The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Confession
Roman's POV"Nathan, come to my office right now." I said into the intercom as I swiped through my phone for 'gift ideas for a love confession' but unfortunately, I was yet to find one that was classy, and appealing enough to my tastes.I didn't want to do the traditional flowers, chocolates and a love poem, I wanted to do something unique but I was confused as to where to start from.I had never done anything like this before in my life, so everything just seemed strange and perplexing.Fuck, I couldn't believe I was about to ask my assistant for ideas about confessing my feelings to my love.Nathan sauntered in, moments later, "You called for me, sir." He said and I nodded.Fuck it, I would just ask Damien."I don't have any engagements left for today, right?" I asked, and he nodded."Yes, sir. Although the representative from H and R technology asked to meet with you tomorrow, I told her that you have a prior engagement, so you will be unavailable." He explained."Alright, then. Yo
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Panic
Sofie's POV"Are you sure you really don't want to eat anything?" Katie's chirpy voice rang into my head as I stared into space, various unbridled thoughts about my strange illness swirling within me.I feigned a smile, "Yeah, I'm sure. I had a lot to eat this morning before I left the house.""Okay then, but let me know if you want any of my chicken nuggets." She winked, putting one of the said nuggets into her mouth.The sight coupled with the mixture of various types of food aromas in the cafeteria made me want to puke my guts out, so I stealthily placed my menthol-infused handkerchief against my nostrils, to prevent further questions from Katie.I couldn't even eat breakfast today because the entire mansion especially the kitchen smelled like rotten eggs to me, I had no idea what was going on with me because it seemed the fever had gone but the nausea and testiness still remained."By the way, you look really pale and unwell, shouldn't you still be resting at home?" She asked, rai
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Whirlwind of emotions
Roman's POVI sighed to myself as I scrolled through the messages Sofie and I had exchanged moments ago. I wondered if she was really doing well like she had claimed or if she was just lying to me.I had seen how pale and weak she looked before we left home. I didn't want us to argue in Nathan's presence, so I just decided to let her go for her classes.She didn't have anything to eat for breakfast and when I tried to get her to eat something, she got mad at me and asked me if my purpose in life was to always nag her.I really didn't understand the sort of flu that Sofie had that made her so tetchy.I guessed I'd have to wait for a while before asking her out on a date lest she snapped at me.There was a knock on the door which made me set my phone aside, "Come in." I muttered, and one of my female employees walked in with a pile of paperwork in her hold."Here it is, sir. The auditing department have gone through everything. The only thing left is your signature." She said, placing t
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Trepidation
Sofie's POVI winked an eye open as I surreptitiously cocked my head sideways, to see Roman spraying his cologne all over himself.In spite of myself, especially the anxiety that has been blossoming within me since yesterday, my lips curved upward in a smile as I watched him.The handsome, grey-eyed, Italian man that stole my heart, the man who his mere existence brought great happiness to me, above all, the man who would never be mine.The last thought wiped the smile off my face as I yanked myself back to reality. I watched him grab his briefcase and turn toward me, which made me instantly flap my eyes shut.I held my breath as he walked toward the bed and crouched down in front of my face. I tried not to inhale the camwood tinged with white musk scent of his cologne as I grabbed fistfuls of the blanket.He mumbled something in Italian, I wasn't well versed in the language, so I couldn't comprehend what he had said. Then, he did something that almost made me betray my cover and jump
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée The unwanted visitor
Roman's POV"We will send a representative to you with a draft of the contract before the week runs out, you can amend it if you want before I do a final review." I spoke into the boundary microphone, and my business partners exchanged pleased glances among themselves."We will be expecting them and it was nice doing business with you once again, President Giovanni." One of them replied."Very well then. This meeting is now officially over." I declared before turning off my microphone, and handing the tablet over to Nathan did a curtsey before exiting the conference room.The business conglomerates trooped out except a middle-aged man who looked like unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. It seemed I had seen him somewhere before today, like a younger version of him but I just couldn't wrap my head around where exactly.The man walked up to me with a smile and an outstretched hand, "It's been a while, Romano. Hasn't it? You've grown up well, I know Madam Benedicta and your parents
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée The unexpected confession
Sofie's POVI wasn't angry.I wasn't infuriated either, and I definitely wasn't heartbroken nor did it feel like my heart had been ripped out of my chest, and tossed into a trashcan.Definitely not.Then, why was I bawling my eyes out like a pathetic fool? Why was I shivering with immense fury? Why did I feel like dying?I had no right to feel these things but why did it hurt so bad?The familiar scent of Roman's cologne filled the air as I heard light footsteps behind me, which made me halt my steps. With shaky hands, I wiped my tears off and continued walking while inwardly willing myself not to pay attention to him."Sofie." I heard him call and I swallowed harshly, before turning to face him with a feigned smile.I was hellbent on making him realize that I wasn't hurt by the torturous sight I had just beheld.I definitely wasn't."Yes." I said, inwardly thanking my stars as my voice came out normal and stable.I clutched my hands into fists, as I watched him walk up to me with re
