Alexia's POV.

"I knew you would go back on your promise," Natalia murmured under her breath but I heard her anyway.

Nathaniel and I pulled back from our almost kiss after Natalia rudely interrupted us. He placed me down on my feet and wrapped his hand around my waist and he is yet to let go of me. I wasn't complaining though. I like it here.

"Almost, Nat." I corrected.

"What promise?" Nathaniel asked.

"It is nothing," I told him.

"She promised not to make out with you in the airport," Natalia answered. "And Good day to you too big brother. I can see that nothing else matters as long as you have your girlfriend in your arms. You didn't even notice me."

Nathaniel moved his hand away from its position on my waist and pulled his sister into a hug. I felt the absence of his hand immediately.

"You know it is not like that. Besides you were busy looking down at your phone anyway." Nathaniel said.

"I wasn't."

He shrugged. "It was worth a shot."

"Whatever. Come on let's get going. I

    Nathaniel's POV. I never thought I would ever miss someone the way I missed her. The last two weeks I spent in Singapore was hectic. I still find it hard to believe that I was able to complete all the necessary tasks within two weeks. It would have taken longer than two weeks but I knew I wouldn't be able to stay away from Alexia for more than two weeks. Even the two weeks were hell, it got worse when she said those things she said that very night. Nah, I think it got worse when she started sleeping in my bed and in my shirt too for that matter. I didn't know just how interwoven our lives have gotten until I went on that trip. It was like I could see her everywhere. Did I miss seeing her face, seeing her smile, and hearing her talk? I think I missed that the most. The way her face lights up anytime she is talking about something she is passionate about. The kiss was my undoing. I knew I wouldn't be able to stay away from her after that kiss but I still tried to play it off as an a

    Alexia's POV.Tingles. I can feel them everywhere. From my lips down to my toes. I was tingling all over and my bones...I think they were nonexistent at this point. My brain had turned to mush and the only thing I could think about was his touch. His hands were all over my body, cupping my heavy breast and touching me down there where I ached the loss. We were already as close as humanly possible but I still pulled him closer. I could feel his hard-on poking my belly. I wanted to climb him like a fucking tree. I pulled at his hair and he grunted against my lip before letting his hand slide down my back to my butt. He planted his hand firmly on my butt and started to lift me when... "You guys...oh my God. I am so fucking sorry. I swear I didn't see anything." Natalia said. I let go of Nathaniel's neck reluctantly before burying my face in his chest. This is so embarrassing. I felt Nathaniel chuckle and his whole body vibrated due to it. He tightened his hold on my waist and pulled

    Alexia's POV. "Can I read it?" I screamed and slammed my laptop shut before turning back to find Nathaniel dressed in a blue Tom Ford suit. I didn't think he had any other color of suits other than black. He had an amused smile on his face at my reaction."Can you stop sneaking up on me and scaring the shit out of me?" I asked him. He shrugged. "I just wanted to see what was more appealing than me. You were not in bed when I woke up." My heart was still beating fast because of the scare. "I just couldn't sleep with all the imaginations in my head. So I thought I should just...you know? Work." I said. "Will you let me read it?" He asked. "What? My book?" I asked him feigning confusion. "Yes, your book." "No, absolutely not. Not this one." He raised his eyebrows. "The first No would have done it." "Right. Going to work?" I asked him. I was obviously trying to change the topic. I wasn't sure if he noticed it cause he didn't point it out. I didn't want him to ask to read it agai

    Alexia's POV. "Where are we going?" I asked Liam for the millionth time. "You just can't help yourself, can you?" He asked with a laugh. He already told me to stop asking that I was a surprise but I am not calm enough for surprises. "Just tell me already," I whined. "Check the back seat." He said. I turned around in the car to check. There was a basket filled with snacks there and a glass of wine and another basket that had lunchboxes in it. "We are going on a picnic?" I asked him before sitting my ass back on the seat. He cleared his throat and nodded. "It has been a while since we went on a picnic. I thought it was a good idea to catch up and all. We can do something else if you don't like the idea." "I love the idea but I have one question." "What?" "Who made the food?" I asked him. He laughed. "My mum did.""Good," I muttered. Liam can't cook, like at all. He tried boiling water once and he managed to burn the pot, he forgot he was boiling water and well, the rest is h

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 39

    Nathaniel's POV. I was on a conference call when I got the call from one of my tenants. I didn't want to answer the call at first but then I reasoned that my tenants never call me. They know not to call me so if they are calling me then it must be urgent so I answered the call. When I heard the news my first instinct was to tell Alexia so I tried calling her number but it wasn't reachable then I tried texting her but I got no reply then I realized that if she wasn't home then she would be with one person, Liam. I called him even though I hated it. I didn't like the fact that I had to call him to reach Alexi but I did anyway. Fifteen minutes later and I was in the hospital. The last time I came here was when Alexia sprained her ankle. I walked up to the nurse that was manning the reception. "Natalia Carter. She was bought in here a while ago." The nurse flipped a few pages and then clicked something on the monitor in front of her. I honestly couldn't care less what she does. I was

