"You know you don't have to be nervous right?" Nathaniel asked."I am not."I was, nervous I mean, very nervous might I add and you can tell just how nervous I was from the way I couldn't stop wringing my hands."Yeah right." He answered with a laugh and I scoffed. He removed his hand from the steering wheel and took mine in his and squeezed it."Just remember that I am right here and all you have to do is to tell me if you can't take it anymore and we will leave immediately." He said."I know," I said smiling up at him even though he wasn't looking at me again.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"This is it," Nathaniel announced when we finally got to the restaurant that Liam had reserved."I don't think I can do this," I whispered but he heard me anyway. He moved around in his seat until he was facing me then I felt his fingers on my jaw forcing me to meet his eyes."Come on no

Nathaniel's pov. It has been a week since the double date with Liam and his girlfriend and honestly, I think there is something there. Liam definitely has other feelings for Alexia, I am not just sure what his feelings were. It could be a crush or maybe something deeper. The way he looked at her when he noticed her in the restaurant still replays in my head every hour like a broken CD. No man would look at a woman like that unless likes her. And let us not forget the fact that he was jealous when Alexia asked me to order for her. He didn't even ask his girlfriend what she wanted. Maybe I was just reading too much into it. I mean they have been best friends since like forever and it might just be an uncontrollable habit to always ask her what she wanted to order. He did ask her if she wanted the usual... I don't know why the way he looked at her is bothering me but it is bothering me I mean and that is just crazy cause this is the point of the whole fake relationship

Alexia's POV. "Tada!" I have been home all day doing nothing, scratch that, I wouldn't call outlining anything. I have been busy writing an outline for my story even though I was a hundred percent sure I will end up diverting from what I have outlined. It still felt good to have an outline though. Makes me feel more organized than I am. "What are you doing here?" I asked. He placed his hand on his chest as if he was hurt. "You wound me, Lexi. Are you saying you are not happy to see your boyfriend?" He asked and I chuckled moving out of his way so he can come in. Something weird always happens to me inside whenever he calls me that."Fake boyfriend, Nathaniel." I corrected. "Same thing." He said dryly. I was supposed to tell him it wasn't the same thing but I was more interested in what he had in his hand. "What is in there?" I asked jutting my chin out. "This...it is...Uhm...dinner." He said. "Really? What did you get?" I asked but didn't w

Alexia's POV. "I am going to break that phone" I declared in my head, not out loud. I can't be the only one that hates when his or her sleep is interrupted. I don't have anything against mornings but I don't love them either especially when I get woken up by the sound of my phone ringing. I moved on my bed without opening my eyes and started patting every surface I could feel just so I could reach my phone. The only problem here is that I don't think I was on my bed. I have a really big bed, you know the ones with princess canopies and extremely soft mattresses. What I was sleeping on was anything but soft. I moved around a bit again and then I froze when I heard someone groan. Someone? There is someone here with me? In my room. I don't remember inviting Liam over and... it took me exactly three seconds for me to remember who was in the room with me. Nathaniel. I sat up so fast that I hit my head on something, probably a table. "Can you stop moving ar

Alexia's POV."This is Nathaniel when he was five. He enjoyed playing in his tiny little panties at the time." Ann said zooming in on the picture. We got along, Ann and I. We got along enough for me to forget that I was lying to her and here she was showing me embarrassing pictures of my supposed boyfriend. "Mum enjoyed wearing girl's panties for him when he was a kid. I mean he could pass as a girl." Natalia inputted. I could see that okay. It seemed like Ann wanted a daughter so badly that when her son came out as a boy, a really pretty boy at that she started playing dress-up with him. "You don't know shit, Natalia," Nathaniel grumbled. "Oh, I know a lot okay. Mum and dad always tell the story any chance they get." Natalia said with a shrug glancing at Nathaniel for a total of two seconds before going back to her phone again. She has been on it since I got here and hasn't dropped it since. "Nathaniel loved dressing as a girl too. He used to tell me

Alexia's POV."Knock knock."I let out a frustrated groan and rolled over in my bed. This is the second time in a roll that my sleep has been cut short. I think I might have done something to piss mother universe off or something like that. This particular person has been knocking for a while now. I ignored it at first and hoped that the person would take a hint and leave but Nah, he or she was persistent and I hope to God that I can stop myself from killing the person. "Knock knock."Dammit!"Just a sec," I called out and managed to drag my body out of bed. I opened the door and lo and behold, it was Natalia and she had her nose buried in her cellphone again- I wasn't even the least bit surprised. "Good morning Natalia," I grumbled even though there was nothing good about this morning considering the fact that she interrupted my sleep. "Good morning, Alex. I am so sorry for waking you but I thought Nate already informed you." She said. "Informed

Nathaniel's POV. Alexia might have taken me a little serious when I asked her to break a leg because she did break a leg. At least I think she broke her leg, I am no doctor but I know for sure that the angle in which her ankle is facing is weird as fuck and just not right. "You do know I was joking when I asked you to break a leg?" I asked her. Imagine my horror when a worried Natalia called me and started going on and on about Alexia trying to try a heel on and tripping...I honestly didn't get anything she said I figured Alexia was hurt and I left my workplace immediately. One of the many perks of owning the company. "I know that okay. I am embarrassed enough as it is don't rub it in." She answered angling her face in such a way that her hair covered her. We have been at the hospital for like thirty minutes now. They already took her to take a scan of her leg and we were waiting for the result. I sent my driver to take Natalia back home. She insisted on staying with Alexia but I

Alexia's POV.I know I should not be enjoying the fact that Liam and Nathaniel are fussing over me but I am. I know Nathaniel was just playing the role of my fake boyfriend to make Liam jealous and I was enjoying every single bit of it. I know y'all must be curious about how I broke, scratch that, sprained my ankle. Here it goes, I was trying on a pretty nude strappy heel. I have never been a heels person until the double date when Lara made me wear one. I found out that I liked the way it made me feel, in control, powerful and it was as if I was on top of the world, literally. So yeah, I wanted to buy another pair of heels. I already tried on three different heels at the time and there was no problem. No accident. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Not until Natalia thought she was done with pressing her phone and wanted to talk. We were talking and I was bending the down trying to tie the strap of the heels. Looking back now, I should have just sat down on one of the many couches in the

Alexia's POV. I knew it was just a matter of time before my editor Brenda lost her cool. She gave me a break from writing after my last two books were a hit but that break ended about two months ago. The plan was to write two more books to publish almost immediately. She said something about taking advantage of the fact that my last two books sold out fast and were still the talk of the town. I couldn't come up with anything to write though. I mean I have ideas, I have a million drafts but that is just natural. Drafts are just drafts though. I could just pick one of those million draft and start writing something right? But it wasn't as simple as it sounded. It was like I have hit a dead end. None of my drafts was appealing enough. Nah, appealing is not the word. Exciting. Thrilling enough. I didn't have that feeling yet, that feeling of rightness. None of my drafts felt right. "It doesn't have to feel right, Alexia. Just write something down." Brenda insisted. "I can't just write

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
