Arielle

A knock tapped against the glass. Tessa. I stepped outside to meet her. “When did Miss Sylvia leave her office?” I asked.

“Oh, like an hour ago,” she replied slowly.

“She didn’t say anything to you?”

“No.” She tilted her head, studying me. “Were you expecting something from her?”

Her words blurred in my ears. I didn’t listen to a thing she said. Heat crept up my spine as we walked away from the shop. I scratched my hair in frustration, glanc

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    I Forgot To Hate Him

    Arielle “Rob said the man acted suspiciously,” Joel said carefully. “He had a drunk lady in his back seat and claimed he was trying to drop her off at her house.”Oh dear. “He said the lady was the one directing him.”I scoffed quietly and folded my arms. “A drunk person?” Joel nodded once. “He didn’t give his name?”“He said his name was Matteo.”Matteo, my ass. “It was a black GLE, wasn’t it?”Joel’s brows furrowed slightly before he nodded again. I knew it was Emris. It had to be him. He lied about his name because he didn’t want to be recognized. “Did Rob take any pictures of this Matteo guy?” I asked quickly.“No,” Joel answered. “But I can pull up the CCTV footage if you want. Though, I can’t promise a clear angle. His face might not show properly.”“That’s fine,” I replied immediately. “Go do that.”Joel nodded before turning toward the door. The moment he left, I exhaled deeply and leaned against the balcony rail. Matteo, my ass. It was his car. Same timing.Honestly,

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    It’s Weird I Care

    Arielle I stared him dead in the eye. “Let me go. Now.”A cold smile spread across his face as his fingers remained wrapped around my arm. This man had completely lost his mind.“Darius–““I tried tracking your location,” he interrupted quietly. “But somehow, I couldn’t.”His eyes narrowed slightly. “Did you switch off your phone?”A laugh escaped me before I could stop it. I lowered my head, shaking it slowly. “Tell me where you went,” he continued. “And maybe I’ll act like your loving husband and carry you upstairs since you clearly look like you can’t walk.”That one made me burst into laughter. “Oh my God,” I muttered. “You’re unbelievable.”His face remained unreachable. “I don’t need your stupid pretense,” I replied coldly. “And I’m sure as hell not answering your question.”That smile vanished instantly. His grip tightened. I swallowed hard, but refused to look away. “Go on,” I whispered. “Grab me by the neck and choke me again. Isn’t that what you’re best at?”Silence f

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Lunch With Joel

    Arielle “Darius,” I called, banging lightly on the window. “Come on, don’t do this. We were just talking–“Nathan switched on the engine. “Nathan, don’t you dare,” I warned, moving quickly to the driver’s side window. Unfortunately, he listened to his boss more than me. The car sped out of the garage so fast it almost looked like a racecar. I stood there in disbelief, staring after it. Seriously?This was the second time Darius had ditched me.I slowly turned back at Joel. “Can you believe him?” Joel said nothing. “How are we supposed to get home now?”“I’ll call a taxi,” he replied calmly, already pulling out his phone. “It should be here in a few minutes.”I let out a frustrated breath and crossed my arms. “But why would he do that?” I muttered. “Just because we had a conversation outside his office? Must he be aware of everything?”Joel stayed quiet, focused on his screen. I groaned softly, dragging a hand through my hair. “Let’s get out of here first…it’s suffocating.”We

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Asian Investors

    Arielle I chose a quiet corner in the hallway before stopping. People kept passing by, so I waited patiently until the area finally emptied. Then I turned to Joel. “I need a favor.” He stiffened almost immediately. “And I want this to stay between us.” He exhaled quietly before nodding once. I leaned closer, lowering my voice. “A strange car was at the gate last night,” I whispered. “I need you to speak to whoever was on gate duty and find out who it belonged to.” “A strange car?” He repeated, confused. “Nathan told me it was Mrs. Lisa Rothwell’s car. I shook my head quickly. “No. This one came before hers.” His brows pulled together slightly. “Just help me investigate it,” I added softly. “Please.” Because I knew I saw. I knew I saw Emris. But when he called earlier, he sounded completely normal. Like he hadn’t been anywhere near Darius’s house. Joel studied my face for a few seconds before nodding again. “Okay. I’ll tell you everything I find before

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Party Invitation

    Arielle Thank goodness, Darius wasn’t paying much attention to me. His focus kept drifting toward Joel instead. But my mind was elsewhere. Emris. What was he doing outside Darius’s house? He was here last night. And now again this morning. I needed to find out. Lisa’s car eventually turned onto another road while ours continued straight ahead. As soon as we arrived at the company, I adjusted the scarf around my neck and took a deep breath. Only then did I notice Darius still sitting beside me, staring. “What?”He blinked once and looked away. “Nothing.” Then he stepped out of the car and opened the door for me, extending his hand. I hesitated. The number of people staring at us made it worse. Still, I placed my hand in his. We walked into the building together while greetings echoed around us. I forced a smile and waved lightly at them all. The moment the elevator closed, silence settled heavily between us. Too awkward.Thankfully, my phone rang.I quickly slipped my hand

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Beginning Of Exposure

    Arielle Come to think of it…wasn’t Lisa bothered at all that Darius chose me out of every peaceful, decent, and less violent family he could have married into? Or maybe she hadn’t thought about it deeply enough. That my entire life was tied to bloodshed, violence, betrayal…deadly secrets. Yet none of that seemed to matter to her. She just kept looking at me. Studying me softly as if I was already part of her family. The thought unsettled me. She froze the moment I asked the question. I knew it wasn’t really meant for her, but he was her son. “What’s he going to do with me?” I asked again quietly, my eyes shifting between both of them. For a brief moment, nobody answered. Then Lisa slowly looked toward Darius. “That,” she said carefully. “Is what I’m also curious about.” I swallowed hard before speaking. “I’m really sorry your family had to go through all of that with my psycho of a father,” I said honestly. “But what does any of it have to do with me? I

    Arielle “Arielle, I can’t let you do this,” Tiffany said firmly. “You’re not accepting that son of a bitch’s deal just because he’s forcing you to.”Tessa clearly didn’t want me to either. She handed the letter back to me slowly. “I have no choice," I said quietly. Tiffany hesitated, still not c

    Arielle My eyes darted toward Tiffany from behind as I forced a smile. “Here’s our latest menu,” I said politely, and bowed slightly as I handed it to her. “I’ll be back–“ “Give us some time,” she cut in, smiling at Blake. “We’ll call you when we’re ready.” “Alright,” I replied

    Arielle “Nice to see you again, Mr. Darius.” She said, after he stopped laughing. “I’m really sorry for not paying attention to the person sitting next to her. I was carried away by the bruises on her face. Thank you so much for saving her”. “Tiffany, right?” He asked finally. She nodd

    Arielle I floated in darkness. I didn’t know where I was or what had happened. It all felt distant, as if I were underwater. All I was hearing was my mom’s voice, calling me for help. The more she called, the more the fear filled my chest. The sound grew sharper and louder. Then her voice bo
