Alexia's POV.

I never imagined that I would confess my feelings over the phone—scratch that, I didn't even realize what my feelings were until Liam confronted me—and a voicemail for that matter but I couldn't help it. I needed to tell him. To reassure him. I should probably get in the car and go after him but I can't drive, not like this. Not when my mind is all over the place and my hands have been shaking like I was close to a panic attack.

If he would just return my call or even drop a text and let me know that he is doing okay. I went to the bathroom and scrubbed my shaky hands under the running water. Don't ask me why I think washing my hand will help with the shaking. After I was done washing my hand I cleaned my hands with a towel and soon realized that washing my hand wasn't going to help, not until Nathaniel returned my call or even reply my text.

Liam was long gone by now. I sent him out after Nathaniel walked in on us. I couldn't just stand the sight of him. He did promis

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 54

    Alexia's POV. A coma? Slip into a coma? I let out a humorless laugh or maybe that was a wail. I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure about anything at this point. My vision was blurry and I couldn't make out what the doctor was saying with the way blood was rushing to my ears. "Pull yourself together, Alex. Do you really want to do this here? Do you think he would be happy to see you like this?" Someone said shaking my shoulders really hard. It took a while but I was able to recognize the voice as Liam's. I pushed his hands off me and wiped off my tears angrily with the back of my palm. I pointed my finger at him. "Don't. Don't stand there and pretend like you know what he wants. Today was going like just every other day until you showed up and ruined everything..." "Are you really blaming me for this?" He asked interrupting me. "Of course I am. This is all your fault. Why did you show up? Why did you choose now to confess your feelings and ruin everything? Did you really have to do tha

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 55

    Alexia's POV. I completely lost track of time. I have been sitting right here beside a sleeping Nathaniel just staring at his pale and yet handsome face. How can someone look so sick and still manage to look handsome at the same time? Sitting here and staring at him gave me some kind of hope. That he would wake up, that he would wake up and smile at me like nothing happened.Liam left a long time ago. He said something about school stuff or shit like that, I didn't quite grab what he said. I have been sitting here all night long thinking about different scenarios. I think I have managed to imagine anything that could happen but I didn't let myself think negatively, that would just make me start crying all over again and I honestly am too spent to even cry. The nurse and the doctors have been in and out of this room checking on him every hour. I was always on alert anytime they come in trying to grab anything I could about his condition. The nurse said something about his vital signs

    Alexia's POV. "Girlfriend?" I asked with a disbelieving scoff. "Ex-girlfriend actually," Natalia said from beside me. "Who the fuck is she?" That was me. I didn't miss the fact that Ann cringed at my language but I didn't apologize. I am not the kind of person that would be so rude to someone I am meeting for the first time but the sight of this...of this doll made me uncomfortably jealous. You can't blame me. She looked so put together and I started beating myself up mentally for not listening to the nurse and go home to take a shower or something. Not even one strand of hair was out of place whereas mine looks like a bed nest and she was putting on a short skirt that barely covered her perfect-sized ass something I couldn't pull off even if I tried. She had on a crop top and she wasn't wearing a bra. I don't know how a girl would have such huge breasts and would be able to pull off wearing a crop top without a bra. "They are fake that is why they look so perfect," Natalia murmu

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 57

    Alexia's POV. Four days later and there has been no progress so far. His condition wasn't getting worse. His vital signs were still very much stable but he wasn’t showing any signs of waking up just yet. The doctor said the anesthesia has worn off already and all we have to do is wait for him to wake up. Ann and Ben are starting to lose the hope that they were so filled it when they first arrived. It was obvious that Ann was getting more worried with each passing day. Sometimes I find her sitting by Nathaniel’s bedside staring at his face and lost in her thoughts. Ben was still trying to be strong for his family but he was already losing that spark of hope that was shining brightly in his eyes when I first met him. And Natalia, I have to give it to her. She has so much faith in her brother. She doesn’t even seem fazed by it or maybe she was just very good at hiding it. The familiar sound of heels clicking on the floor filled my ears before the choking smell of perfumes filled my no

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 58

    Alexia’s POV. “You know, staring at him like that won’t make him remember you all of a sudden.” Cynthia aka Barbie doll whispered beside me. I didn’t think she was capable of whispering. I didn’t bother to spare her a glance or even give her a reply because she was right. I have been standing by the door since the doctor left and I have been staring at him, wondering why he couldn’t remember me. Is this some kind of sick joke or something? He remembers every other person but me and to top it all off he thinks Cynthia is his girlfriend. That only means that he doesn’t remember what transpired betweeen the both of them. Suddenly what the doctor said started making sense. Maybe his brain somehow suppressed all of his painful memories and that only shows how much what he saw between me and Liam broke him. I wonder how he must have felt. He must have been very hurt. Hurt enough to want to forget. There is only so much that one can take and he had to witness someone cheating on him twice

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 59

    Alexia's POV.The plan is to make Nathaniel relieve our moments together and we planned on putting them into motion the moment he gets discharged but first I needed to figure out a way to stay in the house with him without him questioning my existence. I can’t leave him alone with that blood-sucking Barbie doll— the fact that I call her all sorts of names and I don’t feel bad about it. The doctor said they had to watch Nathaniel overnight and if his condition is stable enough then he can get discharged tomorrow morning. He also said we shouldn’t push him too hard, he said something about it affecting his brain or something— this is one of those rare times that I wish I was good at science— and he might just end up not remembering ever again. Natalia and I had dinner with Lara before she left. I honestly don’t know what I have done to deserve friends like them. “Did you have dinner yet?” Ann asked when I and Natalia returned to the room. I nodded. “Yes, we did.” “Okay, we are just

  • The Billionaire’s Pretend Girlfriend    Chapter 60

    Alexia’s POV.Nathaniel is getting discharged today. The doctor said his condition is stable and he doesn’t need to stay in the hospital anymore but he can always come back if he has any complaints. He also reminded us to take the whole memory thing easy with him. Cynthia has been glued to his side the entire day. Smothering him with attention and they even kissed once, right in front of me, I had to leave the room because the green-headed monster was already rearing its head and it was seconds away from pulling Cynthia’s perfectly made hair out of her scalp. I have been playing the role of a housekeeper since last night. Natalia was having the time of her life watching me play the role and there is Ann and Ben, they have been apologizing every chance they get like they were the ones that removed me from Nathaniel’s memory. Did I mention that Nathaniel doesn’t remember staying in the apartment complex? Well, he doesn’t remember it so Ben had someone to go to his mansion and clean the

  • 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

  • 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