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Tension
Roman’s POVThe conversation that had just transpired between Sofie and I felt surreal—in a very horrible way. I couldn't believe everything she had said. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that she was trying to figure out my own feelings for me. I mean I didn't expect her to grant me her forgiveness, and take me back with open arms when I confessed my feelings to her, but I wasn't expecting her to tell me to my face that she couldn't reciprocate my feelings either. I mean, what else was I supposed to deduce her insistence that I wasn't in love with her as? I balled my hands into fists as I trekked into my office, and saw the cause of the problem sitting comfortably on the desk like she didn't just ruin everything between Sofie and I. I didn't utter a word to her as I spoke into the intercom, "Send security in here right now. There is a nuisance in my office." Lana scoffed as she climbed down from the desk, "I'm a nuisance now, huh? But you didn't know that when you dated m
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée I’ll always be with you
Sofie's POV"Fuck, no." I cursed in frustration as a guy abruptly breezed past me, causing me to drop my wallet on the floor which made everything inside it pour out on the floor."Hey, watch where you are going." I yelled after him but he didn't even bother to look in my direction.Stupid brat, I seethed, darting his retreating back a glare before I averted my focus back to my wallet."Are you alright?" Katie asked, crouching down beside me and helping me grab my stuff from the floor."Yeah, I'm alright." I affirmed, getting up from the floor and dusting my wallet."Woah, you have a black card?" Katie gasped as I slid the plastic card into my wallet, and I just nodded in response as my thoughts strayed to Roman for the nth time that day.It had been two days since his abrupt confession and I still couldn't bring myself to look at him because something within me thought I didn't deserve to be loved at all, much less by a handsome billionaire like him.Even though I mostly replied to a

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
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Honeymoon special (part 2)
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
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Honeymoon special (part 1)
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
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Our perfect wedding
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
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée The surprise visitor
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. "I can understand because I fe
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Wedding
Roman’s POV Anxiety coursed through my bloodstream, as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. It was finally our wedding day. I was supposed to be the calm, and laid-back person between the both of us, but the panic clogging my throat begged to differ. My bowtie suddenly felt too tight for my liking while my hands felt cold yet clammy at the same time. Heaving a deep sigh to calm my tense nerves, I glanced down at the time, before sipping cold air through my teeth. We were currently in one of my bequeathed mansions in California. The wedding was going to take place at a garden nearby, which was dedicated to my parents' memory. It had also been a day since I last saw Sofie, and three hours since I last saw Ethan. Nana had mentioned something about it being bad luck if I saw my fiancée on the night before our wedding. Of course, I didn't believe in superstitions like that but I knew better than to argue with her. "You can do this, Roman. There's no need to fret over your we
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Proposal
Sofie’s POV A YEAR LATER"What do you think of this place?" Roman asked, as we strolled into a building inside The Eiffel tower.Yeah, you read it right.We were at the le jules verne restaurant, which was situated in the super-imposing, historical structure.I had graduated from college a week ago, and Roman had brought me to Paris for a vacation.It was the first time since I gave birth that I was away from Marcus, and I badly missed my son.I knew he would definitely be well looked after by his great-grandmother, and her staff, but a feeling akin to guilt still tugged at my heart.Earlier that day, Roman had even facetimed his grandmother at my request, so I could see him, but it still didn't feel enough in the slightest.I guessed that was what motherhood did to someone.You are never really at peace, if your child isn't with you."Cara mia, are you okay?" Roman asked, pulling out a chair from beneath the table.I faked a smile, "I'm alright, babe. Why do you ask?""You've been s
The Billionaire’s Pretend Fiancée Struggles and reliefs
Roman’s POV "Tell Damon Alvarez to get the required documents ready before our next meeting." I said into my phone, as I paced my study."Alright, sir. I will convey your message to his secretary immediately. Have a nice day, sir." Nathan replied, from the other end.Afterward, I ended the call.A knock came on the door, just as I was to continue reviewing the pile of documents on my desk.One of my staff walked in, and bowed. "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 The greatest gift
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
