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.

You Don't Get To Decide My Future

ELENA

It was past ten in the morning, and Joanna had to leave for the office. She still looked much like a sleep-deprived person, but at least she was doing better than me.

She went to her home to get cleaned up but not before she made breakfast for us. She didn't trust me with the fire and eggs, just like dad.

Once she left, I took some time to get a long hot bath to release the tension from the night from my system.

Now that I had rested a little and freshened up, I found myself more in a comfortable space where I could think clearly.

I set the table with breakfast before going to dad's room. I placed my ear on his door, but no sounds came from the other side. I waited, contemplating how should I approach him.

With uncertain thoughts, I raised my hand to knock on his door. I didn't expect him to open it on the second knock itself.

When I finally took in his form, he looked... better. Much better than I expected.
