The PRETENTIOUS Billionaire Series Chapter 18
“WE will talk some other time,” that was what Geralt said to Vienne after brushing a kiss on her forehead. “Miss Virgin.” She shyly blinked and kept her head down. “You’ll explain to me, but not now. I’ll just think you tricked me and just wanted to tease me with your being a virgin.” “Hey, no!” she quickly answered and looked up at him. Geralt just smiled at her. “Just kidding. I have an important thing to do. For now, stay here. I’ll see you tomorrow in the office with Zeus,” he gently caressed the child’s cheek and stared at him. “A-Are you not going back inside?” “Do you want me to go inside again?” “Hey, no!” she answered again immediately, making Geralt laugh loudly. But she noticed his eyes, as if he was thinking deeply about something—that he was only faking his laughter. “As much as I want to, I can’t. Next time, baby.” Baby. He kissed her forehead again, then her lips—quick kisses—before glancing at his watch. “I’ll go now,” the man said goodbye. “T-take care.”

And so it happened—Vienne entered with Zeus.“Dizzy, Zus!” Zeus said as they went up in the elevator.She softly laughed while carrying the child.“It will go away. We’re almost there, we’ll be out soon,” she told him.He buried his face in her shoulder as the elevator made a sound.“There, we’re getting out now, my child.”Even though she was struggling with everything she was carrying, it was fine. Even if she looked like a Christmas tree in the middle of summer, it was okay.Things weren’t going well in their place. It turned out that mining wasn’t the real intention of the people who wanted to enter. A wealthy businessman supposedly owned the land they were living on, and it was said to be inherited from his grandfather. That was what her mother told her earlier when she called. The people there were going to fight back because the entire land would be taken—including the stream and the waterfall where she found Zeus.She was deeply worried. That place was their only source of liv

Vienne ran away that night with Zeus in her arms and fear in her chest. There were no words between her and Geralt after he kissed her. For him, it might have meant something clear, something decided. But for her, it only brought confusion and fear. The moment his lips touched hers, her mind stopped working, and her heart began to race in a way she could not control. She had a boyfriend before, but her life had always been simple. She grew up in a quiet province where people did not show affection in bold ways. Even couples who had been together for years rarely kissed. Love, for her, had always been gentle and distant. So that kiss—unexpected, intense, and from her own boss—felt overwhelming. She did not understand why he did it. Maybe she was just someone he could use to forget his past relationship. Maybe she was only there to fill the empty space left by another woman. That thought alone made her chest tighten. So she chose to leave. She packed quickly, took Zeus with

Geralt opened the door of the hotel room and stepped aside so Vienne could enter first. He looked at her and spoke in a calm voice.“Stay here. I’ll just be next door, alright?” he said.They were given rooms on the ground floor so she would not have a hard time going up and down. He had even booked the entire hotel and paid for two days of income so no other guests would be allowed to stay. It made Vienne feel both safe and confused. She did not understand why he would go that far.She nodded at him, but then she found herself staring. She did not notice it at first. There was something she wanted to ask him, but she felt shy. Ever since she started feeling something strange whenever she was around him, it became harder for her to talk to him. Her heart would always beat too fast, and she was just thankful he did not seem to notice.“You’ve been staring at me for a while now,” Geralt said with a teasing smile. “Do you want to say something, or do you just think I’m very handsome?”“W

“MOM!” Geralt called loudly as he looked around the huge house. Vienne stayed quietly behind him, holding their bag and a few clothes for her and her child. She could not hide the amazement in her eyes. The house was too big and too beautiful. It felt like she would get lost if she walked alone inside. The floor was shining, the walls were decorated with expensive paintings, and everything looked perfect. It was a world far from what she was used to. She and her child were only here because earlier, when she shook her head at Mildred, her mother ended up saying yes to Geralt’s offer. She felt so embarrassed about it, but she knew her mother could be shameless when it came to opportunities like this. And now, everything happened so fast. They had just arrived from a flight, riding Geralt’s private plane. It still felt unreal to her.“Mom!” Geralt called again, then he looked at Zeus. “Call grandma. Grandma!”“Grandma!” Zeus said happily, making Vienne smile despite her nervousness.“Ve

Chapter 13Day by day, it became normal for Geralt to send different kinds of things for her child. Every afternoon, Vienne would come home carrying paper bags filled with food, snacks, and sometimes groceries that looked far too expensive for her salary. It felt like she had a sponsor she never asked for. The first time she tried to refuse, Geralt had gone quiet in a way that made her uncomfortable, as if she had offended him. After that, she never attempted to turn him down again.He also visited their house almost every day. At first, it felt strange having someone like him in their small home but slowly, it became natural. He would sit on their worn-out couch, play with Zeus, and laugh at the child’s simple jokes. Zeus, who used to be distant and shy, was no longer the same. He warmed up to Geralt quickly, as if there was something familiar about him.Whenever Geralt was around, it no longer felt like he was her boss. It felt like they were simply… friends.“Here comes the beautif

Chapter 17 Naomi’s lips trembled when Marcus looked at her. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. It felt like she was the woman from a dream. Had she heard him right? “Let’s get inside?” he said with a smile, his tone almost questioning. She simply nodded and quietly turned away. Everyt

Chapter 18 Naomi smiled when she noticed her daughter. Ileana was standing there, stretching her neck as if trying to see everything. Naomi knew the child was already bursting with questions but couldn’t ask yet—her father was still a secret between them. “What’s this dinner all about, Naomi? Did

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 be
