The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife The Contract Trap; Cornered By Power
Arielle I didn’t know what floor we were heading to. All I knew was that we kept going up. The numbers on the elevator screen kept changing, climbing higher and higher. Each soft DING made my heart beat faster than the last. I stood quietly behind her, my hands clasped together to stop them from shaking. I was genuinely scared. But I couldn’t afford to show it. Not now. I couldn’t mess this up for Darius. Because if I did, he wouldn’t forgive me. That scared me more than anything. I didn’t know what I was supposed to say when I got there. How to act. How to sit. How to even breathe properly. No heads-up. Just “Show up.”Maybe Darius was going to handle everything. Maybe I just had to sit there and exist. Honestly–I had no fucking idea. The elevator finally stopped. The doors slid open smoothly, revealing another level of luxury that made my chest tighten. The secretary stepped out first. I followed. My heels clicked sharply against the polished marble floors, the sound echo
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife The Meeting He Prepared For Me
Arielle “I need to get dressed," I said, tapping my fingers lightly against the counter. Before Tessa could respond, I was already on my feet. Everything felt rushed, urgent. Like time itself was chasing me. I hurried into the room, grabbed a towel and stepped into the shower without thinking twice. Thirty minutes. That was all Darius gave me. And we ladies don’t even finish our hot bath in thirty minutes. Thirty minutes to show up and prove I was worth everything. To be finally free of my debt. I stepped out quickly, barely drying my body before throwing on the third dress I bought the day before. Tessa stood behind me, brushing through my hair gently. She didn’t say much, but I could feel her hesitation every moment. She didn’t want me to go. Not after everything. She didn’t like him at all. “He’s playing games again,” she muttered under her breath. Maybe she was right. But what choice did I have? I mean– What was worse than being humiliated in publi
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Thirty Minutes Notice
Arielle Tessa's eyes shifted toward Summer the moment she appeared at the doorway. I froze completely. My fingers tightened slightly against the edge of the chair as my gaze locked onto Summer. Not even a single thought formed in my head. Summer didn’t say anything at first. She just walked in quietly, like she hadn’t just walked into tension thick enough to choke on. Her presence alone shifted the atmosphere. After what happened at Tiffany’s place that evening, I became quite afraid of her. Tessa and I followed her movements with our eyes as she walked past us…straight into her room. Then–silence. I exhaled. “She doesn’t want me here,” I muttered, my voice low, but certain. “I can see it in her eyes.” Tessa didn’t respond. That alone told me she was thinking the same thing. “I should just go to Darius’s house,” I added quietly, my fingers curling into my palm. “No. You can’t.” Her response was immediate and firm. I turned slightly. “When am I no
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Living With Summer
Arielle “What do you think Darius would do…after you left him for her?” Tessa asked suddenly. I exhaled slowly. Trying to think like Darius was like trying to read a language I didn’t understand. Unpredictable. But then I tried. Nothing came. Not like him. As someone who had been on the receiving end of his anger. “He’ll deal with me first,” I said steadily. “Then he’ll deal with her.” Tessa frowned. “What do you mean?”I hesitated for a second. “Before you left…he said he was going to meet her manager. Make sure she gets fired.”Tessa blinked. “Wait. What?” But I didn’t answer. I had already turned and walked inside. She followed closely behind me.Tiffany was in the living room, sitting comfortably, legs crossed. A bowl of popcorn in her hands as she laughed at something on TV, as if nothing had happened. Like I didn’t exist. That alone. It broke something in me. I just walked straight to my room and started packing. Fast. Anything my hands could grab. “What are you doi
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife The Moment I Broke
Arielle Darius’s words weren’t just bold. They carried authority. His grip tightened around my wrist firmly. His expression didn’t change, but his eyes… He was dead serious. My chest rose and fell unevenly as I turned to Tessa, my body trembling slightly. I couldn’t even find my voice. “Let her go–“ Tessa tried Tessa tried to pull me back, but Darius didn't budge. “I said she’s not going anywhere!” His tone cut through the air like a blade. Tessa stepped forward, anger flashing across her face as she forcefully pried my hand from his grip. “Who do you think you are?”“I’m the only person who can change her life,” Darius replied calmly. “Not you. Not the thief you call your friend. Nobody!”That word. Thief. Tessa froze for a second, then stepped back, breathing unevenly. And me? I just stood there. “What have I done…” I whispered under my breath. “You’re so full of shit.” Tessa snapped. Darius’s head tilted slightly. “Excuse me?”“I said–you’re full of shit.”That did it.
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife She’s Not Going Anywhere
Arielle Tiffany’s text came in right after her missed call. “WHERE ARE YOU? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KEYS?”Oh God…the key!How could I have forgotten something so important? She couldn’t get into the house without it. Worry stirred deep in my stomach. And the crazy part? She had been gone for a whole day, no explanation or call. And yet, here I was still worried about her. Still trying to fix things for her. Even after everything. “I’m waiting,” Darius said lazily, leaning back in his chair with a smirk that made my skin crawl. I looked up. Then turned to Tessa, whispering in her ear. “I need to give these keys to Tiffany. She’s at home.”Darius hummed loud enough to let us know he heard every word. “Okay. I’ll go,” Tessa said, already taking the keys from me. She stood up and faced him. “I’ll be back soon.”“Don’t be back at all,” he muttered. Tessa didn’t respond. She just walked out. The door clicked shut behind her. Then silence. A heavy and suffocating silence. Darius leane
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Something’s Wrong
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
