"Is he always that dramatic?"

Drent didn't look up from the documents spread across the desk. "Yes. Because that's who Marcus is."

"He was flirting with me." I crossed my arms. "Right in front of you."

"I know." He set the papers down and looked at me then, and there was something flat and certain in his eyes. "That's exactly what he was doing. Stay away from him, Renata."

"I wasn't the one who walked up to him."

"I'm not saying you did. I'm saying don't engage. Don't give him anything t

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 116 : The Reveal

    RenataI stood there listening as the doctor explained which medications my mother would need next, her voice calm and measured as she assured me my mother's body had been responding well to treatment. Relief loosened something tight in my chest, easing a fear I had been carrying for days."We'll need to get this, along with a few syringes," the nurse said, handing me a short list.I nodded frantically, almost too eager to answer, gripping the paper like it was the only solid thing in the room.I reached into my bag for a mint, my throat dry and raw from stress, and let it dissolve slowly on my tongue as I tried to steady myself. Then I walked out of the hospital, my heart still pounding, praying with every step that they would get her better soon. These past few days had stripped away every ounce of focus I once had for the company, for the promise I had made to defend it. All of it had blurred into the background, replaced entirely by worry for my mother, by the fear that I might st

    MarcusI sat at my desk, sifting through a stack of research documents, when my phone rang. My assistant's name flashed across the screen, and I answered without looking up from the papers in front of me."Have you heard from Renata?" he asked."No," I said flatly. "Why would I?"There was a pause on the other end before he spoke again, his voice careful, hesitant. "Renata's mother was poisoned. It's already spreading through the company. The word is the father thinks it was you."My hand went still against the desk. "What?""He's saying you wanted her to handle something important today, and when she backed out saying her mother was in the hospital, he assumed you arranged it so she would miss it."I sat back slowly, my mind reeling. I knew exactly what I was capable of. I had schemed, manipulated, fought dirty more times than I could count to get what I wanted. But this. This was not me. Why would my father even think for a second that I would go this far.I did not blame him for su

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 114 : Unknown Caller

    RenataI sat across from Mr. Cole in his office, the morning light cutting sharp lines across his desk as he studied me with that same measured calm he always carried. He asked about Drent and me, about the depth of what existed between us, and then he asked the question that mattered most."Are you truly ready," he said, folding his hands in front of him, "to win against Marcus and stand in Drent's place until he recovers?"I swallowed hard, the weight of the question settling heavily in my chest. I let myself weigh it, really weigh it, everything I stood to lose measured against everything already at stake, my mother's safety, Drent's future, the promise I had made him when he could not speak for himself."I'm ready," I said finally, my voice steadier than I felt.Mr. Cole nodded, satisfied, and I left his office carrying the full weight of what I had just agreed to.I had barely made it a few steps down the hallway when Payton appeared beside me, a cup of coffee in hand, and with a

    RenataI went to the hospital that afternoon and sat quietly in the corner of the room, watching as the nurse moved around Drent, adjusting his IV, checking the machines that beeped softly beside his bed. The cool efficiency of the nurse's movements made my own skin prickle, a strange awareness settling over me as I sat there, unable to look away from him.Drent lay still, his curly hair damp against his forehead, a few strands falling loosely across his face. I rose from my chair without really deciding to, crossed the room, and reached out to brush the hair away from his eyes. My fingers lingered there a moment longer than they needed to, tracing gently along his temple before I pulled my hand back."I don't know if you can hear me," I whispered, my voice barely audible even to myself, "but I'll do my best to make sure Marcus doesn't win."The nurse glanced over at me, a soft, curious smile touching her lips. "Are you his wife?" she asked."No," I said quickly, straightening. "I'm n

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 112 : Daughter's Debt

    mrs DianeIt had been days since I last heard from Renata, and the silence had begun to eat at me in a way I could not shake. I sat by the window most evenings now, phone in hand, staring at a screen that refused to light up with my daughter's name. Since the surgery, everything about her had shifted. The girl who once could not fall asleep without calling her mother first, who used to phone just to complain about the smallest things, a bad day at work, a fight with a friend, the weather, was now barely home at all. I felt it in my bones before I could put words to it, that quiet, gnawing dread that only a mother carries, the kind that whispers something is wrong long before anyone confirms it.I was sitting at my kitchen table, a cup of tea warming my hands, lost in thought, when a knock sounded at the door. I set the cup down and made my way over, and the moment I pulled the door open and saw Edwina standing there, my whole face lit up."Edwina, sweetheart," I said, pulling the girl

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 111 : Much more personal

    RenataI walked in with my head held high, my heels striking the marble floor in a rhythm that matched the pounding of my own heart. I let the intensity burn through me, unfiltered, unapologetic, until my eyes landed on Payton and Marcus. I watched the shock bloom across their faces the moment they saw me standing there, alive and unbroken, and for a fraction of a second I almost laughed. Even I was a little stunned that I had found the nerve to come back.But I steadied myself. I was not about to back down now, not after everything. I had made Drent a promise, that while he was gone I would make sure Marcus never got his hands on the empire he had spent his whole life building. It was not complicated. It was not some grand, heroic mission. It was simply me keeping my word, even if it meant risking my life to do it.And after what Payton and Marcus had done to me, after the betrayal that still lived in my bones, this felt like more than duty. This felt like the perfect revenge. I stra

    RenataA week passed and all my efforts to get into the tournament had failed. A part of me began to regret not taking Drent up on his offer, but another part of me was glad I had not. I did not trust him or his family.They were probably the kind of rich family that believed only money mattered, o

    DrentThere was something unsettling about her. I had asked for a spa therapist, but instead they had sent me something I found far more amusing. A tiny, curvy girl who I found surprisingly tempting.Which was strange, because I had not felt that way about anyone in years. But it felt like a good s

My eyes strained as I searched for Edwina. When she finally appeared, I dragged

    Renata"You will never be a boxer, Renata." The coach screamed it so loud that it echoed through the hallway. My heart sank. This had been my dream since I was six, to be a professional boxer. But the school system seemed dead set on the fact that it was a male sport, and it had always been."Wait,
