Alle Kapitel von The Billionaire's Sixty-Day Wife: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Alejandro's POVThe door closes behind Camila, and for the first time all afternoon, the conference room falls silent.I should be relieved as the meeting is over, the contract remains unsigned. Nothing has changed.Instead, I find myself staring at the door she walked through, replaying the conversation in my head and wondering why the hell a nurse with too much attitude has managed to become the biggest problem in my life.Most people are careful around me. Employees watch every word.Investors agree before I finish speaking.Lawyers become polite the moment they realize who they're dealing with.Camila Reyes looked at me like she'd rather set the contract on fire than sign it.The strange part is that I almost respected it. I loosen my tie as I leave the conference room and walk toward my office, but the image of her standing by the door refuses to leave my mind.The question had landed exactly where I intended, the problem is that I hated asking it. I don't enjoy using someone's

Alejandro's POVI don't expect her to come back.Not because the offer isn't tempting enough. Half a million dollars in treatment and a settlement large enough to change someone's life would tempt almost anyone.I don't expect her to come back because she's Camila Reyes.The woman who looked me in the eye and compared my proposal to a psychological disorder.The woman who walked out of my office even after learning her mother might not have sixty days left.Stubborn doesn't begin to cover it which is why I find myself looking up from my laptop the second my assistant announces her arrival."Ms. Reyes is here."A strange feeling settles in my chest before I can stop it.Relief, I immediately hate it. "Send her in."A moment later, the door opens.Camila walks into my office carrying the same determination she had the last time I saw her, but today there's something else beneath it. The dark circles under her eyes are deeper, and the exhaustion she tries so hard to hide is impossible to

Alejandro's POV"Family dinner tonight."The moment my grandfather says the words, I lean back in my chair and stare at the ceiling because Santiago Vega has spent eighty-three years perfecting the art of turning simple announcements into threats."Tonight?" I ask, already knowing the answer."That's usually what tonight means," he replies dryly, and the amusement in his voice immediately puts me on edge because it means he's enjoying himself."You gave me less than eight hours' notice.""Then I suggest you stop wasting them."The line disconnects before I can respond.For several seconds, I continue staring at my phone because I know exactly what this is.A test, another one.The estate review hasn't even officially started yet, and somehow my grandfather is already finding new ways to make my life difficult.I leave the office earlier than planned and return to the Malibu estate, fully expecting to find Camila somewhere she shouldn't be. Sure enough, I discover her in the kitchen ar

Alejandro's POVThe second I see her standing near the ballroom entrance, my stomach tightens because Isabella Hart is the last person I expected to see tonight.For a brief moment, she simply stares at me. Then her gaze shifts toward Camila, and although the shock disappears quickly, it doesn't disappear fast enough.Camila notices it too."Oh, I know that look," Camila murmurs beside me, and when I glance at her, I find amusement dancing in her eyes. "That's the look of a woman who definitely wasn't expecting to find you married."I look away.Bad move.Camila immediately catches it. "Oh my God." Her eyes widen. "You know her.""Camila.""No, no, wait." She points discreetly toward Isabella. "How do you know her?"Before I can answer, Isabella starts walking toward us.People notice.Of course they notice.Several reporters turn their heads. A few board members stop talking.Even Victor looks interested.The closer Isabella gets, the quieter the area becomes."Alejandro." A graceful

Alejandro's POV"What exactly is so funny?"The moment the words leave my mouth, the entire table goes silent.Good, because judging by the expression on Camila's face, whatever happened before I arrived wasn't funny at all.Several women suddenly become very interested in their drinks,others avoid eye contact completely.Only Isabella keeps her composure,mostly."Alejandro." She rises smoothly from her chair. "We were just having lunch."My gaze moves around the table before settling on Camila.She's smiling,a fake smile.The same fake smile she's been using whenever she's upset and doesn't want anyone to know.The sight immediately irritates me."Really?"The single word is enough to make the room even quieter.Camila glances at me, something flickers across her face,relief.The realization catches me off guard.Relief?Why would she….No,later.I'll think about that later. Right now, I have bigger problems."Alejandro, it's not what it looks like." Isabella gestures toward the tabl
