Blake.

The same Blake who kidnapped her. The same Blake who tried to kill me.

I wiped my eyes, seriously wishing I hadn’t seen that name.

How could she still be in contact with him after everything he did?

Oh dear.

That must have been why she hid her phone two days ago.

I wanted to call Tiffany’s attention to it, but I didn’t want to interrupt her conversation with Joel.

“Are you going to get the–“

“Yeah.” I interrupted Tiffany sharply without looking at her. I

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    A Familiar Shadow

    Arielle We got on the road exactly two minutes past six. Darius drove with one hand while the other rested casually on my thigh. I simply smiled. That small gesture alone made my stomach flutter. I was happy.For the first time in what felt like forever, I was finally getting the life I’d always wanted. Love. Support. Wealth. Peace of mind. And, soon, freedom from school. It had taken so much to get here, but somehow, I was finally content with what I had.“I’ve been watching you stare at the car,” he said, glancing at me. “Do you like it?”My eyes met his. Before I could answer, I felt myself blush and look away. “Kinda.”“I can get you something like this.” “Oh, no—,” I quickly shook my head. “I mean, I’d love that, but I don’t really need a car right now.”He chuckled. “So when do you really need one?”I shrugged and turned toward the window. “I don’t know.”A brief silence filled the car. Then Darius laughed. I couldn’t help laughing too, even though I kept my face turned

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    A&A

    Arielle On the day of my third paper, the moment I stepped out of the building, a familiar car horn echoed through the parking lot. A smile spread across my face instantly. Darius. He had picked me up after my second paper, too, but somehow, seeing him waiting for me still made my heart race. I hurried over and slipped into the passenger seat. “So,” he said with a grin as he pulled away from the curb. “How was the exam?”“Fair enough.”He laughed. “I’ll take that as a good sign. How many do you have left?”I paused to think. “Five.”He nodded as face the road. Instead of heading anywhere else, he drove us straight to his house. This time, the place was completely quiet. Great. Just us. The second we stepped into his room, I tossed my bag onto the floor and walked straight to him. “Come here.” I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him closer before my lips found his. He smiled into the kiss, wrapping an arm around my waist. “I was wondering how long you’d last before do

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The End Of The Contract

    Arielle Was I the only one who knew? Should I tell him now?They were family. He deserved to know. “Wait here,” Darius said quietly. He tapped his thigh once before disappearing into the closet room.A few minutes later, he returned, holding a familiar folder. My eyes narrowed. The contract. Both my copy and his. He stood in front of me, staring at it for a long moment. “This,” he said, lifting it slightly. “Is what joined us together.”His expression hardened. “I don’t want a contract anymore.”Before I could react, he tore the first page in half. My eyes widened. “Darius…what are you doing?”“It’s no longer relevant.” One page became two. Two became more. He tore every single sheet until nothing remained, but shredded pieces and the hard cover. Then he walked to the trash bin and dropped everything inside. My mouth fell wide open. He had destroyed the one thing that had controlled both of our lives. He turned back to me. "Everything I told you tonight is true,” his voice w

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Girl We Both Lost

    Arielle “You lied to me.”Darius swallowed. “Yes…” he admitted quietly. “And I apologize for that. Lying to you about the lawsuit was childish. I should never have done it.” I flung the documents onto the table. “You’ve always lied about everything.”“No,” his expression tightened. “Not everything—“I shut my eyes, trying to steady my breath. “I know most of what we had started because of this contract…” I whispered. “But was any of it real?”Darius crossed the room and gently shook my hand. “Arielle, I’m sorry for every single thing I’ve done to hurt you.”I let out a weary sigh. “I will fix it,” he promised. “Wait.”He stopped immediately. I slowly stood, searching his face. “Is there anything else you haven’t told me?”A long silence followed. Finally, he nodded. “Yes.”My heartbeat quickened. “I’m ready to tell you everything.” His voice was calm now. “I want to show you how serious I am about making things right.”I studied him for a moment before asking him quietly. “When

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    I Chose You

    Arielle As we stepped into his house, a familiar warmth settled around me. Yet my heart refused to stay calm. Why? Maybe because I desperately wanted the truth. Or maybe I was terrified that Darius truly had something to do with Ava’s death. I searched my memories again. Ava never mentioned another boy. She was an only child. Her only friends had been Emris and me. Slowly, I sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at my phone. It was a few minutes to seven. “You want something to eat?” Darius asked. I looked up at him in disbelief. “Are you serious right now?” He hesitated. I folded my arms. “I already ate at the restaurant. I don’t need food.” I met his eyes. “What I need is for you to tell me everything.” With a quiet sigh, he let go of the bedroom door and walked toward the couch opposite me. He sat down. “Fine,” he said. “Ask me anything.” “No,” I shook my head. “You tell me.” Silence lingered between us as our eyes locked for a brief moment.

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    What Really Happened

    Arielle When I was ten years old, something terrible happened that changed my life forever. Before that night, I believed my parents were good people. Some of my classmates used to whisper terrible things about my father. They said he was dangerous. I heard conversations of their parents saying he had ruined their lives. I never believed any of it. I thought they were only jealous of my family’s wealth. Besides my parents, Emris’s family was one of the wealthiest families in Los Angeles. Then there was Ava’s family. I loved Ava. So much. She was one of the sweetest people I’d ever met. From the very first day she transferred into our school, we became inseparable. Alongside Emris, the three of us were always together. What I did not know was that our parents had known each other long before we met. One summer evening, my parents hosted a grand party at our house. As usual, Emris and his parents were leaving for their annual vacation. I wished him a safe tri

She handed the letter back to me slowly. “I have no choice," I said quietly. Tiffany hesitated, still not c
