ManipulativeRevengeDark RomanceSecond ChanceruthlessContract MarriageMarriage first, love secondHumor“Sign the contract and your heart, body and soul will forever be mine,” Adonis said, a wicked glint in his eyes. *** I saw the signs coming, but I was blinded by love, and the desire to believe that my marriage was as perfect as it seemed. That all came crashing down when I found my husband in bed with my cousin. The man I thought I knew was a monster. He shattered my heart, my dreams and my life. But I wasn't going to let him get away with it. I was going to make him pay. He had taken everything away from me, and now was my turn to return the favor. That was when I devised a plan to bring his empire crashing down around him. I would get close to his half-brother, Adonis Sandoval, a man as cold and ruthless as the devil himself. They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer. My ex-husband would pay for what he’d done to me, and Adonis Sandoval would be the instrument of his downfall. But it wasn't going to be that easy. Adonis was no fool; he was as dangerous and cunning as they say. But he stirred a desire in me I thought I’d buried, igniting my passion. As we grew closer, my plan for revenge blurred, but I couldn’t forget why I was here. I had already handed my soul to the devil on a contract, and the path I’d chosen was a dark one, but I was no longer afraid of the shadows. I would get my revenge. But at what cost?

The Devil’s Contract Chapter 12
I felt like I was losing my balance as a wave of dizziness washed over me.Had I heard correctly?He began to walk towards me, like a predator closing in on its prey. My heart raced as I struggled to breathe calmly. As he drew closer, my legs moved on their own as I stepped back until my back was pressed against the door.His imposing height and huge frame loomed over me, making me feel small and invisible to him. He had me cornered, making it clear that I wouldn't be escaping.“I’ll say it one more time,” he said in a calm tone, lowering his head until our gazes locked. His eyes darkened, and the sight of them sent shivers down my spine, “kneel.”“If this is some kind of joke, I don't find it funny,” I managed to say, my voice barely audible.Suddenly, his hand seized my jaw in a tight grip, causing me to release a shocked gasp. The pressure of his fingers pressing into my jaw sent a sharp pain coursing through me.What chilled me to the bone and made me surrender was the hardened lo
The Devil’s Contract Chapter 11
Trying to hide my embarrassment, I placed a hand on my hip and faced him. I wondered just how much of our conversation he might’ve overheard.Hopefully not all of it.“Just playing the role of the loving doting wife,” I tried to maintain my cool and composure, but my strained voice betrayed me.“Your first day here and you’re already bullying my employees,” he said calmly.“Maybe your employees shouldn’t go around threatening people,” I bit back, then unable to resist, I added, “And maybe you should stop sleeping with your workers, it’s demeaning.”His expression didn’t waver, though his eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t bother to deny my accusations, meaning I was right, and that stirred an uncomfortable sensation in my gut. Not wanting to have any more of this conversation, I excused myself and he didn't try to stop me. Just as I was almost exiting the crowd, my phone rang and my heart lit up when I saw Amelia’s name pop up on my screen.“Hey sis,” I chimed, glad to hear from her, “How
The Devil’s Contract Chapter 10
ESTELLE’S POVI stood in the restroom, my breaths coming fast as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The woman in front of me was scared, worried and angry. She was a fragile woman who had let her heart get viciously ripped out of her chest and served on a platter by the one she had loved.I couldn’t let that woman take control over me anymore. She was a liability, a weakness that could sabotage everything I had planned for. Tears welled in my eyes as I traced the place he’d touched me, where his grip had been firm.Adonis.The thought of him drove me to the edge. What did he even want from me? My submission? Was that how he derived pleasure, for treating women like sluts?‘But it’s your fault, Estelle. You asked for it. You signed the contract knowing exactly what you were getting into,’ the faint voice in my head blurted out, rubbing this whole thing in my face.“Fuck him. Fuck Adonis,” I snapped at no one in particular.A stall suddenly opened behind me, causing tension to c
The Devil’s Contract Chapter 9
ADONIS’S POV I watched as Estelle waltzed away, her backside moving confidently like a gazelle. Her seductive scent lingered, filling my lungs. I couldn't get over the taste and feel of her skin off my mind. If I hadn't been interrupted, I might've fucked here there and then. But that wasn't going to happen until she gets on her knees for me and beg to be fucked to insanity. The conversation we had in the car brought me out of my nasty thoughts. A searing rage like nothing I had ever felt coursed through me when I’d seen the bruise on her wrist. All I could think of was snapping Eric’s neck like a twig. But then, I realized just how different we were as much as we were similar. I could never let my emotions get the best of me, and let people trapple all over all in the name of… Love. The word sounded foreign to me because all my life, the only love I let consume me had my love for my mother, and where had that gotten her… Beneath the earth, buried in her grave. My chest tigh