    Alexia's POV. "You have got to be kidding me," I exclaimed. Of course, my mum scheduled the dinner for the next night when I told her that Nathaniel will be available but I managed to convince her to shift it since Natalia was still feeling woozy. We agreed to have dinner during the weekend and here we are, on a Saturday evening in my mother's home ready to have dinner. The problem here is that I think my mummy invited the whole neighborhood. Maybe I am exaggerating a little but does sound like she invited the whole neighborhood. We haven't even gone inside the house yet and I can hear the chaos from a mile away. "I am going to her and I won't be sorry," I muttered under my breath. "Hey, calm..." Nathaniel tried but it was already too late. I was already at the door and ready to scream the house down when someone wrapped their hands around my waist and lifted me off the ground like I weighed nothing. I didn't need to look at his face to know it was Liam, his smell gave him away

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 41

    Alexia's POV. Dinner is going well so far and cheers to hoping it remains that way. My mum was sitting at the head of the table as usual and Aunt Isabel was on her right with me and Nathaniel sitting beside her followed by Leon and Leo. Natalia somehow found herself between Louis and Lucas and I think the level of testosterone around here is already getting to her— in a good way. She won't stop giggling and tucking her hair behind her ear. Her behavior was irritating to Liam judging by his expression. "You are starting to drool, Natalia," Liam commented. He lied, her mouth was perfectly close. They have been getting along alright since her asthma attack. She wouldn't tell me what he did to get out of her bad books but I wasn't complaining. It is easier to be in their company now. Natalia shot him the stink eye. "Is it getting to you that I no longer follow you around like a lost puppy?" She asked him. I see she is never going to let him live that one down. "Why would it? I am h

    Alexia's POV."Listen to me you have to publish it, Alex. This is good stuff." Brenda tried to reason with me but I wasn't seeing her reason. We were currently at the Starbucks having coffee— what else do you do at Starbucks? She insisted on seeing me to talk about the novel I was working on, you know the one that doesn't have a name yet and I never going to be published? Yes, that one. She has been trying to convince me to publish it but I must say that she isn't succeeding. "I am not publishing the book, Brenda. It is a personal thing, something I want to keep to myself not something I want to share with the world or anyone for that matter. I only showed you because you wouldn't stop pestering me and I just had to shut you up with something.""And it worked." She said."The only issue here is the fact that you are trying to get me to publish the book and I have said it times without number that I don't want to publish it. I don't have an outline for that book and I know you are go

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Epilogue

    Alexia's POV. Three months later..."Is it done?" I asked Lara. I have lost count of the number of times I have asked her that question today. I was just nervous and excited and very eager to tell Nathaniel about the surprise. I am pregnant. Two months pregnant now. We haven't talked about kids but I am sure he wants one. Besides, we have not been careful at all so I know for sure that he will be excited to know that I am pregnant. It was supposed to be a simple dinner date with Nathaniel and I didn't plan on applying much makeup or even dressing up much but Lara showed up at our apartment— yes, I finally moved into Nathaniel's apartment, it was long overdue if you asked me— and had other ideas. She came with two different dresses, all brand new, and a new pair of heels and she insisted on doing my hair and makeup. We have been at it for hours now. "All you need to do is ask me that question one more and I will knock your head so hard that you won't be able to go for that date anym

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 72

    Nathaniel's POV.My memories came back to me like I was in a cinema. It was like hitting the play button on a movie that was placed on pause before. I could relate to every single page I turned and everything came back to me. The first time we met. When she knocked on my door and I turned away thinking she was a cookie seller. When I went back to her apartment to ask for more cookies. When she told me about her unrequited love for her best friend, Liam, and when I offered to be her pretend boyfriend to help her gain Liam's attention. I remember every single thing. Everything that happened with Cynthia when we were still young. I remember hating her beyond belief and that had me wondering why on earth I thought she was still my girlfriend? How could I forget about everything she did and remember her as my girlfriend and forget my real girlfriend in the process?I wanted to go to Alexia right away but I held myself back because I was scared and unsure of what to tell her. How will even

