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.

Tell Me This Is Just A Nightmare

ELENA

I stood beside Joanna, rubbing my forehead. She was silent for a minute before she called my name.

"Elena?"

"Please say this is a nightmare, Joanna! Please tell me that this past hour didn't happen at all. Say I am cursed by one of my rivals and thus getting these horrifying dreams!" I pleaded to look up at her with desperation.

But the helplessness on her face said otherwise.

I released a shuddering breath, and she pulled me in for a hug. She rubbed her hand on my back as I hugged her tightly.

The onlookers must be thinking that I was overwhelmed with joy, and now my best friend was trying to calm me. But the reality was not as it looked.

"My life is fucked up, Joanna! How am I going to face dad? What have I done?!" I cursed myself to the moon and back for trusting Devon.

I shouldn't have listened to Sheriff Bolt and accepted Devon's help.
