Arrogant billionaire's enigmatic wife

I am not the man of her dreams yet she keeps falling for me slowly every day! ************* With a sweet, normal life and a bright career, I couldn't ask for anything else than crossing paths with a stranger from the past. Little did I know that when he would arrive, he wouldn't come alone but with his dark secrets that would tear through my soul and a life of whirlwind that would turn my world upside down. And with the serial killer on the loose, I would need to protect not only him, but also my biggest enemy- his father! I am Elena Bell, and this is my story of friendship, betrayals, revenge and LOVE! ************* EXCERPT:- I sucked a long breath as my eyes widened. The fake pretentious smile broke as I stared at him as if he had grown two heads over his shoulders. Devon turned to face me again, catching my eyes. With a smile playing on his lips, he continued, "And now that I think about it, I certainly am whipped by your charms, Elena! I am not great with words, and no matter how much I prepared, no words can contain my feelings as they should. So here I am asking you directly without beating around the bush." I watched horrified, as he went down on one knee. People gasped audibly in shock, must be mirroring my expressions. He finally pulled out his hand from his pants pocket to reveal a red velvet box. 'This is not happening! This is not happening!', my chants didn't change anything at all. He pressed the small button with his thumb and its lid opened to show a diamond-studded ring inside. My head turned heavy, and I thought I would collapse right then and there if he continued with that drama for another minute. Clearly, he was not done yet. *********** Instagram: author_rutujap Discord: https://discord.gg/wpyvsh42 ****** The cover is mine.

I Don't Need Your Pity!

ELENA

Don't even ask me what happened after I finally revealed my intention to Devon. Nonetheless and after a load of fuss, he was now sitting opposite his father at the other end of the table with me on his left side.

Either Madison was oblivious to the thick tension in the air or was good at pretending as if she was the only person smiling and passing every bowl and dish on the table to her son as if his wife kept him starving for seasons.

I agree that I couldn't cook, but that didn't mean I kept Devon on empty stomach.

'It's okay, Elena. She is his mother. She has a right to shower her love on him.', I kept telling that myself.

While calming myself, I didn't notice Victor Sanders' scrutinising gaze on Devon until he opened his mouth.

"I wonder what made you come and sit with the family for dinner. It has been about a week since you are living here."

I exhaled, upset with the way that man didn't only ruin lives but also the mood with his mere words.
