The car glided smoothly through the massive iron gates, and Alexandra’s breath caught in her throat. Even in her state of high anxiety, she couldn't help but marvel at the sheer scale of the estate. It was a palace of gold, marble, and exquisite art a house that clearly shouted "billions." This was Ethan’s world.

When the chauffeur stepped around to open her door, Alexandra stayed frozen for a second, convinced he could hear her heart drumming against her ribs like a trapped bird. She stepped o

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 36: Maya is different from Alexandra.

    RyderIt's been six days since we've been looking for Maya St. Clair. I can't say what had happened, but something is wrong somewhere.I don't understand why I keep having this feeling that Maya left herself. Like she's somewhere listening to the news but doesn't want to come out.Well, Maya can be like that. I heard the news that she once stopped going to school for two weeks, and no one knew where she went.Later on, her parents found her in a hotel suite. She has this way of doing things. Though, I don't know if it makes any sense to her.On a second note, could she be in danger?Gosh! I don't even know what to think again. My mom isn't even picking up my calls. I wonder what Dad told her.And I can't even go to work. Dad said I must never step foot inside his company if I can't find Maya.I've decided to start my company, but then I had to stop. What will people say about me? Won't they think I am heartless? Starting a business while my wife is nowhere to be found.I'm in a dilemm

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 35: Reconciliation with My Mom

    AlexandraMy hands shake under his. Despite this, I can also feel heat arise from the part he held. It runs through my body and causes a shudder.He let go of my hand quickly, his eyes watching me. "Are you alright?”I blink once, then twice. What does he mean by that? I thought he recognized me as Maya.“I wanted to tell you my orders, but you've been walking past me,” he says, giving me a confused look.I take a deep breath and remember I'm putting on my face mask. He would never know it's me. Aside from that, there's no way Maya will be working in a bar. Or is there?“Oh, alright. Tell me then.”“For now, I will like a bottle of champagne and barbecue.”“I will be back,” I whisper and ease myself back to Alexandran, “ A bottle of champagne and barbecue for Ethan."He drops the bucket of ice and puts in the bottle of champagne. “I'm furious,” he says and walks to get the barbecue.I hurried to give him the champagne with a glass of wine. I can feel Ethan's gaze on me as I make my wa

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 34: Surprise is an understatement.

    AlexandraMy heartbeat increases, and it feels like it's going to rip out of my chest. My hands shake, and I feel my legs break down under me. If I were standing,I might have faltered.Petal was still watching me with those all-knowing eyes. “Don't you think?”I look away, fidgeting in the process. How the heck did he know I was a surrogate? Well, it's palpably clear, isn't it?Perhaps I should tell him. I should let him know I didn't mean to be Maya's substitute. But wouldn't that include telling him where the real Maya is? Well, I will just tell him I don't know.“ What? Why do you look so shocked? Don't you know you have a lookalike?"I look at him again, surprised. What's he talking about?He raises confused brows. “You don't know that you look so much like Maya Everett?”OMG! He didn't notice! I thought he did. OMG! I was so scared.I release the breath I didn't even know I was holding. Jeez, I nearly started talking. What if I had told him something he doesn't even believe?I sm

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 33: He knows?

    AlexandraPetal smiles and moves his head towards me. I knew he wanted to kiss me. The silly man must think so highly of himself.I meet him away, hitting my hand on his head.“Damn!” He curses, and his hold on me falters. I take it as an opportunity to ease away from the bed.“Lady!” He calls angrily as I start to figure out where the damn door is.He comes at me from behind again, and I struggle to get free from his hold.“Hey, calm down!" he says, “ Please," he adds quickly.I stop moving, and then he lets me go too. I turn to look at him. "What's happening here? How did I get here?”I know he didn't touch me because I'm still with my wear, and my underwear is intact. Though, I'm yet to figure out why.Petal has another nickname aside from the one that put him and his friends together. This nickname is something that was invented because of his stupid behavior. Petal is a skirt chaser.“Don't you remember?” He blinks once, and I give him a skeptical look. “In the bar.”I sigh, "And

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 32: Get him out of my face.

    AlexandraI open my eyes slowly. My head hurts so much, and it feels like I banged it hard against something.I look around swiftly, then I realize I'm not in my room, and it doesn't look like my house either.Since Mom wouldn't even talk to me, I couldn't decide whether to get a house or not. I just got a phone and some clothes.But where am I?The door opens, and Petal walks in. I look up at her, my mouth opens in agape as I give him in-depth scrutiny.He's hot, in short, and damn! He's shirtless, his bulging chest and broad shoulders telling me how strong he is.A little digression, and I'm staring at his abs.OMG! How can he be so strong underneath?And what is he doing here?I laugh. I must be dreaming again.I don't know why Petal is always coming to my dream. But I've had enough, and I'm waking up.I lay back on the bed and close my eyes.“Alexandra_” he started, but I stopped him with a wave of my hand, my eyes still closed.I turn to my right side and try to fall back asleep.

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 31: I kissed Petal.

    Alexandra I look up at Emily as she helps me with the champagne. She gives me one last look before she walks out. She looks angry, actually.I laugh inwardly. She used to make me feel inferior, and now she's been forced into serving me.Well, I've been working at the bar for three days now, but the manager would not stop giving me special treatment.Most times, she would let me go home earlier. Though I don't think I can continue working for her, yet I will use her for now.I've made her and Alexandra promise not to expose my identity. They are supposed to call me Alexandra in public and Maya in private.It feels weird that I'm still unable to identify as myself. I don't like the fact that I can't even walk in the daytime. I think that will reduce after Maya is found.Who am I kidding? I might have to be in hiding for months. No one knows when Maya will wake up. And they are not even going to let the world know she's in the hospital.Assuming they can do that, then they will stop loo

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 26: Caught in the Middle

    I looked at her for a long moment, having to actively fight the urge to burst out laughing. She looked incredibly cute standing there all flustered, but I wasn't about to let that soften my resolve. I have secrets to keep, and a soft spot for her face isn't going to make me spill them.The truth is

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 24: Hatred overpowers, my love.

    Alexandra My heart skips a beat at our closeness. My body shudders involuntarily, and my breast aches to be touched. My lips ache to be kissed.I pull my lower lip in and struggle to escape his hold.He's a strong man as his hand circles my waist, bringing me closer to him. We are so close now; I

    EthanI look at her for a while, then let it fall on her exposed breast.Unfilled desires from last night crept on. I let out a sigh. I shouldn't be doing this.“What are you doing!” She screams, suddenly forcing my eyes back to her.I raised a brow and waited.“Why are you with a towel?”I blink o

  • The Fake Billionaire   Chapter 22: A Night of Blurred Realities

    I managed to slip out into the compound without anyone raising an eyebrow. Honestly, my plan went smoother than I expected. For a second there, I was convinced Ethan had spotted me, but I didn't stick around to find out. I moved so fast that even if he had seen a glimpse of me, I was long gone befo
