Nathaniel's POV.

I watched her face closely and I could see the indecision in her eyes but that soon changed and she just nodded in reply.

I really don't know why I offered to help with her love life, I don't even have any plans on how to help her. I don't know how I am going to make her silly ass best friend fall in love with her. I have never seen or met the boy before but I already despise him.

I don't know why I was being nice to her, I mean I even told her about how lonely my mansion can get. I have never admitted that to anyone apart from my little sister, Natalia and I just told Alexia about it without even thinking twice.

But I must admit that she seemed really cool and there was something about her that just seem to draw me in. Maybe because she will soon become my source of entertainment. The thought of helping with her love life is so exciting, at least it sounds exciting to me. Maybe because I haven't had much fun in the past years.

My friends and I idea of fun is to go to the club, get wasted and then pick a girl up and well, fuck her. I never had a real girlfriend before, not that I don't believe in love or anything...it is just non of the girls I have ever met seems real enough for me. They were always after something, it is either my money or the fame being with me will bring them.

Shallow minded bitches.

I have tried dating before but I always end up getting disappointed. They was that one girl I went on a date with one time, we met at a party and she seemed really cool and down to earth until I took her out on a date. She wouldn't stop talking about her shoots, how big her closet is, how much shoes she had and so on. She didn't even eat normal food, she had ordered some green stuff that I didn't even know existed and when I tried ordering she insisted on ordering for me and I allowed her. Let us just say I spent a lot of money on something I couldn't even eat.

So yeah, I gave up on dating a long time ago and focused more on expanding my business and making more money. Not that I haven't made enough to last me a lifetime but it just wouldn't hurt to make more.

I put a finishing touch to the design I was making and saved the file. I absentmindedly reached out to take another cookies but the tray was already empty. I can't believe I finished that plate of cookies already.

I have eaten enough sugar in the past two days and I have not been to the gym for the past 1 week now and to think the gym is right here in this apartment. Yeah, I have a gym in here.

Alexia was right when she said that the apartment is really big, when I started building this place, I asked them to design an apartment for me here just because I felt I should have one here but I didn't really think I would come to live here. I just thought to build it, just in case.

Yes, I own this whole building.

This apartment is pretty big I will admit that but it was still a little empty and it doesn't even feel as if they is someone living here. My mum would say it needs a feminine touch. Her words were 'a woman will know just the right thing to do with this place and make it full of life'. I don't know about that but I do know that the apartment is really empty. The only place that isn't really empty is the gym and my bedroom.

I visited the gym and worked out a bit before taking a shower and heading to bed with a smile on my face because I had a feeling the next few days will be exciting as hell.

___________________

I grabbed my car keys and my laptop bag that contained my laptop and some files. I was running a little bit late this morning but I wasn't rushing either. One of the perks of been the boss.

I opened the door to my apartment and locked the door behind me. I was going to head for my car when I saw Alexia and some guy outside talking. My guess was that he is the infamous best friend. What is his name again?

Oh yeah, Liam.

Even his name sounds silly. His name sounds like something that came straight out of a cartoon character.

I really don't see much in the guy and I don't know why Alexia loves him. He isn't even well built...like me and I haven't seen his face yet but I am pretty sure he isn't good looking either.

Without thinking twice, I walked up to Alexia and her eyes widened a little bit when she noticed me walking towards her. I sent her a smile and wrapped my hands around her waist before kissing her cheeks.

"Hey babe, you slept well?" I asked while moving a strand of hair away from her face.

She looked fluttered and unsure. She kept blinking her eyes like she wasn't sure if this was actually happening.

"Umm.. I did and you?" She asked almost tripping on her words.

"I didn't sleep well and I have only you to blame for that." I said.

"Okay, hold up. What the hell is going on here Alexia?" Liam asked.

I almost forgot he was standing there. I turned to face him and smiled but I kept my hands on Alexia waist and pulled her firmly to my side.

"Hi, you must be Liam. I have heard a lot about you." I said smiling at him.

He is actually a really good looking kid. His face made up for his lacking in the body structure or rather build.

"But I haven't heard shit about you. Who the fuck are you and why do you have your hands around her waist and you called her...babe? What the hell is going on here Alexia." He asked.

"Umm... I... Umm. Liam, this is Nathaniel, he is my..."

"Boyfriend. I am her boyfriend." I completed for her.

"You are my boyfriend?" She asked.

I turned to her and smiled. "Yes, of course you are. What? Are you telling me you didn't get the memo. You wound me babe." I said.

She blinked her eyes rapidly and started shaking her head "No, it is just... I was just shocked." She said.

Oh thank goodness she played along.

"Wait a minute. You have a boyfriend Alexia?" Liam asked.

"Well...Umm, Yes, I guess I do." She stuttered.

Liam scoffed in disbelief "Then how am I just knowing that now? I thought we were best friends." He said.

Okay, I guess that is my cue to leave.

"I have to go babe. I am already running late but I will see you later right?" I asked her.

She nodded her head. "Yes. Take care."

"I will. It was nice meeting you, Liam." I said but he just sent me a scowl.

I tried to hold back my smile and kissed Alexia on her forehead.

"Bye babe." I said and walked away.

I couldn't help but smile. This is going to be so much fun.

  • 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
