Arielle

Joel packed Darius’s things quietly, moving back and forth across the hospital room like he was on a schedule that couldn’t be disrupted. Clothes. Medications. Everything was handled with precision.

Darius didn’t look at me.

He lay flat on the bed, eyes on the ceiling, waiting patiently. Detached. Like he wasn’t there at all. For a moment, I wondered if I was dreaming. But I knew better. I would never dream about Darius, certainly not like this.

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    For My Baby

    Arielle I should’ve thought of this earlier. I should’ve thought of not escaping this hell.Because I created it. Today, I was getting married to Emris…while carrying Darius’s baby. I scoffed bitterly. A silly thought crept into my mind; if I had once dated Emris, would any of this have happened?If we had been together and eventually gone our separate ways, would my father still have brought up the idea of marrying me off to him?It was a ridiculous thing to think of that. Because my father and Emris were two different people, and even if I had dated Emris, my father could still have arranged this marriage. That arrangement benefited him, after all. I looked around my room for a moment, trying to process everything. The maids moved around me as they dressed me for the wedding, but my attention kept drifting somewhere else. Everything in the room still felt familiar. My bed was still the same size. I didn’t believe it. My pillows were still pink. Even my drawers looked exactly

    Arielle Days passed. I was still under my father’s roof. And this time, so was Darius. We barely had anything to eat, and we could hardly even look at each other without feeling the weight of everything happening around us. right now. “I still can’t believe you came here all by yourself,” I said. “What if my father had killed you that night?” I was still mad at him for putting himself in danger. “What kind of husband would I be if I left you here by yourself?” He asked. “Huh? How would I protect you or the baby?” I looked at him. Despite how exhausted he looked, his eyes softened as he studied my face. “How’s your head?” I sighed. “Better.” Silence spread between us for a moment. “Ever since you told me about the baby,” he began. “My mind still hasn’t been at peace. I was really happy knowing I was going to be a father, but at the same time, I didn't want my child to grow up knowing all of this.” My expression softened. “If it’s a boy, we’ll call him

    Arielle “Hey.”I didn’t answer Ryker. “Hey!”Still no word.“Hey, I’m talking to you!” He stopped in front of me, forcing me to look at him. “What were you saying back there?”I stared at him, unmoving. “I said a lot of things.”“You said your father killed my parents,” he said. “How did you know that?”My eyes remained fixed on him. “You don’t believe me, do—"“Answer the question, then maybe I’ll believe you,” his voice became serious. “How did you know that your father killed my parents?”I sighed heavily. “If I tell you, I’m losing my leverage.”“If you tell me, I can help you get out of here.”I snickered. “I don’t trust you.”“Just tell me how you found out, and I’ll help with whatever you need.”My jaw tightened as I looked around the hallway to make sure no one was nearby. Then I leaned closer to him. “Your brother told me everything. That was why he quit.”Ryker looked at me like he didn’t believe a word I was saying.“Okay, here’s a secret. He also told me how my father t

    Arielle I heard the iron door open loudly, and I slowly got up. “Good morning, sunshine. Your father needs you.”I looked at the person standing in front of me, and my jaw tightened. “Ryker.”Ryder once asked me if I could tell them apart. I still couldn’t because they looked so much alike. But I knew who was good.And who was evil.“Surprise,” Ryker laughed hysterically. “Arielle Hills. I don’t know if you can still remember me, but I’m the one who always picked you up from school with your mother.”I said nothing. “You were what? Nine?” He asked. “You were full of life back then. But now, all you do is live like a loser.”He shrugged. “Sorry about your grandma. She should’ve waited a little longer to see how your life would be after the wedding.”My hands tightened into fists. “What did you do to Darius?” “Removed a few of his fingernails,” he said casually. “And give him a little scar here and there, but he’ll be alright.”My chest tightened. “If you touch him again, I’ll kill

    Arielle After I told Ryder everything, he paced inside his cage for almost five minutes. I was getting angry. “Stop pacing and say something!” I snapped. “What are we going to do? They’re looking for me!”Ryder finally turned to face me. “This is big.”“I’m scared he might do to Darius and his parents if they don’t find me.”“I’m still trying to figure out who leaked those pictures. Who could do something—““Fuck the pictures, okay?!” I snapped. “I don’t care anymore. I just don’t want anything bad to happen. Especially not now.”Our eyes stayed locked for a moment. “Please…” I whispered. “Tell me you know a way to get us out of here.”He swallowed. “I’m afraid I don’t. It’ll be too hard to leave without them noticing.”“We have to try.”He rubbed his forehead. My face tightened with anger. “I’m sure you knew a day like this would come. Why don’t you have a plan already? Why are we still here, Ryder?”“It’s your father we are talking about,” he said firmly. “He’ll have my brother

    Arielle This person kept sending more pictures and even videos to both our phones. “Who is this?” I asked again, my mind racing. “Do you think this person is trying to blackmail us?”Darius sighed heavily. “I don’t think so. It must be something else.”“What—“The door opened. I thought it was Lisa, but a man walked in instead. “I knew it was a wedding ceremony. Your mother just lied to me to cover it up.”I didn’t recognize the voice. But the face—“Father?” Darius said, slowly getting up.My heart sank. I had seen that face before. It was truly Darius’s father.Darius tried to shake his hands, but his father stopped him. “Not now, son,” he raised a finger, then his eyes went straight to me. “I just came to confirm something. Is it my eyes, or does she look like Vivienne?”His father stared at me. A lump formed in my throat instantly. Vivienne. My mother. Was I getting out of this situation, or was I just getting pulled deeper into it?“Dad, come on—““What’s going on, son?” Hi
