He was supposed to marry my sister.
Instead, he offered me a contract… and a ring that was never meant for me.

SAMANTHA
When my sister’s ex asks me to be his fake fiancée to protect his image and secure his company’s IPO, I should say no.
Protect my heart. Keep my distance.
I’m in my final year at the Academy of Fine Arts.
My degree—and my exhibition—are both on the line.
But I’ve loved Alexander Delaunay for years.
Silently. Hopelessly.
So I say yes.
Between staged kisses for the cameras, late-night life drawing sessions that grow dangerously intimate, and a chemistry neither of us can ignore, the line between fake and real starts to blur.
But loving a man like Alexander comes at a price.
The harder I fall for him, the more my life unravels.
My parents reject me. My sister hates me. My artwork is being sabotaged. My degree is at risk.
Little by little, every part of my life is falling apart.
And Alexander?
He might just be the one who breaks me for good.

ALEXANDER
Sam was supposed to be a solution.
A strategic move.
A way to avoid scandal before my company goes public.
I control everything.
I anticipate everything.
I don’t make mistakes.
She was never supposed to become my weakness.
And yet, she’s the only thing in my life that feels real.
The only thing I can’t control.
When everything starts slipping through my fingers, she’s the one who gets hurt.
Not because I want to hurt her.
Because I don’t know how to stop.
Now I’m left with one impossible choice:
Let her go… or become the man she deserves.
