All Chapters of The Deal with the Billionaire Devil: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

TARAI chuckled as I pulled away. I went to sit on the chair and smiled. “You always believed in me from the start. I don’t know what you see in me that I don’t see it by myself, but thanks for the vote of confidence.”“Millions of people see it, Princess.” He smiled proudly. “I let you get some rest. Big day tomorrow.”I woke up early, still feeling empty without seeing Mad for almost a week. I hoped he had read my letter by now, but I kept my phone off. As much as I loved him, I needed to focus on my goal today. After I ate my breakfast, I took a quick shower, dried my hair and tied it nicely in a neat bun, put a light makeup on, and wore a merlot crepe fitted jacket over a cream shirt with matching pants and black stilettos. Then I looked at myself in the mirror for a long time. My big blue eyes shone bright through the color of my outfit. I saw once a broke, deposed princess, a struggling woman to fit in a strange city. Not anymore. Not today.For the first time, I saw myself—wh

TARA“Stop manipulating our father to return your titles and job. That’s not gonna happen, and if I become a king, I’ll make sure you won’t step into Serevian soil ever again. You’re a disgrace to Serevia, you ungrateful shrew!”“Stop it, son.” My father’s voice echoed, his eyes narrowing at my brother. I didn’t want him to be angry, but my brother was a piece of work and would never admit to what he’d done. “I’m warning you, and if you act like a child without using your head, you will never be a king. Do you hear me?”“He can deny all he can, but I know the whole truth, Daddy.” I wiped the tears that never dried. “I don’t know why he hates me so much. I left for my country three years, hoping—”“Then go back. You’re not welcome here anymore. You’re more American than Serevian. You put this family and the palace to shame.”“You push my hands into doing it. You controlled my life when I had so much potential.”He flared his nose at me. “Do you know why I hate you, Tara? Because you to

MAD“Not when Damian knows how to keep her off the media radar,” Nites said.I shook my head. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. “I just feel something—”“Don’t.” Nites gripped my shoulders from behind. “Don’t jinx it. She needs this to be done. It’s important to her before she settles down, and you should be happy. She’s back home, and you did the part that the King has asked you to do.”“That’s not what I would have done. I should be with her, Nites. I should have sent her home.” I pushed the food away. I barely touched it. I was hungry, but I didn’t have any appetite. “I can’t eat.”“Just relax, okay?”I glared at him. “I can’t, not until I hear something from her, and we can’t even contact Damian fucking Rosenheim. Maybe I should call the Queen to make sure Tara has landed and reached home. Or call your buddy from Osmium. Maybe there’s another way to contact Damian.”“Just give it a few more hours, okay?”“God, sometimes I want to punch you in the face.” I stoo

MADMy voice echoed in her massive room, leaving a deafening silence in its wake. For a long moment, I paced, trying to succumb to the loss. The silence stretched between us, and neither of us wanted to speak, and all I could hear was her sob. I stared at Tara, shaking, crying alone as I tried to process the bombshell and mostly the pain of losing our child. Our child. Jesus Christ. There was a human in her womb— our child was gone. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I finally felt the familiar pain in my chest, of what was it felt like losing someone you loved, the familiar pain that never went away, only awakened by painful memories. It was the very same pain I felt earlier, even worse at the thought of losing her.I shuddered in relief, in guilt, in regret, in rage, in resentment— My chest was full of raw emotions that I didn’t know how to let go, only waiting to explode.“You were pregnant,” I said breathlessly.It wasn’t a question, but she nodded jerkily. “Yes.”“Were you ever pl

MADMy heart raced as I ran in her direction. Why did I feel like she was trying to hurt herself? Because I’d been there in her situation once, when you lost the will to live, the next thing that came to your head was you just wanted to end the pain for once. The only thing that was stopping me was thinking that Isaac would live without her mother and lose his uncle at the same time. And I’d felt that emptiness once, and the unfilled agonizing loneliness and painful hole in my chest. I’d seen that look in Tara’s eyes, too many times in the mirror. And I would never let her feel those emotions alone.“Baby,” I called her softly, not to surprise her. She stopped at barely three feet from the cliff. “The soil could be soft.”“It’s granite, Mad.”I breathed deeply as I held her hand. “I know, but an accident happened.” I just had a bad feeling about what was going on in her head right now. I pulled her back to me. When she finally stepped back, I wrapped her in my arms tightly and dipp
