All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Your pride won't do you anything good.Take the money and leave.”Amber's fingers grew cold as she held on to the phone. The message glared at her in bold letters. How? How can this be? How did they know about the check?She immediately went close to her window, peeping outside as if someone might be standing there, watching.“This can't be real,” she whispered, clutching the device tighter. Only a few people knew about the check. Elsa, of course, Ma'am Alice, she and Leon. Maybe Isabel too, because she and Elsa are a bit close.Whoever it was, they weren't an outsider. They were closer than she had thought. The sound of the door creaking open made her nearly jump. “Gosh!” She gasped.“Amber?” Leon called gently a s he entered the room. His hair was still damp from the shower, wearing a clean navy blue shirt, and the sleeves rolled to his elbows. He noticed she was startled. “Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you,” he apologized. “Is everything okay, tho? You look troubled.”“Is it abo

VIREMONT HOLDINGS HEADQUARTERS…Leon's car pulled over smoothly at the underground parking lot of Viremont Holdings headquarters. The building was a tall skyscraper, it's glass gleaming in the afternoon sun.Darious stepped out of the vehicle first then opened the back door for Leon. They stepped into the building as whispers of employees from every angle filled the room.The men admired his aura while the ladies gushed over his looks.“Oh my gosh. If only I can be in his bed for one day,” one of the female employees said, almost drooling. “I wonder what he saw in that Amber girl.”“Careful, he mustn't hear you,” another employee warned. Leon entered through the private elevator. By the time they reached the top floor, his secretary stood up to welcome him.“Good morning, sir,” she gave a polite bow. “They're waiting for you in the board room.”Leon gave a single nod and headed there. When he got in, the royal-syndicate representatives were already seated, their expressions mixed wi

Amber turned to the familiar voice. Ma'am Alice stood at the doorway, then walked towards her. She stood by her side and they both stared at their reflection in the mirror.Her blond hair was styled in soft waves, falling elegantly over her shoulders. Her make-up was simple yet striking, her gown fitting perfectly into her frame like it was specially made for her together with the jewellery Leon had gotten for her. She looked nothing like her former self — the one who worked double shifts in a restaurant. By the time they were done, it was already 10:00am — one hour to go.“I hope you love your look, ma'am,” one of the stylists asked softly, looking at Amber.Amber's lips parted, “Y-yes, it's… different,” she said, “in a good way, tho.”Alice's eyes flickered. “You're ready. He's waiting downstairs.”Amber smoothed her palms down the silk folds of the gown. Her heart raced faster than she could imagine. Nervous? Yes. But she needs to keep her cool. To calm herself, she closed her eye

Isabel's wrist trembled in Amber's grip. Her eyes widened in disbelief. No one had ever dared to touch her that way before. She was the heiress to Miller's group, a princess. Everyone feared her, but not Amber.“Let… go of me, you.. filthy whore,” she struggled to get Amber's hands off her.Amber casually drops her grip. “You should be careful, Isabel,” her voice, sharp and clear. “I'm not one of those you should underestimate. You had your way the other time because Leon was there and I was trying to keep calm. This time, I won't allow you to talk to me like I'm your child.”“You think you have the power because Leon chose you?” Isabel blurted out of anger. “You're NOTHING but a charity case he took pity on,” she said, gritting her teeth.Amber tilted her head slightly, her lips curling into a faint smirk. “I don't care whatever you say, Isabel. Your words mean absolutely nothing to me.”Isabel took a step closer, her brown eyes piercing deep into Amber's. “You have no idea who you'r

Amber's brows drew together. She could sense the seriousness in Leon's tone. “What could be the issue,” she thought to herself. “Okayyy…. What is it?” Leon hesitated, his hands gripping the stair railing. He got down the stairs, walked towards her and took a seat beside her. “Uhm,” he cleared his throat. “About our arrangement… there have been some changes.”She placed the book aside, paying more attention to Leon. “Change? What do you mean by that?”“I know the initial agreement was to be engaged for three months. But, my father… he… I think he suspects us.”“The deal with Senator Vale will only go through after our marriage. A real one.”Amber furrowed her brows, trying to process what Leon had just said. “What do you mean by a real one?”“Not just an engagement. A proper marriage,“ he said. “And it has to last for at least a year for me to inherit the company.”Amber let out a sarcastic laugh. “Oh my God, you're so funny,” she continued laughing, “this is a joke, right?”Leon's e
