happened to him?” I rushed out with him, and so did Lucien, Damien, and Julia. Leonardo looked frightened. “The ball hit him and he fainted, Uncle Dominic.” My heart sank with dismay, imagining the worst. “You should have been careful.” “I’ll get my car ready in case we need to take him to the hospital.” Lucien went to the basement car parking area while we jogged to the clubhouse. “Don’t you have any trainers at the clubhouse? It’s so dangerous to let the kids play with the adults.” Julia looked more panicked than any of us. “No, there’s no one, not even a security guard. The senior team was playing, and the ball hit us.” I frowned, noting to take this up with the management.“That’s a security breach,

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 3: Chapter Thirty-Six – Killing Me

    Dominic I felt frustrated watching Julia chat animatedly with Brynne and my mom. Were they more interesting than I? Did she forget about getting back to our apartment at the earliest? It seemed I would have to remind her. But how? With my mom and Aunt Sarah around, it would be an impossible feat. Julia’s lips twisted in the cutest little pouty frown, and all I could think of was to wipe that expression off her face with a deep kiss. Then I could fu*k her so hard that her expression would change to that of ecstasy instead. As if aware of my gaze on her, she turned to look at me. Her warm gaze alone made me rock hard under the dining table. I was glad it was there! I raised an eyebrow to remind her when she blushed and looked away. F*ck! I couldn’t tell her to get up and leave with me. “Julia, we’re leaving in ten minutes.” The moment the words left my mouth, all eyes focused on me. “So early? What about lunch? Are you planning to survive only on the starters?” Aunt Sarah chuckled
