The Bastard Billionaire (English Version) Chapter 013
Aira's Point of View We were taken aback not by Meire's arrival but by the fact that she was with a man, especially Miguel — a surprise that hit me particularly hard, given the questions swirling in my mind. Why were they together? Why did Miguel never bid me farewell? Didn't Meire know about Miguel having a girlfriend, making her presence seem inappropriate? "Your stare is pretty obvious," Raven whispered. I blinked, diverting my gaze to the wine in front of me. "Aren't you going to do something?" he prodded. "What do you want me to do? Storm out? Confront them?" I replied sarcastically. "Why not text him?" he suggested again. "Do you think he's even looking at his phone right now?" I retorted. "What are you going to do then? Just let it go?" he asked. "As if I have any say in this," I sighed, getting up and walking away. From Miguel's constant smiles, it was clear he was enjoying himself. This was unlike him around others; usually, he couldn't even maintain eye contact, le

Aira's Point of View As expected, following my brother's request, we all remained at the mansion. Even when they left early, they returned just before dinner. I work from home, handling paperwork that needs review and signing. The store is monitored by CCTV, and we have a security guard. I hired a CCTV operator for added security. My business is expanding, so I need more employees. "Ms. Aira, lunch is ready downstairs. Your mom is already there," our companion knocked on the door. "Okay, I'll be there in a minute," I replied. I went down to the dining area, where Mom was indeed present. I adjusted my seat and started eating. "No one called me for lunch. Why?" Meriam challenged. "We don't—" "Just eat here. They don't acknowledge your presence anyway," Mom cut in. "Tsk," Meriam scolded, rolling his eyes. "How's your business, Aira? It seems like you're not working anymore, just cooped up in your room," Mom asked. "I work from home, Mom. I manage our sales and stocks. Sales ar

Miguel has been wooing me for three days. On the first day, he texted and messaged me, but I didn’t respond because I was so angry with him. How could he think that after having fun with another girl, he could come back to me so easily? He is truly awful. "Ma'am, someone sent flowers to the gate," shouted one of our house staff. "Are they for me?" I asked. "There's no name on it, but there's a card inside, and you're the only one here, so we thought..." "Look," I interrupted. "Just throw it away, please," I said, and he turned away. I heard him asking others in the house, but I ignored it and closed the door to my room. "Just one talk. Listen to me." I only know one person who wants to talk to me, and even Raven has been used by him. I can't give in because I'm still seething with anger. After all this time, why does he want to explain now? I don't want to be vulnerable anymore, even though I love him, because I know in the end I will be the only one hurt. He can do whatever he

Aira's Point of View My eyes have been rolling for a while as he talks endlessly about the things he did. "Maybe you have special training? You speak well," I cut him off. "You are the girl I know; you are ugly," he said to me. My eyes rolled again. "What's the reason why you have to pretend? Are you really an expert in pretending?" I asked him. I crossed my arms when I saw that he was about to speak. "I didn't know what to do to meet you. I also begged Raven, but even she refused me," he began. "You've been saying that for a while, and that's not what I want to hear," I said, raising my eyebrows. "Yes, Meriam likes me. From the first meeting, it was obvious that she had an agenda." --- **FLASHBACK** The first gathering was a big event with the country's top businessmen. While we were at our assigned table, various businessmen approached. Daddy accompanied Cheska to the restroom because he was worried she might get lost or encounter someone and become clumsy. Cheska was w

**Miguel's P.O.V** I was hurt, but I know she was hurt more. I didn't want to go to Meriam's brother's engagement party. I didn't think he was Aira's brother because they didn't look alike. I knew they were both Villanuevas, but I really didn't know. When I researched Aira, I found out she had a younger sister, but I didn't know it was Meriam. **FLASHBACK** "Hey, how are you? It's been a while," the person on the other line said to me. This was her first call since I texted her. I smiled because I had been waiting for her to call, even though I remembered I was taken. "How are you? What's up?" I asked. "I need to attend my brother's proposal and engagement party at the same time, but I will be sad there because I will be alone. I don't get along with my brothers, and I don't have many friends here because I just came from the U.S.," she explained. "Well, I have something to say." "Come with me, please. Then just tell me what you want to say when we meet. Exactly 5 p.m., huh? Se

Aira's Point of View Raven and I went out and went to the bar we own. We used to like to sit and just listen to the noise of the environment, but now I wanted to get drunk. I wanted to try to get drunk and forget everything that ran through my mind. Raven brought a woman with her, and she was now with us at the table. That's exactly what Raven is like—not a big girl; of course, she's beautiful and white, but most of all, she's naughty. They kept flirting in front of me, which annoyed me even more. They knew I was broken, and then they flaunted their affection in front of me. I just drank until I finished one bottle and asked the waiter for another. The two didn't stop me because they were busy with each other. They just needed to undress in front of me because they were practically holding each other. I must have had four bottles of wine when I heard some good music, so I went to the dance floor to dance. I danced along with other people who were dancing, some with their partners

