Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Deal With The Devil: Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

Julietta / JuliaI flicked through the document he handed me. What was there to go through? It had to be full of selfish conditions to protect his interests and assets in this fake wedding. I had no problems with those.The first condition made me boil with rage.It stated that I would have no claim to his wealth, assets, and property as his wife.Second, I would receive no alimony if the marriage ended.I couldn’t read more.Picking up a pen from the desk, I signed the agreement.How could he think so low of me? I didn’t need his money to survive. I could earn my livelihood.Placing the document on his desk, I lay down on the bed, keeping to my side. Hanging precariously at the edge, I hoped he wouldn’t get the wrong idea about me. I wasn’t here for his money.Disappointment washed over me. I had thought I had found a family I could belong to, a man who would really love me, and a home to call my own. But it was all a lie. My life was based on a lie. Where would I go when Dominic th

Julietta / Julia Eric’s behavior confused me a lot. Why did he follow me around? Did he suspect something? Did he know our relationship was fake? I wanted to confront him, but not in Dominic’s presence. Neither could I call him with Dominic hovering around me.Ever since we had returned from the park, he had been rushing me. “You have five minutes to get ready, Julia. We’ll visit my apartment in Elysium.” I nodded, although I didn’t see the need to see his house. It would never be mine. Hadn’t I signed the prenuptial agreement already? “What’s there to see? I’m sure you’ve furnished it as per your needs.” He gave me a displeased look. “I have, but Mom wants you to see it. So no more arguments.” I grumbled as I got ready. So, he was doing everything to please his family! The engagement was for Diego’s sake, while this outing was to please his mom. What about his wishes? Why did he follow me around? Why did he stalk my stalker? Dominic’s behavior was the most confusing of all. He

DominicJulia said she was ready. What was she ready for? Was it only for a kiss? But I needed more with her. I had no idea where this obsession came from. I was fine being celibate for so long.Over the last few years, the sex drive had been manageable without a woman. A few jerks in the shower were enough to take care of my needs. I didn’t trust women enough to give it much thought. They only needed my money and the luxurious life I could give them.Then what changed now? Why was I searching for excuses to kiss Julia? Why did I feel such a burning desire every time I was with her? It was enough to scald me, especially today after our heated interaction. I couldn’t ignore it anymore.When I came up with such a lousy, cliché deal, I hadn’t expected her to agree. No one in their right mind would do so. Yet she agreed, and it made my body tingle all over. Did she want me the way I wanted her?She picked up her empty glass and headed towards the kitchen for a refill. “Do you want some?”

Dominic“Why haven’t you booked a table at Le Bernadin for two?” I glared at Harry Bennett, my PA and right-hand man, handling my schedules efficiently for the last five years. I had no idea what I would have done without him. He had proved himself indispensable to me and to the company so far. “They’re full-booked, sir. But I’ve booked a table for two at the Loeb Boathouse Restaurant.” He gave me a hesitant look while I waited for more details. “Why there? Did I ask you to use your brain?” My stupid heart skipped a beat although I acted annoyed. “Because I’ve booked a boat ride for two at the Loeb Boathouse. It’s the most romantic thing to do on a date night, sir. That’s where I had taken my wife to propose. It worked for us, and I’m sure it’ll work for you as well.”I wasn’t as confident. This was the first time I was considering taking a woman out on a date. I didn’t know what had prompted me to announce it to Julia. Now there was no backing out. She would be mad at me. How woul

Julietta / JuliaThroughout dinner, his words echoed in my head. It’s gonna be a long night!What did he mean? I was dying to ask him, but something gripped hold of my tongue in his presence. All I could do was savor my dinner and wait for his next bombshell. “I’m waiting, Julia!” He was still watching me, and I blushed. Did he read my thoughts? It would be so embarrassing. “For what?” I tried to focus on our conversation now. Yet I couldn’t remember what he was waiting for. “Feed me. All couples do.” He smiled at the couple seated at the next table. “Don’t you think my fiancée should feed me?” It drew the attention of those around us. I wanted to die of embarrassment. With Dominic at his charming best, they obviously supported him. “Oh, I forgot.” With all eyes on us, I picked up some pasta and fed him, refusing to meet his heated gaze. He didn’t need to tell me explicitly why we would have a long night. His wandering gaze and erratic breathing were enough for me to know. He t
