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.

Arrogant billionaire's enigmatic wife

"There is something called loyalty, Miss Bell. It assures that the other person would never betray my trust.


But how would you understand it? Because aren't you the betrayer amongst us?!


It should be me asking you how should I trust you. Tell me."


I wanted to yell in his face that I didn't betray him... yet!


But I refrained myself from doing that. Instead, I matched his piercing and mocking gaze with my calm and determined one.


"You wouldn't have considered entertaining me by ruining your date if you didn't trust me, Devon."


And for some stupid, stupid reason I wanted him to believe me. So desperately that I could repeat that sentence over and over again until he did.


I refused to break our eye contact. Maybe he would understand the language of eyes if not my words.


I know it's cliche, but... that was how I felt at that time.
