The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife The Contract Trap; Cornered By Power
Arielle I didn’t know what floor we were heading to. All I knew was that we kept going up. The numbers on the elevator screen kept changing, climbing higher and higher. Each soft DING made my heart beat faster than the last. I stood quietly behind her, my hands clasped together to stop them from shaking. I was genuinely scared. But I couldn’t afford to show it. Not now. I couldn’t mess this up for Darius. Because if I did, he wouldn’t forgive me. That scared me more than anything. I didn’t know what I was supposed to say when I got there. How to act. How to sit. How to even breathe properly. No heads-up. Just “Show up.”Maybe Darius was going to handle everything. Maybe I just had to sit there and exist. Honestly–I had no fucking idea. The elevator finally stopped. The doors slid open smoothly, revealing another level of luxury that made my chest tighten. The secretary stepped out first. I followed. My heels clicked sharply against the polished marble floors, the sound echo
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife The Meeting He Prepared For Me
Arielle “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. To be finally free of my debt. I stepped out quickly, barely drying my body before throwing on the third dress I bought the day before. Tessa stood behind me, brushing through my hair gently. She didn’t say much, but I could feel her hesitation every moment. She didn’t want me to go. Not after everything. She didn’t like him at all. “He’s playing games again,” she muttered under her breath. Maybe she was right. But what choice did I have? I mean– What was worse than being humiliated in publi
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Thirty Minutes Notice
Arielle Tessa's eyes shifted toward Summer the moment she appeared at the doorway. I froze completely. My fingers tightened slightly against the edge of the chair as my gaze locked onto Summer. Not even a single thought formed in my head. Summer didn’t say anything at first. She just walked in quietly, like she hadn’t just walked into tension thick enough to choke on. Her presence alone shifted the atmosphere. After what happened at Tiffany’s place that evening, I became quite afraid of her. Tessa and I followed her movements with our eyes as she walked past us…straight into her room. Then–silence. I exhaled. “She doesn’t want me here,” I muttered, my voice low, but certain. “I can see it in her eyes.” Tessa didn’t respond. That alone told me she was thinking the same thing. “I should just go to Darius’s house,” I added quietly, my fingers curling into my palm. “No. You can’t.” Her response was immediate and firm. I turned slightly. “When am I no
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife Living With Summer
Arielle “What do you think Darius would do…after you left him for her?” Tessa asked suddenly. I exhaled slowly. Trying to think like Darius was like trying to read a language I didn’t understand. Unpredictable. But then I tried. Nothing came. Not like him. As someone who had been on the receiving end of his anger. “He’ll deal with me first,” I said steadily. “Then he’ll deal with her.” Tessa frowned. “What do you mean?”I hesitated for a second. “Before you left…he said he was going to meet her manager. Make sure she gets fired.”Tessa blinked. “Wait. What?” But I didn’t answer. I had already turned and walked inside. She followed closely behind me.Tiffany was in the living room, sitting comfortably, legs crossed. A bowl of popcorn in her hands as she laughed at something on TV, as if nothing had happened. Like I didn’t exist. That alone. It broke something in me. I just walked straight to my room and started packing. Fast. Anything my hands could grab. “What are you doi
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife The Moment I Broke
Arielle Darius’s words weren’t just bold. They carried authority. His grip tightened around my wrist firmly. His expression didn’t change, but his eyes… He was dead serious. My chest rose and fell unevenly as I turned to Tessa, my body trembling slightly. I couldn’t even find my voice. “Let her go–“ Tessa tried Tessa tried to pull me back, but Darius didn't budge. “I said she’s not going anywhere!” His tone cut through the air like a blade. Tessa stepped forward, anger flashing across her face as she forcefully pried my hand from his grip. “Who do you think you are?”“I’m the only person who can change her life,” Darius replied calmly. “Not you. Not the thief you call your friend. Nobody!”That word. Thief. Tessa froze for a second, then stepped back, breathing unevenly. And me? I just stood there. “What have I done…” I whispered under my breath. “You’re so full of shit.” Tessa snapped. Darius’s head tilted slightly. “Excuse me?”“I said–you’re full of shit.”That did it.
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife She’s Not Going Anywhere
Arielle Tiffany’s text came in right after her missed call. “WHERE ARE YOU? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KEYS?”Oh God…the key!How could I have forgotten something so important? She couldn’t get into the house without it. Worry stirred deep in my stomach. And the crazy part? She had been gone for a whole day, no explanation or call. And yet, here I was still worried about her. Still trying to fix things for her. Even after everything. “I’m waiting,” Darius said lazily, leaning back in his chair with a smirk that made my skin crawl. I looked up. Then turned to Tessa, whispering in her ear. “I need to give these keys to Tiffany. She’s at home.”Darius hummed loud enough to let us know he heard every word. “Okay. I’ll go,” Tessa said, already taking the keys from me. She stood up and faced him. “I’ll be back soon.”“Don’t be back at all,” he muttered. Tessa didn’t respond. She just walked out. The door clicked shut behind her. Then silence. A heavy and suffocating silence. Darius leane
The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife A Slim Chance
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

Arielle Darius's eyes stayed on me, unblinking, as if he was waiting for something to fall from my lips. The silence between us stretched, thick and heavy, broken by only the hum of the engine and the faint rush of the wind against the windows. I folded my hands in my lap, staring s

Arielle “Who’s Emris?” He asked suddenly, eyes fixed on the road. I glanced at him. “What?” “I heard Tessa mention some guy named Emris,” he said, gripping the steering wheel. “Care to tell me who that is?” “No. Why?” “No?” “Let me worry about that.”
