The PRETENTIOUS Billionaire Series Chapter 10
Chapter 10 “And at long last, I finally have my boyfriend to myself,” Laureth exclaimed once they were alone in the living room. That was after lunch with his grandfather. His grandfather had left, perhaps to give them privacy, but Marcus found it hard to focus. His mind was elsewhere. He had been waiting for lunch to end so he could visit Naomi and her daughter—his “her and her child”? Did he really just say that? He was already claiming it as truth. Why? Laureth immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, her body practically on top of him. Marcus glanced at his wristwatch. He felt as if he had an allergic reaction to her touch. He wanted to push her away, but he couldn’t. “I have a meeting in 10 minutes, Laureth. I’m sorry, but I can’t do this right now,” he said, offering an excuse. The woman almost tugged at the collar of his long-sleeve shirt, which she had been playfully fiddling with earlier. “Meeting? Why are you still talking about meetings at a time like this? Why

Chapter 9 “I will not leave until you tell me the truth about why your daughter called me Daddy,” he declared, making Naomi freeze for a brief moment. She quickly recovered from her shock and sat across from him. “And who are you to demand anything?” she shot back sharply. Her head was heating up from his bold declaration. “I was just wondering. I don’t know how many people look like me for someone to mistake me for a father. The last time I remember, I was still single. But… I think… I think I know you?” Naomi tried to suppress her gasp. From his words, it seemed to confirm that this really was Marco, but she was still bewildered that he didn’t recognize her. “I am not your enemy, Naomi,” he said, and to her shock, he grabbed her hand. She tried to pull away, but he wouldn’t let go. “Rather than turning your back on me, why not enlighten me? If I am your child’s father, let me be a father to her.” Naomi felt a sudden jolt of pain in her heart. Everything was about Ileana now.

Chapter 8 “DADDY!” Ileana shouted as she saw Marcus standing at the doorway of the house. The young man couldn’t help but smile, leaning down toward the little girl. “Hi!” That was all he could say, unsure how to respond to her surprised shout. This was the second time she had called him Daddy, and he was staring into her eyes, seeing them reflect his own. “Eana? Who are you talking to? Sweetheart, I told you not to open the door when—” His gaze landed on the woman whose name he still didn’t know, despite seeing her several times since Zent’s wedding. She was wrapped in a robe that barely reached mid-thigh, her hair covered with a pink towel. And she looked like she had just seen a ghost. “M-Marco… e… Marcus…” she stammered, which made the young man grin. He cleared his throat and slipped his hands into his pockets. “I’m glad you know my name. I don’t know yours, sweetheart.” “Mommy’s name is Naomi Love. Why don’t you know the woman you got pregnant, Daddy?” the child aske
The PRETENTIOUS Billionaire Series Chapter 7
Chapter 7 OH GOD. Naomi’s worst fear had come true. She didn’t know how to explain the truth to Ileana. They were now face-to-face in her room. She couldn’t put her daughter to sleep. Ileana simply didn’t want to. “Sweetheart,” she said, “He is not your Daddy.” She sobbed as she told her for the countlessth time. “But he’s in the picture, Mom,” Ileana replied tearfully. “Why won’t he show me my dad? Don’t you love him anymore? Why doesn’t he know me? You said he was just at work.” The girl cried fully this time—something she hadn’t done before—but Naomi knew her daughter had only been holding back her tears and sobs. “Sweetheart…” Naomi said helplessly. She had nothing else to say. She had lied to protect her daughter’s feelings. She never saw this coming. “He doesn’t like us?” Ileana asked sadly, bitterness in her voice, but Naomi still couldn’t answer. “M-Mommy will find out if he’s really your Daddy. There are some things you won’t understand yet, but Mommy will find out t
The PRETENTIOUS Billionaire Series Chapter 6
Chapter 6 NAOMI tried to brush Marcus Ledesma out of her mind. She had arranged for her dad to pick her up early from the wedding reception, even skipping the food. She was so bothered by that man, and to avoid him, she chose to leave. She told her father to come get her because she was feeling unwell, and the team couldn’t leave. Even though the place was far, her father arrived. She only ate when she got home and went straight to sleep. And thank God, she was able to sleep despite Marcus being in her thoughts. Now she was at the office with Ileana. She was waiting for the payment from the superstar. They hadn’t received any down payment yet, but they trusted that he would pay since he was extremely wealthy. They had just sent the breakdown of services and the computation. The figures weren’t bad. Their earnings were substantial. The door slid open after a warning knock. She didn’t bother to peek at who entered. Most likely, it was a colleague who had brought Ileana along to buy
The PRETENTIOUS Billionaire Series Chapter 5
Chapter 5Naomi could only stare at her daughter, Ileana, after putting her to sleep. Sleep refused to come to her. Before bedtime, Ileana’s favorite topic was always her father. She kept asking questions about Marco, and every answer Naomi gave was a lie. How long would she keep protecting that wretched man—good only at making a child, yet marrying another woman?“Billionaire, pfft!” she muttered irritably as she stepped down from Ileana’s bed.Sleep would not visit her tonight. Maybe she should not have allowed her parents to return to the hotel. She wished she had someone with her now. But perhaps it was better that only she and her daughter were there. Her parents might notice how scattered her thoughts were, as if her mind had suddenly grown wings.She could not erase the image she had seen earlier. She kept wondering if Marco and Marcus were truly the same person.She went to the kitchen and took a cup to make coffee. Tomorrow, she and Aliyah had to wake up early to prepare the
