I still couldn’t believe I was hearing her voice. They kept talking like people who hadn’t seen each other in years.

“Where’s Amber?” My mother asked brightly. “Did she come with you?”

Great. She knew about Amber, too.

“Amber and I broke up weeks ago," Emris replied.

“I’m so sorry to hear that.”

I’d forgotten how much she adored him. Like the son she never had.

I couldn’t listen anymore. I leaned back in Darius’s chair and ended the call. I had heard enough.

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Conversation We Owed Each Other

    Arielle “I should go see her," I said after sitting for barely a minute. “No.”Darius's hand closed gently around my arm. “She just had surgery,” he said. “She needs rest. It’s best not to wake her.”Frustration tightened my chest. “But I need to see if she’s okay.”“I’ll handle it. You can trust me.”Trust him? After everything that had happened?Yet before I could argue, he called out a nurse. Darius looked at her. “This is my wife. She’s not feeling well. I’d like you to examine her.”My wife. That word caught me off guard. My eyes moved to him immediately. He said it so naturally, as if we weren’t standing on the ruins of a situationship that neither of us could fix. The nurse smiled politely. “Of course, sir.”Then she turned to me. “Please come with me, ma’am.”I looked between them. “Don’t I look okay?”The nurse chuckled softly. Darius didn’t. “You’ve been through enough today,” he said. “Let her check you.”Something in his voice made me pause. He wasn’t pretending lik

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    She’s Alive

    Arielle“No, I just want to go home,” I whispered as tears slid down my cheeks. “I can’t stand seeing his face knowing he killed her on purpose.”Darius didn’t respond immediately. He simply looked at me. He felt what I was feeling. As though he was trying to figure out how much damage had been done in the last few hours. “And now I blame myself for everything,” I continued weakly. “I shouldn’t have gone back there. I shouldn’t have returned to that house.”My voice cracked. “I feel so stupid,” a sob escaped me. "I feel really stupid.”The tears wouldn’t stop. “I don’t think I can forgive myself.”For a moment, neither of us spoke. Then suddenly, Darius reached for me and pulled me against his chest. I froze. Of all things I expected from him, this wasn’t one of them. I had cried in front of him before. I’d argued. Even hated him. But never like this. His expensive suit was probably ruined by now, but he didn’t seem to care. He simply held me there, letting me cry. He didn’t e

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    He Came Anyway

    Arielle Sylvia screamed and kept smashing the phone beneath her heels.Over and over. The sound echoed through the abandoned building like a hammer striking concrete. Pieces of plastic were scattered across the floor until Ryder finally stepped forward and grabbed her arm. She jerked away from him and looked at me. “Pray he shows up,” she said coldly. “Or consider this the last day of your life.”A shiver crawled down my spine. My breathing remained uneven as I stared back at her. At this point, I hated both of them. There was no difference. Both of them were monsters. “You had Ryder steal Darius’s phone at the club, didn’t you?” I asked bitterly. “I knew that text didn’t come from him.”Sylvia's jaw tightened. She didn’t answer. That alone was enough. I laughed humorlessly. “So it was you?”My eyes narrowed. “But why send the message to Tessa’s phone instead of mine?”The question slipped out before I could stop it. How much did they know about me? How much had they been watch

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Hostage

    Arielle Shock ripped through all of us. It felt as though the entire house had started shaking. Our hands went up instinctively. Tiffany stood in front of Tessa and me, tears already streaming down her face as she pleaded desperately.It reminded me of the day Blake tried to kill us. Only this felt worse. “Who are you?” I asked, my voice trembling. “Why are you doing this? Who sent you?” Ryder didn’t blink. The gun remained steady in his hand.“Did Darius send you?” The question slipped out before I could stop it. “Did he send you to kill me?”“I don’t work for Darius.” “Then who sent you?” Tessa demanded. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed her slowly reaching toward the knife holder. The only knife left. My heart nearly stopped. Tiffany remained directly in front of us, shielding our movements. Fortunately, Ryder didn’t seem to notice. “Was it Blake’s Aunt?” Tiffany asked shakily. Who did he plan this with? How did they get hold of Darius’s phone? Ryder ignored the que

    Arielle A heavy silence settled over the room. Tessa stepped forward and hugged Tiffany once more, easing the tension that had suddenly filled the house. “Well,” she said softly as she pulled away. “We’re just happy you’re out of that hellhole.”A small smile appeared on Tiffany’s face. “How’s the baby kicking?”The smile vanished. Her face turned pale. Tessa frowned. Tiffany hesitated before speaking. “I lied,” she admitted quietly, touching her belly. “There’s no baby.”Tessa blinked. “What?”“I wasn’t pregnant the whole time.”Tessa looked from Tiffany’s stomach to me. I simply nodded.“So why did you lie about something like that?” She asked. Tiffany lowered her gaze and fidgeted with her fingers. She looked ashamed. Before she could answer, I spoke. “Because Blake forced her to.”Tessa stared for a moment before sighing. “Well…that’s actually a relief.”Tiffany let out a nervous laugh. “But speaking of Blake,” Tessa continued. “Is he still locked up?”“Yes.”That earned a

    Arielle The smile on my face slowly faded. Why had Xavier bowed to Leo? It felt strange. As Leo disappeared into the crowd, I found myself wondering who he really was. I slid into the seat beside Tessa. She looked just as thoughtful. Good. At least, I wasn’t imagining things. “What would you like, ladies?” Xavier asked with a charming smile after serving another customer. “Sex on the beach," Tessa replied immediately. My eyes widened. “Again?” I whispered. She was looking really exhausted. She didn’t need one. She looked at me innocently. “What? You don’t want one?” “No,” I rubbed my temple. “I think we’ve had enough alcohol for one night. I feel dizzy, I just want to go home.” “Fair enough.” Tessa grabbed her bag and stood. “We don’t want anything, Xavier.” He nodded. “Have a good night.” “You, too," I said before following Tessa out of the club. The cool night air hit my face instantly. I inhaled deeply. While Tessa opened her ride app, I glanc

    Arielle Tiffany turned back and went silent. “It’s me,” I tapped my chest. “Arielle”. “Oh”. She uttered flatly. “Yeah,” I sighed. “Tiffany, I swear I’m ready to tell you anything you want to know. I’m never hiding anything from–“ “Let’s not talk about that here.” She

    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
