Semua Bab A Deal With The Devil: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Daniella I hadn’t even gotten a grip on my senses when Drake reached out and pulled the first drawer of the nightstand. My eyes widened when he took out a pack of condoms. “All planned, huh? I wonder how many you’ve used from this trip!” I rolled my eyes at the player. “I haven’t. See?” He tore open the sealed packaging and took out one. “I had planned to use them all, but you happened, and all my plans crumbled to dust.” My heart skipped a beat as I watched him tear off the packet with his teeth, all the while gazing at me. “So, are you hinting at being celibate for the last seven days?” It was unbelievable indeed. “Yes, so? You were the one who was playing hard to get? Or we could have enjoyed more. It’s payback time now for making me seek refuge in the shower cubicle!” I chuckled, taking the condom from his hand. “Can I sheath you?”He grimaced. “I like it raw, but we don’t want a battalion now, do we?” I gave him a look of horror. I couldn’t imagine myself getting pregnant r

Drake “Lucien is there to handle Sylvester’s. Why are you competing with him, Drake? Can’t you take an interest in your own business and help Dominic instead? That’s what your grandpa wants you to do.” Mom gave me a disapproving look when I announced my plan to join Sylvester Financial Inc. “Mom, Lucien has too much on his plate. He’s busy with LS Cruises. So what difference does it make if I join Sylvester’s as its CEO?” I wasn’t letting this go. Ever since Daniella left me, I couldn’t focus on anything. Even my favorite activity, traveling, didn’t interest me. She was on my mind 24/7, and I was going crazy. If I didn’t do something about it, soon I would end up in a rehab center with a mental breakdown. I had no idea what I wanted from her. Maybe another kiss would suffice. Or another round of wild se* would do the trick and help me get her off my mind. “But that isn’t a permanent solution, Drake. Lucien will take over eventually. Why can’t you join the NS Group this time? It’s

DaniellaMy heart sank with dread as the elevator went up to my floor. I had no time to announce Drake’s presence tonight to my mom. She would be so shocked to see him tonight. How would Jake react to Drake? Would they kill one another? I had no idea, and the thought was driving me crazy.“Stop chewing your lips. Relax!” He grinned at me, enjoying my discomfort.“Please don’t pick a fight with Jake. He’s my mom’s favorite.”His grin widened. “From now on, I’ll be your mom’s favorite. Will that do?”“That’ll be worse. She’ll force me to marry you.” I groaned at the idea.“Really? We will do a fake wedding for a year or two.”I glared at him. “Don’t even think about it. If I ever marry, it’ll be for love.”“Do you still believe in that shit? There’s nothing called love.”The elevator doors opened on my floor, and we walked out. I had no idea if Jake was already here.“That’s my apartment.” I pointed at the one opposite.“Oh? So, you live all by yourself in an apartment! Lucky girl!”I g

Daniella The entire week passed by and it was the much-dreaded Sunday morning. I rushed after mom, taking last-minute instructions as always. I had no idea why she always stressed herself before leaving the house in my care. Did she forget I was a twenty-five-year-old woman, completely capable of handling everything?“Dani, there’s last night’s meatloaf. Have it today. Is Drake coming over?” I shrugged. “I don’t know, Mom. We didn’t get the time to catch up at the office.” It was true. All week, Drake was busy with Lucien Sylvester. He hardly had the time to look my way. I just hoped he had forgotten all about it. “Be careful and don’t forget the keys. Lock your door at night. Don’t drink and drive. Keep me updated.” “I will, Mom. Now go or you’ll get stuck in a traffic congestion.”I helped load their luggage into the car. “Take care of mom.” “Sure will,” chorused the twins. Diego drove away, and I walked back to the elevator. The door opened, and I collided with Jake.I stepped

DrakeI watched the tornado of emotions sweep over her face as my words registered in her head at last. “Oh! I hope we can end this charade after a month.” She rose to clear the table, looking a little upset. What had I done now? Shouldn’t she feel honored that I wanted her so much? Yet she chose not to satisfy me.I followed her around, helping her clean up. This was something I had never done in my life. In fact, I had never helped with any household chore. There were staff at home to take care of those. “I can help with the dishes.” I eyed the few lying in the kitchen sink. Surely they wouldn’t be a problem, and Daniella would melt at my gesture. She might kiss me for a start, and I would carry on thereafter.Daniella raised an eyebrow at me. “Sure. Go ahead.” She stepped aside to arrange the leftovers in the refrigerator.I scratched my chin, wondering where to store the rinsed dishes. I hadn’t even watched Mom do them. “You can rinse them and place them in the dishwasher.” She
