All Chapters of A Deal With The Devil: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

JuliettaThe sound echoed around, numbing my senses as I waited to embrace death. Instead, a thud behind me followed by rushed footsteps made me whirl around. What just happened?“Julia!” An agitated voice echoed into the stillness.Stunned, I stared at the scene right in front of me. Miguel lay on the ground, in a pool of blood, with a bullet lodged in his head. Relief flooded through my body knowing he was no more. I was free!I looked up at my rescuers. A team of five FBI officers had entered through the back gates. But the only one who had brought them here wasn’t my husband.It was Eric.“Eric?” I gasped, suddenly feeling bare in front of the strangers. I looked around for my dress, but it was filthy and tattered, beyond use.“Are you alright, Ms. Castellanos?” asked an agent. Eric opened his coat and came forward to cover me.“Yes, t-thank you for saving me.” My knees buckled as I finally gave in to the fatigue of the last few days. Eric lunged forward to stop me from falling to

Dominic The next morning, I didn’t summon her for breakfast. I made it early in the morning and carried it to her room. Thankfully, she didn’t refuse. After last night, I was very disturbed. Her abusive experiences made me feel guilty. I should have trusted her. Now, it was too late. The harm had been done, and I was afraid she would never return home with me. Was she planning to settle down here? How would I relocate my entire world to Mexico?“Thank you, Dominic. I’m better. I can manage from now on. You can go back to New York.” I stood indecisively for a moment before sitting beside her on the bed. I wasn’t returning without her. Diego needed her, and so did I. “But I want you to return home with me.” She chewed her food without looking at me. “I’ll book the flight tickets for tonight.” She stopped chewing and looked up at me. “I’m staying here, Dominic. This house belongs to me. No one can ask me to leave.” “No one has asked you to leave our house. That’s your home too. As

Julietta I opened the door and stepped into Dominic’s office to surprise him. But I received the biggest shock of the day to see him with his ex-wife. She was in tears while Dominic sat frowning at his laptop. I grinned at my weird husband, relieved that he was still true to me. “How can you do this to me, Nick? My future will be doomed if I don’t take Diego home. Thomas won’t give me a penny.” She sobbed more, and Dominic gave her an exasperated look.“I’ve saved you from trial only because you’re Diego’s mom. Isn’t that enough?”Then his eyes fell on me, and his face paled. He rose from his seat nervously. “Julietta? What are you doing here? Is everything alright? Is Diego okay?” I smiled at him. “Yes, everything’s fine. I thought we could have lunch together. You skipped your meal and left home in a hurry..” My cheeks flushed with color at the jaw-dropped look on his and Kimberly’s faces. “Umm, Diego is also here with me. I’ll call him inside.” Before he could stop me, I opene

JuliettaNine Months Later“Mom, be careful! You shouldn’t rush.” Diego was instantly at my side to take me to the washroom.I smiled at him lovingly. He had grown and matured overnight, gearing up for the role of a big brother well. My delivery date was around the corner, and it was difficult to move around with the twins growing in my womb. I hated my body now, having grown to thrice its size.But everyone else was excited. They had thought of names for the twins – a girl and a boy, just like Leo’s siblings.Two months ago, Brynne gave birth to a baby girl, and they named her Lucy. Daniella, too, had given birth to twin boys last month – Declan and Dustin. Now it was my turn, and Diego had settled for the names – Dariel and Jade.After much protest, Dominic agreed. I loved the names because Diego took almost seven months to decide on them. He was quite choosy about the twins, even though they weren’t born yet.Dominic and Diego had prepared the nursery with utmost care, and I loved

Elena “Ellie, sweetie! I can’t believe you’re finally home.” Mom’s sweet, melodious voice brought me back to reality. I was in our Seeger Mansion, but things were different now. There was no Damien in my life. Maybe he didn’t live here anymore. Maybe he was happily married to Veronica James! I smiled at my mom, walking into her open arms. “Mom, it’s so good to see you. I missed you so much!” I hugged her delicate frame, inhaling the familiar rose-scented fragrance she always used. While my dad had remarried Sylvia Keller, his PA, Mom hadn’t moved on from him. She was still the sweet, graceful, soft-spoken woman who had authored many non-fiction books on child psychology. A highly qualified child psychologist, she practiced too and had made a name for herself in the city. I was proud of what she had achieved in the last four years. “I missed you too. I hope you’ll stay here for some time.” She released me to check the luggage I had brought with me. There were only two trolley cases,
