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.

Why Can't You Trust Me At All

DEVON

"Get out! Get the fuck out of here because I don't even want to see your face. You have tormented me enough for tonight. Please just go!"

Elena's spitful words churned my heart painfully. Yes, I was angry. The moment I got to know that Mason booked the hotel room for her, I lost it.

I had never learned to trust anyone. I never got that opportunity except for that one fateful time. But as expected from my fucked up life, that one opportunity destroyed my willingness to trust anyone again in life.

But was that Elena's fault?

She had her share of mistakes in our relationship but so did I. But she never treated me so coldly or accused me of things I hadn't done.

Then why I always kept her hurting like that?

She didn't deserve this.

I didn't plan our special night to end on such a tense note. She was supposed to be the happiest woman in that place. Yet here, she was breaking down like an iceberg under the ruthless summer light.

I couldn't watch her like that anymore.
