Arielle

Come to think of it…wasn’t Lisa bothered at all that Darius chose me out of every peaceful, decent, and less violent family he could have married into?

Or maybe she hadn’t thought about it deeply enough.

That my entire life was tied to bloodshed, violence, betrayal…deadly secrets. Yet none of that seemed to matter to her.

She just kept looking at me. Studying me softly as if I was already part of her family.

The thought unsettled me.

She froze the moment I asked the ques

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Past Isn’t Over

    Arielle “You passed out an hour ago,” Dr. Liam explained. “Your heart rate increased significantly while you were unconscious.”He studied me. “Did you experience anything unusual before you lost consciousness?” Any dizziness? Nausea? Chest discomfort? Anything at all?”I hesitated. I didn’t know how to explain what happened. Not the dream, and certainly not what she said about a baby. Then Darius spoke. “For the past three days, my wife has been feeling nauseous and tired. Does that help?”“Absolutely, sir.”My eyes immediately drifted toward Darius. Why did he say that?“Well, what does it mean?” Darius asked. Dr. Liam stared at me for a moment before returning his eyes to Darius. “We’ll run a few blood tests and be back with the results soon. Then we can discuss what's going on and decide what to do next.”Blood test?“Thank you, doctor," Darius said. The doctor whispered a few more words to the nurse as they both walked out of the room. I finally turned toward Darius. “Dari

    Anna After spending about two weeks in Korea for our honeymoon, I realized life had a different version. My friends and I FaceTimed countless times while they were in Ibiza. I wasn’t sure they were even planning on coming back. Still, they deserved every bit of it. They were all doing well. Tiffany had already found a new job at her father‘s friend’s company. Joel’s planning to propose to her soon.Summer had finally reconciled with her sister. And Tessa had found a new job where she could finally put her certificate to good use. They went to restaurants and tried all kinds of foods. They visited beach clubs, went to nightlife parties, went shopping, and returned to the villa whenever they wanted. A villa I never knew Darius owned in a country like that. They sent me videos and pictures of everything. My girls were turning the city upside down. They were having the best weeks of their life.And so was I. As a matter of fact, I completely forgot who I was. I forgot I had thing

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    A Warning Fulfilled

    Arielle This was just like my dream. My smile disappeared. I couldn’t tell them apart, but I knew because Ryder was still locked up in Darius’s house.And there was no way he could’ve been here. He clearly said he wasn’t planning to show his face right now.His footsteps suddenly sounded louder than they should have. Summer’s touch made me snap out of my thoughts. “Huh?”She studied me carefully. “I couldn’t find you that’s why I came out here to look for you. I thought you left with your grandma.”I sighed heavily before nodding with a smile. “I actually wanted to. But I couldn’t because of you guys.”I glanced back. He was still there.“Are you okay?” Summer asked me. “Uhuh yeah, I’m totally fine,” I continued nodding. “Let’s go back inside.”I urged her forward. As we walked back into the house, I kept glancing over my shoulder. Over and over again. And Ryker kept walking in our direction.Panic shot through my chest. What the hell was he looking for here?How did he find me?

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    It Starts Today

    Arielle A wedding officiant stood between us as we began saying our vows. “Darius,” I began slowly. “When I first met you the night I bumped your car, I never imagined that one day I'd be standing here, promising to spend the rest of my life with you.”I smiled as I read from my note.“No matter how far I pushed myself away, I still find myself closer to you…than ever. You've loved me through my worst moments, protected me when I couldn't protect myself, and made me feel safe even when everything around me felt like it was falling apart.”I glanced at him and smiled. “You're stubborn, by the way, but you’re still a gentleman.”Everyone laughed, including Darius."You’re the man who makes me feel the most loved,” I continued softly. “You’re my everything, and I promise to love you, support you, annoy you, and choose you till death do us part."I smiled, holding back my tears."I love you, Darius. And I'm so happy I get to call you my husband."People applauded instantly as I folded m

    Arielle The moment my feet touched the ground, I heard a familiar voice. “Arielle!”I looked up. Lisa. Oh, my sweet Lisa. I smiled and hugged her instantly as she came closer. I’d missed her. “Oh, my goodness,” Lisa said sweetly as she pulled away. “Look at you!”She turned and greeted my friends warmly. My eyes softened as I looked at her. I didn’t know what to say to her.She studied my face for a moment before her smile grew wider. “Forgive me…for what I did the last time.”Tiffany, Tessa, and Summer looked at her in surprise. I guess only Tiffany knew how close I was to Lisa. “No, I'm the one who needs to apologize,” I said. “I should’ve reached out since then, but I just kept pushing away because I didn’t know how to face you. I’m sincerely sorry. You’ve been so kind to me, and you simply wanted the best for me.”My eyes began to fill with tears. “I don’t want you to ruin your makeup,” she said gently. “I understand your point. It won’t happen again. Now, let’s leave everyt

    Arielle I spent a lot of time with my grandma at the hospital the next day. I held her hand softly as she slept, waiting patiently for her to wake up. Just seeing her face helped calm me down. To be honest, I was happy that my wedding was tomorrow. Even with just the surprise Darius pulled yesterday, I was more than happyBut at the same time, I was quite scared. A wedding meant joining two people together forever, and of course, I wanted that.I wanted to be with Darius. The only problem was that I didn’t want anything bad to happen tomorrow. I didn’t want anything from my past coming back to haunt me on the most important day of my life.I just wanted us to have the best day of our lives. That was all.“Don’t worry, cheesy bun,” my grandma spoke carefully. “Nothing is going to happen. To make you feel more assured, I promise not to inform your mother…or your father.
