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.

Now That Was My Woman!

DEVON

I didn't feel good after talking with aunt Joanna like that. I had never been so rude to her. But she must understand that now Elena was my responsibility though I was marrying her only out of my selfish motives.

And the other reason I didn't want to leave her alone in the city was Mason. He must be wandering out there like a raging bull, looking for her. He would definitely try to ruin this thing for me.

But I wouldn't allow that!

"You should have gone to meet your parents. They must want to know the reasons for your actions tonight." She didn't sound sarcastic or hateful. Nor she sounded concerned.

"I know but that can wait until the morning. Right now you are my priority."

I noticed her finger freezing midway while she was scratching her thumb.

She held my gaze for a few seconds before she looked away. Turning around to face me, she said, "I want to go back to the hotel. I need some rest."

She indeed looked exhausted.

"First you need to eat something."
