Alexa's POV

After shopping for hours, forcing myself to plaster a smile on my face for those hours, we drive down to the restaurant.

We passed by the restaurant on our way from the hotel we were lodged in. The interior is beautiful. It has tall glass windows that overlook the ocean taking my breath away.

I've never been to a restaurant like this before and it amazes me to know how connected this family really is.

This type of restaurant would take months to get a reservation for paupers like me.

We both step into the restaurant as I try so hard not to glance around, reminding myself of my role as a sophisticated pretense bride.

One of the waiters appears with a smile tugged on his face as he greets us politely before leading us to a separate section upstairs.

It's a VIP section barely noticeable from the entrance.

We both settle down, sitting opposite each other.

    NINE MONTHS LATERALEXAToday is Xander's birthday but I'm the one getting surprised. I don't understand the reasoning behind it and when I try to ask him, he says he's gotten enough gifts to last him a lifetime. I understand him though. I really do. He's gotten all he's ever asked for, the messages from his mom. He has them and I couldn't be more happy for him. Eva on the other hand got more than what was coming for her. Thankfully, after a series of investigations, her hospital wasn't shut down but she was banned from operating, and the establishments were taken from her. She is nothing now. Owns nothing too. Over the past few months, with me and Xander traveling across the world, she's tried to reach us but Xander has made that impossible for her. I don't pity her and I don't think I ever will.A smile tugs at my cheeks as I rub my stomach in the mirror. I'm pregnant and I only just found out a few days ago. Xander doesn't know yet which makes it the perfect birthday gift for hi

    Alexa's POVMy head hurts but so does my heart.I keep trying to ease off the pain I'm feeling by rubbing my chest repeatedly but it won't. It won't stop hurting, won't stop throbbing. And I wish, I wish I can take out my heart and hold it. I wish I could nurse it and heal the broken pieces. Glue the broken pieces and go back living my life like nothing happened.But I can't because everytime I shut my eyes, Danielle's moans fill my mind.I feel so stupid. Eva, Danielle and even Sofia have tried to warn me. She's his first love. She's always been his first love. He's always going to love.Eva had mentioned it. She told me but I'd shrugged her off with a sly smile because I thought…Because I let myself think that what we both share is beautiful. Real. More than pretense. It didn't feel like pretense. It never did. But now, it's all thrown in the bin, shards of my heart are all I have to hold on to.“Alexa,” Sofia calls with worry as she moves from the door to where I'm sitting on the

    Alexa's POVMy head hurts as I flip my eyes open. The room is so bright that it takes me a moment to adjust my sight to the lighting, closing and opening them again. I groan as I move my hand to hold my head, wondering where the headache came from. It feels like someone is constantly hitting my head or something.As I adjust to the room, I realize something and stop moving.The curtains, the bed, the lighting…Nothing looks familiar. There's no Alexa singing in the shower or playing some morning music while she moves about. There is no familiar fragrance in my room. And the pillows, they are different. Everything is different from what I am used to. What I own and have.I sit up with a start at the realization, holding my throbbing head with my palm. I almost can't believe it. Where the fuck am I?A startling sound has me looking to my left and that is when I see her.Danielle is seated by the vanity table in the room, wearing a light purple dress that exposes her legs with them crosse

  • HIS PRETENSE BRIDE   CHAPTER 44

    Alexa's POVI haven't felt as happy as I feel in days. And I have Xander and the people around me to thank for that. It still feels very surreal to me how much things have changed around me in only a few months. Sometimes, when I think of my life now, I can't help feeling grateful.I'm married. I'm Mrs. Gold. I'm married to one of the sought after billionaires in the country and Sometimes, it all still feels like a dream.Or maybe it is a dream. If it's a dream, heaven knows that I never want to wake up from it. I grin as I check my phone to see if a text has come in from Xander. After he told me that he is on his way, I sent him some whooping stickers that screams my excitement.I don't know why I'm this excited but a movie night is what I have planned. The movie room has been organized by me, fully comfortable and dark themed with the movie ready to play. I've made popcorn and other treats I know both of us enjoy.I even made us matching T-shirts to wear for the movie. That's how e

    Xander's POVI exhale as I lean into my seat, my eyes surveying a copy of my father's will, and my inheritance on the screen of my laptop. I am yet to find anything I can work my way around. Maybe Costello knows it and that's why he hasn't been answering my calls.Even though I have managed to alleviate some of Alexa's fear, I know she is still worried about not fulfilling her end of the deal. What she doesn't know is I won't let her go whether or not she fulfills it or not.The realization stuns me a bit and it has taken me a few days to work my head around. I want her with me. I don't want her ever leaving. I never want her to feel distressed. And certainly not because she can't give me a heir.I don't know what my father was thinking when he decided to make such an obnoxious rule like this bit it's giving me a headache just thinking about it. I don't know why he assumed that I will never get married.Eva.Of course, it has to be Eva. Especially not with how quickly she took over my

  • HIS PRETENSE BRIDE   CHAPTER 42

    Xander's POV I can't seem to comprehend how much time speeds past us daily. Or maybe what I can't seem to really believe is that Akexa and I have been married for two months now.Today makes it two months since we've been married and I'm not sure she knows that. Especially as all she can think about these days is about getting pregnant. She has been frantic in her attempts to be pregnant and while I understand her perfectly, I don't like seeing her worry.Two days ago, I walked into the room and met her seated on a plushie, clutching one of those gest strips in her hold. The amount of time she uses that these days is alarming and I'm seriously starting to worry about her mental health.For a few minutes, she had no idea that I had walked in. She was seated there, quietly, lost in her thoughts. And my heart kept breaking at the sight. And when she whispered, quiet into the night as though she was alone, my heart broke even more.“What's wrong with me?” She whispered, head hanging low.
