The longer Leon stared at the documents in his hands, the harder it became for him to breathe properly. At first, he convinced himself there had to be some mistake somewhere. There had to be an explanation. Something that would prove Alice was wrong. Something that would tell him his father wasn't capable of doing something this horrible. But as his eyes moved from one page to another, every hope he had slowly disappeared.

He read the names again, hoping he had overlooked something. He flipped

  • The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée   Chapter 78: Unspoken goodbye.

    RINA'S APARTMENT…The apartment had been unusually quiet all afternoon. Amber stood on the small balcony outside the living room, absentmindedly watering the potted plants Rina had insisted on buying months ago. Her thoughts drifted aimlessly, never lingering on one thing for too long.Or at least, that was what she wanted to believe. Every few minutes, her mind wandered back to the same man — Leon. She had replayed his press conference so many times that she could practically recite every word from memory.She closed her eyes. “Focus Amber… focus.”Just then, a knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. Rina, who had been folding laundry in the bedroom, peeked into the living room."I'll get it."Amber nodded absentmindedly, setting the watering can aside. She barely paid attention as Rina walked toward the front door.The moment Rina opened the door, a long silence followed. Amber, from where she noticed the unusual silence.“Rina?” She frowned. “Who's at the door?”No answer.

    "Douglas..." she whispered, fear replacing anger. "Tell me."Douglas's restraint finally snapped. “FINE!” he thundered."Leon knows about the fraud, Elsa."He looked her straight in the eye. "He knows I falsified the company's financial records years ago. He found everything, Elsa. Every document... every falsified record... every piece of evidence I thought had disappeared.""He told me I had two choices. Either I confessed myself... or he'd hand the evidence over to the authorities and let the law do what I refused to do. And if he did, the damage would have been way worse than this”The color drained from Elsa's face. Her lips parted, but no sound came out.Douglas's breathing was uneven, his chest rising and falling heavily as years of guilt finally forced their way to the surface.Elsa stood still to the spot, her lips parted in disbelief. The words she had just heard refused to settle in her mind."You..." she whispered, her voice trembling. "You framed an innocent man?"Douglas

    VIREMONT MANSION…Douglas sat alone in the study, his elbows resting heavily against the mahogany desk as the muted television continued replaying footage from the afternoon's press conference. Every news station carried the same headlines.VIREMONT HEIR RESIGNS AS CEO.LEON VIREMONT REJECTS MILLER ENGAGEMENT."THE ONLY WOMAN I LOVE IS AMBER ADAO."He had watched the broadcast so many times that the words had begun to lose their sound. Leon's face remained frozen on the screen, calm and resolute as he stepped away from the podium while reporters surged after him, their microphones thrust into the air in a desperate attempt to obtain one final comment.Douglas reached for the remote and switched the television off and silence settled over the room. For the first time in many years, he found himself wishing he could turn back time. Not to the press conference. Not even to the day Leon resigned. Much further.Back to t

    RINA'S APARTMENT…Amber continued staring at the television long after Leon disappeared from the stage. The reporters continued shouting over one another, each trying desperately to obtain one last statement before security escorted him out of the ballroom, but their voices gradually faded into meaningless background noise.Leon's final words echoed loudly in her ears."The woman I love... is Amber Adao."The confession replayed in her head over and over again. None of it felt real. She already knew Leon loved het, but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine he would stand before the entire country, reject another woman and openly confess his love for her.Yet she had watched it happen with her own eyes. She wasn't even aware that tears had gathered in her eyes until one escaped and landed on the back of her hand.Rina, who had remained unusually quiet throughout the broadcast, reached for the remote and lowered the volume. T

    When the question dropped, Leon didn't answer immediately. He lowered his gaze for a brief moment and slowly drew in a deep breath before lifting his head again.His eyes met with Isabel where she was sitting in the front row, and for several seconds, neither of them looked away. He could feel Isabel's eyes pierce through his, a flicker of hope and expectation in them.Finally, he spoke."Thank you for asking that question." His voice remained calm. "I believe it is only right that I address it myself."The reporters leaned forward, getting their pen ready to scribble down words.."The truth is...""There has never been an engagement between Miss Isabel Miller and me."A wave of murmurs swept across the ballroom, but Leon continued before anyone could interrupt."Of course, our families discussed the possibility of marriage many years ago. It was something they hoped would happen in the future."He paused. "

    RINA'S APARTMENT…Amber remained rooted to the spot in front of the television. Her jaw dropped. The words Leon had spoken continued replaying inside her mind. She blinked rapidly, trying to digest what she had just heard him say. The news banner at the bottom of the screen remained exactly the same.BREAKING NEWSLEON VIREMONT RESIGNS AS CEO OF VIREMONT HOLDINGS.Her lips parted slightly. "...Why?" She wasn't asking anyone in particular. The question had escaped almost unconsciously. “Isn't… isn't he supposed to announce his engagement with Isabel?”Rina picked up the remote and lowered the volume of the television. The reporters were still talking over one another, trying to make sense of Leon's announcement, but neither of them paid attention anymore.Amber slowly sat back down on the couch. Everything felt unreal. A few hours ago, his father had publicly admitted that her father had been innocent all along. And before sh

    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

    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 t

    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 engageme

    “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.