    Alexia's POV. "I told you it was hopeless. He obviously doesn't remember." I said throwing my hands up. Lara was with me in my apartment. Keeping me company so I won't lose my mind, according to Natalia. "You have to calm down. It is not even nighttime yet." Lara said. "He might not have opened the package or even read the book. I am sure he will remember when he reads it." Natalia said from the phone. We were on FaceTime. I have been calm the entire day, not entirely calm but I haven't been bouncing my legs so that is something. "I told his assistant to make sure that he opens the package himself," I told them. "And he will do just that. Do you want me to call him and try to see if he opened it yet?" Natalia asked. I shook my head. "No, don't do that," I said. "So you need to calm down. Watch a movie or something. Maybe eat cookies, do you have any at home?" She asked and I shook my head. I went through hell trying to edit and complete that book in just two days. Brenda was o

    Nathaniel's POV. Out of sight, out of mind. Like hell. It has been two days and I swear I still see her everywhere. Her smell follows me everywhere I go and I keep thinking about that kiss. Her taste taunts me every time I try to go to bed. I knew I made a mistake the moment I lashed out at Alexia. I knew I shouldn't have said all those things I said to her like that. I was so confused and disorientated and I didn't know what to think so I lashed out and she was the only one there to face my wrath. I shouldn't have kissed her, I know that but I don't regret doing it anyway. That was by far the best kiss of my entire life and I went ahead and messed it up by lashing out and saying those hurtful things to her. I can never forget the look on her face when I literally asked her to leave.She stayed true to her word and left the mansion before dawn could break properly. I heard her shuffling around in her room and I even watched her leave. I wanted to run to her and apologize for what I

    Alexia's POV."I am so sorry, Alex." Lara apologized for what seemed like the hundredth time today. "One more time. Just say that word one more time and I will throw you out of this house myself and I mean it, Lara." I said. She has been apologizing nonstop for leaving me alone at the club last night. She said she saw me dancing with the guy on the dance floor and I looked like I was having fun so she didn't bother to interrupt me but then I was no longer there the next time she looked and by the time she went to the restroom to look for me I was already gone. Noah later received a text from Nathaniel who explained what happened to them. She chuckled. "When will you be going back to the mansion? I can drop you off on my way home." She said. "I won't be going back." I moved out of Nathaniel's house very early this morning. I started packing up immediately I left him by the pool. There wasn't much to pack so it didn't take much time and I was done before I knew it. I wasn't sure if

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 68

    Alexia’s POV. The relief on seeing Nathaniel was instant. His eyes met mine for a brief second before he took in the guy that still had me pinned against the bathroom wall. He grabbed him by his shirt and threw him off me. My legs turned to jelly the moment the guy was off me and I ended up slipping against the wall my breast still exposed. Nathaniel made quick work of removing his shirt and helped me to put it on. The shirt was really big on me and it covered up my now ruined two-piece easily. “Are you okay?” He asked cupping my face and all I could do was nod. “What the hell man?” The guy from the dance floor said when he regained his footing. “What did you think you were doing?” Nathaniel asked him facing him. His body was wound tight and I could see smoke coming out of his head, literally. “We were going to have fun not that I need to tell you that.” The guy said with a disgusting smirk and I felt myself shudder in disgust. “She didn’t want you to touch her. I heard her scr

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 67

    Alexia's POV. It has been one week. A week since the kitchen scene. A week since Nathaniel left me sitting in the kitchen making me wonder what the fuck I did or said wrong. Everything was going alright. I couldn't sleep and I left my room to check if there was something I could munch on but I ended up spilling what was left of the cereal when Nathaniel entered the kitchen suddenly. Then he made noodles and was helping me separate the yolk from the white part and I asked him how he remembered that. He was going to tell me. He started talking and then he shut up all of sudden and left the kitchen like his dick was on fire. He has been avoiding me since that day. He doesn't stay in the same room as me even if everyone is there, he always finds an excuse to leave, it also helps that he has started going to work again. Anytime I try to talk to him he pretends as if he didn't hear me or even see me. He doesn't even spare me a glance at all and at this rate, I was willing to take his scow

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 66

    Nathaniel's POV. I was jealous. I hate to admit it but I was jealous of her faceless boyfriend called Liam— even his name sounds lame. I have no right whatsoever to be jealous of him and I know that, I know it too well but I couldn't help the jealousy I felt when she was talking to him over the phone. The conversation started out stiff at first but they eased into the conversation real fast and she had this bright smile on her face, her eyes were even twinkling and the fact that this Liam guy was the one that put that look there didn't sit well with me. I know I should not be feeling like this about another woman when I have a girlfriend of my own but Alexia just...she confuses me and there is the fact that I keep getting flashes of memories that involves her. The whole thing is messing with my head and emotions and I was starting to feel guilty towards Cynthia. That was why I switched up on Alex earlier in the restaurant—guilt. I felt guilty that I was enjoying another woman's comp
