All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Amber's POV. I tiptoed towards the door, reached out for the knob, and asked again to confirm who was there. “Who is it?” “Amber, open up. It's me, Leon.” Leon? I checked the time. It was already a few minutes to 10 pm. What is he doing here by this time? I took a deep breath, arranged my hair and opened the door. “What are you doing here? It's quite late.” “Can't I come to check up on my fiancée?” I gave him an irritated look. “I'm not your fiancée.” “Well, technically, you are. At least for the next three months.” “Urgh… whatever. What do you want?” “Aren't you going to invite me in?” He asked as he placed his hands on the edge of the door, waiting for me to say the word. I stared at him for a few seconds, then reluctantly stepped aside for him to enter. “So?” I crossed my arms as soon as he stepped in. “What is it?” “A press statement announcing our engagement would be released tomorrow,” he said smoothly. “Thought to let you know so it doesn't come too suddenly.” He

Leon's POV. I closed the door gently behind me, but the image of her stayed glued in my mind. Her trembling hands, her shaky voice as she spoke, her eyes filled with unshed tears. She had no idea how much she reminded me of myself. I thought of her words. It hit me harder than it should have. I knew what it meant to be nothing more than a pawn, a name, a legacy to be bartered. My father had drilled that lesson into me since I was old enough to stand beside him in boardrooms. My phone blew up with notifications. I had gotten interview requests, calls from reporters, comments, messages, name it. I leaned against the wall and thought of how much pressure Amber would be feeling. I was used to the drama, I could handle it better. But beneath the fierce courage and confidence she displays, lies a soft and broken heart. I should have walked away, kept my distance like I always did. But the truth was, when she looked at me like that, vulnerable, weak, and shattered, I felt something

Chapter 16:By the time Leon got home, it was already late at night. The house was quiet. He loosened his shirt as he stepped quietly into Amber's room. She was already fast asleep, so he thought.He walked up to her and sat carefully beside her, watching her sleep. He was about to leave when he noticed a damp sweat on her forehead. Her brows furrowed, her lips trembling as she whispered broken words in the stillness.“Dad… wake up. Please… don't leave me.” A single tear rolled out of the corners of her eyes down her cheeks. The sight of this made Leon's chest tighten. This was the second time he's seen her like this. She was going through a lot, trying to be strong at the same time.Without thinking twice, he reached out for her hands and soon, her trembling eased. Leon exhaled slowly, realizing how tightly he had been holding his own breath. For a long moment, he just sat there, studying her. He leaned back and wondered what other things she's been bottling up and carrying the burd

“LOVE TRIANGLE SCANDAL? ISABEL MILLER CONFRONTS LEON VIREMONT AND HIS FIANCÉE AT A LUXE BREAKFAST SPOT.”“Oh my world. This is crazy,” Amber said to herself, covering her mouth with her palm as she read through the news content. Attached to it were images from that morning—containing her, Isabel, and Leon, and blurred images of her and Leon leaving the restaurant.“There's really no privacy in this world. How has something that happened this morning made it to the news? They sure do have a lot of time on their hands” She scrolled through the content and finally got to the comments. User1: “Isabel looks like she's about to explode. She should have just saved her face by letting him go. He clearly doesn't love her.”User2: “I have no idea why Isabel will stoop so low to Amber's level. She's a queen and queens don't throw tantrums.”User3: “People calling Amber a gold-digger are clearly mistaken. She doesn't look desperate to me.”User4: “Amber kept her composure while Isabel caused a

It's been two weeks since Amber and Leon have been playing pretend. Amber didn't realize how much has changed until she finds herself smiling at something Leon has said, how thoughts of him randomly crept in her mind and how she has now become more comfortable in his place.When Leon wasn't around, Ma'am Alice kept Amber's company. She helps her with things she didn't seen to understand and tells her things she didn't know about Leon.Life in the mansion has settled into rhythm, sometimes awkward but comforting at the same time. They often ate together, share thoughts and ideas… sometimes she gives him ideas relating to his business which surprises Leon. One morning, over breakfast, he had told her about their first public appearance in a company gala. Amber stood in front of the mirror in her room, staring at her reflection, smoothing down the fabric of the dress Ma'am Alice had chosen fot her. It wasn't the gala gown yet, just practice for fittings and posture lessons, but she alr
