All Chapters of The Bastard Billionaire (English Version): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aira's Point of View This is a big event in our family. The first to marry in the family and the first to build a family. Everyone is busy taking care of the guests. Two sons of big business owners are getting married, so there are too many people, and the guests are wearing grandiose clothes. Many business owners attend these gatherings because it is also a prospecting opportunity for them. This is also a declaration of the elder brother's leadership in Sister Shane's family business. Ate Shane is the only child of the de Veras, so it is certain that her brother will manage their companies. I am now at the table with Miguel, Meriam, my sister May, and Ken. No other business owners approached us because there were no businessmen among us. I introduced Miguel to them. I also found out what my brother was telling me. **FLASHBACK** "Have you seen the trending videos now?" I asked Miguel. I just rested for a while at home, then called my secretary to ask for an appointment with Migu

Aira's Point of View "Meriam! You live here? I thought you were staying at home or at your resthouse," I asked the woman in the neighboring unit. "Is that a question or an accusation?" he retorted. "I don't understand why you complain about the noise instead of soundproofing your unit," I replied. I didn't want a fight. I didn't want trouble, especially in the condo where I was staying. I didn't want to create a scene over something that had a straightforward solution. "Because I don't want to," he replied simply. Seeing that the conversation was going nowhere, I turned and went back to my unit. "Take your time with the work. Finish by 5 p.m. No late-night disturbances. Thank you," I instructed the foreman and left. "Is the room in your unit available?" I asked on the phone. While getting into my car, I called Raven. Right now, all I could think about was moving in with him while my condo was being fixed. I couldn't stay at home with Mommy, Meriam, and Daddy. Aside from the d

Miguel's Point of View I turned and saw my father standing there. It was midnight, and all the mansion lights were off except for those outside and at the guard house. "There's a lot happening in the office that you don't know about. What are you up to?" he asked before I could respond. He walked towards the light switch. Perhaps all the mansion staff were already asleep, so he was the only one to open the door. The remote must have been on the table, as he walked closer to it. Approaching me, he spoke again, "Maybe you're forgetting you're an employee in my company, not my son to act like this. You're not performing well. One more mistake, and you'll see the consequences of your negligence," he threatened, heading upstairs first. I never got a chance to reply. I went straight to my room without turning off the light he had switched on. I grabbed my laptop to check emails, proposals, and pending papers. "What? How did this happen?" I exclaimed, seeing a rejected proposal. It had

Miguel's Point of View "What happened?" I asked Cheska when I found her sitting by the sea. "It's hot here; you haven't put on sunscreen yet," I told her. She didn't respond, so I tried again. "You can confide in me about your anger, even though you're older than me. If not as a brother, then as someone you barely know," I urged her. "The tough part about being Dad's son is he expects the impossible. If I can't deliver, he'll replace me. I was young, and I could tell Dad didn't like me. There was no love, no matter what I did. It's not my fault I was born sick. No matter what medicine I take, the pain remains," she said bitterly. "I've shown Dad my school achievements, but that's not what he wants. I struggle to speak in front of people due to mild autism I've had since age one. I've undergone therapies my entire life. Progress has been slow. Mom always told me not to pressure myself, but how can I improve and make Dad proud?" she continued, tears welling up. "Everything I do to

Aira's Point of View It's early Sunday morning, and I've just finished moving my things out of the mansion. I needed to get away from Meriam and Mommy's scrutiny. I didn't want them doubting my intentions regarding the company just because Miguel is my boyfriend. Raven texted me asking where I'll be tomorrow. I replied that I'll be here at the condo. We don't have work tomorrow, so maybe he's concerned about what I'll be doing while alone. "I'm just staying here. Why?" I replied to him. "Come with us to the resort in Palawan. We'll be back Monday morning," he promptly replied. Before I could respond, another text came in. "Sis, the guard at the mansion said you left. Why did you leave at this hour? It's dangerous now. Who are you with? Who drove you? Can I pick you up tomorrow? We're going out." I read his messages one after another. "I'll see you tomorrow at Raven's condo lobby," I told him. I didn't tell him to bring clothes because we can buy them tomorrow. Ken and I are ve
