All Chapters of The Deal with the Billionaire Devil: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

MADI didn’t know how I survived the whole day, still sane, without drowning myself in alcohol. Maybe because somewhere out there, Tara was waiting for me, and she needed me, and she believed I would never stop looking for her.Olive just walked out of her apartment building. I thought it was time for her to know that her best friend was missing. She was frowning as she checked her phone.“Olive.”She halted, looking surprised as she stared at me. “Mad, what are you doing here?”“Hi.” I smiled tightly.“Look what the lion dragged in,” she snorted.“Can we talk?” I couldn’t pretend to be okay when I couldn’t. I woke up earlier with a headache. Sawyer was gone, and I barely remembered our conversation last night. Thanked God, Nites was there for me. I managed to shower and change my clothes, but I could barely eat. My life seemed to stop the moment Tara was taken from me. I also felt guilty and terrified for her life.“Of course.” She frowned. “Is everything okay? You looked like your

MADShe looked at me, her eyes glinting. “I don’t know, but he doesn’t know that. He needs to pay for what he’s done. I want to scare him and let him pee in his pants.” “After that?” Linden continued. “I hacked her GPS logs, the house alarm, and the surveillance system. It was quite complicated, though. The alarm system was advanced, as I’ve never seen before. Military-grade.” Linden snorted. “Do you know who owned the house you invaded?” “I didn’t care. I didn’t ask.” “It was my house,” Linden simply dropped the bomb on him. He stiffened and went pale. I watched his eye widen at Linden, pulling away. “Yes. I specifically offered that house to Princess Tara because I thought she would be safe there when I installed an advanced security system. You’re a genius, but you used it for the wrong reason. You just put the Princess’s life in danger, and now we don’t have any idea where she is, or if she’s still alive.” The last words hit me like a freight train. It made me shiver. I wa

MAD“With all this multi-million dollar tech you have, you couldn’t spot him from millions of surveillance cameras, not even a blurry image?” “No.” Linden was also frustrated, just like everyone else. “How is it possible? He’s wearing a mask or something.” “He knows how to cover his tracks. He’s done it before, a thousand times, and he’s out of the country by now. I made contact with my people in Central America, but he’s not on their radar. Let me make a call.” While Linden was making a call, I turned to Olive. “You don’t have to stay here. I can send you home.” “And do what?” She snapped. “I wish I could do something to find her.” “You’re doing something.” She elbowed me, tipping her chin at Nites standing at the corner. “Maybe you should talk to him. Something’s really bothering him.” “I will, later.” “For fuck’s sake, Siciliano.” Linden’s eyes were blazing. “Asshole, this is important. I will pay your men. Name the price.” “Who’s he talking to?” Olive asked. “I don’t ha

MAD“I can’t believe your bodyguard quit.” Olive grabbed the glass of whiskey I was about to drink. “That’s enough. You only get to drink a shot. I need you to be clear-headed all the time.”Smiling tightly, I agreed with her. I left the minibar and went to the living room.“Aren’t we gonna talk about Nites? For the short time I’ve known you, he wasn’t only doing his job. He cares about you, Mad. If he thinks there’s something odd about Sawyer, no matter how long you’ve known that guy, Nites deserves the benefit of the doubt. Besides, he kinda does this for a living.” She sipped the whiskey and sat across from me.“I’ve had enough on my plates right now. I can’t deal with his unsupported claims. I’ve known Sawyer since we were in college, and he’s been my best friend since.” I tried to explain, even though I was too exhausted. “And if he really cares about me, he wouldn’t quit while I still need him.“I know, but you become more successful and popular than him and get most of the girl

MAD“Tara, look at me, baby.” My fingers shook as I felt the urge to touch her face, tuck the strands behind her ear, and tell her look at me.“She can’t hear you,” Alonso said. Olive gasped beside me, clinging to my arm. “Oh, my God. She’s alive, and she’s typing on a typewriter.” “Yeah, she is.” My eyes watered, hopeful and grateful. “Even in circumstances like this, she still does what she loves. Oh, baby girl. I’m so relieved you’re okay.” She started crying beside me. “We will get her back soon.” “I’ll call you for the meetup.” As soon as the call ended, I sighed in relief. Then I turned to Lynx. “What did you find?” “I can’t see any cameras around here, but I informed Osmium to bring a detector. They will be here in a few minutes.” “Yeah. He sounded as if he was watching us,” Olive noted. “How is it even possible? You have tight security personnel. No one can come up without the access key. You have your own private elevator, so if there’s a camera in your penthouse, then
