Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire’s Marriage of Convenience : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

ALENAEvery moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul.Our honeymoon was something that changed my life—something that gave me a little bit of hope that maybe this marriage wouldn't be as horrible as it appeared when we started off.After all, they say, bad beginnings make good endings.Being back in New York after an eventful getaway to Ibiza was something that saddened me a lot, but we had to come back home at some point.After a few logical calculations, I concluded that Dylan Cameron and I had basically built the foundation of our relationship in Ibiza.There was progress in our relationship, and maybe being alone together had helped us go towards sailing in the same boat.I couldn't exactly tell if everything was permanent in terms of his mood and everything towards me, but I had faith that he now at least considered me a human being.I had woken up quite early in the morning to shower and dress myself up after landing in New York the prev

ALENAMy head throbbed painfully. It was as if someone had stabbed a sharp knife into my skull. I threw my head back onto the pillows helplessly.I hoped the pain would subside soon as I closed my eyes, tears involuntarily spilling out. To hell with these migraines.My migraines had the power to bring me down and imprison me. They made me weak and lose my mind. They were very powerful, and that was too occasional.It had been almost three months since my last devastating migraine. That one had left me vomiting, and I became totally paralyzed, and my vision was blurry. During those tough times, I had no one to take care of me. I had myself and my bedroom.I tried to think of what could have triggered the migraine, but I realized it only intensified the pain, so I stopped thinking about it.The pain had persisted for the whole night, and I couldn't even call either Emily or Elizabeth. My legs felt like jelly, and I felt nauseous. My head was spinning, and everything began to appear in c

ALENAAxel's Chevrolet Camaro was quite a cool and comfortable car. It was smart and classic, and he treated it like his baby.We had been traveling for roughly half an hour, just enjoying the peace as we listened to the radio and pretended we were both in our own worlds.My head had cooled off a bit, but I could still feel the buzz of the migraine in my head. Whatever drug he had given had surely resurrected me from the dead, and I needed it again in the near future because I could feel my head getting heavier and heavier by the passing minute."How are you feeling, Alena?" Axel asked me as he looked at me shortly, then turned his attention back to the road."My head is getting heavier by the minute. It's getting stronger, but I think I can handle it."I had been through worse. This was nothing I couldn't handle. Fear was suffocating me, though. Everything was suddenly scaring me. I felt like death was knocking at my door.That suffocating feeling was the same feeling I felt minutes

DYLAN"Baby, can I come in?" I called out to Gwen as I knocked on our hotel's en suite bathroom door."No!" she screeched, and I heard something fall, probably out of panic."Are you okay, Gwen?" I asked, worried."I'm okay. What I meant actually is you can't come in right now," she told me nervously, and I could tell she was leaning against the door now."It's been close to two hours since you got in there, Gwen. What's going on in there? I'm coming in.""Please no, Dyl. I'm, uh, I'm naked," she announced, making me chuckle."Baby, I know what your naked form looks like, plus we could use that to our advantage." I breathed seductively as a way to convince her to open the door."No Dyl! I'm doing some womanly stuff, and I promise you wouldn't want to know. Give me fifteen minutes, babe, and I promise I'll make it up to you," she coaxed me, and I groaned in annoyance."Ugh. Fine. I won't come in." I groaned, then retreated to our king-sized bed, which was neatly made.I lay on my back

DYLAN"Are we back in New York three days earlier because of the mistake Gwen made?" Celeste asked me casually, putting aside the magazine she was reading.We had made it to New York almost eight hours after I talked to Alena, and we were currently in a car going to my house.I sat with Celeste while Ezra, Steve, and Gwen were on a three-seater bus behind our seats. I hadn't spoken much to Gwen, despite all her efforts. She looked miserable; she wasn't speaking to anyone, and she wasn't eating either. I had to make a plan."No. Like I said, my dad's coming back tomorrow, and I have to be here. I haven't seen him since the wedding reception. We have a couple of issues to discuss as well," I replied, taking her magazine as I started flipping through its pages."You are pissed about Gwen, right?" she asked."I see you are here to rub salt into my wounds.""Well, I wouldn't exactly say that. I'm here to defend my best friend, to help my employer relax a bit, and to help my brother-in-law
