“Are you okay, now?” Leon asked Amber who was enjoying the view and calmness of the lakeside.

“Uhm, yeah. Thank you for bringing me here.”

“You're welcome,” Leon replied, throwing a soft smile. “I'm glad I could help.”

“We should head home now,” he said.

“Sure, we should,” Amber agreed as they both made their way to where the car was parked. Leon opened the passenger door fot her before circling around to the driver's seat.

Before they drove off, Leon's phone buzzed. He realized he had left it in the car all through the period they were outside. He grabbed it and glanced at the screen — six missed calls from his mother.

He exhaled sharply, murmuring words to himself.

Amber noticed the shift in his expression. “Is everything okay?” she asked curiously, furrowing her brows.

“Yes, just my mother,” Leon said, dropping his phone. “I'll call her when we get home.”

He started the engine and pulled the seat belt over himself, Amber doing the same, before finally driving off. When they finall

  • The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée   Chapter 57: what to do?

    BACK AT LEON'S PLACE…While Leon was away, Amber stayed curled on the couch, hugging a pillow, trying to process everything. The house felt too big, too quiet, too overwhelming.A sudden knock at the front door startled her. She stood slowly, wiping her eyes before opening it. It was Rina. As soon as the door came open, Rina threw herself to Amber and hugged her tightly. “I'm so sorry you have to go through all of these,” she whispered in her ears.Amber who has been trying to hold herself finally broke down in tears. “I'm tired, Rina.”“Let it all out, baby,” Rina comforted, tapping her back gently. “I'm here for you.”After a while, they separated as Amber led her into the living room. Rina was completely astonished. Her eyes scanned the interior and she finally spoke her mind.“Uhmm I know this is not the best time but girlllll… this place is hugeeee. Whatttt!!!”Amber gave a faint smile. “Yeah, it is. I had the same reaction when I first came in too.”“They sure live in a differe

    The appearance of the headlight sent shivers down the ladies spine. Amber stiffened. Rina grabbed her arm. Zara took a step back.Leon raised a hand gently. “It’s okay,” his voice calm. When the car rolled to a stop, a familiar figure stepped out.“Darious,” Leon exhaled.Darious hurried over to them, bowing his head slightly. “Sir.” Leon nodded, “Perfect timing.”Darious opened the backseat door and Leon gestured for Rina, Zara, and Amber to get in, and once they were settled, he stepped aside with Darious.“So, what’s the situation?” Leon asked, voice low and controlled.Darious sighed. “I cleared the reporters out. Security helped move guests out of the hall, too. But…” he paused, his expression shifting to a sad one.“But what?” Leon pressed, his tone laced with concern.“Isabel… she addressed the press before I got to her. I tried to stop her but she—”Leon frowned. “What did she say?” He asked, cutting him short Darious hesitated for a while before answering him. “She said ev

    Isabel had been the one all along. She had hired a journalist to investigate Amber. During her visit to Amber’s home, she had secretly recorded Mrs. Adao confessing to everything. The video that played was that of her mother talking about Amber's encounter with Leon, their debts, the fake engagement, her adoption. Everything was going according to her plan.Amber’s hands trembled. Her throat went dry. Her whole life was displayed in front of everyone. How could her mother do this to her? She felt betrayed. She turned slowly to Leon, tears welling in her eyes. She didn’t even know what to say. Didn’t know where this pain should go.Isabel stood at the corner of the room, twirling the glass of champagne in her hand with a wide and wicked grin on her face watching her crumble. The view of Amber being humiliated satisfied her so much.The screen went blank and the room was filled with confused whispers, gasps, scattered murmurs.Then chaos.Reporters barged in with their cameras as the

    “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Amber, Happy birthday to you!!!"“Hip hip, hurrayyyyy!!!” They all sang joyfully. Her eyes drifted from face to face. Rina was there, grinning wide, holding up her phone to record. A few of her former co-workers were there too, waving excitedly. Even Zara stood shyly at a corner, smiling softly.Amber covered her mouth with her palms. “Oh my God…” she turned to Leon, still in disbelief. “You… did all this?”Leon smiled faintly, his voice low but warm. “I wanted to surprise you.”She chuckled, a little teary-eyed. “Leon, I can’t believe you did this. How did you…”He brushed a strand of hair from her face. “That doesn't matter right now, Amber. What matters is that you're happy.”A warm smile appeared on her lips. “Thank you, Leon.” He nodded in response and smiled back while she joined the crowd, hugging and thanking them before approaching Rina.“Youuuuu!” She gave her a soft punch on her shoulders before hugging h

According to him, he doesn't want any distractions.The investigator called at intervals to update Leon on the progress of the search.
