Arielle

Yes. My old apartment.

There was something I needed to check there.

Something that could confirm Tiffany’s story and possibly help get her out.

Surprisingly, Darius didn’t argue when I mentioned it. For once, he let me take control of everything.

I tightened my grip around the steering wheel as familiar streets came into view. My chest felt heavier with every turn I took. By the time I parked in front of the apartment building, memories had already started flooding back.

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Fifteen Hours

    Arielle Too many memories were buried in this apartment. If I stayed long enough, they would slowly kill me.Too many emotions and unanswered questions. Was this really my life now? What was I supposed to do next? Find another job? Go back to school and pretend none of this happened? Not to even talk about the humiliation I was going to face there after Tiffany had told everyone I squatted in her house for three years. One thing I’d learned was never to trust a man. Especially a rich one. They would snap their fingers and send you back to where they found you. And the worst part? They wouldn’t lose a second of sleep over it. I sniffed quietly and finally gathered enough courage to step inside. I stood in the middle of the living room and stared around. The house was really a mess. Dust covered most of the surfaces. I switched on the lights, but the brightness only made the mess look worse. I checked my bedroom first. It was exactly how I’d left it. Except my belongings we

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Back Where I Started

    Arielle Our eyes locked for a few seconds. His eyes seemed calm. Mine didn’t. I looked confused. I stared at him, trying to understand what he had just said, but my mind refused to process it. Go home? Back home? Back to my old life? If Darius was trying to punish me for what I said last night, then he had gone too far. This wasn’t funny. And judging from the expression on his face, he wasn’t joking. Not even a little. Although I’d known him to be a great actor, with the fake care and attention he has been showing people whenever we were together. “What do you mean, I’m going home?” I asked quietly. He clicked his tongue and dropped the dress beside the laptop. “It means exactly what it sounds like.”“You’re saying the same thing.”“Nathan is waiting downstairs.”My stomach dropped. “Hurry up and leave.”I blinked. Surely, he couldn’t be serous. “Darius…”He looked away. “I’m sorry,” I said immediately. “I didn’t mean what I said last night.“The moment the words left my mo

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Freedom I Thought I Wanted

    Arielle My heart pounded violently as Darius stared deeply into my eyes. Oh, shit. There was always a problem. One way or another. “You still haven’t answered the questions I asked in the car,” he said calmly. “Don’t think I’m letting this one go, too.” He dropped everything he had been picking up and walked toward me slowly, the folded note still in his hand. “Where did you get this?” I exhaled shakily as I looked at the note. “Arielle,” his voice hardened. “You'd better start talking.” My chest tightened painfully. What exactly was I supposed to say now? Before I could think of an excuse, Darius suddenly reached for the camera connected to the laptop and unplugged it immediately. “Darius!” He turned and walked straight out of the room with it. I rushed after him immediately. “Darius, you can’t do this.” “I’ll give it back when you are ready to talk.” He kept walking downstairs without looking at me. “I need to figure this out before you travel,” I

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Missing Piece

    Arielle “Wait,” he raised a finger slowly. “Was it the same family my mother talked about?” That made two questions I couldn’t answer. I tightened my grip around the steering wheel and focused on the road ahead. For the next few minutes, silence filled the car. But Darius didn’t take his eyes off me. “Arielle.” I ignored him. Even after we arrived home, I still refused to look at him. Nathan stepped forward immediately to collect the car keys while I walked straight into the house without waiting for Darius. When I got upstairs and entered the room alone, relief washed through me. I’d finally escaped him. Or at least, that was what I thought. Barely a minute later, Darius walked into the room quietly as if nothing had happened between us. I tried to avoid his eyes at all costs. He headed toward the closet calmly. Pretending I didn’t exist. Shortly after, he walked back into the bedroom, loosening his tie while looking around casually. Still ignoring me

    ArielleYes. My old apartment. There was something I needed to check there. Something that could confirm Tiffany’s story and possibly help get her out. Surprisingly, Darius didn’t argue when I mentioned it. For once, he let me take control of everything.I tightened my grip around the steering wheel as familiar streets came into view. My chest felt heavier with every turn I took. By the time I parked in front of the apartment building, memories had already started flooding back. Every single thing that happened here returned at once. The late-night gossip and arguments. The laughter. The tears. The nights I stayed awake worrying about school, work, and money. The mornings Tiffany prepared breakfast while I sat across from her, waiting for the meal. Gosh, I never thought I’d come back here again. I stepped out of the car slowly while Darius followed behind me in silence. Even he seemed to notice the shift in my mood. I stood in front of the door for a long moment before reaching

    Arielle “What are you doing here?” I asked, disgust dripping from every word. “I was worried about you,” he replied calmly. Then his eyes shifted briefly to Tiffany before returning to me. “The moment you asked me for the address of this station, I knew someone had gotten into your head. I came as fast as I could.” I almost laughed. Look at this man! Standing there like he was innocent. Who knows if he had been behind the door listening to every single word we’ve been saying? “You’re so full of shit," Tiffany muttered with a bitter chuckle. Darius ignored her completely. “Can we talk outside?” He asked me quietly. I glanced at Tiffany. Then folded my arms. “No.” “It’s important.” “What’s more important than this?” I snapped. Tiffany sighed and leaned back in her chair. “It’s fine. Mine can wait. Lord knows he hates people exposing him.” Darius clenched his jaw slightly. That alone irritated me. I walked out of the room first, my heels hitting the tiled

    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

    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
