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 Engaged!

ELENA

After a few minutes, Officer Williams took his leave. The silence was filled with tension, frustration and fear. It was too much for everyone. It was clear on their faces.

The only person who was still calm and composed in that situation was obviously Mr Ortiz. I caught him eyeing Christine and Jimmy, giving them meaningful looks which I didn't understand.

"What's that about?"

He remained silent, but Christine panicked. "What?"

"That! You guys are having this secret conversaion between you. Are you trying to hide anything?" I asked, leaning forward. My eyes were narrowed in suspicion.

"Elena, cut them some slacks please. You get too persistent sometimes."

I tsked, glaring at Dad. "No, I don't!"

"Yes, you do!" Devon, Joanna and Jimmy said in unison.

"Are you all trying to get on my nerves right now?" Irritation was clear in my voice.

"Calm down, Elena." Madison tried with her motherly tone, but that didn't stop me from demanding.
