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    His Eyes In The Dark

    Arielle Darius got on his feet the moment he sensed the strange silence hanging in the room. I hated that my body reacted before my mind now. Fear. That was what he’d left inside me after last night. Tessa noticed it too. I saw it in the way her eyes followed my movements carefully whenever Darius got too close. He noticed it, too. That was the worst part. As he turned the door, I stopped him quietly. “Tessa’s spending the weekend here,” I said with full confidence, like I owned the place. “I really need her.”He blinked once and turned slowly. Then his eyes moved to Tessa. And hardened. “You heard the doctor. You need to rest.”“I know, but–““What exactly can she give you that I can’t?” He interrupted calmly. He had me completely shook. “There are maids in this house ready to get you whatever you want.”Tessa crossed her arms instantly.“And you,” he continued, finally looking at her directly. “Don’t you have somewhere else to be?”A small frown settled on her face. “This is e

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Scared Of Him

    Arielle I froze completely. For some reason, the news hit me harder than I expected. Joel’s reaction was even worse. “What in the bloody hell happened?” I asked in disbelief. Tessa exhaled heavily before answering. “According to Summer, Tiffany helped Blake rob her boss after she got fired. The same boss, by the way.”My eyes widened. “What?” Joel asked sharply. “What do you mean by fired? We talked three days ago.”“Look, maybe we shouldn’t talk about her right–““No,” I cut in quickly, turning to Tessa. “Keep talking.”Tessa blinked slowly. “Tiffany got fired two days ago,” she explained calmly. “Apparently, Darius actually meant it when he threatened her. After she lost the job, she needed money. Blake came up with the idea to rob her boss.”I stared blankly. “And now she’s in jail while Blake disappeared.”Of course she did. “Wait–““That’s not even the worst part,” Tessa added quietly. There was more?“This one’s about you.”I frowned instantly. “She’s been telling peo

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Tussive Syncope

    Arielle They both exchanged glances for a few seconds. I waited until they were done.“Y–yes, ma’am,” the doctor finally answered. “What did he tell you?”“He said you both had a little misunderstanding last night,” he explained carefully.“And?”“You became emotional and left the room. While going downstairs, you suddenly collapsed.”What the fuck? My eyes snapped to Darius instantly. “He lied to you,” I said immediately. “Darius shoved me onto this bed and grabbed me by the neck. He tried to kill me. He didn't say a word. Not a single reaction. “Can’t you see the marks on my neck?” I asked bitterly. The doctor hesitated. That tiny pause alone told me everything. Oh. He knew. For a moment, I couldn’t even speak. I just stared at the ceiling, feeling completely helpless. The doctor knew what Darius had done. And he still stood there pretending everything was normal. “You knew that, didn’t you?” I asked. The doctor didn’t react. I let out a short laugh. “Alright,” Darius

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Day I Almost Died

    Arielle Darius snapped out of it and released me instantly. He stepped back slowly like he’d only just realized what he’d done. Darius stared at his hands for too long. I coughed violently the second his grip loosened. My lungs burned so badly that I rolled off the bed and hit the floor beside it. I couldn’t breathe properly. Every cough scratched my throat raw like broken glass was lodged inside it. My chest tightened painfully while tears streamed uncontrollably down my face. What the fuck just happened? Just hours ago, he had been buying me jewelry. Carrying shopping bags. Acting almost normal. Now he’d nearly killed me. My fingers trembled slightly against my neck as I kept coughing. I could still feel the imprint of his hand around my throat. Then the door opened. “I apologize for barging in, sir. I thought someone was in trou–“ The voice stopped abruptly. A familiar voice. Darius paced backward frustratingly, dragging his hands through his ha

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Just Like Her

    Arielle “What are you doing here?” He asked. I ignored him. What was he doing in the bags section? Did he come with Amber? Oh God. This was bad. I turned quickly, walking away like I hadn’t heard him. But the footsteps behind me followed, steady, and persistent. My mind refused to admit the truth. Emris was following me. Before I could get back to Darius, a hand grabbed mine and yanked me into a corner. My breath caught. His palm covered my mouth instantly. “Shh.”My heart slammed against my chest. My thoughts scattered in every direction. Why was I even here? Why was he here? And why was Amber here, too? I didn’t like the combo. Slowly, he removed his hand. I tried to step away immediately, but he caught my wrist again. “Would you relax?” He muttered. “Let go of me.” His eyes shifted past me, toward where I’d been heading. Darius. “I’m letting go,” he said quietly. “You don’t need to run. I just want to talk.”I stayed still, breathing unevenly. “What are you doing

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Wife For The Day

    Arielle I’d barely spent a week in his house. And yet, everything already felt too deep. Too planned. What could this possibly be about? What had my mother done this time? My chest tightened as I leaned closer to the door, trying to catch every word. “Your father buried this years ago,” Lisa said. “Why bring it up now?” “Mother,” Darius replied, controlled. “I have work to do–“ I didn’t hear the rest. I tiptoed downstairs quickly, forcing my face into something normal. By the time I reached the living room, I was already seated. Legs crossed, posture straight, like I had been there all along. When Lisa appeared, I stood immediately, smiling. “Oh…you’re leaving already?” “Yes, my darling,” she said warmly. “I’m sorry, we’ll talk another time.” “Aww,” I said, feigning disappointment. “I just told Ryan to prepare something for you before you leave.” The lie slipped out easily. She touched my shoulder gently. “Next time.” I held the smile until she walked o

    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

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    When The Road Ended

    Arielle Darius's eyes stayed on me, unblinking, as if he was waiting for something to fall from my lips. The silence between us stretched, thick and heavy, broken by only the hum of the engine and the faint rush of the wind against the windows. I folded my hands in my lap, staring s

    Arielle “Who’s Emris?” He asked suddenly, eyes fixed on the road. I glanced at him. “What?” “I heard Tessa mention some guy named Emris,” he said, gripping the steering wheel. “Care to tell me who that is?” “No. Why?” “No?” “Let me worry about that.”
