The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Home Again
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 glanced at her. “I’m sorry I inter
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Walking Past Me With A Woman
Arielle My heart sank. For a second, I forgot to breathe. My gaze locked with Darius’s across the crowded club. To me, everything else disappeared. It was just him. My pulse hammered violently against my ribs. Why was he here? I thought he’d left for England. A small smile crept onto my lips before I could stop it. Then it disappeared. A woman slipped into the seat beside him and kissed his cheek. My stomach dropped. Her hand rested comfortably on his arm. And Darius never looked away from her. The warmth inside me vanished instantly. I turned around before I could think twice. Was she my replacement? Had he lied about the business trip? Had he only said he was leaving because he wanted me gone?The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I was practically shaking. I pushed through the crowd, searching for Tessa. Eventually, I found her. And immediately wished I hadn’t. She was pressed against the waiter from earlier. They were completely lost in each other. Kissin
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife One Shot Too Many
Arielle The next morning, Tessa and I spent the day cleaning the house. Saturdays were her only off days. And Sundays, thanks to Jason, were now apparently reserved for recovery. Finally, we had time to catch up on what we’ve missed. Speaking of Jason, something about last night still bothered me. I could see it in Tessa’s eyes. Even though she barely said anything about it, she didn’t seem completely happy. Something had happened.After cleaning, we settled at the dining table for breakfast. I watched her quietly as she ate. “So,” I began, stirring my juice. “When are you going to tell me why Jason left?” A small smile appeared on her lips. “The rain was the only thing keeping him here,” she said casually. “When it stopped, he left. No big deal.”I narrowed my eyes. At some point, I became worried. Tiffany used to answer questions like that. “Did he hurt you?”Tessa nearly choked on her food. Then she burst out laughing. “Now, why would he do that?”“I don’t know,” I said c
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Everything Falling Apart
Arielle “I mean—that’s why I had to distance myself,” I continued. “Do you know what I had to go through with Amber? You weren’t there when she and her friends beat me to a pulp in public.”Emris’s jaw tightened.“I already explained why Amber and I started dating in the first place,” he said. “And when she came to your apartment that day, she apologized.”I stared at him in disbelief. “You call that an apology?” “Arielle—““No, seriously. You call that an apology?” I snapped. “The moment she showed up, you turned into the perfect boyfriend. You couldn’t even repeat the things you’d told me when she wasn’t around.”His expression hardened. For a moment, none of us spoke. Then he looked away. I took a slow breath and stepped back. “No. I’m not doing this with you.” I turned and headed for the door. “Arielle.”I ignored him. “Arielle, wait.”I walked faster. By the time I reached the staircase, my heart was pounding. I hurried downstairs, weaving through groups of students and lo
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Years Too Late
Arielle Emris led me upstairs to a quieter part of the house. Unfortunately, the room he took me to was his bedroom. I paused near the doorway and looked around. Wow. His parents really adored him. Several expensive paintings decorated the walls. A massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooked the city, lights glowing beautifully against the dark evening sky. There was a large wardrobe, a gaming setup, and, surprisingly, a small bar tucked into one corner of the room. Everything screamed luxury. “I want you to feel at home,” Emris said as he poured two glasses of wine. He walked toward me and offered one. I shook my head. “No, thanks.”“It’s just wine.”“I already had juice downstairs.”He smiled faintly. “One glass won’t hurt.”“I’m fine, really.” I offered an apologetic smile. “I just wanted somewhere quiet away from all the attention.”His shoulders relaxed. “Fair enough.”Without another word, he drank both glasses. I sat carefully on the edge of his bed. The mattress was ri
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife A Night Of Rumors
Arielle I found the restroom easily. And thankfully, no one was inside. I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection. Honestly?I was exhausted emotionally. I thought this party was going to help me keep Darius out of my head, but no. It didn’t.I was tired of the confusion and the uncertainty. A few days ago, I thought my biggest problem was surviving Darius Rothwell. Now he was gone, and somehow things felt worse. It felt like something was missing. My heart insisted it was Darius, but my brain refused to accept it. How could I miss him after everything he had done? How could I be falling for him after only a few weeks?I exhaled slowly and looked away from the mirror. Two ladies walked into the restroom. Their eyes lingered till they disappeared into one of the stalls. Seconds later, they left. That naturally felt awkward. I washed my hands afterwards, then turned off the faucet and reached for a paper towel. That was when I heard people talking outside. “Wh
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Almost Home
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

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
