All Chapters of The Deal with the Billionaire Devil: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

TARA“I know.” My chin trembled. I reached out for her hand, squeezing it. “But I’m gonna be okay. I promise.”“Have you told Mad about what the doctor found out?”I shook my head, blinking to clear my eyes from tears. “Soon. Right now, he’s not ready to hear it. He has a lot on his plate right now, but I will tell him.” The thought of confessing to Mad made my heart ache because there was no way I would be prepared to tell him that would not break his heart.“Don’t keep it for too long, Tara. Don’t get used to keeping secrets from your partner. The truth always sets you free, and you need treatment.”“I love you, Mom.”“I love you, too, sweetheart.”Olive sniffed, which caught Mom’s attention.“Are you all right, honey?”“Yes, Your Majesty. Seeing you two makes me cry with joy.”“Where’s your family, Olive?” Mom turned to ask her.“My parents were divorced when I was a teenager. They both have family on their own now. I occasionally talked to my father. My mother, not so much. She’d

MAD“Have you seen the news about you?”“What about it? And what’s new, Olive?” I didn’t want to take my eyes off Valentine while he and Tara were prepping for their joint statement to the press.She showed me her phone screen. “Watch this.” After that photo went viral online, I expected nothing less than negative comments about me being reckless, negligent, and lacking concern.“This will piss me off, won’t it?” Shaking my head in annoyance, I took the phone from her and hit the play button of a video taken from a morning show in the US. “So, it reaches home, huh? I’m famous again.”“If I were to comment on this photo, I mean, I have the sympathy of the Serevian crown. I hope the princess, who has just gotten back her titles, will heal, but do we have any clue who leaked this image online?” said the first host.“The question is, who kidnapped the princess? How come no one has heard about it? With regards to the timeline shown in the photo, the princess was still here, in the US. Thi

TARAWhen my brother thought I would back down because the world finally knew how broken and vulnerable I was, he was wrong. He clearly didn’t know what I’d become for the last three years.The anger and rage for revenge boiled over from the surface, and I couldn’t contain it anymore. It would eventually explode. He had manipulated me enough. He’d lied to me for years. He fooled me. He played the dangerous game of lies and deceit. It had to end. I would never allow him to use Mad the same way he used me. “Thank you all for coming on such short notice.” Finally, I had a small win. My father agreed without the PR involved. “I’m only addressing this issue once, and I will not accept any questions after.” I cleared my throat. “On behalf of my family, I’d like to address the photo that’s been circulating online.” My brother was stoic beside me. I wasn’t sure if he was scared of me spilling the tea or if he was playing the role of a heartbroken brother. Anyhow, he played well. Behind me

TARAI stared at my brother, both perplexed and terrified by his plan. Was this really what he’d been doing over the years?“And your plan is over, while they’re still rich and the entire world knows your secrets,” Mad told him, which seemed to have him thinking.“So you did all this for what? In the end, you’ll get nothing.” I looked at him, intensely looked at my evil brother. “Valentine, the rest you can do now is tell the world or our parents before it’s too late. Those people are using your sexuality to control you.”“It’s a win-win. That’s why they have to keep my secrets.”“They get richer. You’re the King, but Sarah can’t be a queen if she has to run the business.”“Her father or her brother will do.”“I see.” Mad nodded, losing the argument.“What are you gonna do now, Madden?”Mad shrugged. All of a sudden, he felt confident. “Nothing. Thanks for clearing everything up by telling us your whole goddamn plan with Sarah and Revier, and confessing to your crime, Prince Valentine

TARAMy parents were gone hours ago, yet I was still wide awake, turning and twisting in bed while Mad was past asleep beside me. I had to get off the bed. I didn’t want to wake him up, either. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep. I found Olive and Damian in the kitchen, seemingly in deep thought. Olive had a glass of wine while Damian preferred a steaming cup of tea.I sighed as I joined them, grabbing Olive’s glass. She hadn’t noticed me, but Damian, who didn’t look surprised to see me. I gulped it empty and put it back just right where I snatched it. “Thanks.”“I could have brought a bottle of wine and a glass to your chamber, Your Royal Highness.” I couldn’t even see the difference between sarcasm and a joke. I wanted to say something that my life had just turned 160 and got even more complicated. Instead, I slid onto the barstool and sighed constantly. I stared at the steaming cup of tea with a lot of things on my mind. I didn’t even know where to start. My f
