Drent

I sat in my father's office and kept my face even, which was becoming an increasingly practiced exercise every time Marcus was in the room.

He had made himself comfortable already. That was the thing about Marcus. He moved into spaces quickly and completely, like a natural occupation, and by the time you noticed he was already settled. He sat across the desk from me with his legs crossed and his expression open and pleasant, and I kept my eyes forward.

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 120 : More than you can Chew

    RenataI hadn't seen my mother in two full days, and the not knowing had become its own kind of torture. I hired one of Drent's private investigators, a man named Jey, to track her down, and he called me the very next afternoon."Hey, I've got a lead," he said. "Call me back by three. Let's talk."I could not stop glancing at my phone after that, watching the clock crawl forward far too slowly, willing the hands to move faster so I could finally call him back. I needed to know if my mother was alright, needed some kind of proof that she was still breathing somewhere out there.I had no real clue who had taken her, no name to attach blame to, only suspicion and dread tangled together. But I had decided I was done waiting. I was done sitting in fear, letting whoever was behind this dictate my next move. This time, I was going to find whoever took her and bring her home myself.Every hour that passed without her felt like a small betrayal of the promise I had made at her bedside, the pro

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 119 : STaple

    DaineThe first thing I noticed was the silence.It was too quiet.No hospital machines. No nurses talking in the hallway. No distant footsteps. Just an eerie stillness that wrapped around me until my skin crawled.I blinked slowly, my head pounding as I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me. Everything felt heavy, as though I'd slept for days.Where... am I?Panic rose inside me.I pushed myself upright, my muscles trembling from weakness. The room was spacious, far too elegant to be a hospital room, yet something about it felt cold. There was a large bed with crisp white sheets, expensive furniture, thick curtains covering the windows, and a polished wooden floor.It looked more like a luxury bedroom.But it wasn't.It felt like a prison.My breathing became uneven.Reneta.The name exploded into my mind.Had Reneta brought me here?Maybe... maybe she'd finally arranged somewhere for me to recover after everything that had happened. Perhaps she wanted to surprise me."Reneta?" I

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 118 : Forced Date

    RenataI went to the hospital before I had to leave for the date with Finn, needing to see my mother one more time before facing whatever the evening had in store for me. The nurse handed her the next round of medication while I stood watching, relief settling slowly into my chest as I saw the color returning to my mother's face."How is the treatment going?" I asked, keeping my voice low so I wouldn't wake her."She's doing well," the nurse said, adjusting the drip beside the bed. "She should make a full recovery soon. We were lucky, honestly. The poison wasn't nearly as heavy as we first thought."I let out a slow breath, some of the tension I had been carrying for days finally easing from my shoulders. I crossed the room and pressed a soft kiss to my mother's forehead, careful not to disturb her rest."I'm going to end all of this with Finn tonight," I whispered to her, even though I knew she couldn't hear me. "And once I do, I'm going to take you somewhere far away, somewhere Marc

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 117 : A Maniac Obsession

    Renata"Finn?" His name stumbled out of me in a broken stutter, disbelief rooting me in place as he stepped fully into the light.I stumbled back a step, my mind scrambling to catch up with what my eyes were telling me. Guilt slammed into me hard, and suddenly everything clicked into place at once, the messages, the threats, the mysterious number that had haunted me for days. After Finn had helped me before, after everything he had done, I had promised him a date, one simple date in return. I had seen the obsession living behind his eyes even then, had recognized it for what it was, and yet I had made the promise anyway. And then I had failed to keep it.I remembered the way he used to look at me back then, too intense for the small favors he did, too eager whenever I so much as glanced his way. I had told myself it was nothing, that I was reading too much into it, that a man could not possibly fixate on a single unfulfilled promise the way he seemed to. I had been wrong. Standing her

  • 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

  • FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER   Chapter 115 : I didn't Do it. Yet!

    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

I didn't know we had the attention of everyone, and most especially, my father, who seemed to stand from afar with a smile of approval.That alone made me feel so close to getting the company than ever, bu

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
