Arielle

A heavy silence settled over the room. Tessa stepped forward and hugged Tiffany once more, easing the tension that had suddenly filled the house.

“Well,” she said softly as she pulled away. “We’re just happy you’re out of that hellhole.”

A small smile appeared on Tiffany’s face.

“How’s the baby kicking?”

The smile vanished. Her face turned pale.

Tessa frowned.

Tiffany hesitated before speaking.

“I lied,” she admitted quietly, touching her belly. “There’s no baby.”

Tessa blinked. “

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Truth I Wanted; The Mother I Hated

    Arielle Ryder smiled at me before leaning forward. I was so ready to finally hear the truth. “If you want to know the details,” he said slowly. “Set up a meeting with your mother. Tell her you want to speak with her.”My face remained. My mother. “How..how did you know that?” I asked, my eyes narrowing. He sighed heavily and turned toward the window, the sunlight catching the faint smile on his face. “I was there with you and Darius’s mother at Cedar’s kitchen.”My eyes widened. “You saw my mother?”He nodded. Knowing Leo’s name was definitely easy for him, so knowing Darius’s mother was way easier. His parents partnered with my father. “I also saw how you reacted when she tried to touch you.”My jaw tightened. “Go easy on her,” he added. “She’s doing her best.”I looked away. Why was he defending Vivienne? “She’s entirely different from your father.”I swallowed hard. The silence that followed felt heavier than before. Why did every answer I wanted somehow lead back to my

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    What Is Mr. Planning?

    Arielle A laugh escaped me the moment he said it. Was he nuts? His twin? “You have a twin?” Darius asked. “Yes,” Ryder replied. “He drives an X3.” My mouth fell open. “He drives an X3?” Ryder nodded. “And it wasn’t black. It was blue.” He paused before adding. “We bought them at the same time on our twenty-ninth birthday. Last week.” My eyes slowly widened. “But you look exactly alike.” “That’s usually how twins work.” I stared at him. Whoa, what the fuck? I turned toward Darius. “Don't tell me you actually believe him.” Darius said nothing, but his eyes did. “It makes so much sense, though.” He believed him. I dragged a hand through my hair in frustration and faced the window. I couldn’t believe I was standing there trying to figure out whether the man I’d seen outside my house was Ryder or his twin. “What the fuck am I even doing here?” I muttered. Darius continued questioning him, but I barely listened. It was too much to process. “I’m done

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Another Enemy; His Twin

    Arielle “Do you—no. No way.” I shook my head, refusing to believe what my mind was already telling me.“No. There is no way. That can’t be possible—““It can be possible.”My eyes stayed on Ryder as he slowly rose from his chair and walked toward the bars. “It can actually be very possible,” Ryder continued. “You have so many enemies, Arielle Chelsea Hills.”My eyes widened. I stumbled backward and nearly lost my balance. Darius immediately rushed forward and caught me before I could hit the floor. “What the fuck…” I struggled to breathe. “How did you…what’s…”The words refused to come. I quickly pulled Darius by the ear and whispered. “My father sent him.”Darius looked at me, his expression turning serious. “Are you sure?”I nodded, still trembling. Ryder had said my name exactly the way my father always did. There was no way he could know it unless he had some connection to my family. Darius held me back onto my feet before turning toward Ryder. “So Leonard sent you?”Ryder me

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Someone Who Looks Like Ryder

    Arielle “That’s impossible.” No. No way. “I saw that son of a bitch,” I explained. “I saw him standing beside a black car outside my house. He looked directly at me.” “Are you sure it was Ryder?” He pressed. That question pushed me over the edge. I jumped to my feet, throwing my hands in the air. “Why does no one believe me?” I asked, laughing through the frustration. “You of all people should believe me. You’re my boyfriend, you’re supposed to believe me.” “Babe,” he said calmly. “Sit down. Let’s try to understand this first.” I stared at him for a moment before reluctantly sitting. “Okay.” Darius closed the file on his desk and walked over to me. “I know I saw Ryder only once, but I’m very certain it was him. I wanted to have him locked up immediately in my house after I saw him. But he told me he’d come to discuss something I needed to hear. Then he said I could lock him up for all he cared for whenever he was done.” I frowned. “I still don’t understand.

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Ryder Was With Me, Not You

    Arielle When Ryder told me I was closer to him than I thought, my mind immediately began racing. That day, he had taken a picture of me. I still had no idea who the picture was for, but I was certain it wasn’t for Sylvia.He had looked at me differently the entire time. Like he knew me personally. Like he didn’t want me to get hurt. But at the time, I had been too angry to pay attention to the details. I mean, why had he chosen to save Tiffany? Why had he lied?Because he wanted Sylvia to believe he was following her orders.“Wait—hold on,” Tessa closed her eyes briefly. “You’re saying he’s here for you? Why?”My jaw tightened. “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”I had to inform Darius. Before I could say anything else, Summer suddenly opened the door. “A car’s coming.”All three of us turned toward her. My heart immediately sped up. “Who is it?” Tiffany asked. I rushed to the kitchen window. “I don’t know.”We waited as the car slowly pulled into the driveway. Relief wa

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    R Found Me

    Arielle My mind raced as his face became clearer. My heart sank. The wine slipped from my hand before I could stop it, shattering against the floor. I quickly looked back at the girls, panic rising in my chest. “Are you okay?” Tessa asked. They hurried toward me. Without thinking, I crouched down and started gathering the broken pieces as though I could somehow put the glass back together. “No, leave it,” Summer touched my shoulder. “I’ll clean it up.” That was when I finally snapped back to reality. I stared at my hands, confused by my reaction. “What happened?” Tiffany asked. She took my hand and carefully pulled me away from the broken glasses. Then it hit me. “I—I saw a guy I thought I knew outside.” “A guy?” Tessa asked, immediately looking toward the window. “Where?” “He was standing next to his car.” Tiffany looked outside while Summer crouched down to clean up the broken pieces. “I can’t see anybody.” “Me neither,” Tessa added. I frowned. “

  • 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 Everyone turned to Joel. “Uhm…” he said nervously. “Is something wrong?” Tessa asked.“Are you going to be there with us?” I asked again. Was he leading us on? I thought he was on our side. “Joel?” Tiffany called. “Uhh…no,” he said quietly. “I can’t.”“Why?” I asked. “He…uhh…fired me

    Arielle Blake. The same Blake who kidnapped her. The same Blake who tried to kill me. I wiped my eyes, seriously wishing I hadn’t seen that name. How could she still be in contact with him after everything he did? Oh dear. That must have been why she hid her phone two days ago. I wanted to c

    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
