Drent

That familiar fragrance of hers filled the room again, putting a smile on my face that didn't show. I hated that I couldn't admit I was happy she was back, but I was still stung by her stubbornness.

It had taken me days to finally find her on my own. Since my men couldn't do the job, I had to do it myself as always.

She sat in my car looking as stunning as I had left her. The silence stretched between us as I drove her back to Chicago, and I wasn't planning on letting her go again. I noti

    RenataI sat at the dining table, waiting, until Drent finally walked in, his guards flanking him on either side.I had spent most of the morning rehearsing exactly how I wanted this conversation to go, keeping my tone soft, agreeable, nothing like the woman who had screamed at him through a locked door only days earlier. If I wanted any real shot at escaping, I needed him to believe I had finally accepted my place here, at least on the surface."You look happy today, Peach," he said, taking his seat across from me."I'm not," I said, straightening. "I've just given up trying to get out of here. So I figured I would ask for some adjustments, if I'm going to be staying."He studied me for a moment, leaning back in his chair. "What do you want?""I just have one request," I said. "If I'm going to be here, I want outdoor time. At least one hour every day. I can't stay locked in a room all day. Let me see the sky at least."He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "That's not a bad idea."Relief

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 161: Gunther

    RenataI woke up panting, my chest heaving, disoriented until my eyes landed on Drent sitting across from me in a chair, a glass of whiskey resting in his hand. His eyes hadn't left me since the moment I opened mine.The room around me looked different from the one I remembered falling asleep in, unfamiliar shadows stretching across walls I didn't recognize, the faint hum of an air conditioner somewhere overhead. Wherever we were now, it was nothing like the estate I had spent the last few days trapped inside."Where am I?" I asked, my voice hoarse."You died and went to hell," he said flatly, without even the faintest hint of a smile."What?" My heart lurched painfully."And I'm here to torture you," he added, and this time the corner of his mouth finally curved upward, letting me know he was only teasing."I didn't die?" I asked, still trying to piece together what had happened. "How?""You're not dying on my watch," he said simply."No, I thought—" I started, but he cut me off, gri

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 160 : Don't leave me

    DrentThat cute little look was still on my face as I held Reneta in my arms and carried her back toward the room.She was never leaving me.Not now.Not ever.I knew she was angry with me. I knew she probably wanted to fight me, scream at me, and maybe even bite me if I gave her the chance.But I couldn't help smiling.She was too damn cute.The moment we got inside, I noticed the small cut on her finger. It was bleeding slightly, probably from when she had grabbed the broken edge of the chair earlier.I immediately went to get the first-aid box.When I came back, she was sitting at the table with her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her lips pushed into the most adorable pout.I placed the box on the table and gently lifted her onto the surface.She glared at me."Never try to escape me again."She didn't answer.Instead, she snatched the bandages from my hand and began wrapping her injured finger herself.She did it angrily, pulling the bandage a little too tightly.I couldn't

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 159: Mexico, Not So Nice city

    BryanI can't let it show, I told myself, staring blankly at the floor of the bar. I can't let anyone see that I still have feelings for Renata after all these years.It had been years since I let myself think about her that way, years since I convinced myself that whatever we once had as kids belonged firmly in the past. Seeing her walk back into my life had cracked something open that I thought I had sealed shut a long time ago, and hearing the fear in her voice on that call had only made it worse.But that call, the panic threading through her voice, the way she had rushed through every word like she barely had time to say them at all. Something was wrong. Was she actually in trouble.Her message had been simple enough on the surface. Go find Edwina. Tell her Drent had her. But who the hell was Drent. Nothing about any of it sat right with me.I turned to my boss. "Mr. Shane, I'm going to need to take today off."Shane looked up from behind the counter, a knowing smile already tugg

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 158: From Vent to His Arms

    RenataIt was a tight vent, barely wide enough for my shoulders to fit through, but I was determined, more determined than I had ever been about anything in my life. I still could not fully believe I was actually doing this, crawling through a metal duct like some desperate fugitive in a movie, my knees scraping raw against the cold metal beneath me.Every inch forward felt like a small victory, proof that I hadn't simply resigned myself to whatever fate Drent had planned for me. I thought of my mother, of Edwina lying helpless in that hospital bed, of the life I had been so close to starting fresh in Mexico, and let that anger fuel me forward through the cramped, suffocating darkness.After Spencer left me in that room, believing I was still unconscious, I forced myself upright the second I heard his footsteps fade down the hallway. I knew I only had a small window before he returned to check on me, and screaming would do nothing here. They had already moved me somewhere deep undergr

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 157: Double Trouble

    SpencerI had served Mr. Drent for eight years now, through every version of him I had ever seen, the calculated businessman, the guarded son, and lately, this desperate, obsessive man I barely recognized. But tonight was different from anything I had ever been asked to do before. Tonight, the fate of his entire company sat balanced in my hands.Eight years was a long time to watch a man change. I still remembered the version of him who used to tip generously without a second thought, who once sat with me in the kitchen at three in the morning just to talk through a bad night rather than order me around like most men of his standing would have. That memory was part of why I stayed loyal even now, even when the requests he made of me grew darker with every passing week.I was just a servant, technically speaking. Yet somehow, in this single evening, I held the power to either save him completely or destroy everything he had ever worked toward. If I moved quickly, hid Renata before the

    DrentThe applause soon faded, the unexpected kiss between me and Renata had amused everyone. I didn't know we had the attention of everyone, and most especially, my father, who seemed to stand from afar with a smile of approval.That alone made me feel so close to getting the company than ever, bu

A tiny, curvy girl who I found surprisingly tempting.Which was strange, because I had not felt that way about anyone in years. But it felt like a good s