R•18 Read at your own risk **Miguel's P.O.V.** "Why did you bring me here?" I asked him. "I don't want to bring you to your mansion looking like that if you don't want your mommy to cover you up again." He preached to me. "Why do you care? You've been interrupting for a while," I shouted at him. "Because you are important to me," he shouted back. "Tell me about people like you," I said, storming into the room. I lay down on the bed to rest. I didn't want to talk to him. There was no point in us discussing such things. "Get out of here," I shooed him away. He came into the room and laid down next to me. "This is my room, so I can lie down whenever I want," he yelled at me while lying down. "I wish you hadn't brought me here," I said, then stood up on his bed. "I'm going home; take care of your life," I told him. I walked to the outside of the room, heading for the door, when he pulled my hand. Due to the alcohol, I lost my balance, and he fell down as well. Now I'm lying o

Aira's Point of View "Don't make a fool of yourself, and you will drag our family down with your antics," Mommy shouted. We are all in the living room because they called a family meeting. I just arrived from Miguel's condo. Mommy shows us the video of me dancing and pictures of me partying in a bar. It turns out I'm the latest scandal online. News travels fast, especially when it's about our family. "Where is your mind, and why isn't it working?" Mommy asked again. None of the five of us speaks; this is how we are whenever we are scolded. "Aira is not young anymore, mom; what if she goes clubbing?" my sister defended me. "You're another one; you're tolerating the shame he did," Mom scolded her. "Let them go. I am sorry, mom. Did this affect the company?" I asked dad. "Nothing; there's no reason to complain about what you did," said Dad. "So? There is no problem at all," I said to mom. "I am sorry, mom, for what happened, but you have nothing to worry about," I added. "The

The Bastard Billionaire (English Version) Epilogue
**Miguel’s Point of View**I don't know if I should be happy that Aira agreed to marry me, even though we won't be getting married this year. Her parents want a grand wedding since it’s also a celebration of the merging of two major companies, the Villanueva Group of Companies and Santiago Enterprises. What can I do if that’s what they want? They also don’t want any negative comments about our wedding because of Abby’s post about our supposed wedding. That would get more attention than our actual wedding.“Don’t be sad! We’ll still get married, not now but I’m sure I’ll marry you and no one else,” Aira cheered me up.I smiled at her. “Just promise me you'll marry me and no one else, okay?” I reassured her.She raised her hand with the ring. “This is not just a simple ring. This is a promise ring. This symbolizes our promised wedding.” She kissed me, probably to stop me from worrying.Aira and I are currently at a resort in Palawan. We have the island to ourselves, so we have plenty of

**Miguel's Point of View**Aira and I were lying on my bed. She was resting her head on my arm as I gently stroked her hair. I never imagined I would feel this way again. I never thought we would reach this point in our lives again, where we could be together without worrying about other problems.Some people might say our relationship is too typical. Coming from feuding families, both products of broken homes, and both children born out of wedlock, but none of that became a hindrance. Instead, it allowed us to understand each other better."How many children do you want?" Aira asked me while looking at me.I smiled at her and thought for a moment. "I want more than four, I think. I want them to have many siblings so they won't feel lonely and will have playmates. I want them to be each other's best friends," I answered happily.She frowned, making me raise an eyebrow. "I already told you that I don't want to have many children. Besides not being sure if my womb can handle it, I don't

**Miguel's Point of View**I was happy to go home after bringing Abby to a facility. I took her child to her mom. I didn't tell Aira what was happening because I wanted to surprise her.Auntie was shocked when I arrived with Abby's child. They thought I had taken the child without permission, so they immediately went to check on her. Auntie was very thankful because, finally, her daughter came to her senses. She chose to get better and free herself and others.Even though it was a bit difficult, I was always thankful that it was finally over. Now, all I need to focus on is my dad's company. I don't know what's going on within his family. The only thing Cheska told me was the frequent fighting between Daddy and his wife, and even she doesn't know the reason.Dad prepared everything before he surrendered to the police. He also arranged to transfer his shares to my name. Cheska was also left with some shares. Dad's buildings, farms, and small businesses were divided among us. Dad left ma

**Miguel Ice's Point of View**"Finish that later, eat first," Abby said as she entered my office at her house.I didn't want to, but for my mother's peace of mind, I did what she wanted. Mama has a soft heart, especially for children who beg."I'm not hungry." Since I started living here, I couldn't even look at her. She could touch me, but I wanted to push her away, yet I couldn't because of pity.She's fine at home, attentive, and caring for her child. I used to enjoy playing with her child, who she introduced to me as "Tito-Daddy." Playing with the child made me happy, but when I married her because of her threats, their affection for me disappeared. Let's just say the child shouldn't be involved, but he's a significant reason why Mama pleaded with me."How long will you be like this? I'm your wife, but you treat me like a mere pawn!" She started arguing again.She's often like this, but I ignored her. I let her say whatever she wanted."You won't talk to me again, and then what?

