The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 40
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

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

Alexia's POV. "So? How did it go?" I asked Nathaniel when he got back from work. I didn't ask him immediately. I did let him change out of his suit and freshen up before I started bombarding him with questions. Like I said earlier, I don't know much about half the shit he does but I am willing to listen to him and for purely selfish reasons alone. I enjoy listening to him speak. He sighed and ruffled his hair. That can't be a good thing. "What? Is it bad news? Did you not get it? I thought you said the deal was already a done thing so what went wrong? Answer me will you?" He stared at me with a blank expression for a while before a smile slowly started gracing his face. "I was just messing with you. Of course, I got the deal." He said with a giant smile and I just glared at him and attempted to walk away but he easily caught up to me and lifted me by my waist. "Don't even start you guys. Don't start." Natalia warned from where she was sitting on the couch, still watching a movi

Nathaniel's POV. It doesn't take a genius to know that Alexia was getting distant. She was trying too hard to avoid me. It was there in the way she only said two words to me when she and Natalia got back from the spa and it was there in the way she refused to have dinner with us feigning headache. She slept in her apartment that night for the first since...for the first time she slept in my bed for the first time. If that wasn't a sign that she is avoiding me then I don't know... This is one of those moments, one of those rare moments when I wish I have a friend but Nah, I don't have any. It has not always been like this, I used to have friends, we used to go partying every weekend until I didn't have one person to call a friend but...let us not go down that part. I am only concerned about Alexia. I was desperate enough to google search reasons why your girlfriend is avoiding you and it was of no help. Yes, I know she isn't my real girlfriend but I can't exactly search for a fake

Alexia's POV. Ignoring Nathaniel isn't the mature thing to do and I know that. I should probably tell him why I needed to pull away from him but how do you tell your fake boyfriend, that one person that you are not supposed to have any feelings whatsoever for that you like him? It couldn't even be more than like. It is more than liking him. I want to climb the man and have my way with him. I can't think properly when he is around so yeah, it is more than just liking him. When he asked me what was wrong with me I panicked and I just said the first thing that came to my head. I lied. I am not on my period in-fact I just had it about one or two weeks ago but he doesn't know that and it looked like he bought my lie. I hate the fact that I have been doing that a lot these days, lying I mean.Staying away from him wasn't as easy as I had hoped it would be. Sometimes I find myself wanting to speak to him so badly that my skin itched from it. It isn't fair on him for me to just become dist

Alexia's POV. Nathaniel was pissed. More than pissed even. We are on our way back home and he is yet to say one word to me. I shouldn't be bothered, after all, I have been avoiding him the whole time and he was just making it easier on me but I still didn't like the fact that he could be mad at me. That he was mad at me. "Are you mad?" I asked him with a small voice. He didn't give me any reply and just wind down the window of the car. "Nathaniel, talk to me and tell me why you are mad at me," I demanded."That is rich coming from you, Alexia." He said with a scoff. This isn't good. "I don't want to fight with you. I just want to know why you are so mad." "And you think I want to fight with you? For goodness sake, Lexi. You have been the one playing the whole avoiding game with me and now you want to talk. I have been trying to get you to talk to me but you refused and now you want to talk? Talk about what exactly? Why you have been avoiding me? Why do you recoil from my touch l

Alexia's POV."I didn't think you would be waiting," I said and stood by the pool hands folded, watching him play with the water. "You thought I was bluffing?" He asked and I nodded. "I never bluff." "Yeah, I can see that now." I tried not to let my eyes drift to his chest or even anywhere other than his face but even his face is a distraction. "Join me, will you?" He asked. I shook my head. "I don't know how to swim." "That is fine. I can teach you besides the pool is not deep. You can stand in it." He said. "No, I am not getting into that. I don't plan to stay for long I just came here to tell..." "Get in the pool, Alexia." He ordered leaving no room for argument. "But...""Just get in. We can't talk when you are standing that far away." He said. I didn't point out the fact that he could come out of the pool and we will be able to hold our conversation. Instead, I untied my kimono and dropped it. I could feel Nathaniel's eyes following my every movement like a hawk. When I

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
The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 71
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
The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 70
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
The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 69
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
