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.

The Day- 1

DEVON

I was not shocked per se but definitely surprised to see my whole family standing there in front of me. Dressed as best as they were known for, they stood wearing smiles on their faces- the plastic ones of course.

I was familiar with those kinds of smiles that my family plastered for the sake of maintaining their image in front of the public. And today, they were doing the same.

"They are here for you, Devon. People are watching and this day is special for Elena. Act wisely." Mr Ortiz murmured by my side.

Maintaining a straight face, I walked to stand where my family was. Aunt Julianne was the first one who stepped forward and hugged me with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, but it was filled with relief to a certain extent.

"Oh my dear, Devon! I am so happy that I got a chance to attend your wedding!" She said against my chest as I wrapped my arms around her short frame. Her words were meant for only me to listen.
