Arielle

I lost track of time. I didn’t know how long I had been unconscious or what had happened after everything went dark.

None of us knew. We just……woke up.

The first thing I felt was pain, a deep pain. The kind that lived in bones. My back throbbed relentlessly, every breath reminded me that something had gone terribly wrong.

The smell of antiseptic filled my nose. Hospital.

I opened my eyes slowly. White walls. Beeping machines. And beside me was anothe

  • 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. How was he at your pl

  • 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    A Familiar Shadow

    Arielle We got on the road exactly two minutes past six. Darius drove with one hand while the other rested casually on my thigh. I simply smiled. That small gesture alone made my stomach flutter. I was happy. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was finally getting the life I’d always wanted. Love. Support. Wealth. Peace of mind. And, soon, freedom from school. It had taken so much to get here, but somehow, I was finally content with what I had. “I’ve been watching you stare at the car,” he said, glancing at me. “Do you like it?” My eyes met his. Before I could answer, I felt myself blush and look away. “Kinda.” “I can get you something like this.” “Oh, no—,” I quickly shook my head. “I mean, I’d love that, but I don’t really need a car right now.” He chuckled. “So when do you really need one?” I shrugged and turned toward the window. “I don’t know.” A brief silence filled the car. Then Darius laughed. I couldn’t help laughing too, ev

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    A&A

    Arielle On the day of my third paper, the moment I stepped out of the building, a familiar car horn echoed through the parking lot. A smile spread across my face instantly. Darius. He had picked me up after my second paper, too, but somehow, seeing him waiting for me still made my heart race. I hurried over and slipped into the passenger seat. “So,” he said with a grin as he pulled away from the curb. “How was the exam?” “Fair enough.” He laughed. “I’ll take that as a good sign. How many do you have left?” I paused to think. “Five.” He nodded as he face the road. Instead of heading anywhere else, he drove us straight to his house. This time, the place was completely quiet. Great. Just us. The second we stepped into his room, I tossed my bag onto the floor and walked straight to him. “Come here.” I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him closer before my lips found his. He smiled into the kiss, wrapping an arm around my waist. “I was wondering

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife    The End Of The Contract

    Arielle Was I the only one who knew? Should I tell him now? They were family. He deserved to know. “Wait here,” Darius said quietly. He tapped his thigh once before disappearing into the closet room. A few minutes later, he returned, holding a familiar folder. My eyes narrowed. The contract. Both my copy and his. He stood in front of me, staring at it for a long moment. “This,” he said, lifting it slightly. “Is what joined us together.” His expression hardened. “I don’t want a contract anymore.” Before I could react, he tore the first page in half. My eyes widened. “Darius…what are you doing?” “It’s no longer relevant.” One page became two. Two became more. He tore every single sheet until nothing remained, but shredded pieces and the hard cover. Then he walked to the trash bin and dropped everything inside. My mouth fell wide open. He had destroyed the one thing that had controlled both of our lives. He turned back to me. "Everything I told you

  • 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
