All Chapters of A Deal With The Devil: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

DrakeI watched Daniella as she walked down the aisle with Julia. Clad in the figure-hugging blue dress I bought for her, she looked se*y as hell. While all eyes were on the bride, I couldn’t take my eyes off the bridesmaid with cascading hair shining like spun gold. Daniella took my breath away. She affected me like no other, not even Lara. In fact, Lara’s charm felt insignificant compared to hers. Maybe what I felt for Lara was nothing but a crush. It crumbled when she betrayed me, but the hurt remained locked in my heart for years. It vanished only when I vented it out in my drunken state. I couldn’t wait to hold her in my arms again. The brief make-out session in the morning only aroused me more. It sparked a hunger that only she could satisfy. As if knowing the effect she was having on me, she gave me a smoldering look. It took my breath away. She stood by Julia, but her focus was totally on me. How would it feel if it were our wedding instead of Dominic and Julia’s? My throat

DaniellaI went into the jam-packed elevator, eager to meet Drake. He had been here since last night, and I brought him some grilled sandwiches. I was sure he had skipped dinner and breakfast last night. I kept on asking him, but met with vague answers.‘I’m not hungry!’He sounded lost, and I couldn’t gauge the reason. Had Aunt Sarah’s health deteriorated? I was apprehensive all night. I shouldn’t have left him alone. So I woke up early and made breakfast for him.The elevator doors opened, and I walked out, negotiating my way towards the oncology department. Aunt Sarah was in the premium room, and the guard allowed me inside after seeing my visitor's card.Aunt Sarah was still fast asleep, but where was Drake? Had he left? I placed the food on the side table and walked out in search of Drake.“He’s at the emergency department OT,” informed the friendly guard. I thanked her and headed towards the OT. What was he doing there? Maybe he had gone there to meet Aunt Sarah’s doctor.I walk

DrakeI walked out of the hotel in a state of confusion. Daniella had checked out almost two hours ago. Then why hadn’t she returned home yet? Where could she have gone? Should I seek police help? What if anything untoward happened to her? I called Aunt Ellie. “Daniella has checked out two hours ago, Aunt Ellie. Do you know where she could have gone?” “Oh! I’m as clueless as you are, son. She’s close to Brynne and Julia. With both of them married, she has no other place to go. Still, I’ll call her and find out.” Aunt Ellie sounded panicked.“Her phone is switched off. Should I seek police help?” “Hang on a minute. Let me try her number. She calls me back usually.”I disconnected the call and drove over to the hospital. Lucien and Grandpa had gone to see the doctor while Aunt Vera had gone home. Mom was awake and looking much better. “Did you patch up with Daniella?” I shook my head and sat down beside her. “She has disappeared, Mom. I had been searching for her the whole day.” I

Daniella “I was worried about you. Why did you disappear on me? You could have confronted me.” His eyes held my disappointed gaze. That was it? And here I was, expecting his magical confession. “I feared your rejection, Drake. I know you’re marrying me for your mom’s sake. We aren’t actually engaged. Now that Aunt Sarah is improving, I thought you didn’t need me anymore.” I sighed and looked away. I should stop expecting more from this relationship and accept my unrequited feelings for him. He placed a finger under my chin and forced me to look at him. “You’re wrong, Daniella.” I searched his eyes. “How? You’re marrying me because of your mom, aren’t you?” I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. He shook his head, still holding my gaze. “Not entirely.” I groaned in frustration. “What other reason can you possibly have for wanting to marry me?”He released me and sighed. “I care a lot about you, Daniella. I want to take care of you and make you happy.” I felt annoyed now. “I
