Alejandro's POV

My phone starts ringing before seven in the morning.

I don't even open my eyes. I already know who it is.

"Dylan."

His voice explodes through the speaker.

"WE'RE FAMOUS!"

I pull the phone away from my ear.

"Good morning to you too."

"Forget morning!"

"I'd love to."

"Turn on the news."

"I don't watch breakfast television."

"Your face is everywhere!"

That gets my attention.

I sit up. "What?"

Across the room, Camila walks out of the bathroom drying her hair with a towel.

  • The Billionaire's Sixty-Day Wife   CHAPTER 128

    Camila’s POVI was supposed to stay inside. That had been everyone’s rule. “No seeing the groom.” “No sneaking out.” “No exceptions.” I lasted exactly forty-three minutes.Lena looked up from her phone as I quietly opened the bedroom door. “…Where are you going?”I froze. “…Kitchen.”“With shoes?”I looked down. “…It’s a very committed kitchen trip.”She sighed dramatically. “You can’t lie.”“I know.”“You’re terrible at it.”“I learned from Alejandro.”She laughed. “That explains everything.”I walked back toward her. “I just…” I smiled helplessly. “…I miss him.”Lena’s expression softened immediately. “I know.”“I shouldn’t.”“I know.”“But I do.”“I know.”She stared at me for a second before reaching into her pocket. A car key landed in my hand. I blinked. “…What?”She shrugged. “I didn’t see anything.”“You didn’t?”“No. If anyone asks… I’ve been asleep.”I laughed quietly. “You’re the best.”“I know.” She pointed toward the door. “Go. Before I become responsible.”I hugged her q

  • The Billionaire's Sixty-Day Wife   CHAPTER 127

    Alejandro’s POVI should’ve stayed in my office. That was my first mistake. My second mistake was believing the house would be quiet. It wasn’t. Someone yelled upstairs. Someone laughed downstairs. Brian ran past me carrying three garment bags.I frowned. “…Should I ask?”He didn’t even slow down. “No.”“Excellent. I wasn’t planning to.”“You’ll regret it.”“I probably will.”He disappeared around the corner before I could ask another question. Karen appeared two seconds later. “Did Brian come through here?”“I think a tornado did.”“Same thing.”She sighed dramatically and hurried after him. The house somehow became even louder. I looked toward the staircase. “…Maybe I’ll just…”“No.” Lena’s voice came from upstairs before I even moved. “Don’t come up.”I blinked. “I wasn’t.”“You were thinking about it.”“…That’s creepy.”“I know you.”“I hate that.”She laughed. “Stay downstairs.”“I’ll survive.”I walked toward the kitchen instead. Santiago sat comfortably at the table drinking te

  • The Billionaire's Sixty-Day Wife   CHAPTER 126

    Camila’s POVNobody warned me dinner could become this loud. Brian was arguing with Dylan before dessert even existed. Karen had already threatened both of them twice.“This is a family dinner.”Brian looked offended. “We’re bonding.”“You’re yelling.”“That’s how I bond.”Dylan pointed across the table. “I object.”Karen sighed. “Nobody asked the lawyer.”“I object to that too.”Santiago chuckled into his soup. “I’ve missed noisy dinners.”Maria smiled warmly. “I forgot how wonderful loud people can be.”Brian raised his hand proudly. “I’m exceptionally loud.”“We noticed.”Alejandro leaned closer to me. “I almost canceled.”I blinked. “What?”“I thought it might be too much.”I looked around the table. Brian was trying to convince Dylan that mashed potatoes counted as vegetables. Karen was losing patience. Maria was laughing so hard she almost spilled her tea. Santiago looked happier than I’d ever seen him.“No.” I smiled. “It’s perfect.”He quietly reached under the table and squee

  • The Billionaire's Sixty-Day Wife   CHAPTER 125

    Dylan’s POVI had argued billion-dollar cases. I’d faced judges. I’d cross-examined dangerous people. None of that prepared me for standing outside Lena’s apartment holding a ring.I stared at the door. “…I can do this.” Then I immediately turned around. “…No, I can’t.”“Dylan.”I nearly jumped out of my skin. Brian stood behind me holding two grocery bags. “How long have you been talking to the wall?”“I wasn’t talking.”“You apologized to the mailbox.”“I was warming up.”Brian nodded thoughtfully. “That’s somehow worse.”I rubbed my forehead. “Please leave.”“No. I want to witness history.”“I want privacy.”“You’ll embarrass yourself.”“I know. I don’t want an audience.”Brian grinned. “I absolutely do.”Before I could throw him down the stairs, the apartment door opened. Lena stepped outside carrying a trash bag. She stopped immediately. “…Why are both of you standing here?”Brian answered first. “I’m emotionally invested.”She looked at me. “What about you?”I lifted one hand. “

    Lena’s POVI had officially lost my best friend. Not to marriage. To bridal magazines. Camila sat cross-legged on my couch with six wedding magazines spread around her, staring at dresses like they contained the meaning of life.I folded my arms. “…You’re crying.”She immediately wiped her face. “I’m not.”“You literally sniffled.”“It was… dust.”“In a brand-new magazine?”“…Emotional dust.”I burst out laughing. “Oh, this is beautiful.”“What?”“You used to roll your eyes whenever anyone talked about weddings.”She groaned and covered her face. “Don’t remind me.”“I have to. It’s my duty.”She peeked at me through her fingers. “I hate you a little.”“I know. But you love me more.”She sighed dramatically. “Unfortunately.”I snatched one magazine from her lap. “Let’s see.”She reached for it. “No.”“Why?”“You’ve circled thirty-seven dresses.”“I have not.”I flipped through the pages. “One. Two. Three.” I kept counting. She slowly shrank into the couch. “…Maybe.”“You’ve circled for

    Camila’s POVAlejandro picked me up before sunset without explaining where we were going. I looked at him suspiciously. “You’re smiling too much.”He immediately looked away. “I smile normally.”“No. You smile like you’re hiding something.”“I’m hiding traffic.”“There isn’t any.”“…Exactly.”I laughed and folded my arms. “You’re terrible at lying.”“I’ve improved.”“You really haven’t.”He placed one hand dramatically over his heart. “That hurts.”“I was aiming for honesty.”He sighed. “I walked into that.”The car followed the coastal road until I recognized the view. I turned toward him slowly. “Wait…”He kept both hands on the steering wheel. “…Don’t.”“Don’t what?”“Don’t make me emotional before we get there.”My heartbeat quietly sped up. “This is…”He nodded. “I know.”The Malibu beach stretched out before us exactly as it had the first time. Same waves. Same breeze. Same endless horizon. Only everything else had changed.We stepped onto the sand together. The wind immediately
