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.

ELENA

I was waiting in anticipation while raising my toes with my palms full of flower petals. I checked the time and frowned, mumbling to myself.

"He should have been here by now."

I heard an annoyed tsk from behind before Joanna's voice fell on my ears. "Stop chanting that like a prayer Elena. Mr Sanders said he will be here at four. There are still ten minutes left."

I glanced back at her to see her checking the preparations once again. While Steve made sure that every corner of the house was just as it was three days ago.

Yes! Within only three days, Devon had the whole place repaired to what it looked like before. The only difference one could notice was the fresh paint on the walls. But he said he would handle that on his own.

And I believed him.

"Boss, everything is just perfect! I can't believe the workers Mr Sanders hired did all of this in just three days given the condition of the place before." Steve looked genuinely amazed by that.

I smiled, nodding my head.
