Love Under False Pretense Chapter 92 Who The Liars Are
“Hey sunshine, your dad just got Ana to sleep,” Madeline said as she sat beside Andrea who was hiding in her room. Her daughter hid her face in between her knees as she hug her legs. “She hates me,” Andrea mumbled. “I feel like all I do nowadays is push the people I love away. And that whatever I do will always have the same result. Any day now and I might do something that you guys will hate me for.” Her mother sighed as she peered out the window to see the night sky. “I did something that I thought was a good thing for you. But ever since then, I regret it. I’m the one who’s scared that you’re going to hate me for it.” Andrea raised her head in confusion. “Mom, what are you talking about?” The older woman noticed a wilting flower by the windowsill. “He didn’t give you a flower today?” Her daughter gave the peony a hostile glare and spat, “I didn’t think to ask when I was screaming at him to leave.” But she wanted to return to the previous topic. “Mom, what are you scared about?”
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 93 Pathetic Excuse For A Human Being
“Why did you agree on doing this again?” Ren began questioning her friend’s sanity. She thought to herself, “What the hell is this woman thinking, talking to that witch’s assistant?”She glanced over at the actress who was humming along the soft music as she watched the trees grow larger as they drove further and further away from the city.“And what in God’s name got you smiling like that?” Her manager asked with a sharp tone.Andrea replied with a smile and sparkling eyes, “I promised my daughter that I’d fix what I did wrong.” Her hope was reinvigorated after that talk with Madeline. Maybe it was time to trust again and just believe that Sebastian was telling the truth.Then that meant that she was too harsh with him the last time they talked. Rather, the last time he tried to communicate but all she did was be a stubborn mule. Andrea hated the fact that she did the same thing to him as Sebastian did before. Because she knew how painful it was to be told by the person you love how
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 94 Love Under False Pretense
A gray sky loomed over the city as Sebastian started another dreary day at work. Although it was the opposite for his employees. Every person who passed by him would pause, smile, and say, “Thank you, Sir. We heard about what you told the Prestons.” It was his job as the head of the company to protect them and he felt inadequate that it had to reach more than one woman speaking up before they did something about it. As he got inside his office, Sebastian turned the TV on. The Elysian Pictures statement regarding Daniel’s case was being read. “-as is dictated in his contract. But most importantly, our company will ensure a safe space for everyone where they can work comfortably. And as such, we will continue with our internal investigations of the alleged accusations. We hope that this serves as a warning that no one is excused from such behaviors, no matter who they are.” Sebastian switched it off after, knowing that this would be the media’s topic for some time. “Thank goodness y
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 95 Aching To Hold You
Soaked pieces of clothes were strewn all around the chairman’s house as Sebastian and Andrea struggled to walk towards a spare bedroom while stripping, kissing, and everything in between. Andrea never realized that this was the first time she had let a man touch her the way Sebastian was doing now ever since Alvis’ assault. The effect Sebastian had on her was so electrifying that just the hungry way he claimed her mouth was enough for her to come undone. She mindlessly bucked her hips against his still-clothed lower torso. A rock-hard erection let her know that he felt the same way. Needing air after some time of their tongues tangling, the two parted ever so slightly. But Sebastian didn’t waste time and lavished her neck with licks and kisses. “You don’t know how much I’ve been aching to hold you like this again,” the gruff way he said it caused Andrea’s knees to weaken, making her buckle in his arms. He then took this as an opportunity to pick her up to finally get inside the ro
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 96 Full House
“So I’m guessing you two are on good terms now, huh?” Ren mused after seeing Andrea and Sebastian share another glance that could only be described as coy. The billionaire was visiting the Fray house and at the moment was spending his after-work time with his daughter.“Put it on top. There. Not the owange one! It has to be bwue!“ Anastasia pointed and ordered Sebastian and Robert where to place the blocks as they assembled a building that replicated her father’s company.Andrea giggled at her daughter’s bossiness. Who else but her father would she get that kind of attitude from?She scoffed at her best friend, “Of course, we should be for Ana’s sake.” It had been days since they got back together again. Though the two chose to keep their relationship hidden for a while, at least until they’ve sorted out the Lilith issue.Ren rolled her eyes and sighed, “Oh please, Andy. Even a blind person would easily know that you two are on more than good terms. If you know what I’m saying.” She w
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 97 I Will Never Heal
When Sebastian heard Andrea yell out, he was ready to attack the person and run amok in her house. But when she turned to see who it was, Andrea was already squeezing the guy with a bear hug. “Oh, it’s you! Gosh, I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t!” She blurted out, her chest still heaving at high speed. “I’m sorry, Andy. I was rushing because I thought I was late. They told me to be here hours ago, that’s why I just barged in like that. Sorry,” Darren replied, giving her a light, comforting pat on the back. Sebastian’s posture stiffened as the Simon couple eyed the three of them cautiously. Robert was about to get up from the couch to be beside his boss, in case worse came to worst. But Ren quickly pulled her down. “You disrupt this drama, I will go on a rampage,” she warned him. Still oblivious to the brittle atmosphere that was created by Darren’s sudden arrival, Andrea continued to face her friend while holding both his hands. She began to bombard him with apolog

