The Bastard Billionaire (English Version) Chapter 050
"Have you sent it yet?" I asked Dyson over the phone. "Yes, boss. They might be scrambling now to find out who sent those documents!" he replied from the other end. "Good. He must be losing his mind right now, fearing someone knows what he's up to," I responded. I hung up and refocused on my work. "Ma'am, Mr. Santiago is requesting your availability for a meeting. What time would you prefer?" Pen, my assistant, inquired. I smiled knowingly. He was quick to figure out it was me behind everything. "Tell him 2 p.m. tomorrow," I instructed. "Dyson! I need you at 2 p.m. tomorrow," I texted Dyson, now ignoring other messages on my phone. Work matters with Pen were swiftly handled, but I avoided discussing personal issues unless absolutely necessary. After finishing at the office, I visited the store. Later that night, I planned to go to the bar—a rare chance to visit my first love after many months. Before the boutique, Raven and I had started the bar. It became popular among stude

I woke up to sunlight streaming through the window. The sun was already high; it must be noon. As I got up, I realized I wasn't in my own condo. Rolling my eyes, I remembered I was at Angela and Raven's house. He must have brought me home from the bar. Our supposed celebration had amounted to nothing. It felt like I was reliving my childhood, being cared for by Raven once again. "You're already awake. Let's eat!" Angela greeted me. I nodded, unable to speak because I still felt the lingering scent of alcohol on my breath from not brushing my teeth yet. On the small sofa in the room, I found a towel and a new toothbrush. They must have brought them in while I was asleep. Quickly attending to myself, I noticed new underwear and clothes in the cabinet, so I didn't hesitate to use them. Leaving the room, I found Angela setting the table. "Where's Raven?" I asked, scanning the room. "He's in your office; he said you have a meeting at 2 p.m., but there are papers needing your approval,

"If this isn't about business, Aira didn't expect this meeting. If you want to discuss personal matters about you or her, can I know your relationship with her?" Dyson replied smugly. I didn't interrupt because I didn't know how to intervene in their conversation. I didn't want to talk about me, especially not with him. He hasn't been a part of my life since he and his almost-mother stood us up. "I'm her ex-boyfriend," Miguel said with a furrowed brow. "Ex? So she's in the past?" Dyson asked. "I just want to know what happened." "What happened? When?" Dyson interrupted. "My child," Miguel's voice carried sadness, or maybe I expected him to be sad talking about our future child. "For what reason?" Dyson asked. Miguel didn't speak, and I was too nervous to speak. "I just want to ask where my son is. Maybe you don't need to hide from me what happened to my son. Is he or she premature, or did you abort him?" Miguel didn't finish his statement as Dyson kicked him. "You're truly wo
The Bastard Billionaire (English Version) Chapter 053
Since Aira left and Daddy announced the marriage between me and his sister, Meriam, I've become a drunkard and womanizer. Every night, I visit Aira's bar to drink and find a girl to sleep with when I'm too drunk. Maybe the alcohol warms me too. I behaved shamelessly there, hoping for mercy when he found out. But his shadow stopped appearing months ago, leaving me angrier, more annoyed, and resentful. He used to say he loved me, that we'd stay together no matter what. But after a simple fight, he left me. I shouted about the baby's safety. That night, I thought he was drinking. It was wrong to yell at him and humiliate him in his bar, and I regret my rashness. I never imagined it would be our last meeting. I thought he'd gradually return if he answered my calls, but my last call pushed him further away. I chased him at the airport but couldn't catch him. I searched his country but found nothing. I'm angry at myself and my situation. I didn't choose my parents or this fate, yet I'

Miguel's Perspective: Continuation of Chapter 53 Arriving in the province, I faced the challenge of finding Mom's farm in the vast rural landscape. The houses were scattered far apart, making it difficult to inquire. "Where can I find this farm?" I asked a local I encountered. "Why do you need to find it? Planning to buy vegetables from them? They had a big harvest today. They supply a health restaurant in Manila with fresh produce. It helps the community and supports his mom," the local replied cheerfully. "I just need to speak with him first," I replied politely. "He's up there. Let my grandson take you. It's a bit of a trek up the mountain and off the beaten path. Better to ride a motorcycle so you don't exhaust yourself," the elderly man suggested. I thanked him and hopped on his grandson's motorcycle. The rough terrain made the journey uncomfortable, my fatigue compounded by hunger and thirst—I hadn't eaten or drunk during the journey due to sleeping on the bus. "Uncle! A

Aira's Perspective: Dyson informed me that someone was secretly searching for Mom, which he suspects might involve Miguel's father. After finishing our tasks, Dyson and I hurried to where Mom was staying, concerned that her safety might be compromised if someone dangerous was looking for her. "Mom, we're here. Where are you?" I called out to Mommy Mitch. I'd been trying to reach her for a while, but there was no answer. "I'm at the farm, dear. It's quite busy with orders for vegetables and fruits. What brings you here all of a sudden?" she replied. "It's fine. We just wanted to stay here for two weeks or a month. It's too hot in Manila." "Alright then. Take care on your way up!" Mom instructed. We felt a bit relieved knowing she was safe. After a short while, we reached Mom's hut. The structure she built was beautiful, holding the best memories. "Mom! We're here!" I called out loudly. But Mom wasn't in the hut, so we assumed she must be in the garden. We noticed several tru

Miguel's Perspective: "You don't need to be upset. I understand your outburst was just a moment of emotion, but it wasn't right to exchange hurtful words with them." We're still here on the mountain, at my mother's farm. Inside, Mama and Aira were cooking and talking. I didn't mean everything I said. When I first saw them, I knew I just wanted to hug them both. Driven by hunger, fear, and lingering resentment, I let slip an inappropriate word. "When you lost your son, Aira couldn't handle it all. She almost gave up out of grief. If it wasn't for Mom by our side, she might have given up long ago. Mom gave her comfort and made her feel like a mother. They didn't forget you; they did what they thought would keep you safe. Both of them just wanted safety for the ones they love. "Perhaps fate has ordained that they reunite. Maybe this is the answer to all your prayers. Aira will find her peace, and she'll take care of your mother. Aira may not love you, but she loves your son. No, she'

Aira's Perspective: Miguel and I were in the same place, but we kept our distance from each other. Earlier, while Mom and I were preparing food, we discussed Miguel. Even though he's here, Mom is determined to send Miguel back to where he truly belongs. I also asked if Miguel knew about Mom's illness. The shock on Mom's face confirmed that he did, though she didn't deny it. I didn't feel sorry for him, but I empathized because he had to suppress his emotions in our current situation. "Can we talk?" Miguel asked as he approached me. I nodded, and he motioned for us to find a quiet spot. I noticed Dyson's watchful gaze and signaled for him to stay back. I smiled reassuringly, and he remained where he was. "I'm sorry," he began. "About what?" I asked, puzzled. Miguel scratched his head nervously. "Can I hug you?" he asked abruptly. "Huh?" I stuttered, caught off guard by his request. "I said, can I hug you?" he repeated loudly. Before I could respond, he embraced me. I hesitated

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
