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.

Taking Help From Devon?

ELENA

Ignoring Christine's Cheshire smile, I parked the car in the parking lot beside Sheriff Bolt's Jeep. I checked my phone to see Joanna's message that said she would be here in ten minutes.

Checking myself in the rearview mirror once, I stepped out of the car and followed Sheriff's tall and lanky frame inside the restaurant.

It was a familiar place. This was my and dad's night out spot ever since I remember. My legs automatically carried me to my favourite table near the window.

The cosy old restaurant hadn't changed its interior for what seemed like ages. To hide the chapped paint and cracks in the wall, they had stuck posters of all kinds without following a uniform theme.

The one that was right in front of me was a guffawing cow, and that creeped me out more than any other thing. Thankfully Sheriff's tall frame hid it from my view.

"What would you like to order?" He asked, checking their old menu that had become sticky with the mustard sauce and ketchup.
