My nerves grew tighter with every passing second as the car sped toward the campus. When I stopped to think about what I had just done, I felt like I was on a dangerous roller coaster. But for someone who had slept with the boy who rejected her, faking a relationship didn't seem like such a risky venture.

A chill ran down my spine.

I couldn't blur the lines here. Miguel and I only had a one-year agreement; when our time was up, it would all be over. I had to be careful not to get too involved.

The problem was, my legs trembled every time I looked at him.

“In a few days, I'm attending a charity dinner,” he said, his eyes fixed on the road, his beauty so striking I couldn't even blink. “You will go with me and be introduced as my new girlfriend.”

“I thought we'd already skipped that part. After all, we're in the newspapers.”

“Those are just rumors, but we're going to make this official as soon as possible.”

An inevitable wave of fear washed over my body. I glanced at my reflectio

  • Date me Mr. billionaire   Chapter 29

    RobertaI was lying on the sofa with my legs relaxed when I heard a vehicle park. I got up and ran to the window and saw Miguel’s car pulling up in front of the house. My heart pounded. Surprisingly, Miguel returned, although I was already convinced I would spend another night alone in this house.I looked down and saw I was wearing the nightgown we had bought that afternoon. It differed from anything I was used to wearing and provocative, and it showed parts of my body. Startled, I hurried back to the bedroom, running down the dark corridor.I tucked myself under the covers. I heard his steps approaching and the creak of the door opening, bringing light into my dark room. Not only that, but I did not move, and Miguel did not either. Seconds later, he left, closing the door, leaving only a trail of masculine cologne lingering in the air.I jumped out of bed, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. This was the second night I slept in this house, and I had the impression that Miguel did

    “You were being cruel to him, Grandpa.” Carol stood up, her fists clenched, her voice full of indignation.Not because she cared about me or the mourning, she believed I should go through, but because the decision disrupted her plans to put Alexander in my place.“I did not ask for your opinion, Carol; I simply stated my decision.”“And if I didn’t comply with your decision, what would happen?”“I would have to choose someone else to take my place, and it could be anyone in this room.”I looked around. The faces that once seemed complacent with my pain turned into predators, ready to attack. It seemed everyone wanted my spot at the Enterprise, and I truly was surprised when I realized that.I remembered then how much Amanda had supported me and had been happy when I had been chosen to be the company’s CEO. Everyone said she was a gold digger and was with me only to pull her family out of bankruptcy, but I knew that was not true. I experienced true love in that woman’s arms.I thought

    POV MiguelI parked my car in the side garage of the house when my phone vibrated on the passenger seat. I turned off the engine and read Nataniel’s message:“Roberta is home, safe. I’m heading to dinner now.”I didn’t reply. Not only that, but I slipped the phone into my jacket pocket, stepped out of the car, and walked toward the Carrascal family mansion, ready for the inevitable and predictable family dinner dynamic.The mansion was old, passed down through four generations. I was the only one who refused to live there. To keep the tradition alive and not abandon a property worth billions, my family decided to occupy it. My mother, father, and grandfather lived there—and the place was far too big for just the three of them.I walked along the gravel path. The sound of water falling from the fountain was the only thing that blended with my quick footsteps. Cars parked beside the garden showed that everyone had already arrived.As soon as I reached the door, laughter echoed, filling

    The vehicle went silent as Nataniel drove through the city streets, the lights blurring past the windows. I studied Emília sitting in the front seat while she smiled and flirted with Nataniel as if I didn’t exist in the back seat.We first arrived at a designer store. Nataniel parked by the curb, the engine purring softly as we stepped out of the car. I didn’t want him following us, yet Emília kept smiling at him, forgetting why we were there.I moved away from the two and shot Emília a deadly glare, showing how much her behavior irritated me. She choked the moment she realized what I was doing, stepped away from Nataniel, and hurried toward me.“I’m fascinated by this man,” she said, twisting as if in a trance. “I think I’ve found the man of my life.”“Nataniel is as boring as the theses I have to write about criminal law.” Something snapped inside me. I had tolerated Emília’s flirting the entire way there, but I couldn’t take another minute. “You’re here to work, not to chat with th

    RobertaI heard whispers in the hallway leading to the bedrooms. Miguel’s deep, unmistakable voice was scolding Nathaniel, but I couldn’t make out what they were talking about.“Are you telling me Miguel was married?” Emilia whispered, staring at the framed pictures scattered around the house. “And that this woman died thirty days ago?”“I shouldn’t have told you…” I said, though I didn’t feel the slightest bit sorry. “Please don’t mention what I told him. Pretend you don’t know anything.”“You’re acting like dating him is wrong,” she said, her attention still fixed on the photographs. “The woman is dead. Miguel has every right to move on with his life.”“You don’t understand,” I sighed, annoyed—mostly because I couldn’t hear Miguel’s conversation with Nathaniel since Emilia just wouldn’t shut up. “We’d better end this talk.”Curiosity widened across Emilia’s face. She wanted to know how the woman had died and who was caring for Miguel’s newborn son. When hurried footsteps came toward

    RobertaI stammered, meaningless words on the verge of slipping from my lips. Cold sweat covered my forehead, and I had no idea how to explain this to Miguel.“This pregnancy test is mine,” Emilia’s voice broke from behind me. “I’m sorry, sir, but I thought I could take it here. Forgive me if I was being inconvenient.”Emilia brushed past me, her shoulder bumping into mine, and grabbed the test from Miguel’s hand. My face clearly gave away how terrified I was—Miguel’s eyes didn’t leave me for even a second.“Is that true, Roberta?”Was he asking for my confirmation? For what exactly? And why was I so afraid of him finding out the truth if our relationship was nothing but a lie?“Don’t worry, Mr. Miguel, I’m not pregnant.” Emilia’s eyes slid toward me. “Roberta didn’t know anything. I took the test behind her back.”I swallowed the lump in my throat. What the hell was Emilia doing? Sure, taking the test had been her idea, but until that moment, it hadn’t even crossed my mind that I cou
