If someone casts Villainous Wealth for X = 6 and Part the Waterveil is revealed, can they choose to play it with Awaken and not pay the mana cost because of Villainous Wealth to take an extra turn and get the 6 counters?
Because you’re already casting the cards using an alternative cost (by casting them without paying their mana costs), you can’t pay any other alternative costs for the cards, including casting them face down using the morph ability. You can pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the cards have any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
You can't use awaken or any other alternative costs while casting the spells.

Do you mean, you cast Villinous Wealth with X=14? Nothing changes, casting "without paying the mana cost" and casting with awaken are two alternative costs. You can only use one of them, and Wealth forces you to use "without paying the mana cost" if you want to cast the spells. So you can't choose awaken.
