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.

Cold And Warm Moods

ELENA

I was waiting at the police station anxiously on Wednesday evening. The lawyers were busy with the Sheriff going over the documents and papers.

They managed to get bail for dad, and I couldn't explain how happy I was! But what bothered me was the bail amount that Devon had to pay.

When Sheriff gave me the number, my head spun thinking about how I was going to manage that much money. It would have taken me more than a week to sell a few things that belonged to me.

But I also didn't want dad to spend even one more night behind the bars. And that left me with no other choice than call Devon.

He was busy in some important meeting, yet he picked up my call. He didn't sound irritated or angry when he received my cal.

When I asked for help, he just said- it will be done! Don't worry. I will call you after I get free.

I stared at my phone for a whole minute. Did he agree to pay money without batting his lashes?
