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.

Wh-who is Michael Cross?

ELENA

"Then why you don't have any mud stains on your shirt when the ground must be wet after yesterday's drizzle?"

Devon's question made my eyes widen as I stared at Steve for an explanation. He didn't look down, nor did he try to avert his gaze. Instead, he held Devon's gaze with an inscrutable expression that made me gulp in fear.

Steve released a loud blow of air from his mouth, running his hand through his hair, and before I could get a hold of the situation, he pointed a gun in our way.

I couldn't believe it! No! That can't be true! NO!!

"S-Steve? Y-you..."

"Yes, it's me! Hannah's partner and your end!"

The ground split under me, threatening to swallow me whole as I gawked at the man standing in front of me. How could it be possible?

Steve Cross! Someone whom I considered not only as my colleague but also as my friend and a part of my family was the one who was after our lives all this time.
