All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The message was from Darious, regarding the assignment Leon had given him earlier in the morning about Amber's background. “Sir, I found something about Miss Rose's birth history. She wasn’t born under that name and there’s no record of her birth in Ravelle’s registry, nor in the nearby towns. But there’s an abandoned record in Millford Hospital, dated twenty-three years ago. That's the same year she was supposedly born. I’m still investigating the connection.” Leon’s fingers tightened around the phone. Millford Hospital. That was two towns away. He exhaled slowly, locking the phone before Amber could notice the tension in his face. But it was too late. She already noticed the change in his countenance. “Who was that?” She asked curiously. He slipped the phone into his pocket and forced a calm smile. “Nothing serious. Just a work text.” She didn’t look convinced. “You sure?” Leon nodded, reaching for her hand. “Amber,” he said quietly, his tone warm and steady. “Whatever hap

The next morning, the sun slipped through the curtains. Amber was the first to open her eyes. She was resting her head on his arm as his other hand was wrapped around her. She stared at him for a moment, admiring his facial features. He slept peacefully like a baby. A smile tugged her lips, then she gently removed his hand from her body and quietly slid out of the bed. She moved carefully, trying not to wake him, put on her clothes, and tiptoed towards the door. Just as she took a step out, she froze. Ma’am Alice was walking towards the door. Amber’s heart skipped. She immediately turned to hide, but Alice had already seen her. “Amber,” Alice called. Amber turned slowly, giving a nervous smile as she stood outside Leon's door. “Oh— good morning, Ma’am Alice,” she said, trying to sound casual. “I didn't see you there.” “Good morning, dear,” Alice returned her greeting, smiling. “You're up early.” Amber laughed nervously. “Yeah… I just uhm…” she swallowed then tried to change

He stood there for a moment, staring at her. “How may I help you?” The woman's voice called him back to reality.“Oh,” Leon cleared his throat. “Good afternoon, madam. We’re looking for someone, a woman named Elizabeth. We believe she used to live here.”The woman’s eyes widened slightly. “Elizabeth?” she thought then remembered, “Oh… her. “Haven’t heard that name in years. But… Why are you looking for her? “I have someone important to ask her.”“Hmm…” her gaze shifted to Darious then back to Leon. “Come in.”When they got in, she brought a stool out for Leon to sit while she sat across him.“So, you knew her?”“Knew?” The woman gave a warm smile. “Everybody knew Elizabeth. She was trouble — always drinking, always fighting. Men in and out of her place. One day, she… vanished. No one knows her whereabouts.”Leon straightened his back, “Do you know what happened?”“She was pregnant when she disappeared,” the woman continued. “Gave birth at the hospital, then ran away with the baby. W

Amber stood over Leon, yelling on top of her lungs. “ONE MOMENT YOU’RE KIND, AND THE NEXT, YOU ACT LIKE I DISGUST YOU! DO I LOOK LIKE A JOKE TO YOU? EVERY NOW AND THEN, YOU KEEP PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS!”Her chest rose and fell rapidly. She was shaking. Leon's heart ached. He has never seen her that angry before. He set down his cutlery and raised his gaze to hers. Her eyes were burning with fury.“Amber…” he tried to speak. “You won't understand.”“Then make me! I'm tired of you treating me like my feelings don't matter. If you have something to say, say it!”He hesitated, a lump forming in his throat. He can't tell her. At least not until he's confirmed whether they're related or not. He tried to speak but no words came out.“You know what,” Amber muttered, her voice now low and calm. “I'm done with this. She turned to leave the dining room but Leon’s voice made her pause.“We might be step-siblings,” he finally whispered. The silence that followed was suffocating.Amber turned

The next morning, Leon had woken up early to get ready for the hospital for his results. While he was preparing, Amber stirred awake.“Hey… where are you going?” She asked with a sleepy voice.“The hospital,” Leon responded quickly.Amber sat up quickly, fully awake now. “Can I come with you?”“There won't be a need for that,” he said, adjusting his sleeves “You need to rest.”“But—”“Amber,” Leon called firmly, interrupting her. “Stay,” he insisted.“I won't open the results until I get back. So, we'll check it together. Is that fine?”Amber hesitated for a second before nodding slowly. She watched him as he slid out of the room. *************The drive to the hospital was about 20mins. The doctor handed the result over to him in his office. “Here is the result, Mr. Viremont.”Leon’s heart pounded as he held them in his hands. He didn't know what to expect but had prepared his mind for the worst that could happen even though everything in him was hoping it came out negative.“Since
