The Deal with the Billionaire Devil Chapter 15
TARA“Did you just threaten me—”“In your office, in your building? No, Mr. Linden, but I’m warning you.”Instead of throwing me insults, he smiled. “Let’s not cut our heads off here. Asking about you is a double-edged sword. That’s why I went to the source. Yes, Alessia asked me to find you, but I swear, she’s a good person, and she promised me she wouldn’t do anything to harm you, but I wasn’t aware who you were until I found out you were a Serevian citizen, and a—”“Exiled.” Honestly, I exiled myself until my father stripped me of my privilege and titles.“Yes. I’m sorry to hear that,” he said genuinely.“What do you want with that information?”“A friend of mine asked a favor to dig into your life.”“May I ask who?”“I’m sorry, he’s a client. I can’t tell you that.”“You can’t or you won’t?”He chuckled. “I’ve met princesses, but you’re by far the most interesting one.”“Don’t let Caprian royals hear you say that.” I breathed deeply. “Look. I know I’m asking you a lot, and he’s al

TARA“Where are you going this time?” Mr. Brown asked, glaring. “I’m done with my work, and I need to renew my passport, or you know, I can be deported.” I still didn’t get why he was too hard on me after I did everything he asked. “Fine. You can take the rest of the day off.” “Wait. What?” I wasn’t expecting that. I stared at him for a moment before I broke into a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Brown.” I ran back to my desk before he could change his mind. I just reached the lobby when my phone rang. It was Olive, probably asking for an update. “I have an appointment, Olive. The publisher didn’t like it, did they?” “Nope.” There was a moment of silence, and my heart just sank. “They love it!” I pulled the phone away from my ear because she could damage my eardrum in ten seconds. When I pressed it back, she was calling my name. “Tara, are you still there? We need to celebrate.” “Celebrate for what?” “Are you even listening to me?” “No. How could I when you kept screaming into my ea

TARA“What’s that baseball cap supposed to do? Hide your face? Poor disguise.” I couldn’t help but smile. “Does anyone even want your photograph here in this town?”“Anyone who hates me will because I’m a heartless, horrible person. Don’t underestimate someone’s hatred.” He fixed his leather gloves like he was about to hit someone.“Glad to know that I’m invisible, a nobody.” I snapped a picture of the mountains covered in snow. The weather was a little bit chilly, but I was used to it. My country was cold even in summer and freezing in winter. “Cold?” He turned to me, took off his muffler, and put it around my neck. I thought his gesture was sweet and thoughtful.“Do you realize I lived in a country where cold didn’t bother me? But thanks.” I pulled the collar of my coat and smiled. “Figured. Cold didn’t bother you back at the chalet.” Everytime he mentioned chalet, it made me smile. I felt like he was making fun of me.I stopped and looked around. “It’s peaceful here. Look at the

MAD“Excuse me?” I stared at Tara in disbelief. She put down the plate of chocolate mousse on the bedside table and looked at me. “I wanna feel safe and comfortable around you. I wanna know I can trust you. Is that too much to ask?” “But that’s two months, Tara.” I got up from bed, running my fingers through my hair. I expected a month to prepare, and then we got married, but apparently, Tara made everything difficult for us when it shouldn’t have been this complicated. “What’s the rush? If you want people to buy that we’re in love, this is how we do this. We should build our relationship in trusts. We do it as authentically as possible because I’m a terrible liar, and I can’t fake—” “Then you just have to sell it.” I glared at her, and she glared back. “Then you just have to find another fake bride. The last time I checked, you needed me, not the other way around.” “What made you agree to this whole charade, Tara? What did Alessia have in you?” I needed to know because I felt l

TARAThrough blurry vision, I reread the email I received five minutes ago. I wanted to make sure I didn’t misread a word. The more I read it, the more my heart broke, and my fear came true. She was gone, and I didn’t even get to see her smile one last time and hear her voice calling my name. I cried in bed alone with all my raw emotions crashing down on me. Regrets cut the deepest, though. I wished I had reached out to her soon enough, but I kept my promise not to involve her more than she already had because I knew what my family could do to her. “God, I’m so sorry, Mariana.” I curled into a ball, crying in silence, but it wasn’t enough to dull the pain. Maybe it shouldn’t. Maybe I should endure it for me to feel it was real, that I wasn’t dreaming, or that it wasn’t a nightmare that she was gone. “Tara?” Mad called my name, followed by a soft knock. I froze, didn’t know what to do. I completely forgot about the dessert. When I received the email during dinner, I excused myself

MAD“Something smells delicious around here.” Tara just walked into the kitchen in a dark red long-sleeve medi-dress. Her long, wavy hair cascaded down her shoulders. She put on light makeup to accentuate her whole outfit, while I was only in denim jeans and a dark sweater. “Let me help.” “Sir?” It was a good thing Nites called me. I blinked and smiled. “It’s fine—” “There are only three of us in your cabin.” She made an emphasis on the word cabin. “Unless you found a bear outside and became your best friend while I was upstairs.” She opened some drawers, searching for something. “The silverware is in the next drawer,” said Nites, giving me a look. “Right. Thanks.” She smiled politely, grabbed the silverware and plates, and left for the dining room. “Sir, are you okay?” “Not a word.” Since when did I become speechless over a woman? That never happened. I just couldn’t help but think how easy it was to be with her earlier, like we’d known each other since we were little. What I

TARA“Wait. You read this book, too?” I blinked rapidly and shook off the thought in my head. One way or another, he had to know who I was, but maybe before we get married. God, even the thought of marrying a stranger formed a knot in my stomach. I ran away from the same mess, and here I was abou

MADI read the action fantasy, mystery romance book Alessia gave me. I was only on chapter 3, and I was already hooked. As I read the heroine’s description, my mind went back to Tara. She was beautiful and seemed enigmatic, and I felt like she kept herself wrapped in a lot of secrets. I asked Ale

TARAThe timing was terrible. I was about to hit my bed when my VDP system just notified me on my phone. What shocked me even more was to see the faces behind my apartment door.“What the hell?” I looked down at my pajamas as I walked out of my room. “What do they want with me at this time?” “Tara

MAD “Kolby,” Linden called him. The couple came, smiling. “Aren’t you everywhere?” Spade chuckled. I knew what he meant. “You were at the masquerade ball and later on, at Sawyer Porter’s party. And the next morning, your face was all over the internet.” “I wish people knew about the ball rather
