A Deal With The Devil 🥀Chapter 10🥀
Installments. The word just hung in the air between them. Finn looked right at her. He slowly set the drink he had just gotten for himself, down on the desk. Then he pushed himself off the edge of the desk and walked toward her. He stopped so close to her that she had to force herself not to lean back on the couch. He tilted his head. He raised one eyebrow just a tiny bit, but on his face, that small look felt as loud as someone yelling. "Installments," he repeated. His voice was low, almost gentle. He sounded like a guy turning a word over in his mouth just to prove how dumb it sounded. "Did the perfect Calloway heiress just ask me...." he paused, "for a payment plan?" Selene held her breath for exactly one second. Then she let it out. "I'm not broke," she said. She chose to use pure confidence as her currency since her account was completely empty. "You're just ridiculously rich. There's a difference." "And is that a crime?" "It's an inconvenience." His jaw ti

She took the folder. Inside were nine rules, neatly listed. No complicated legal talk, just straight-to-the-point terms. It was exactly how a guy like Finn Leighton would do things.

The door swung open. And there he was. Finn Leighton. In the flesh. He stood right in the doorway, He looked across the room with those pale ocean eyes, taking in the whole situation, the shelf, the floor, and the spectacular mess of white, purple, and gold pieces scattered all over his ash-colored tiles. He looked like someone whose first reaction to a surprise was never to make a loud noise. The silence lasted for about five seconds. Selene was already moving. She got right on her knees next to the shelf, scooping up the broken pieces as fast as she could. Her white suit pants were dragging right against the floor, but she couldn't care less about that right now. "It was an accident," she said, looking down at the mess. She grabbed the biggest chunks, moving fast because her brain told her that if she cleaned it up quickly, maybe it wouldn't be as bad. She glanced up at him for a split second. "I didn't mean to...it just slipped..." She looked back down. "I'm sorry." F

The caller ID read: Unknown. Selene stared at it for exactly one second, then picked up. "Hello?" Silence. It wasn't the kind of silence where the call dropped. It felt like someone was actually on the line, just choosing not to speak yet. It was way creepier than hearing static. Then, a voice broke through. "Morning, Miss Calloway." She felt a lump in her throat. She knew that voice. She had only heard it once, out on that dim terrace during that crazy conversation, but it had apparently locked itself inside her brain forever. She stepped a little further away from her security guard. "Morning," she said, keeping her voice soft and giving nothing away. "Mr. Leighton." "So." He paused. It was deliberate, like someone who knows you're waiting on his every word and wants to see you sweat. "I thought about your offer." She completely stopped breathing. She didn't mean to, but her lungs just decided to go on strike until further notice. She closed her eyes, stood

The shouting woke her up before she was even fully conscious. Selene slowly drifted out of sleep, the way she always did in this house. This room was usually so thick with quiet that any noise from the outside world felt totally out of place. She lay still for a second, listening closely, trying to figure out if the yelling was real or just the end of a bad dream. Then she heard her dad's voice. It was distinct and unmistakable. It cut right through the morning air with that kind of pitch Victor used when he decided that being loud was the same thing as being in charge. She pulled her sleep mask off. Grey morning light filled the room, looking soft. It was like a peaceful morning that had no idea what was about to happen to it. She grabbed her phone off the nightstand. 9:47 a.m. She sat up, swung her legs over the edge of the bed, and slid her feet into her slippers. She walked out of the room with her eyes still heavy, struggling to blink away the sleep. ---- The

The silence stretched. And stretched. Somewhere in the middle of it, Selene became uncomfortably aware of exactly what she had just said. She realized how crazy it sounded coming out of her mouth, and how Finn Leighton was staring at her in the dim light. He looked at her like she was some random object that had dropped out of the sky right in front of him, and he hadn't decided what category to put her in yet. She kept her chin up anyway. Inside, she was beginning to feel spectacularly stupid. Then he laughed. It wasn't the kind of laugh people make when they are genuinely surprised. It wasn't big or unguarded. It was a short sound that lived entirely inside his chest and never quite made it to his eyes. It was a boardroom laugh. It was the response of a guy who had heard weird things before and had a professional way of handling them. "Miss Calloway." He tilted his head slightly. Those ocean eyes carried a tiny hint of amusement, if amusement was something he actually
