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.

DEVON

I sat in my room at the guest house, drenched in sweat and trembling hands with bloodied knuckles. The wall had got more red paint on it. Its old paint peeling off at places, and more bricks peeked out interestingly at my fucked up self.

After half an hour of trying, begging for me to stop punching the wall before the property crumbled down, Christine finally gave up twenty minutes ago.

I didn't hear any other sound in the house except my harsh breaths. I assumed she must have left to take care of something.

My mind was blank. More than my body, my heart was hurt.

What have I done?!

But I didn't regret it because it helped me with my goal. Elena was not more important than my goal, I have already made it clear to myself.

Then why her every world pierced through me like an arrow? Why did that hateful look in her eyes tear me apart?

She was no one! No one!
