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.

She Is Now My Responsibility!

DEVON

I had done zero preparations on how I was going to propose to Elena. I thought I would just walk over to her and tell her to marry me.

But the moment I reached the stage and saw her closely, the words spurted out from my mouth on their own.

Instead of thinking and rearranging them, I had to hold myself back from saying too much. I kept reminding myself of the purpose of that proposal. I wasn't proposing to her out of love but just to make her indebted to me, to take all her controls in my hand and to keep her close to me.

The whole time she was tensed beside me. I was glad that she didn't create a scene and agreed easily.

But the sweetest part of the cake was Mason's face. I saw my parents walking out angrily, followed by aunt Julianne who looked more torn between her brother and nephew than angry.

But mason stood there glaring at me murderously. I was enjoying the burn he felt. He just hadn't imagined that I would come up with such a plan even in his wildest dreams.
