PRETEND PRINCESS
Life is not exactly easy for Yuki Roman. With his ailing grandfather to look after, a pile of bills to pay, and rejection after rejection in the job market, desperation gets the better of him and drives him to try an unorthodox approach—dressing up as a woman to get a job at CreedX Technologies.
Enter Creed Malcolm, the ruthless, acid-tongued billionaire CEO who doesn't accept defeat. Unknown to him, his newest "employee" is different from the rest. Yuki's razor-sharp intellect, limitless optimism, and unbreakable spirit begin to dismantle the walls Creed has taken a lifetime to construct.
But when secrets are exposed and loyalties are tried, their lives are turned upside down. As Creed battles his own identity and feelings, Yuki has to decide if love is worth surrendering everything—even his carefully constructed lies.
Will deception ruin their chance at happiness, or will love be the greatest truth?
A steamy, heartwarming romance where opposites attract, secrets clash, and love changes everything.

Chapter: TAKE ME ON A DATEYuki's POVI didn't know my heart could race this fast.I mean seriously, I was sure the idiot piece of machinery was going to burst out of my chest and slap Creed in the face with all the excitement, humiliation, and wee bit of lust churning around in my blood. Hell, I didn't even know any of my internal organs were capable of causing blood and a reaction that fast as I wanted to leap onto him like he was some stunning wall built out of velvet and bricks.We were now on the floor, directly beneath the couch. Kim was passed out completely on the cushions above us, snoring gently like a baby, and Creed was hugging his knees to his chest. We were quiet. Warm. Uncomfortable. Cozy.All of it.I turned to him slowly, not certain yet that he was there, that he'd come so far, that I was looking at him in the dim light of my apartment and not in a memory, or on a billboard. This was real. This was happening."So," I pressed him softly with my elbow, "balloons?"His face turned bright red.Lik

Chapter: START OVERCreed's POVI was sitting here on the porch of this vacant house, standing in front of Yuki's front door as though it contained all the answers to my existence. The sky overhead was growing dark, casting a blueish gray shadow over the street, but I didn't even notice. I was too deep in my head, counting silently, breathing consciously. I kept reminding myself over and over again that I wasn't going to get paranoid. That I wasn't going to assume.But what if I didn't? What if I was right?My jaw clenched.That's why he can't be with me? That's why he walked away initially?Does he have someone else that he loves?Of course he does. He's Yuki. He's everything. Who wouldn't love him?Is he with someone tonight?No. Creed, be sensible.I was trying to be sensible, trying to quench the fire building in my chest, but it was no use. The heat was creeping up my neck, closing in around my chest. This was bad. This wasn't me.But I was furious. Fuck. I was furious.I rubbed my left temple. I ne

Chapter: BABY I'M JEALOUS Creed's POVI sat in what seemed to be an unoccupied house directly across from Yuki's. The sun had gone down, and the only illumination in the house came from the soft white glow of my phone screen. I wasn't even sure the house was unoccupied, but it lacked any indication of life. No lights, no sounds, no bodies. But it did offer an excellent view of the door to Yuki's, and that was all I cared about today.I had passed the morning here, after I'd stood watching him parade down the red carpet like a creature of heaven and stardust. I didn't even care how silly it might have seemed. I wanted to see him once more. I wanted to be there when he turned the handle and returned to his world—perhaps to our world.I first sat up straight, alert. Then my back started slouching, my legs extended on the floor, and I tuned in to the cold wooden floor. I had ordered takeout, something I never do. The food was in a little paper bag now resting empty beside me. I did not even get a decent taste of i

Chapter: GLITTER BALLYuki's POVI walked into today like an actual glitter bomb. My collar glimmered, the tips of my sleeves shone with sparkles, and I'm fairly certain there was confetti embedded in my hair. The XO transformation had been everything. My skin was dewy, my hair was silky smoother than I ever knew it could be, and the entire outfit looked like it was stitched together by the fashion gods themselves. I was Yuki once more. Not the crumbly sad ruin of me that had been running on autopilot in Japan for months. But me.I spotted Creed.I saw him, and my heart just.skipped a beat. Like, it just skipped. He was standing there with this camera, acting like a paparazzi, smiling all bright and pretty. Like the whole thing was something he'd planned weeks in advance, just to make me smile. And I did. I strained my cheeks smiling.But I still had to continue on. I still had to work. I could not just stop and bask in his warmth like a flower in sunlight. I had work to attend to, people to serve, cocktai

Chapter: DAY 3Creed's POVToday had to be different.The basket of food was nice. The balloon arrangement was theatrical. But today? Today had to be unforgettable.I'd become used to people dropping things off at my door. Expected. Easy to ignore. I wanted to disrupt the trend. I needed to turn it up a few notches more, and that meant doing what I do best: going big.So I called in a favor. No, not a favor—a big pull from my best fashion industry contacts. XO Team. The XO Team.If you're anywhere around fashion, you recognize them. Three individuals. One of the nation's leading makeup artists. A fashion designer whose clothes sell for over $600 an item. And the guy with the hair? A wizard with hairs.The XO Crew was coming over to Yuki's house.I warned them about all they should know: his taste, his previous appearances, his bold attitude, the way he would radiate in glitter, and the fact that his closet probably needed a refresh. They were all in. All I had to do was stage the scene.I pulled out

Chapter: DAY 2 GLITTER WARSCreed's POVToday had to be more boisterous.The food basket the previous day had been warm, thoughtful, and polite. Today, I required drama. Something to bring crashing into his world and force him to notice. I did not desire tidy and soft—I desired a pigsty of joy. A reminder of the man he used to be when he could fill an entire room just by walking into it.Yuki hated flowers. He always grumbled about how ridiculous they were. A waste of beauty, he'd grumble. You buy them to die. So I never even thought about it. I chose balloons instead.It sounded easier than it was. I had imagined creating this huge balloon bouquet—sparkly, over-the-top mess. Something I thought he would think was humorous. Something he would laugh at. Something he would remember about me. The problem? Balloons are amazingly combative when you're handling over eighty of them. They burst. They adhere to your fingers. They slide through your grasp and waft to the ceiling before you even get a chance to secure them
