Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire Chapter 87
Isabelle's POVMargaret Thorne looked like Ronan.That was the first thing I noticed when she walked into the hotel lobby—same jaw, same way of holding her shoulders back like she was bracing for impact. Different coloring, darker hair, sharper edges, but unmistakably his sister.The second thing I noticed was the fury in her eyes."You must be Isabelle." She said my name like it tasted bad. "The woman who showed up with a surprise daughter and got my brother killed."I stood, smoothing down my dress—a nervous habit I'd never quite broken. "Ms. Thorne, I'm so—""Don't." She held up one hand, the other gripping her suitcase handle so tightly her knuckles were white. "Don't apologize. Don't explain. Just tell me where my brother is.""The medical examiner still has him. They said—""I don't care what they said. I want to see him. Now."Her voice cracked on the last word. Grief breaking through anger like light through clouds.I recognized it. I'd been doing the same thing for two days—h

Sarra's POVThe coffee mug shattered in slow motion.I watched the pieces scatter across the kitchen floor—ceramic shards mixing with dark liquid, spreading like blood across the white tiles. My phone was still pressed to my ear, but Isabelle's voice had gone silent. Or maybe I'd hung up. I couldn't remember.Ronan was dead.The words didn't compute. They sat in my brain like foreign objects, refusing to integrate with reality.I'd left him four hours ago. Four hours. He'd been warm and alive and watching me with those eyes that saw too much. I'd driven away thinking about whether I could actually make this work, whether loving him was enough to overcome everything else.Now there was nothing to overcome. Nothing to work out. Nothing left but this cottage that smelled like him and memories I'd never get to make.My legs gave out.I sat down hard on the floor, right in the middle of the spilled coffee and broken ceramic. A shard cut into my palm but I barely felt it. Just watched blood

"Madame Moreau?"The doctor's face told me everything before his words could. I'd seen that expression before—careful sympathy, professional distance masking discomfort."I'm so sorry. We did everything we could, but the head trauma was too severe. He was without oxygen for too long. Mr. Thorne didn't make it."The words landed but didn't quite penetrate. Didn't make sense.Ronan was forty-two years old. Healthy. Strong. He couldn't just be gone."I want to see him," I said."I don't think that's advisable. Not with—" He glanced at Amélie, still wrapped in that ridiculous blanket, staring at nothing. "Perhaps it would be better to remember him as he was.""I want to see him," I repeated, my voice harder now."I'm afraid that's not possible right now. The body has already been transferred to the medical examiner's office. There are procedures, especially with accidental drownings. You'll be able to make arrangements in a few days."Medical examiner. Procedures. Arrangements.The clinic
Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire Chapter 94
Ronan's POVI woke up before Sarra, which almost never happened.She was curled against me, her hair spread across my chest, one hand resting over my heart. The morning light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, turning everything soft and golden.Last night had been... I didn't have words for what last night had been.Desperate and tender and real in a way nothing had been in days. Like we'd both been drowning and finally found air.She stirred, her eyes opening slowly. For a moment, she just looked at me, and I couldn't read her expression."Hi," I said."Hi." Her voice was rough with sleep. "This doesn't fix everything.""I know.""I'm still angry. Still hurt. Still not sure about any of this.""I know that too." I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "But it's a start, right?"She was quiet for a moment. "Maybe."My phone rang, shattering the moment. Isabelle's name flashed on the screen."I should take this," I said.Sarra rolled away, pulling the sheet around hersel
Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire Chapter 93
Ronan's POVShe walked into the clinic wearing that damn leather jacket like armor, and I knew I was in trouble.Not because she looked angry—anger I could work with. But because she looked calm. Resolved. Like she'd already made her decision and was just here to fulfill an obligation before moving on with her life.A life that apparently didn't include me."Sarra." I stood from the waiting room chair, and Isabelle looked up from the magazine she'd been pretending to read."Ronan." She didn't smile. Didn't move toward me. Just stood there by the door like she might bolt at any second.Amélie, oblivious to the tension, bounced over. "Sarra! You came! I didn't think you would come!""I said I would." Sarra's voice softened when she looked at the little girl. "I keep my promises."The words were directed at Amélie, but they landed on me like a punch.The DNA test itself took less than fifteen minutes. A bored technician swabbed Ronan's cheek, then Amélie's, labeled the samples, and said
Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire Chapter 92
Sarra's POVI drove for twenty minutes before I had to pull over because I couldn't see through the tears.The rental car sat idling on the shoulder of the coastal highway, waves crashing somewhere below in the darkness. I pressed my forehead against the steering wheel and let myself fall apart.Three months. I'd upended my entire existence for a man I'd known for three months.What kind of person did that? What kind of person abandoned their friends, their apartment, their whole identity to follow someone to a town where the most exciting thing that happened was when the bakery got a new flavor of scone?The kind of person who was terrified of being alone. That's who.I pulled the key box from my pocket and opened it. The brass key gleamed under the dome light, promising escape. A fresh start in San Francisco. My own space. My own life.Adrian's life, a voice in my head corrected. Adrian's apartment. Adrian's offer. Still orbiting around a man instead of standing on my own.I closed

Sarra's povI was so horny it was hard to think straight.The clock ticked past two hours, then three, then four. I checked my phone every few minutes, but no texts from Ronan. My body burned, a constant ache between my legs that wouldn't quit. I'd tried everything to distract myself. First, I pac
Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire Chapter 20: Left Wanting
Sarra's PovI went down to the kitchen, still wrapped in Ronan's robe, sipping my coffee while he dealt with his phone in the hallway. The morning light streamed through the windows, making the city below look peaceful. But I still wasn't over Lexi catching us in the act. I pushed it down. Ronan h
Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire Chapter 19: Oh Lexi
Ronan’s POV“Fuck, who the hell—”I didn't get to complete that sentence. Sarra stopped against me, and her face was buried in the sheets. My mind took a second to catch up.“Ronan?” It was Lexi.I sat up so fast my head spun. The blanket slid down, and I pulled it back up just in time to cover bot
Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire Chapter 18: Taking Care of the Patient
Sarra's PovI woke up to the sound of coughing from the other room. It was loud, like someone was hacking up a lung. I rubbed my eyes and checked the clock on the nightstand. To my disappointment, it was barely seven in the morning. The guest room in Ronan's condo was way too comfortable, with it
