All Chapters of The Deal with the Billionaire Devil: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

MAD“If you’re here to convince me to change my mind, you’re wasting your time, Tara. Save your energy, you will need it, and you’d better prepare yourself for the transition.” Her father shifted his gaze to me. “And you, Madden. Finish whatever work you left in the States. Things will change drastically in the palace, and you’d be very busy as well because you two need to be seen together often.” That reminded me of my flight today that I hadn’t told Tara about.“Understood, sir.”The Queen finally spoke. “I know this is not the job you wanted, Tara, but you’re aware that every royal member in line is always ready for anything. This is not new to you. No more bargaining. Your brother has made his choice.”She drank her coffee without a word and left the table. What was going on with her?I dabbed my lips with the napkin, apologized to them, and stood up. “I’ll check on her.”“She can’t be this childish, Madden. Let her make up her mind. She’s old enough to handle difficult situations

TARAAfter explaining to Olive, I was still the bad guy. Those judgmental brown eyes glaring at me— God, my fingers itched to claw them out.“Are you not listening to me?” I slumped myself to the sofa, glaring at the wall.“Oh, I understand you, but you said it yourself. May.” She quoted in the air and crossed her arms over her chest, towering over me. “Well, bite me.”“It’s a crucial change in your life, Tara. It shouldn’t take weeks to tell the love of your life who you’re about to marry, that there’s something wrong inside you. You shouldn’t be alone dealing with it.”I lifted my gaze, challenging her stare. “Well, it’s my life.”“Oh, no, no, no.” She shook her head furiously. “You don’t get to say the it’s my life speech, lady. You’re about to get married, and now is not the time to keep a secret this huge. It’s your health is on the line. Have you thought about that? That’s what probably pissed him off.”“No, it’s not.” I frowned, crossing my arms over my chest. “he’s upset beca

TARAI woke up in different surroundings to an empty bed. I still felt the ache in my chest, and it may never go away. I felt I had rested well, though, but there was still a knot of guilt in my stomach that was hard to ignore. I went to the bathroom to empty my bladder and noticed a spotting on the pantyliner. My stomach churned with nausea. I cleaned up, washed my face, and brushed my teeth. I stared at the reflection of a woman who had been through a lot in her life. She looked sad, but there was also contentment in those bright blue eyes. I stepped out of the bathroom with my stomach growling. I missed lunch, and I hadn’t checked the time, but I knew it was dark outside. I could see the moon from the window.I jumped as I realized I wasn’t alone anymore. My heart jackhammered, and I clutched the front of my pajama top before I could lose my balance. “Sorry.” She grinned sheepishly.“What the hell, Olive?” I glared at her, still trying to catch my breath. “I thought you saw me

TARA“Hey. How’s your day?” Mad wasn’t in his usual self, charming, teasing, and cocky. The strain of sadness and worry in his eyes was deep. He wouldn’t even hide them from me, which was what I loved about him— his emotional honesty.I smiled at the camera. “I’m good. You?”“I had a third-quarter meeting with the board earlier this morning. We made some adjustments while I’m still processing the license and registration. Anyway, it’s boring stuff, you’d rather not listen to me babble about business.”“Are you okay?”He shook his head, smiling tightly. “No. One of the most terrible decisions in my life was leaving you yesterday. I’m so sorry.”“Hey. We’ve already talked about it.” I leaned forward to my laptop screen. “There’s always a reason for everything, okay? I also made a mistake by keeping it from you. I was so sad. I was still in the process of accepting something we lost, and the doctor told me about it. I didn’t know how to deal with it, and then things happened with the pre

MAD“No. I’m not gonna go. I can’t.” I shook my head frantically. “Not when Tara is gonna have a procedure in three hours. And I have to pick up the gift I bought for her.”“Son, I don’t mean to be insensitive, but they planned this whole party for you. At least you could show up. Otherwise, there will be no party without you.”“Come on.” Logan looked at me from head to toe. “You don’t have to change. Do it for them for one last time. Besides, name a groom who didn’t have a bachelor party?”I widened my eyes at him. “Log, my wedding is not—”“Honey, just go. Show up for a few minutes, then you can leave. They’ve been working for you for years, just make sure to keep an eye on your phone,” Mom said, the only person who could change my mind.“Fine.” I sighed heavily and pointed my finger at Logan. “If I miss a call from Tara, I will blame you.”“Okay. I’ll take the blame.” He raised his hands. “So, can we go now?”“I funded that party.” Dad smiled. “So, have fun.”“I don’t think so.” I
