Roman's POV

"Good day, President Giovanni." My staff greeted in unison, as I walked into the conference room.

I just nodded and took my seat at the head of the table, before they also did.

"I heard you have something important to tell me. What is it?" I asked, flipping through the pages of the business proposal on the table.

"Uhm, well sir." One of them, a short, stubby, middle-aged man began.

I raised an irritated brow, as I watched him exchange glances with his colleagues.

"I don't have the whole day. What is going on? Why are you exchanging glances with them like a trapped rat?" I asked, doing my best to suppress the ire boiling within me.

Nowadays, I easily got irritated.

And as much as I'd like to claim that it wasn't because of the unresolved issues between Sofie and I, deep down I knew it was.

The last time I spoke to her was five days ago, when we met at the restaurant, and she handed me the stupid contract termination letter, which I had burned with a lighter immediat

    Sofie's POV"Thanks." I uttered to the driver, as he helped me take out my luggages from the trunk of his taxi."No problem, ma'am." He nodded, handing me my change.I shook my head, as I waved. "No, no. Please take it."He looked shocked, before swiftly pocketing the cash. "Thanks a lot, ma'am. I really appreciate it. I hope you have a safe and hitch free flight.""I hope so too." I muttered, more to myself than to him.I was finally leaving America but I still didn't feel eager to leave.Amy and I had gotten into an argument earlier that morning, she had vowed to cut me off for good if I continued with my 'stupid display of foolishness," and in my anger, I had asked her to do so.She had stormed out of our apartment before I left to heaven knows where.I heaved a deep sigh of despondence, as I trekked into the airport while dragging my luggage along.My eyes roamed around the waiting area as I walked in further.The airport was strangely scanty.Most of the seats in the waiting area

    Roman’s POV Smirking against Sofie's lips, I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulled her closer to me, and easily slid my tongue into the warmness of her mouth.I basked in the harmonious melody of our heartbeats uniting, and beating as one, as our tongues moved in a satisfying rhythm.An uproar of cheers reverberated across the airport, with more cameras flashing on us as we passionately kissed, without making any attempt to let go of each other anytime soon.Sofie moaned into my mouth, as I bit on her lower lip before breaking the kiss.We bopped foreheads, as we shared a meaningful gaze with each other, and smiled."I love you too, cuore mio. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. And now you've given me another gift." I whispered, caressing her abdomen."Roman." She muttered."I was stupid to have said stuff like that to you. We both know that it takes two to make a baby. I should have at least be nicer with my choice of words. I'm sorry, cara. Please forgive me, and g

    Sofie’s POV My gown was the first thing Roman yanked off my body, as he set me against the wall of the master bedroom."You have no idea how crazy I am right now. I just want to rip your clothes into shreds, and so all sorts of things to you." He gritted out, against my ear before nipping at my ear lobe."Then do it. I've also been waiting for this moment forever." I moaned, sliding his shirt off him.My hand came around his back, as he ripped my panties off before proceeding to do the same to my bra.I gasped in sensual ecstasy as he fondled with my boobs with one hand, and attached his lips to the other while his second hand firmly held me against the wall.I splayed my hands on his muscled abdominal muscles, and grinned in sex-addled craze as I darted him a lascivious stare."As hard as a washboard." I muttered, and he chuckled.Just like I expected, the dark, rich timbre of his chuckle only made my pussy wetter.I was totally caught off guard when he suddenly circled two of his f

    Roman’s POV "This is nice." I muttered to myself, as my eyes roamed around the splendid view I got from standing at the balcony of the penthouse.I knew I had to increase Nathan's bonus one of these days, because he had really outdone himself by introducing me to an expert real estate agent."What are you doing there?" Sofie's voice wafted into my ears from behind, and I spun around to face her.My lips quirked up in a smile when she darted me a coy smile.She looked ethereal, like a vision of sinful yet innocent beauty in nothing but my shirt, which was baggy, but in a cute way on her.Her hair was disheveled, and a cluster of dark red blotches trailed down her neck. Seeing them caused my smile to widen, as I remembered holding her up by her hair, as I pounded into her at the crack of dawn."I'm admiring nature." I said, watching her trek up to me."That's nice." She mumbled, looping her arms around my neck.I hooked my hands around her waist. "It sure is. Everything is nice."In re

    Sofie’s POV "Are you sure you have everything with you? Have you checked your bag properly? We don't want you forgetting anything important." Roman said, as we walked to the garage. I huffed, as I zipped my bag close. "Yes, Roman. I have. This is the fifth time I'm rechecking my bag now." Today was my appointment date, and initially, I had thought I was going to be the more nervous between the both of us. But Roman had proven me wrong with how paranoid, and jumpy he had been since the day began. It was the first time he was following me to an appointment, since he was discharged from the hospital, five weeks ago. Wrapping an arm around my waist, he gazed down at me, and said. "I guess I'm just being paranoid over this appointment. The last time I felt like this was when I had to take college entrance examination." My face dissolved in a soft smile, before I tiptoed to pull him into a warm hug. "You'll be fine," I muttered. "It's just an examination to ascertain our baby's