“The evidence you gave us is very good. But a confession from Quinn would solidify this case so that the jury doesn’t find reasonable doubt to convict her,” the counselors and detective working on Lilith’s case told Andrea’s group.“We can arrest her now on these grounds, but we’re very sure that she would clam up and call the best lawyers their money could buy. And we all know how that will turn out.”They became familiar with the process. Lilith’s lawyers would talk directly with the court that she was not being lawfully held despite the mounting evidence against her. She wouldn’t even spend a night in jail because of who she was. A millionaire heiress so of course, the judge would favor her. Then she’d get out and wreak havoc into their lives as if nothing happened.Their hearts sank after hearing that all their efforts could do was a small dent in Lilith's case.“There’s a possibility that we can win this case,” the lead prosecutor, Monique Perrin, informed them. “But her admittin
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 99 Toughest Lecture Of Her Life
“You heard what Monique said. We can only secure Lilith’s conviction if we get a confession. I know it’s a shot in the dark. But if there’s a possibility of Alvis having a recording of Lilith, then it’s worth it,” Andrea firmly said.It made Darren sigh heavily. He scratched his nape, daunted by Andrea’s strategy. He asked, “And you’re not having any second thoughts about this?”She nodded her head sharply. “I’m a hundred percent sure. Sebastian could only hold off Lilith’s scheme on the wedding for so long.”“What does he think about this?”He noticed her flinch when he asked the question. “He doesn’t know,” Darren answered for himself.Andrea grimaced at the fact and said, “I’ll tell him once it’s done. That way, we could save ourselves the trouble.” She only confided with Darren about her plan because he was the most understanding of all her friends.“I’ll go with you,” Darren insisted. These past days of hanging out with just the two of them brought him back to the past. Back when

Love Under False Pretense Epilogue
“This, so far, is what I’ve decided to put in my book. If you’re reading this right now, then that means that I finally chose to let the world know my story. You may or may not have heard of me. I’ve been introduced to many names. Cobbett, Scout, Adams, and Fray. But I don’t want to let any of those affiliations define who I am. What I choose to do after everything that happened to me is what I believe determines me.” “Andy! Darren just texted. He and his wife are almost here. We can't miss your second Oscar nomination together!” Sebastian called out from outside the study. It was funny how in the end, Darren became much closer to Sebastian that it made Andrea jealous rather than the other way around. “Coming!” Andrea answered as she contentedly sealed the paper and placed it on top of a hardbound, azure book. She looked at it for a few seconds, getting lost in every letter. “Momma! Auntie Wen said to come quick!” A small boy with curly hair and brown eyes with golden flecks grapple
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 103 He Saved You
They couldn’t fully put everything behind them as Lilith was still nowhere to be found, but Sebastian and Andrea knew that it was time to move on. Maybe it was true what other people said about her. Maybe Lilith had found a reason that made her leave her life.After more than a year of coming to terms with their tragic past, Sebastian once again popped the question. He had flown everyone to the private island in the Maldives that he had rented before.“You bought it?” Andrea almost screamed when she learned that Sebastian didn’t rent the island for their honeymoon. Instead, he made it seem like he just leased it.“Yeah, I didn’t want to say anything because you were so judgemental of rich people. I didn’t want your first impression of me as your husband to be that of someone who buys things excessively,” Sebastian fibbed.He had already talked to everyone about his proposal except of course with Andrea. Eugene immediately agreed while Madeline gave him a stern warning and advice.So t
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 102 Get The Word Out
Weeks turned to months and no sign of the wanted criminal had emerged. Despite all their efforts, she was too slick in evading and hiding from authorities.But finally, the Adams, Frays, and their loved ones had slowly started to build a semblance of a normal life.After her warrant was sent out, Sebastian had also released his statement regarding the matter. He explained to the public how and why this all went down. They decided to keep it vague, not wanting to share every small detail. But enough for the people to understand what happened.And in this duration, the same people who hurled hateful comments at the actress now give her support. As they began to understand that the information they’d been fed was lies, they turned against the source of these. Lilith Quinn.And now, Andrea Fray had the opportunity to tell her story in her own words.Sat on a powder blue couch and facing a whole group of lights and cameras from all angles, the actress recounted the stories that she chose t
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 101 A Multi-Billionaire Who Can Hold A Grudge
“He’s a good man, Harris,” Sebastian told Andrea who was cuddling against his chest. The two sat in her yard, enjoying the light sea breeze that passed by.“I know, that’s why he became my friend, “ she replied. “Look at you, getting all warmed up with Darren.” He didn’t know but Andrea was ecstatic that her partner and her closest male friend would be on good terms.“I’m not,” Sebastian tried to deny. “It’s only because he told me about you going to Clayton by yourself and the other stuff he did for you.”“That’s why I wish he could find his own happiness.” Andrea looked up at the sky and coincidentally, found a shooting star. For a brief moment, she closed her eyes and made the exact wish.“Why didn’t you wish for yourself or for me?” Sebastian questioned her with a sulky expression.“Are you kidding? I’ve already found my happiness.” Andrea gestured at where they were and who they were with.In front of them was Anastasia. The toddler was so engrossed with the film that was playing
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 100 Nothing But A Distant Memory
“You are not your fear, Andrea. You are not your trauma,” Andrea said her usual chant as she got out of her car and faced the menacing high, concrete walls of Fort Havenshaw.“I can do this, I chose to do this,” she whispered with eyes shut. The dread had finally caught up to her. Andrea’s bravado had waned the nearer she was to that person.When she told the hesitant Darren that she could do it, Andrea thought that she could. But now, she’s convinced that it was just false toughness.Andrea couldn’t feel the tip of her fingertips as her whole body had turned rigid. As opposed to the bright, sunny day that graced them, an unknown source of penetrating cold had entered her body. It didn’t plan to leave anytime soon.A part of her said, “It’s not too late to turn back. You still haven’t gotten inside the prison.”Andrea’s eyes went back and forth, from the fort entrance to her car handle. A drop of sweat had begun to roll down the side of her face. “Shit!” She exclaimed as Andrea reache
