A crown hat.

That was the first thing I noticed.

My expressions must have been painfully awkward because I still couldn’t process what was happening. I lifted a hand and touched the hat slowly, as though I needed physical confrontation to prove that it was real. That this moment was real.

And yeah, it was.

Miss Sylvia smiled at me, almost vibrating with excitement, which stirred something in me. Warmth mixed with disbelief. I felt shaken.

I looked around.

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    Dinner Interrupted

    Arielle A new number flashed across my screen. I frowned. Who could this be?Without thinking much about it, I declined the call and slipped my phone back into my bag. When I looked up, Leo was already watching me. A smile tugged at his lips. He leaned forward, resting his elbows lightly on the table. “You know…” he said, shaking his head. “You look beautiful every single time I see you. Like…what’s going on?”I laughed softly. He sighed dramatically before blowing me an exaggerated kiss. “You’re perfect.”“Oh, my God,” I laughed harder, covering my face. “The way you make that expression gets me every time.”“I can’t help it.”“You really can’t.”We both laughed, the tension dissolving almost instantly. Before I could open up my menu again, my phone vibrated. The same number.My smile slowly faded. Leo noticed immediately, but he didn’t ask any questions. “I’m sorry,” I said, standing. “I should probably take this.”He offered an understanding smile. “Of course, go ahead.”“Th

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    A Drive Through Baltimore

    Arielle My pulse quickened. I wasn’t ready to face Summer. Not now. I didn’t even know how to explain what had happened to Tessa, especially with Leo sitting, listening to every word. “She was perfectly fine on Saturday,” Summer continued, concern evident in her voice. “Since then, she hasn’t answered any of my calls.”I swallowed hard before glancing back into the living room. Leo sat quietly on the couch, giving us privacy without making it obvious. I looked back at Summer. “I’m sorry,” I said softly. “I really have to go. I’ll explain everything later.” Before she could ask another question, I slowly closed the door. I rested my forehead against it for a few seconds and took a deep breath till my heartbeat settled. Then I forced a smile onto my face and turned around. “Sorry for keeping you waiting.”Leo smiled warmly. “It’s alright.”I nodded and walked toward the kitchen. “You have a beautiful place.”“Thank you.”I opened the refrigerator. “What would you like to drink

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    See You On Thursday

    Arielle Darius stayed silent for a moment before finally answering. “It was my mother.”My expression softened immediately. “How is she?”A faint smile appeared on his lips. “She’s fine. She wanted to speak with you.”I blinked. “Why?”“I don’t know,” he shrugged lightly. “I keep giving her excuses because…”His voice trailed off. “Yeah,” I finished quietly. The separation. Just thinking about Lisa made something warm settle in my chest. She had always been kind to me. Patient. Understanding. Everything my own mother wasn’t. I lowered my eyes and unlocked my phone, trying to push the thought away. For the first time all day, I finally had the chance to go through my missed calls and messages. The first thing that caught my attention was the number of notifications. Tessa. Several missed calls. That made sense. Then Emris. My heart skipped. Multiple texts and calls. I quickly looked away from the screen. Next was Mrs. Lilith.Even more calls. Then one particular message caug

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    A Sign To Stay

    Arielle He leaned back in his chair. “Let everything out.”A slow smile tugged at my lips. He asked for it. Fine. “You’re a piece of shit.”“I suppose I deserve that.”“You lied to me.”“I didn’t.”I laughed. The audacity. “You told me you were traveling.”“I was.”“Then why did I see you at the club two days later?” I demanded. “And why did you walk past me like I didn’t exist?”Darius took a sip of his drink before answering. “Because I saw you with someone else. I didn’t want to interrupt.”I rolled my eyes. Was he serious right now?He exhaled. “At the club, I was meeting clients. They insisted on that location.”I folded my arms. “Convenient.”“It’s the truth.”He looked entirely too pleased with himself. It irritated me. Uncomfortable silence stretched between us. Then I spoke. “What did Sylvia want?”He sighed. “Blake.”I figured. “She used you to get to me,” he said calmly. “I have her to thank for bringing us together, though. Sorry you had to go through all of that.”F

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The Conversation We Owed Each Other

    Arielle “I should go see her," I said after sitting for barely a minute. “No.”Darius's hand closed gently around my arm. “She just had surgery,” he said. “She needs rest. It’s best not to wake her.”Frustration tightened my chest. “But I need to see if she’s okay.”“I’ll handle it. You can trust me.”Trust him? After everything that had happened?Yet before I could argue, he called out a nurse. Darius looked at her. “This is my wife. She’s not feeling well. I’d like you to examine her.”My wife. That word caught me off guard. My eyes moved to him immediately. He said it so naturally, as if we weren’t standing on the ruins of a situationship that neither of us could fix. The nurse smiled politely. “Of course, sir.”Then she turned to me. “Please come with me, ma’am.”I looked between them. “Don’t I look okay?”The nurse chuckled softly. Darius didn’t. “You’ve been through enough today,” he said. “Let her check you.”Something in his voice made me pause. He wasn’t pretending lik

  • 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

    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 “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 “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

    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
