All Chapters of A Deal With The Devil: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Everything happened like a dream, the toasts, the exotic dinner, and the cake-cutting ceremony. Afterward, Brynne posed for a selfie with her friends before the party ended. Luke appeared from nowhere and stood before her with a furious scowl on his face. Now what had she done? “Brynne, come here.” Adrian released her, and she smiled at her friends. “I’ll see you in the office on Monday.” “Sure. Thank you, sir, for having us here. Congratulations on your wedding. It was a grand party,” said Ted, the only one with the guts to speak to Lucien Sylvester. “Yes, thank you, sir,” Eric followed.“Thank you.” Luke gripped Brynne’s hand and led her away from her friends. Brynne could feel his fury resonating in his actions. What was wrong with him? He was fine all evening. He pulled her along, away from the ballroom, towards the elevator. Brynne knew what was cooking in his mind. But why did he need to follow caveman tactics? She would willingly oblige. “What’s wrong with you, Luke? You’

Luke smiled, watching her intently, trying hard to gauge the intensity of her feelings. He wanted to believe her, but his heart knew otherwise. There was nothing called love in this world. Women only needed two things from him: money and se*. If he didn’t have money, no one in their right senses would want him. Something clicked shut in his brain and the old distrust resurfaced. In his experience, no woman had ever fallen in love with him until Brynne came along. Who could love a devil like him? How could she fall in love with him in such a short time? No, she was trying to gain entry into his life forever. She wanted this luxurious life that he could give her. Surely, it had nothing to do with love. “I believe in proving your feelings through your actions. It’s very easy to say, but impossible to prove.” He eased off her, the magic lost. Pulling on his clothes, he was about to go out when his gaze fell on the shattered look on Brynne’s face. Brynne blinked at the weird man. She ha

The traffic police brought Leonardo safely back and Luke thanked them profusely. It was time to teach Celine a lesson. The only way would be to gather proof against her. It would all come in handy at the hearing. A traumatized Leo hugged his father with tears of relief in his eyes. “I’m sorry, Dad,” he sobbed, clutching Luke’s torso. “You’re safe now. I’m sorry this happened to you, son. Promise me you won’t go anywhere without your guards.” Luke’s throat choked with emotions. He hadn’t expected to find his son this soon. It was indeed a miracle.“Yes, I promise you, Dad.” “Did they hurt you, Leo?” Grandpa Benson asked after the police left.“No. There were two men. They gagged me and tied me up before dumping me in a car. It happened so fast, I couldn’t call for help. It was all well-planned, Dad. I overheard them talking to a woman over the phone. They were arguing about money with her.” Luke and Grandpa shared a look. “Did you hear her?” Leo shook his head. “No, Dad.” “Anyway

Luke stared at his phone with surprise. Why was Celine calling him constantly after all the stunts she pulled? Did she think he would forgive her? Did she think he didn’t know about her underhanded ploys? Maybe she thought he had no idea she was behind both crimes. The wish to teach her a lesson and give her a piece of his mind was so acute that Luke strode out of the bedroom and accepted the call. “Why the f*ck are you calling me, Celine?” he barked into the phone, unaware that Brynne heard him clearly. “I want to meet you, Luke. This is important.” Luke’s blood boiled at her fake caring voice. “I have no reason to meet you. So see you at the hearing.” “No, wait, don’t disconnect the call. I have something to show you. It’s about your wife. Please, can you meet me tomorrow somewhere?” Luke hesitated. What was it about Brynne that Celine wanted to talk about? “What is it about Brynne? Tell me now.” “I can’t tell you over the phone. I have to show you something. It’s very import

Luke watched the cops arrest the rat, Dennis Howard, the PA of their Sr. Tender Manager, Ken Gallagher. It took Luke and his team all day to collect evidence against him. But it was all over now and he could go home. The team left, and he walked over to his cabin to get his bag. However, the moment he stepped inside, his breath hitched, remembering his morning ordeal. Brynne had obviously gone home, leaving the paternity test report on his desk. He sighed and picked it up. Why didn’t she decline his accusations with proof? Why didn’t she tell him she wasn’t pregnant? Celine was right. She didn’t love him. Absent-mindedly, he picked up the report to stash it in his pocket when his glance fell on the report date. It was dated almost eight weeks ago. Luke frowned at it, blinking to refocus. Yes, the date was indeed eight weeks ago. But he had met Brynne only five weeks ago, and she was a virgin then. He rechecked the name of the clinic. New Age Medicare, Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn.
