I will pay her bills and endure her feisty ass while protecting her. Then in return, her body will be exclusively mine to enjoy, devour and use as I please. That's all there is to it. No more, no less. This is just another business transaction and the terms of the contract can't be breached. Luckily for me, it won't be hard sticking to the contract since my heart is the legendary stone-cold heart of Las Vegas. I steeled my face feeling relieved now that I have gotten myself together. I walked into the room and grabbed the contract, walking calmly towards her.

“You lied to bury me.” Amaiya hissed, “You abandoned me.” “I was taken,” he said simply. “And you made a bargain with the devil to hide it.” Rowan. The name hung between them like smoke. Amaiya backed away, her eyes glinting with fear or madness. “He’ll kill you all for this.” I stepped forward, fire burning faint blue across my skin. “No, Amaiya. This time, he’ll watch you burn.” Amaiya screamed, trying to summon power, but nothing came. The bond she’d used was gone with Rowan’s shadow.

“After this, you are mine, Sweet little thing. You’ll not be able to run or escape me. Because no matter where you run to, even though I have to turn this world upside down, I will find you and bring you right back to my side because you are bound to me.” I laughed. “Trying to scare me?” He looked almost human to me at that moment. He was trying to save me from himself? I took the pen from him and signed a contract with the Devil. Grinning, I fired his words right back at him. “Sounds like foreplay,” It was surprisingly a sunny day when I later said yes to marrying Damon in sickness and in lies. He said yes too and for a moment I wondered how fitting it was that I wore the black dress. Perha

Owen says with a sigh. I curse myself for reminding him of the dark shadow surrounding us. “This way I get to control the situation, that’s why I made a deal with the devil.” That’s partly but not the whole truth. I just can not be caught in hell confessing more to Owen than I already have. “And you get to drool over her in person. Not bad,” Owen says, seeing through me. At least he has loosened up. I ignore his insinuation and get straight to business.

"By giving you what you need to destroy Korr." My heart slammed against my ribs. "And what do you want in return?" His voice went soft. Dangerous. All silk and shadow. “Just one small favor.” Silence followed. Long enough that I pulled the phone away to check if the call had dropped. Then his voice came back. Low. Certain. “When the time comes…” The line went dead. And I stood there— phone still pressed to my ear— knowing with absolute certainty— that I'd just made a deal with the devil.

he said finally, his voice low, a whisper that sent shivers down her spine, “you will learn that ownership is absolute. And the sooner you accept it… the less painful it will be.” Her hands balled into fists. Anger and fear warred within her. “this place is worse than hell” she whispered, though even she could hear the uncertainty in her own voice. He stepped back, watching her, his expression unreadable, perfectly composed. “Hell?” he said softly. “that was just a reminder that you were owned by a devil, don't let me show you how I punish those who try to defy me. That is all. In time, Yesha Elaine, you will understand that obedience is safe… and that resistance is nothing but illusion.”

"Will you tell me anything about what happened?” I open my eyes and study my gradually transforming reflection. The woman emerging from Ella's careful ministrations looks remarkably similar to the one who arrived at this building earlier. She appears composed, confident, untouched. Only her eyes reveal the truth… they hold knowledge they didn't possess before and a hardness that wasn't there previously in this timeline. "I made a deal with the devil. And the devil always collects his due!" The words escape before I can reconsider them.

Even if it meant playing dirty, even if it meant betraying everything I once swore to protect, I shouldn't miss it for anything. After a long silence, I nodded, “I’m in.” That instant, she turned to face me as her smile widened, “Excellent,” she purred. As the words left her mouth, a chill crawled down my spine because I had just made a deal with the devil. And I didn’t know if I would come out alive on the other side.

"My assistant will send the contract over" Then taking her hand, he led her and she walked into her new life. An unknown life **** The drive was long. Natalie sat stiffly in the back of the matte-black SUV, the weight of the wedding gown pressing down on her like a curse. The heavy lace scratched her skin, and the silence from the man beside her—Lorenzo De Luca her captor, her husband—felt more suffocating than any gag. How had she gone from marrying an old millionaire to Being the wife of The devil's son. She didn't know him but she had heard rumors and one thing about rumours were that they were some elements of truth inside them. If Lorenzo was anything that the rumours said he was, then
