The Billionaire’s Naive Mistress Chapter 42
In a black designer shirt and jeans, with his masculine beauty enhanced by stubble, Alejandro looked mean, moody and magnificent. Her heartbeat speeded up. He threw himself down on the bed beside her and tapped the paper she had cast down. ‘So, you’re reading about Adrian Fernandez ...’He was so wicked and yet he never went to prison for his crimes—’‘But he died in exile, alone and sick and despised.’Selena blinked because she wasn’t accustomed to Alejandro showing a more sensitive side unless he could make a joke of it. ‘There is that...’ Glancing back at the article, she pulled a face. ‘He was very good-looking when he was young, which is deeply creepy. Did you know he was originally from Miami?’Alejandro scrunched up the newspaper and thrust it clumsily off the bed.‘What on earth—?’ Selena began.He reached up and hauled her down to him, kissing her breathless with a hunger that could have burned out a bonfire. ‘I need you,’ he confided hoarsely. ‘I really need you with me ton

Selena thought that such knowledge must have been a very frightening burden for a little boy to carry around with him. Introduced to that culture of secrecy and fear at a very young age, it was hardly surprising that he had matured into so reserved a character.‘Perez is not the name I was born with,’ Alejandro continued. ‘In fact my mother changed our surname a couple of times after she came to London because she was afraid of being traced. She was running away from her heritage and I’ve spent my life denying it,’ Alejandro admitted harshly.‘What heritage?’‘My mother was Adrian Fernandez ’s daughter and my father was the son of another crime family.’It took Selena thirty seconds to work out what he was telling her and if she was aghast, it was not for the reasons he had expected. ‘My word, that old man who died this week was your grandfather and yet you didn’t trust me enough to tell me that. No wonder you were upset last night!’‘No my dear ! I wasn’t upset!’ Alejandro launched a

Gazing wonderingly down at her serene face, Alejandro was more than ever determined to take the story of his own involvement in her father’s downfall to the grave with him. Not for one moment had she considered holding his ancestry against him. In addition, her inspired suggestion was the simple solution and the most appropriate to his predicament. His very highly paid PR consultants would not have dreamt of proposing that he give away that much money. But he didn’t want it and putting that massive legacy to humanitarian use was the only way of acknowledging his unfortunate connections, while at the same time detaching himself from that taint.Long brown fingers framed her cheekbone and his glinting golden gaze was openly approving. ‘You’re a very special woman, my lady.’‘Sometimes you take stuff too seriously. Rise above it all,’ she urged. ‘Remember that your mother rejected her family so that she could bring you up to lead a law- abiding life. Be proud that you’ve honoured that.’

Releasing his breath on a hiss, he swung back toher. ‘It was my belief that your father stole my mother’s money and left her destitute—’‘No...that’s not what’s at issue here. You don’t try and muddy the water with excuses. Did you deliberately target him?’‘Yes. I had him investigated and it was obvious that he was spending much more than he was earning. I took over Vento and sent in the auditors. That’s all it took to uncover his embezzlement.’She swallowed thickly. ‘What about me?’‘You...’ Alejandro echoed hoarsely. ‘I can’t explain you. I saw you and it was like being hit with a sledgehammer. I would have done anything to make you mine. I swear that I didn’t know you were his daughter until you came to the office to plead for him—’‘It gave you a kick, didn’t it?’ she condemned in disgust. ‘When did you realise that it wasn’t him you were hurting, it was me?’ Selena asked with tears in her eyes.‘Do you think I’m proud of it? Do you think I’m so stupid I didn’t realise that I w

Alejandro came to a halt ten feet away. His brilliant dark eyes roved over her in a hungry, all-encompassing appraisal, but there was a combative edge to his stance. ‘I’m not leaving without you,’ he intoned with cool resolve, ‘but first you have to listen to what I need to say.’Her mood had taken wings at that first declaration; however, she had too much pride to show the fact. ‘You didn’t have much to say when I left Miami last week.’‘I thought I deserved it. I was ashamed. I didn’t know what to say to you.’Her worried eyes brightened.Alejandro looked unusually pensive. ‘Adrian made a fool of me and who likes to admit that? I knew next to nothing about my mother. I only had a few memories.My enquiries met a brick wall and then I was invited to meet Adrian and fill in the blanks.’‘So, of course, you went.’‘I took the bait. I was so arrogant, so sure I was incorruptible, but I was wrong,’ Alejandro admitted stonily and quietly. ‘The old man reeled me in like a fish. He wound me

Alejandro strode forward and caught both her hands in his. His Intense eyes claimed hers in a look as possessive and urgent as his hold. ‘I can’t sleep at night without you. When you left Miami I thought my life was over. I’ve been in love with you for weeks and weeks without realising it... I really need you to be with me...forever. ‘Overwhelmed, Selena nodded several times and squeezed his fingers and whispered fervently, ‘I love you too...’‘What about Bryan ?’ Angelo enquired with forced lightness of tone.‘I think I was just really scared of falling in love,’ she confessed with an embarrassed grimace. ‘It wrecked my mother’s life, and Dad has a dreadful track record. Perhaps believing that I still loved Bryan when I couldn’t have him made me feel safe—’‘So, you’re over him?’ Alejandro checked, not quite sure what he was being told, but hauling her up against his hard, muscular length just the same. ‘Like, totally over him?’‘I love him as a friend... You know, I never did fancy

The Billionaire’s Naive Mistress Chapter 1
Alejandro Perez climbed out of his Lamborghini , a heavy- duty vehicle armoured with reinforced panels and bulletproof glass, built to withstand a bomb explosion. The heat outside was relentless. His sunglasses protected his beautiful eyes from the bright Venezuelan sunlight, he ignored the constant complaints of the English assistant sent to greet him at the airport. While he understood the man’s tension he was also irritated by it.Alejandro had not experienced an easy childhood . He had known loathing, rage and bitterness, but fear no longer had the power to hold him. His relentless rise to power and influence had featured in hundreds of magazines and newspaper features, but his birth and childhood had always been a secret to the public. When he was eighteen he had been told the truth about his roots. Any future ambition he had died that same day when his chosen career had become a complete impossibility.
