TARA

When my question remained unanswered, I turned to my mother, slightly offended. “Mom, I asked. What about Damian?”

In the case of Olive, I didn’t want to feel like I was obligating Olive or that I was using her or forcing her to get the job because she was my best friend. She could stay here and find a job that she wanted, not from my mother’s offer.

“Damian will work behind the desk as Strategic oversight. You and Mad are both prominent figures. Aside from being a royal member, you’re al

  • The Deal with the Billionaire Devil   Chapter 269

    TARA“My kidnapping?” I looked at them. I felt ambushed, and I felt like the dark clouds of uncertainty and dread loomed around us. “What about it?”Agent Montgomery showed the papers. “We came through a legal attache that allows us to conduct an investigation—”“Provided you have permission from our government. I’m aware of it, but you don’t have the authority to arrest on foreign soil, but as a liaison.”“Yes, ma’am. We abide by the treaties and cooperate with local enforcement.”“And where are they?” I didn’t want to be an uncooperative bitch, but I knew my right as a Serevian citizen.”“We’re not here to—”“Accuse me?” I cut off Special Agent Thornton. “Arrest me? You’re here to ask me questions which I can refuse without my lawyers around.”“You know your rights, ma’am.”I glared at Mad, who remained silent on the chair. “I’ll cooperate. What do you wanna know?”“I hope you can tell us about your stay and identify who is involved.”“Were.”They looked surprised.“There are five o

  • The Deal with the Billionaire Devil   Chapter 268

    TARAWith a teary eye, I spun before Olive and Ali, wearing my bridal trousseau. The gown was exactly what I envisioned wearing on my wedding day.“Holy fucking shit!” Olive had wide eyes as she stared at me, particularly at the gown.“Oh, my God.” Ali was genuinely surprised as she looked at me from head to toe. “Wow. I don’t know what to say.”“Babe.” Olive blinked her teary eyes. “You look ethereal, surreal, stunning. You look like an angel just fell from the sky. I don’t even know what I’m saying.”“Me, too, Your Royal Highness.” Ali shrugged with a dreamy look on her face. “I’m literally speechless.”“Did I do justice, Your Highness?” Jessie Ra asked me with a great pride glittering in her eyes.“Are you kidding me?” I gestured with my hand for her to come close because I was on the platform. I was still relishing this moment. “Come here.”Smiling, she stepped closer. I took her hands. “I never doubted even for a second that’s why I picked you. We have the same vision, and I kno

  • The Deal with the Billionaire Devil   Chapter 267

    MADIt had been two days since we got back from Everstorm, and I still hadn’t heard back from Linden or the hachet man. This plan, my plan, had started to get futile each day as the wedding was approaching. I was expecting our lives to get back to normal as we got ourselves busy with the wedding preparation. Instead, here I was, trying to find the needle in the haystack, scrolling down through Sawyer’s social media accounts. “Fuck,” I muttered under my breath as I shut down my laptop. I began to feel a slight hypersensitivity to the light. I rubbed my eyes, and I wasn’t aware that Seth was already standing at the door. “I knocked twice.” Seth was actually friendly, dependable, and smart. “Sorry. Please, come in.” “Thank you.” He looked around as he entered. “You haven’t hired someone to decorate your office?”“Yeah. I’ll keep it like this until I get back from the honeymoon.” I watched his reaction. All I got was his smile— a genuine smile. “I can hire an interior designer for y

  • The Deal with the Billionaire Devil   Chapter 266

    MAD“I already talked to him, and he admitted it.”Tara was beyond angry, but I wouldn’t let Valentine ruin her day. “Let’s go outside. Since I can’t ski, we’ll use the snowmobile.”“Where?”I smiled. “I don’t know, Your Highness. This is your place, it’s time you show me around.”Her anger dissipated slowly as we put our coats on. Damian had already brought out one showmobile for us. “Thanks, man,” I said, putting on my gloves.“Be careful out there,” he told Tara. “I got my panic button and our phones,” I told him to assure that he didn’t have to worry.He nodded and headed towards the door.“Hey,” Tara called him. “Lori is waiting.”I chuckled as I hopped onto the mobile, turning the engine on.“For what?” He looked confused.“Chat with her, duh. She likes you. Time for you to have fun, old man. And she called you Serevian bear. Isn’t that cute?”I watched Damian enter the house before I put the helmet on her head. “What are you doing, baby? Playing matchmaker again?”“Yeah. Lori

  • The Deal with the Billionaire Devil   Chapter 265

    TARA“Who? What friend?”His jaw flexed. “Baby—”“No.” My voice was low but firm. “Don’t treat me like a child, Mad. I’m the Crown Princess, for God’s sake, who is to be your wife.”“That’s exactly the point, baby.” He faced me, dark eyebrows pulled low over his eyes. “This man I’m talking about is—”“Italian mafia don. I know.” I reached a decision a long time ago. “We’re not doing that again. And the less you know, the better it doesn’t work on me anymore. I’m as much involved as you in this situation. I’m a victim as much as you do.”“Okay,” he said softly, but his face was hard as he turned to Damian. “Who’s his pro friend?”“Pro?” I looked at them, puzzled.Damian’s eyebrows rose. His gaze was inscrutable. “You’re—”Mad shrugged. “I heard his good. I wanna clean this mess before we get married.”“What are you two talking about?” I gripped onto Mad’s arm. “Well, his hatchet man is a woman.” Damian briefly looked at me. “But I’m not sure your friend is easy to find.”“Oh, wow. A w

  • The Deal with the Billionaire Devil   Chapter 264

    MAD“His pictures and profile are already in the royal intelligence. He won’t risk his life coming to Serevia,” Damian affirmed.“Not if he already changed his look, or he’s already here. Sawyer is also a chameleon. My family and I did not suspect he was a bad guy who had been manipulating me and fooling me for years.” I sat back, holding Tara’s hand to sit with me.Valentine stared at me. “So, there’s a possibility that he’s not Sawyer anymore? Do you think he underwent reconstructive facial surgery?”“I really don’t know, but he’s wanted by your government. Osmium has been looking for him, and they can’t seem to find him. I told Linden to grab him or tip the police, but he said, Sawyer might go to jail but would still plan for payback once he’s done his jail time.”“He hasn’t been caught on CCTV. It’s possible.” I wished Damian hadn’t agreed with me. I wished I was wrong on this because if Sawyer had changed his face, then even if we may have already encountered him, we still wouldn

    TARAAcceptance wasn’t easy, but denial was. What I had been through scarred me for life. I smiled, but I wasn’t myself. I felt like a stranger in my own body. I felt like a walking corpse as I walked into his stunning modern mansion. My heart, my soul, my mind were somewhere, hidden, still locked

  • The Deal with the Billionaire Devil   Chapter 75

    MADMaybe I was a vengeful person. For years, I blamed Logan for the death of my sister. But deep inside, I blamed myself more because I couldn’t save her, and losing her traumatized me, and I was terrified of being in that position again, of losing someone I loved.Seeing her neck and wrist covere

    TARAI am home. I couldn’t believe I made it home alive. A familiar embrace, his voice, his touch, his scent, and his kiss overwhelmed me. And the kiss was something. It was warm, full of passion, longing, and desperation. And I missed it. I missed him. I didn’t want to let go. I didn’t want to b

    MADI had a headache from the lack of sleep and non-stop traveling. I was still holding the flash drive Alonso gave me. He got his money, and I wished he would meet the end of the bargain.Linden didn’t look happy the entire flight back to New York. “I hope he’s not playing with us.”“I will hire
