Ronan's POV

She 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 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 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

  • Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire    Chapter 91

    Ronan's POVThe question hung between us like smoke.Sarra stood there holding that stupid box, and I could see her considering it. Actually considering walking away from everything we'd built in the past three months and moving into some apartment provided by a man who'd known her for four days.Four days.I'd known her for three months. We'd been living together for two. We'd made plans—nothing concrete, but plans nonetheless. Talked about maybe getting a dog when spring came. About her setting up a proper office in the spare room. About quiet mornings and quieter nights.And now she was holding a key to someone else's apartment."I don't know," she said finally.The honesty was worse than a lie would have been."You don't know." I repeated the words slowly. "You don't know if you're going to leave me and move into an apartment owned by a man who's been manipulating you since the moment you met him.""He hasn't been manipulating me—""Yes, he has! Sarra, wake up. He admitted he wasn

  • Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire    Chapter 90

    Sarra's POVI stared at the closing door, my brain struggling to catch up with what had just happened."Sarra." Adrian's voice pulled me back. He was still holding the box, still looking at me with those intense blue eyes. "Don't.""Don't what?""Don't run after him. Not yet. Just let me finish what I was saying.""You were proposing to me!" My voice came out higher than intended. An elderly couple at the next table looked over. I lowered my voice. "After knowing me for four days, you were proposing.""I wasn't proposing. I was offering you an option.""With a ring box!"He set the box on the table and opened it. Inside wasn't a ring. It was a key."It's to a condo in San Francisco. I own it, but it's sitting empty. Fully furnished, great neighborhood, month-to-month lease if you want it." He pushed it toward me. "I'm offering you a place to land. Nothing more."I felt like an idiot. "I thought you were—""I know what you thought. And maybe I should have chosen a different container f

  • Fake Dating the Hollywood Billionaire    Chapter 89

    Sarra's POVThe seaweed wrap was exactly as weird as it sounded.I lay there like a burrito, covered in what smelled like the ocean floor, while a woman named Crystal hummed and told me to "release my tension into the earth." I wasn't sure how to do that, but I nodded anyway because Crystal seemed very invested in my tension's journey.Maya had already finished her treatment and was probably day-drinking at the wine bar. She'd texted me a picture of a cheese board that did, in fact, look the size of her head. Multiple types of brie were involved. I'd never been more motivated to finish a spa treatment in my life.My phone buzzed on the small table beside me. Crystal gave it a disapproving look."Electronic devices disrupt the healing energy," she said."Right. Sorry." But I looked anyway.Adrian: "How's the spa life treating you?""Currently wrapped in seaweed and questioning my life choices.""Sounds therapeutic.""Smells like low tide.""Even better. Listen, I'm going to be in your
