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.

I Won't Leave You In The Middle

ELENA

After Sheriff Bolt left with only- I will think about it- Joanna and I sat silently with bloated bellies and empty plates on the table.

After ten minutes of pregnant silence, Joanna finally asked, "So what have you decided?"

"I don't know," I said, staring at my fingers in my lap.

"Should I ask for Mr Burke's help? I mean... if Devon Sanders has great connections then he must have them too, right?" I asked hopefully.

But Joanna didn't share the same enthusiasm for my idea as me.

"Elena have you forgotten what happened after only having a lunch with him? By asking Mr Burke's help you will split the family in two. This idea doesn't fancy me at all!" She gave her honest opinion.

I wanted to argue but wasn't she, right? No matter how much I hated Sanders... I couldn't take it out on the Burkes.

"Then I don't know what should I do!" I told her honestly.
