“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.

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    She’s Alive

    Arielle“No, I just want to go home,” I whispered as tears slid down my cheeks. “I can’t stand seeing his face knowing he killed her on purpose.”Darius didn’t respond immediately. He simply looked at me. He felt what I was feeling. As though he was trying to figure out how much damage had been done in the last few hours. “And now I blame myself for everything,” I continued weakly. “I shouldn’t have gone back there. I shouldn’t have returned to that house.”My voice cracked. “I feel so stupid,” a sob escaped me. "I feel really stupid.”The tears wouldn’t stop. “I don’t think I can forgive myself.”For a moment, neither of us spoke. Then suddenly, Darius reached for me and pulled me against his chest. I froze. Of all things I expected from him, this wasn’t one of them. I had cried in front of him before. I’d argued. Even hated him. But never like this. His expensive suit was probably ruined by now, but he didn’t seem to care. He simply held me there, letting me cry. He didn’t e

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    He Came Anyway

    Arielle Sylvia screamed and kept smashing the phone beneath her heels.Over and over. The sound echoed through the abandoned building like a hammer striking concrete. Pieces of plastic were scattered across the floor until Ryder finally stepped forward and grabbed her arm. She jerked away from him and looked at me. “Pray he shows up,” she said coldly. “Or consider this the last day of your life.”A shiver crawled down my spine. My breathing remained uneven as I stared back at her. At this point, I hated both of them. There was no difference. Both of them were monsters. “You had Ryder steal Darius’s phone at the club, didn’t you?” I asked bitterly. “I knew that text didn’t come from him.”Sylvia's jaw tightened. She didn’t answer. That alone was enough. I laughed humorlessly. “So it was you?”My eyes narrowed. “But why send the message to Tessa’s phone instead of mine?”The question slipped out before I could stop it. How much did they know about me? How much had they been watch

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Hostage

    Arielle Shock ripped through all of us. It felt as though the entire house had started shaking. Our hands went up instinctively. Tiffany stood in front of Tessa and me, tears already streaming down her face as she pleaded desperately.It reminded me of the day Blake tried to kill us. Only this felt worse. “Who are you?” I asked, my voice trembling. “Why are you doing this? Who sent you?” Ryder didn’t blink. The gun remained steady in his hand.“Did Darius send you?” The question slipped out before I could stop it. “Did he send you to kill me?”“I don’t work for Darius.” “Then who sent you?” Tessa demanded. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed her slowly reaching toward the knife holder. The only knife left. My heart nearly stopped. Tiffany remained directly in front of us, shielding our movements. Fortunately, Ryder didn’t seem to notice. “Was it Blake’s Aunt?” Tiffany asked shakily. Who did he plan this with? How did they get hold of Darius’s phone? Ryder ignored the que

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Gunman

    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. “What?”“I wasn’t pregnant the whole time.”Tessa looked from Tiffany’s stomach to me. I simply nodded.“So why did you lie about something like that?” She asked. Tiffany lowered her gaze and fidgeted with her fingers. She looked ashamed. Before she could answer, I spoke. “Because Blake forced her to.”Tessa stared for a moment before sighing. “Well…that’s actually a relief.”Tiffany let out a nervous laugh. “But speaking of Blake,” Tessa continued. “Is he still locked up?”“Yes.”That earned a

    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 glanc

  • 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

    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 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

She handed the letter back to me slowly. “I have no choice," I said quietly. Tiffany hesitated, still not c
