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

I stared directly into Jeremy's eyes, hoping he would see the sincerity in my words. I could feel the two pairs of eyes boring holes in my back, but I focused on the man in front of me.


I raised my hand and placed it firmly on Jeremy's shoulder.


"You know I won't offer the same if you miss this opportunity."


And that made him slowly nod his head. Dad was ready on his feet to get Mason, but I stopped him.


"Only I am going to take him back." I declared.


He opened his mouth to argue, but Mr Ortiz butted in.


Mr Ortiz nodded his head before smirking my way.


"We need someone to keep your temper in check Devon. We don't want another breaking news about the cousins strangling each other to death, now do we?"


I opened my voice to object, but dad's words surprised me.


"That's right. Take her with you. Mason too seems like taking a liking toward his cousin-in-law." He muttered, avoiding to meet my eyes.