**Aira Jane’s Point of View**After what happened between Miguel and me, we haven't seen each other again. I left that night while he was asleep and didn't say goodbye to Mama."What if your half-sister finds out? It'll just cause more trouble, Aira!" Raven told me. I had a headache when I arrived at work; it's tough pretending everything is okay."How would she know if no one tells her? Miguel probably won't say anything either," I replied, resting my head on the table."Oh, come on! You never learn! If you're not going to fight for Miguel, then stop giving in to your feelings. Honestly, you're being unfair.""Why me? Why am I the one being unfair? Isn't it him?" I asked her, surprised."Tsk." Raven rolled her eyes, leaving me confused about what she meant."Imagine, you just accept their explanations without expressing how you feel inside! Do you think that's right? Do you think that's not unfair to Miguel? He's fighting and doing what he can to solve the problems. While you, you ju

**Aira Jane’s Point of View**I didn't go back to the mansion. They wouldn't look for me anyway. I'll sleep here at Mama's house. She doesn't have anyone with her, and besides, we were both tired from shopping and wandering around the mall. It was already 11 PM when we got home."Sigh, this is my third day in this room, the second time I'll sleep here," I whispered to myself as I flopped onto the soft bed."Aira, dear?" Mama knocked on the door of the room. I got up, but Mama had already entered the room. "I just want to know if you're going to eat. If you are, I'll cook something for you. What do you want? Miguel is coming home, and I cooked some soup since he called drunk." I quickly sat up."Ma, can I go home?" I asked Mama."Why? Are you avoiding Miguel?" Mama's question left me speechless. I didn't know, but I couldn't be with Miguel when someone else was watching. I felt like Miguel and I were using them to deceive Abby, which I didn't want. I didn't want to use others just to b

Aira Jane’s Point of View“What time is it?” I heard Miguel ask.“It’s afternoon, almost five. How did you sleep? Are you hungry?” I asked with concern.I dozed off while watching him, but the heat made it hard to sleep again. Miguel, on the other hand, was deeply asleep; he looked exhausted. “I’m sorry if I disturbed you,” he said, asking for my forgiveness.“It’s nothing, just make sure this doesn’t happen again.” I stood up from the tent, but he stopped me. “Sit down first; let’s talk.” I looked at him and started to sit back down.“Can you go home and stay with Mom?” He surprised me with that question.“Why? Did something happen to Mom?” I asked worriedly.“Nothing happened; I’m just worried she’s alone there. I’m always at work, and when I come home, it’s usually to Abby's house. You know her, right? She always exhausts herself.”“Sounds like you.” I whispered, raising an eyebrow at him. “Alright, I’ll try to bring her to the condo. I’ll do my best.” I replied simply.“Thank you

**Aira Jane’s Point of View**“It looks like you’re in a good mood today. Have you and Miguel reconciled?” Meriam asked me with enthusiasm.I continued walking towards the dining area, ignoring her because I didn’t want any commotion to disturb my beautiful morning. I woke up feeling light, as if all my worries had vanished. I wasn’t sure if it was because I realized Miguel truly loves me and I’m still his safe haven, or if it was because I had spent almost the entire night with him.“Did you know you’re trending again? Ever since you started dating Miguel, you’ve never left social media. You’re always the topic of conversation.” She followed me while saying all this. I turned to her and replied, “You know, Meriam, after all this time we’ve been living, aren’t you used to being talked about by others? Their opinions don’t matter to me, unlike yours.” I said it sharply without even looking at her.“Really? What if the topic now is your boyfriend marrying his fling? Doesn’t that matter

**Aira’s Point of View**Three weeks later,"What did you say?" I asked Ken again. He had shared some news that I could hardly believe."Yes. My brother-in-law left the company to help his sister Cheska run their own business because their father surrendered to the police. I don't know the other reasons, but one thing is certain: my brother-in-law has left us," Ken said sadly."I can't do anything about that. If he wants to go, then let him be. It might even be good for him; he knows a lot about our company that he could use for theirs or to undermine us.""That's not how my brother-in-law is, ate. You know that!" I shrugged and walked out of the mansion.He has no gratitude. After being fully accepted by Dad, he just leaves for the person who caused our problems before. I might be trying to forget what happened, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven him. They say you can’t truly forget until you learn to forgive."Here you are again," Raven commented when she saw me in the bar."As far
