A Deal With The Devil

Chapter 24

Isabella

"What?! How come?! We have deal about that building already."

"Im sorry but they cancelled the deal last minute since you haven't sign any contract yet so they won't sell the building."

"Why? I offered them good money. In fact, more than the actual price of that building."

"I don't know Isa, they just cut off the deal."

Inhale. Exhale. What am I gonna do? I needed answers! The deal has a good flow, they cancelled the deal. In fact, we should have a meeting this 3 pm to transfer the property to me. The building would be a good warehouse and factory for my stored clothes.

"Marg. Call my investigator."

.....

"Ms. Campbell?!" I saw Simon's secretary's eyes widen. She's still Jess working for him. I looked down at her belly and saw a bump. She must be pregnant!

"Uh.... yeah..... Is Mr. Ross here?"

"Yeah. It was only him in his office. Would you to enter?"

"Yes please."

Jessa stood up and revealed more of her bump. She then opened the dorr leading to Simon's office.

"Thank you." I spoke. I tried to be nice to Jess especially that she's pregnant even though how angry I am to her boss.

The door closed with a thud sound indicating that I'm here alone with him.

I saw his face. He had that arrogant feature of his face but then he looked so calmed and relaxed.

"You!" I yelled and hurriedly went to his table while I drop my fist to it.

"Me what?"

"Stop playing games with me Ross!"

"What did I do? I haven't seen you for a week already I thought you miss me."

"Stop it Ross. I know what you did."

"Did what?"

"Stop playing dumb! I know you're the one who stole my deal with Mr. Devins for the selling of his property in Manhattan. You're purposely doing this! "

He chuckled slightly the touch of arrogance showed his face.

"You're so smart sweetcheeks. How did you found out?"

I smirked. "Of you think you're the only one who had connections then think again."

"Okay. Okay..... so you really wanted that property so badly, don't you?"

"You won't steal that deal purposely if I don't."

"I can give it to you for free but---"

"No."

"No? You haven't heard my proposal yet."

"But it's a no."

I saw his jaw clenched while he still silenced.

"I don't take no for an offer sweetcheeks." He said while he roamed his fingers through my jaw. His touch.... sent some chills and butterflies. "I can get whatever I want and you know that." He added.

I held his wrist and dropped it harshly.

"Well you can't!" I said and stormed out off his office.
...............

The Bar...

My day is stressful, I want to be alone for now and take my stress away. As much as I want to talk to Gabe about my problem, but he's stressful too because his mom was confined to hospital.

I love Gabe so much! When we arrive here in New York, he finally confessed and now, we are official lovers. That's why I don't need Simon's presence anymore.

I gulped my drink to empty it then the bartender immediately replaced another one when I noticed someone sat beside my stool. He looks so handsome and dashing, his black eyes and blonde hair was neatly combed. He looked smart from his modern styled blazer and tight pants.

"Hi I'm Marco." He said with his accent.

Wow Italian.....

"Hi.... I'm Isabella."

I gulped my drink again to empty.

"Can I buy you a drink?" He smiled

"Sure." I smiled.

He signalled the waiter to give him another shot
of gin and another and another and another. We had a good conversation but then,

I keep on gulping them as I realized that he's not even drinking a shot.

But the time I realized it, it was late, I felt nauseous and dizzy, my eyes are blurry my body doesn't function well.

He smirked.

Oh Gosh! He had plans! He's a rapist. Did he put something in my drink?

Oh Gosh I should fight back. But suddenly my consciousness turned black.....

.................

Simon's POV

I went inside the bar where my investigators located her. When I went inside I saw her lying on the bar counter.

She looks so vulnerable, and unconscious.

I saw one of my hired man Marco just stood up.

"She's asleep." Marco said while paying the bartender his bill and also his bribe.

I went to vulnerable form of MY GIRL. This is the only time she won't be stubborn when I'm around. I miss my Isabella.

She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

She won't stay with me not unless I hold her on her neck.

She's mine.

I carried her small frame into a bridal style and kissed her kissable pink lips. Despite of that successful woman facade she's still my innocent queen.

I love her and I can't wait for  her to be mine.

TONIGHT..

Isabella POV

My eyes fluttered open as my head throbbed so fucking hard.........

I woke up in an unfamiliar room.

Where am I? What happened to me?

I recalled what happened last night.

Oh Gosh! It's Marco!

My heart suddenly beats faster. I looked down at my body and realized I'm naked.

Oh no!

I looked down at the floor and saw my discarded clothes and wore them immediately.

I should get out of here now!

The door suddenly opened revealing a tall lean man.

I looked at him. He had brown hair while Marco has blonde.

Definitely not Marco. It's Simon!

"What the hell!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"What did you do to me?!"

"Hi sweetcheeks, breakfast ready downstairs."

"Cut the fucking crap Simon! What did you do to me?!"

He sighed. "I'm sorry."

"I can't believe this! You're crazy! Why can't you understand!?"

"I'm sorry I just want you back Isa! You're the one who can't understand!"

"I Love yo-" before he ended I cutted him off when my palms blow on his cheeks so hard that it stings me too.

"Such a big word from you Simon. So unbelievable."

And with that I left.....