The Devil’s Contract Chapter 8
The next morning, Marie woke me up as early as five in the morning, informing me that I would be going to Adonis’s office. After I was done making preparations for the day, I headed downstairs for breakfast. Adonis was already seated at his usual spot, his food untouched as he spoke on a phone call. “Schedule the meeting for 9 am. I need enough time for my wife to settle in,” his gaze shifted to me when he said the last part as if wanting to see my reaction. There was a hint of pride in his tone and I wondered why. I settled into my seat and began to eat my breakfast. The silence was deafening and all that could be heard was the clanking of my cutlery on the plate. Immediately he ended the call, and I spoke. “Morning.” “Morning. Did you sleep well?” he asked, his tone devoid of any emotion as usual. “I did, thank you,” I decided to act nice and caring myself If he could be as well, “How about you?” “Fine,” was his stern reply. As he started eating, I couldn't help but watch h
The Devil’s Contract Chapter 7
ESTELLE’S POVI sat in front of the dresser, staring into the mirror as I applied my makeup. I was going for a confident, powerful look tonight, perfect for tonight’s event. Attending an event my ex-husband who tried to murder you, would be present wasn’t a wise decision, and could be traumatic. Yet here I was, eager to attend.Once, I loved Eric but not anymore. All I felt for him was a searing hatred that could lit a forest. My primary reason for going to this event was to flaunt to Eric that I was alive, thriving, sexier than ever, and married to his half-brother.A sadistic smile tugged on my lips as I imagined what the look on his face would be when he saw me. It’d be priceless.Just as I was going for a dark shade of pink lipstick, I recalled Adonis’s rule. Dropping the lipstick, I went for the deepest red shade and smudged it on my lips. It was ridiculous; the rules and the whole punishment thing, but deep down, I found myself wanting to impress him.Why was that? I had no ide
The Devil’s Contract Chapter 6
ADONIS’S POV As soon as I stepped into the mansion, I knew she was already here. She had an aura about her that was impossible to miss, commanding attention wherever she went. When she entered a room, everyone noticed, and when she left, her absence was always felt. “Good evening,” Marie greeted me as I handed her my blazer, “Mrs Sandoval has already arrived.” I loved the fact that she bore my name, “Where is she?” “In her room. Dinner is prepared and the table is set for both of you.” “We’ll be there shortly,” I dismissed her before ascending the stairs. Normally, I would head straight to my room but this time, I turned towards hers. Her room wasn’t far from mine, making sure it was close to mine, just across the hall. On reaching the door, I knocked lightly, and when I got no response, I pushed it open and walked in uninvited. The moment I sighted her, something stirred within me. She lay on the bed in a fetal position, resembling a curled-up cat. She didn’t seem to notice I w
The Devil’s Contract Chapter 5
A few hours after signing the contract and heading back home, the movers showed up at my doorstep. I directed them to my room before telling them what to move and what to leave behind, and as I watched them move my things into the van, my mind raced with negative thoughts. A part of me wanted to run away from all of this, but the other part stood her ground. There was no going back now. I already signed the contract, and Adonis didn’t seem like the kind of person to change his mind. As I leaned against the door frame, a glistering light flashed in my eye, and when I looked down, I realized it came from the diamond ring sitting nicely on my finger. Running my fingers across its magnificent structure, I found my heart beating fast as I recalled the way he wore the ring on me. I could almost feel his fingers caressing mine again. “I’m coming with you.” Amelia’s voice jolted me from my not-so-pure thoughts, and I followed her gaze as it landed on my ring. “He already got you
The Devil’s Contract Chapter 4
“Are you sure you’re making the right choice?” Amelia asked me for the 100th time.Sighing, I applied the brightest red lipstick I had, packed my luscious raven hair in a bun, and then let it down, indecisive.“In a bun, or laid down?” I asked her, completely ignoring her question. I watched her reaction from the mirror, noticing how her shoulders dropped and her facial features creased in worry.“Laid down makes you look like a sexy boss,” she said, smiling softly and I couldn't agree more. I let my wavy hair down and applied a dark eyeshadow that complimented my emerald green eyes.When I was done with the makeup, I walked up to the bed where she sat and pulled her into a tight hug.“I have to do this, Amelia, or I’ll never live in peace with myself.”“Maybe you’ll get peace if you move on from this.”But that was the thing; I couldn’t move on even if I wanted to. Eric didn’t just break my heart, ruin my life, and take almost everything from me. He left me with a burden… one that w
