All Chapters of A Deal With The Devil: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

For the first time in Jessica’s entire life, she felt a truly overwhelming urge to just completely end her existence right then and there. Rope. Rope. Rope. She literally needed a rope to hang herself right this second. Did she... did she actually just fart right in front of her biggest crush? The man whose jawline she had been drooling over minutes ago? No, no, no. This was going to haunt her until she was an old, wrinkly woman. She just knew it. For the rest of her life, every single time she tried to close her eyes to sleep, this exact moment would replay in her brain like a horror movie. She couldn't even bring herself to look at Zayne. She glued her eyes to her own lap, her face burning so hot it felt like it was about to melt right off her skull. And the worst part? The ultimate worst part of this entire nightmare? The fart had a smell. A real undeniable smell. Even the ultra-expensive luxury air conditioner in the Audi couldn't kill it. It just pushed the toxic pasta

Victor slowly dragged himself up off the floor, wiping blood from his chin as he dusted off his clothes. He glared daggers at Selene, his eyes burning with embarrassment and rage. "Sit down, Dad," Selene said, her tone completely flat. "Just say whatever the hell you came here to say," Victor barked, refusing to move an inch. "I'm not sitting." "Fine," Selene said, leaning back in her chair. "Honestly, I came here planning to lay down some ground rules, but I ended up listening to Finn back there instead..." Victor cut her off before she could even finish her sentence. "So what, you came all the way here just to interrogate me with your stupid questions?!" Selene let out a long exhale and stood up."You know what? Talking to you is a complete waste of breath," Selene said, her voice dripping with disgust as she stepped closer to his desk. "I used to think you were just a cold, greedy businessman. But hearing what Finn said today? Learning how you destroyed his family and drov

It was already evening by the time Selene finally pulled into the massive driveway. She had spent the entire day running around the city, visiting a few people here and there, including checking up on Ted, who was thankfully recovering quite well. Glancing down at her phone screen, she saw the digital clock read almost 7:00 PM. She let out a tired breath, put the car in park, and stepped out into the cold evening air. On top of everything else, she still hadn't managed to find a buyer for her car. Her pockets were practically empty, and the stress was starting to pile up fast. She sighed, grabbed her bag, and pushed open the front doors. "Welcome home, ma'am," a couple of the night staff greeted politely as she walked through the foyer. Selene offered them a quick, exhausted smile. "Thank you." Her throat was completely parched, so she walked straight toward the kitchen to grab a cold drink. The entire main floor was pitch black, save for the faint moonlight streaming thro

Finn held open the sleek black car door for Selene, stepping back as she slid out into the cold evening air. She straightened her dress and slowly looked up at the towering, ultra-exclusive restaurant in front of them. The entrance was lined with glowing valet lights, marble pillars, and crystal chandeliers visible through massive glass doors. She swallowed hard, her throat going dry. This place looks ridiculously expensive. Finn was already strolling toward the grand entrance when he noticed she wasn't beside him. He stopped, turning around to find her still standing by the car like a statue. He raised a single eyebrow in a silent question. Selene snapped out of her trance and immediately hurried forward to catch up to him. Finn gave a soft tsk, shaking his head slightly before turning back around and walking inside. --- The head host immediately recognized Finn, bowing respectfully before guiding them through the dim, elegant dining room to a private booth in the corner. As

Finn leaned his head back against the plush leather seat, his eyes staring out the massive glass window where the heavy downpour was slamming against the pane. Thunder rattled the window frames every few seconds, rolling dark and loud over the city. Across the table, Selene took a slow sip of her red wine. Finn let out a long sigh, turning his head back toward the table and sitting up straight. His eyes locked onto her face. "You don't like the wine?" he asked, raising a single eyebrow. "It's good," she replied softly, setting the glass down. "I actually like it." She picked it back up and took another tiny sip just to prove her point. The waiters had already cleared away the mountain of empty plates, leaving the white tablecloth spotless except for their wine glasses. "Well, just so we're clear," Finn said. "the next dinner bill is completely on you." Selene gave a nod. "Understood." Finn glanced back out the window at the pitch-black sky. "The rain isn't stopping anyt
