Fake Dating My Ex's Boss
mabbywrites17 · Ongoing · 96.6k Words
Introduction
Sienna Blake isn’t looking for love—not after her last relationship left her with more scars than memories. But when her meddling mother sets her up on a blind date, she agrees just to keep the peace. What she doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face with Julian Thorne—her arrogant ex’s boss, a ruthless lawyer with a reputation as cold as the suits he wears.
Julian Thorne—high-powered attorney, cold-blooded strategist, and her ex’s dangerously attractive boss. They met once, a year ago, at a company gala. He thought she was a gold digger clinging to her meal ticket. She thought he was an arrogant snob with a god complex.
Now he’s her blind date.
Julian has his reasons for going along with the charade. Sienna might be the key to taking down a betrayal that nearly cost him everything. All he has to do is play nice, get close, and keep his heart out of it.
But the more time they spend pretending, the more real it starts to feel. And when secrets from the past resurface, they’ll have to choose: continue the lie—or risk everything for the truth.
From fake to fate—what if the biggest lie becomes their only truth?
Chapter 1
Sienna's POV
"It was beyond epic, it was just like in the movies, you know that big plot twist and all," Lila, my all-time best friend, ranted on. Her voice blared through my AirPods, her excitement quite contagious.
"I am sure your client can't even believe you figured it out, playing victim when he was the culprit all along, quite bold and sinister if you ask me," I said.
"Old man probably thought I was horrible at my job and thought he would easily take himself off the suspect list since he had hired me himself, little did he know that my loyalty only lies with me. All I had to do was dig into some files and documents, then make a few calls, and boom, I got the contract for the company, like it didn't mean anything," She chuckled.
"Little did he know, he hired the best PR agent anyone could ask for," I replied with a bright smile on my face at how excited she was.
"Oh, please, don't flatter me, I just try my best." She blushed, making me roll my eyes. We both knew she was damn good at what she does but she just loves to hear it every single time.
"I will not be fuelling your already oversized ego this afternoon, I have work to get back to, maybe we could meet up later for celebratory drinks," I suggested, my eyes immediately falling to my phone on my desk, as it lit up, signalling a notification had just come in.
"Sounds like a solid plan," She chuckled.
"Fuck this, Not again" I cursed out as I opened the message I had received.
"What's wrong?" Lila asked all traces of excitement leaving her voice as she suddenly sounded serious.
"My Mother is really trying to kill me," I complained as I read through the details she had sent.
"Let me guess, another one of her famous blind dates?" Lila said, her voice calmer now.
"The fucking third one this week, even if I was some stripper looking for a good lay" I groaned'
Lila bursted out in a fit of laughter at my description before replying, "Come on, it is not that bad," She said amidst laughter.
"Easy for you to say, your Mum isn't trying to hook you up with every Bachelor in town," I shot.
"Well, it really sounds good, at least you don't have to do it yourself, right?" She joked, earning a loud sigh from me.
"This is not funny, so stop laughing, this is too much."
"I know, but she means well, it is obvious she is doing a terrible job at showing that, but she is really about this shell you have crawled into, and if I didn't know you so well I would say you are starting to act like some depressed old woman" She replied.
"Fuck you" I cursed out as she laughed loudly.
"You could try talking to her, though, you both may come to an agreement that suits you both," She advised.
"You know what, I would do just that."
"Exactly, I have to go now, but don't forget drinks later, date or no date," She added a little warning in her voice, making me smile.
"I won't forget," I chuckled.
"Great, later girl," She said softly before ending the call, and without hesitation, I dialed Mum's number immediately.
"No, Mum, not this again," I grumbled once she picked up on the first ring like she knew I was going to call.
"Well, hello to you too, my princess," Mum replied calmly, a hidden laughter in her voice.
"Sorry Mum, how are you?" I asked, putting my current anger at bay, if I was going to talk myself out of this, then I needed to be as calm as I could be so I could reason this with her.
"Much better, I am good, my child, and you?" She asked.
"I am okay, just trying to finish up all I have left for the day," I answered.
"Beautiful, you should be there by 7pm sharp, wouldn't want to keep the young gentleman waiting now, would you?" She said in a singsong voice, I can literally make out the little gestures she would be making with her hand right now, and the smirk on her face.
"Mum, I am going nowhere," I said adamantly, stating the exact reason I had called.
"Why not?"She asked, sounding shocked, making me chuckle a little. She has got to be kidding me.
"Really, Mum, this is the third blind date you have arranged for me this week, and it's Friday," I replied, stating the obvious.
"And? I don't understand, "she said, actually sounding confused.
"Mum, it is not working out, give up already, please," I pleaded, rolling my eyes as a flashback of how the past month has been.
From one date to another and all of them and I mean every single one of them always found a way to get on my fucking nerves just few minutes into the night. The last guy literally brought out a pack of condoms from his back pocket with a bright smile on his face when I asked if he was interested in dessert. On the first freaking date, maybe it was supposed to be funny or sexy, I don't know but I walked out right after so I guess I will never know.
"That's because you wouldn't give any of them any chance to even introduce themselves properly, and then you are off to that apartment of yours where no one can access you," Mum replied.
"You really can't blame me, Mum, I don't know where you get these men from, but they are not for me, they are not even close to it," I shot, it doesn't seem to me like I am getting anywhere with her right now.
"We both know I don't agree with you, maybe when you stay for a whole night without taking off after a few minutes then I may just consider listening but till then I still have a long list of fine gentlemen quite excitement to date you and trust me you don't want to even imagine" She said her voice firm and adamant, her way of telling me she was being serious.
"Mum," I tried, knowing fully my chances of getting out of this are pretty slim.
"This is not up for discussion, my child. Sienna Elise Blake, you need to put yourself out there again, you can't keep hiding in that apartment of yours, you can't heal if you don't push yourself out of your comfort zone" Mum said her voice firm, she used my full name, that's enough to know there is no way out of this.
These exact same words have been her mantra for the past month since the incident, since the day everything fell apart, happened exactly like Mum and Lila always said it was going to happen, if only I had listened to them.
"If I stay for the complete dinner without leaving, you would stop with the dates, right?" I asked.
"I would give you a month break from them but if you don't come out from the hole you are slowing getting yourself trapped in then I would pick off from where I left of and there would be no backing out" She said and I knew she meant every word, this is my chance to get her off my back even if it is just for a month, it is just one night right, what's the worst that can happen?

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
