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.

We Are In Danger, Devon

ELENA

I was sitting on the balcony of our bedroom at the villa with a shawl wrapped around my shoulders. I wasn't sure if I was feeling cold or not but I certainly needed something to cover myself as if that soft shawl would protect me from the impending danger.

After that earth-shattering kiss we shared in the hospital room, Devon took me back home. I thought we would continue what Jimmy interrupted once we are in our room-alone and in privacy, but Devon kept quiet throughout the ride.

I was anxious about what he was thinking, but I had lost all my bravado after that kiss. He walked me to our room and told me to rest before he disappeared.

It had been about an hour, and yet he hadn't returned or spoken to me more than a couple of sentences.

I sighed, not knowing how we ended up in this situation where we both needed each other and yet held ourselves back from reaching out to other.

Should I apologise to Victor if that was what Devon wanted?