"Lunch is ready, sir. Would you like me to bring your meal here?"I shook my head in negation, as I set the documents aside, and made for the door."Where is Sofie?" I asked, as I made my way to the dining room."Ma'am Sofie is waiting downstairs, sir."I just hummed in response, as I ambled down the flight of stairs.My lips automatically gave way for a wide grin, on seeing Sofie.She was already sat at this dining table, and was leisurely refolding the napkins."Have you been waiting too long, cara mia?" I asked, pressing a kiss to her forehead, before crouch

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée    Epilogue (Epiphany)

    Roman's POV "Happy birthday, Nonna." I beamed up at my grandmother, as I watched her waddle downstairs with the aid of her walking stick. Today was her ninetieth birthday, and it also coincided with the wedding anniversary of my late parents. We had decided to celebrate in a big way to mark the successful completion of Nana's chemotherapy treatment after three whole years, and also the miraculous stoppage of the cancer metastasis. If someone had told twenty five year old me that I'd eventually learn to stop avoiding any event related to my parents, I'd have scoffed at them. I had also gotten the courage to visit my parents' graves a week ago, for the first time since I became an adult. The last time I visited them was more than a decade ago; on the day before I was to travel to boarding school in London. Back then, Nana had told me that I needed their blessing before taking any big step in life. But somehow, I had managed to put off visiting them before Sofie and I got married

    Sofie's POVMy erect nipples were instantly in his face, begging for his touch, and sensual ministrations.He scooped up my boobs with a powerful hand, fondled them like stress balls, before capturing a nipple in his mouth while swiftly sliding the lingerie down my feet.Withdrawing from the kiss, he littered kisses down my stomach, along my stretch marks, and the thin, jagged surgical scar at the center specifically."Thank you." He whispered, gazing up at me.Forking my hands through his tendrils of dark hair, I beamed at him. "You're welcome."Then, he reached downward to my throbbing garden of horniness, and placed a thumb against my quivering entrance which yearned for nothing more than his cock."You're so beautiful everywhere." He whispered again before pressing a kiss to my core.Slowly and meticulously, he pried my folds apart, lapped at them like an ice cream cone before sliding his tongue inside me.Roman knew every part of me like the back of his palm; he knew my core, he

    Sofie's POVI took a deep breath as I stared at my reflection in the mirror."What is going on in there, Sofie? Do you need my help?" Roman's voice wafted in from the other room.After inhaling shakily for the umpteenth time, I answered, "N-No. I'm fine. I'll be out in a few.""Alright.""Yes." I whispered to myself, as I ran my hands over my body.Over the black one-piece lingerie I had on to be exact.I had no idea what sort of spirit had possessed me to bring the wanton piece of clothing on our honeymoon.We were currently honeymooning at a private resort on a secluded island in Santorini. Regret and uncertainty filled me as I glanced at the stretch marks at the sides of my stomach.I looked so ugly and fat in the lingerie.Although I had worked hard, and literally spent up to six months in the gym after I gave birth, my body had still not gone back to what it used to look like prior to me getting pregnantAnd that made it hard for me to feel comfortable naked, whenever Roman and

    Roman's POV"They are here." Damien whispered into my ear, and I instantly whipped my head around so fast, I almost dislocated my neck.We were both standing at the altar, waiting for my beautiful bride to arrive."It's happening." I said, and he squeezed my shoulder in reassurance."And it will be fine. Everything will go well." He said, his voice tinged with conviction."I hope so." "Let me go get her. I'll be right back with your wife in a few." He winked, and clapped my shoulder before trekking out of the garden.My eyes met with Nana's elated ones, and she darted me a smile as she gently stroked her chest, as if to calm my livid nerves."You'll be fine, figlio." She mouthed, and I nodded, mirroring her smile.My heart hammered against my chest in a mix of nervousness, and excitement as the bridal entrance song played, and the onlookers stood up to watch Sofie enter the venue.Ethan was the first to waddle in which drew out loud cheers and laughters from the guests, as they all a

    Sofie's POV "Are you done?" I asked the make-up artist as she began to put the beauty supplies away."Yes, Ma'am." She nodded, to which I sighed in relief before staring at my reflection in the vanity mirror.The realization that today was the day Roman and I would legally become one forever, felt real at that moment, and it caused tears to pool in my eyes.I sighed, and managed to blink my tears away before it smeared the make-up artist's hard work.I had no idea why I was crying on such a beautiful day."Oh, babe." Amy's voice wafted into my ears before I felt her hands on my shoulder. "Tears of joy, huh?"She was my matron of honor, just like how I had been her maid of honor at her own wedding.Amy had gotten married to Damien three months ago, after they had both dated for a year, in an intimate ceremony which had just their family, and close friends in attendance.Sniffling, I managed to nod in affirmation.Amy just smiled at me through the mirror.
