The Bastard Billionaire (English Version) Prologue
Ice is a good son to his mother. He never gives her headaches. They may lack in other things, but his mother ensures he doesn't feel it. His entire day revolves around studying. He comes home from school, eats, takes care of himself, and then studies again. Although he wants to help his mother, she prefers otherwise. Even though he wishes to go out and play with other kids, he doesn't know anyone in their area, so he chooses to study at home for his mother's happiness. He remains a consistent top student even though they frequently move homes. On the other hand, there's a family that eats together but doesn't talk. One woman's eyes almost popped out in anger because of what they found out, while another was extremely happy. The two others there didn't care and hurriedly went to work. "That's still two weeks away, don't get too excited," said the woman who didn't care earlier. The father and son looked at each other, shrugged, and didn't say anything. "Why do we even need to prepar

**Aira Jen's P.O.V** I focused on organizing the paperwork for my boutique's next branch. There are many reasons why I started my own business; I simply didn't want to return to something that weighed heavily on my mood. "Pen, what's my next meeting after this?" I asked my secretary. "It's all set, Miss, but Ms. Raven called earlier. She wants to meet with you. Should I confirm?" my secretary added. "Don't confirm; let her be," I said with a smile. She didn't mention she was coming back to the Philippines and now wants to take up my free time. Who does she think she is? Haha, just kidding. Raven is my best friend, the one who stood by me when no one else believed in me. There used to be two of them, but one walked away without explanation. Whenever I did something wrong, I always apologized. I texted, but there was no response. Even when we met, he barely acknowledged me. Anyway, I'm Aira Jen Villanueva, owner of Jen Coords and Lady's Boutique. I don't consider myself part of t

**Miguel Ice's P.O.V** "Mom!" I called out. "Wait a minute! Here I am! No need to rush! You still have plenty of time. Besides, you'll be taking the bus there," Mom replied, slightly flustered. "It's my first job interview, Mom. I don't want to be late. And more importantly, I want to get a job so you don't have to work at the market anymore. I want to provide for both of us," I explained to her. "My son, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If the job is meant for you, it will come to you," she said, gently rubbing my face and hair. "I'm fine, Mom. I'm not a baby anymore," I reassured her. "Here's your lunch, here's your snack. If you end up staying overnight, here's extra money for dinner. Don't go hungry, alright? Call me if it's not enough or if you need anything," Mom instructed. "Yeah, I know, Mom. You've told me this seven times already. So don't worry," I replied. "And one more thing, don't stress about calling me every hour. Rest at home while I'm gone," I told her

**Aira Jen's P.O.V** "You've got plenty of time right now," Raven said as she entered my condo. Yes, ever since I left our mansion house, I've been living alone, feeling like a lost soul. No one notices me, no one talks to me. Maybe they don't even want to see me or acknowledge my presence. "I've got someone covering for me at work," I replied simply. "Why don't you go back to your mansion? Don't you miss them?" Raven asked, one question after another. "They forgot about me. Why should I remember them?" I replied, picking up my phone to check for updates. We spent the day hanging out at my condo. "Hey, Aira Jen!" Raven shouted, throwing a pillow at me. "What?" I replied irritably. "You're smiling while texting. Who's the lucky guy? Do you have a boyfriend?" she teased, approaching me. I quickly hid my phone away. "It's nothing. Don't overthink it. Just chatting with Yelo," I responded. "Yelo? Is that Ice? Who's that?" Raven asked, surprised. "He's the supervisor," I replie

**Miguel Ice's P.O.V** "Mom, who is he?" I asked as I lay in the living room, startled by the presence of a man with my mother. "I thought you were just going out to buy groceries tonight and tomorrow morning?" I inquired again. Neither of them spoke. I couldn't decipher my mother's expression; she simply stared at me. "What's going on, Mom?" I asked, feeling the man hug me while my mother began to cry. What on earth was happening? "Why is Mom crying? What's going on?" I gently released myself from the man's embrace and handed Mom a glass of water from the table. "Sit down first and calm down, Mom," I urged her. There was a long silence before Mom spoke again. "He's your father," Mom said quietly. "I know, Mom, but why is he here?" I asked, raising my voice. "Son, please calm down first. Let me explain," Mom said, trying to soothe me. "Your mom needs extensive medical treatment. I have to send her to the U.S. for her treatment to be completed. In exchange, you need to work

**Miguel's P.O.V** "You look beautiful," I thought to myself as I faced her. "Huh?" she replied, catching me off guard. "H-huh? Oh, nothing. I meant to say it's a beautiful day today. Doesn't look like it's going to rain," I said, trying to cover my embarrassment. I blurted it out in front of her, feeling awkward. It's been two weeks since I started working here at her boutique as a sales supervisor. I handle visiting suppliers, making lists, purchasing materials, and managing inventory. She's given me a thorough introduction to everything and I just need to finish a few more paperwork. She personally trained me on what I needed to know. She's kind, soft-spoken, and, above all, incredibly beautiful. Her refined appearance suggests she's from a wealthy background. Despite her social demeanor, she finds joy in simple things—like my lame jokes that seem to amuse her. "Since I've started working with you, you haven't thrown me a welcome party yet. Now would be a good time to

**Miguel's P.O.V** "Mom, please keep me updated always," I begged Mom. I couldn't call her 'Mama' anymore, as per one of my father's conditions. It's not what I want, but I have to comply. Mom and I went to the hospital for her check-up, seeking a second opinion, but the diagnosis remained unchanged. I've been pondering everything these past few days, including my work, which I've neglected. I'd give up anything for Mom. I've noticed subtle changes in her movements, so I've made the decision that's best for her. "Sir, we'll take good care of Ma'am. Mr. Martin is waiting for you at his house," the attendant said. I glanced at him grimly and hugged Mom tightly. We held that embrace for ten minutes. I didn't see Mom cry; she reminded me to be strong, that men don't cry. We laughed together, promising to face everything together after these trials. Regarding my job, I knew it was improper to resign via text message, but I couldn't bring myself to face him. Letting him think ill of me

**Miguel's P.O.V** "Your son is your heir," the board stated. "He's smart and young. I hope he exceeds how I was at his age," Daddy remarked. Since starting work here, all that's been done is constant comparison and high expectations. I've never had my own identity; they expect me to match or surpass Dad. Well, that's life. I'm always punctual. I follow Mama's instructions faithfully because she knows what Dad likes and dislikes. Mom used to be Dad's secretary. Dad was already married with a child when they met. Mom never had malicious intentions; she simply sought to support Dad during his tough times. Even though Mom never spoke of her struggles, she chose empathy over probing. "Sir Miguel, excuse me," my secretary interrupted. I have my own office and secretary now, with a salary four times higher than my first job's initial pay. "Yes?" I responded. "Your dad is asking for next month's budget plan and progress report," my secretary informed me. "I've already emailed it to

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
