The PRETENTIOUS Billionaire Series Chapter 10
“S-Sir, I’m really sorry about our house,” Vienne said for what had to be the hundredth time that day. She had started apologizing the moment they were still inside the car. Now, even as they stood within the small, uneven yard outside her home, she found herself repeating it again, her voice soft with embarrassment. Geralt glanced at her, amusement flickering in his hazel-brown eyes. “Say that one more time and I might just kiss you.” Vienne’s eyes widened. “Sir!” A low, effortless laugh escaped him, rich and warm, and just like that, some of her nervousness melted away. They had spent the entire day together at the office, and she had seen enough to know that despite his commanding presence, Geralt was patient—surprisingly so. Kind, even. Almost unbelievably kind. She had caught herself wondering earlier if someone like him could truly exist. Or if, after a few days, he would reveal a different side—one that barked orders and snapped at her mistakes. Hopefully not. “Ma

He loosened his tie after finishing Olivienne’s training. She had been standing beside him earlier while he explained everything she needed to know. Her tasks were simple—basically the same things she used to do for Nivara, now transferred to him. Nothing complicated.And yet, despite the cold air from the air conditioner, he could feel sweat forming at the back of his neck.He didn’t understand why.Just like he didn’t understand why he wasn’t bothered by his recent breakup with Nivara.Perhaps he had simply grown too tired—too tired to keep being patient with a woman who only seemed to drain him. It didn’t feel like he had lost something important. If anything, it felt like he had been set free.Like a man who had finally escaped from a cage.There was no regret. No longing. No urge to fix what was broken.Whenever a good memory tried to surface, it was immediately followed by a bad one. And the worst always involved the same thing—the cruel words, the blame, the accusations surroun

Vienne’s heart pounded as she stepped into the sleek lobby of the building owned by Geralt. Today marked her first day as his secretary, yet strict instructions from HR dictated that she first hand over her documents to formalize her employment record. She clutched her folder tightly, her fingers trembling slightly.The elderly woman behind the counter glanced at her papers—the resume, the clearances, meticulously prepared.“You may head upstairs now, Olivienne,” the woman said without preamble.“Thank you, ma’am,” Vienne replied, bowing politely.“Tell me,” the woman continued, eyeing her closely, “do you have a backer?”Vienne froze mid-turn.“B-backer? No, ma’am. I don’t.”“Consider yourself lucky,” the woman said with a knowing smile. “Sir was supposed to hire someone during his vacation. I even drafted a posting for the position, but he came back early. Only a week remains before he resumes work. Yesterday, he canceled the announcement because, well… he found someone already. And

Vienne noticed the way her mother kept glancing at her while stacking the freshly washed plates on the wooden rack. The soft clinking of porcelain echoed inside their small kitchen, but it wasn’t the sound that caught Vienne’s attention.It was the repeated looks.Her mother had already looked at her several times, each glance lingering a little longer than the last, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t quite find the words.Vienne sat cross-legged on the worn floor mat in the living area, playing with her son while pretending not to notice.“Mom, are you okay?” she finally asked.Her mother paused mid-movement, holding a plate in one hand before carefully placing it on the rack. Then she turned toward her daughter.“I’m fine,” she said. “Are you?”Vienne let out a small breath and shrugged lightly.“I’m okay, Mom. At least even if I was humiliated earlier, I didn’t completely lose my job.” A faint smile appeared on her lips. “I was more worried about you and Zeus. Mister de

“How old is your child, if you don't mind?” Geralt couldn’t contain himself. He asked after a long silence while driving toward the place where Olivienne said she was staying.He found her name so unique—and it suited her. It was as beautiful as she was.“Three years old.”“Is it a girl or a boy?”“A boy.”“What’s his name?”“Zeus.”“Where is his father?” he asked again. It didn’t occur to him that his questions were becoming too personal. He wasn’t supposed to ask, but because of his fondness for children, he grew curious about the young single mother.“He’s gone, Sir. He left us when Zeus was born.”“What a very irresponsible man!” he replied irritably. “So many people want to have children, yet there are even more who abandon them—some even throw them away like stray kittens.”“Maybe that’s just how it is, Sir.”“Can I see him?”Geralt smiled, and she looked at him as if surprised.“U-Um… Zeus is afraid of strangers.”“I see. Then maybe not. He might cry.”“W-Why do you seem to lik

The man stepped inside the elevator casually, his hands tucked into his pockets after glancing at her. Vienne hesitated. Instinctively, she thought about stepping out of the elevator instead. What if Nivara truly decided to throw her out of the building? She didn’t want Zeus to grow up without a mother. She took a step toward the door, ready to leave the elevator, but before she could get out, the man suddenly caught her by the arm. “Stay inside,” he ordered, his voice calm but commanding. Perhaps because she still saw him as someone with authority—someone like a boss—Vienne froze and obeyed. After a few seconds, she finally gathered the courage to speak, but when she opened her mouth, the elevator doors had already closed. He released her arm. “We’re going to the basement. Come with me to my car,” he said. Vienne couldn’t respond immediately. Her mind raced with worry. If Nivara saw them together again—especially going to his car—there would surely be another scene. Wait.

Chapter 11 “BYE!” Naomi waved at her parents as she was left by the gate. It was raining, and her parents were heading back to the hotel with her daughter. They had spent the entire day sightseeing, but in every beautiful place they visited, she couldn’t help thinking that Marco should have been w

“Don’t make it a habit to fight with your girlfriend, son.” That was Rosenda’s advice to her son, Geralt, after he came home and went straight to his private bar—where an impressive collection of expensive liquor nearly reached the ceiling. He was already drinking. And yet there was his gentle
