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 was nervous when I stepped inside the bedroom that night after dinner. It was already late, and Devon was again on his laptop with a frown settled on his face.


I closed the door behind me gently and waited for him to look up at me. But when he didn't, I walked inside the bathroom to get ready to sleep.


While I was brushing my teeth, I contemplated if I should talk to him. We were not on great terms lately, but that didn't mean we didn't talk at all.


It was worth taking the chance, I thought before stepping out of the bathroom. Yet he was still on his laptop, sitting in a comfortable chair in the corner of the room.


I walked to the bed and sat on the edge, holding it tightly to stop myself from scratching my thumb.


You are not doing anything wrong, so stop getting nervous, I scolded myself.


"Devon?" I called him twice to gain his attention.


But he didn't look up from the screen and hummed. "Hmm?"


I Would Not Hold Back Either!
