She became the fake girlfriend of the billionaire who ruined her life
He’s ruthless. She’s vengeful. Four months. One deal. No feelings.
But soon, the lies cut deep… and neither of them can tell if the obsession is still pretend.
Amira Santis, a sharp-tongued investigative journalist, ruins billionaire Montez De Vitalio’s company with one exposé. In return, he blacklists her. Her career is over.

Now with them both in a compromising situation, Amira takes his offer to pretend to be his girlfriend in the eyes of the public for a period of four months in exchange that he pays her and gets back at her cheating ex, who also happened to be his cousin but Amira is not the same girl he once destroyed. She has secrets of her own. And Montez? He didn’t plan on falling for the one woman who swore to ruin him.
Their lies ignite an obsession neither can control, and soon, love and war become indistinguishable.

Chapter: CHAPTER 111- A FUTURE TOGETHER The courtroom was suffocatingly silent, the kind of silence that seemed to tighten around the chest and steal every breath. Today was the final hearing where judgment would finally be made. The air smelled of wood polish and ink, heavy with the anticipation of what was to come. Amira sat tall in the second row, her black suit crisp, and her hair pinned neatly at the nape of her neck as two of her guards stood by the door. She forced her face to remain calm even though her pulse hammered in her throat. Beside her, Enzo leaned forward, his dark eyes tracking every flicker of movement at the front. In the absence of Montez, his presence had become a constant in the weeks of hearings. Loyal, protective, and never once letting her walk into the courtroom without his support. On the other side of the aisle sat the defendants. Alessandro, expressionless in his navy suit, as though he still bel

Chapter: CHAPTER 110- THE MAN SHE NOW UNDERSTOOD The week after the bloody confrontation outside the first gala passed in a blur of headlines, hospital visits, and whispered speculation. Amira and Montez refused to let the chaos tear them apart. Instead, they clung tighter. The world saw them together again, arriving hand in hand, shielding each other from every storm. Tonight, Montez was hosting a second high-profile gala at the glass-domed Solara Grand, a dazzling spectacle designed to calm the board and reassure shareholders that his empire remained unshaken. Glittering chandeliers bathed the hall in golden light. Cameramen and journalists crowded the red carpet, their flashes like a constant barrage. Amira stepped out of the sleek black car in a gown of midnight silk, her hand laced with Montez’s. She had chosen simplicity over extravagance, her hair swept back, and her eyes lined with purpose. Montez followed, commanding i

Chapter: CHAPTER 109-WATCH HER BLEED The chaos of the gala bled into the night air. Guests stumbled out in clusters, their voices pitched in alarm as rumors twisted with every breath. Camera flashes flickered like lightning, reporters kept screaming out questions, while security scrambled to contain the uproar inside. Yet outside, in the shadows beyond the grand marble steps, a darker story unfolded. Amira had slipped away, desperate for a moment of air. The crowd, the lights, and the confrontation were already weighing on her. She pulled her coat tighter against the cold night and hurried down the steps, her heels clicking sharply. Her mission here was done so she had no reason to stay or even— That was when a hand snatched her arm, yanking her out of her path and thoughts. She gasped in fright. “Going somewhere, Amira?” Nathan’s voice was a hiss in her ear. She jerked, eyes wide. “Let m

Chapter: CHAPTER 108- SAVING HIS EMPIRE The gala glittered beneath chandeliers dripping with crystals, their light refracting into shards across the marble floor. The Vitalio Mansion’s ballroom had been transformed into a spectacle of wealth and control. Waiters floated past with trays of champagne, photographers clicked relentlessly at every corner, and the air buzzed with money, ambition, and something else: expectation. For Montez, this night was supposed to restore his empire’s dignity. Suits whispered of stability, of contracts renewed and investors reassured. Yet beneath his immaculate tuxedo and cool demeanor, his gut was taut as a wire. He knew his enemies would not waste such an opportunity. On the far side of the room, Nathan leaned against the bar in a tailored black suit, a glass of scotch swirling in his hand. His smile was predatory as he watched Montez exchange pleasantries with shareholders. A

Chapter: CHAPTER 107- A LITTLE HELP Amira hadn’t disappeared into her small apartment to lick her wounds. At least, not entirely. She had chosen silence for the cameras and the world, but inside those walls she worked, her mind sharp, and her instincts firing again. She might have been dragged through disgrace in the boardroom, but her training as a journalist wasn’t dead. If Nathan and Alessandro thought she would fold and vanish, they were wrong. Her first step was reaching out to the only colleague she still trusted, someone who had always valued truth over convenience. Late one evening, she sat in a café tucked into a quiet street, the glow of the streetlamps casting long shadows across the pavement. She looked up as the door opened and a woman in a navy trench coat stepped inside. “Elena,” Amira greeted softly, standing to hug her. Elena pulled back with a worried look. “You shouldn’t have asked me

Chapter: CHAPTER 106- CARRYING MY CHILD After that day, Amira left the city like a ghost fleeing the ruins of a burned house. No goodbyes. No lingering looks. Just silence. The apartment she rented was small, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood where no one asked questions. It was the opposite of everything Montez represented: modest furniture, soft light, a faint smell of lavender. She filled her days with the basics of walking to the grocery shop, buying fresh fruit, and cooking small meals she rarely finished. Sometimes she lingered at the bookstore, running her hands over the covers of baby books she wasn’t sure she had the courage to buy. Her evenings ended curled up on the worn sofa, staring at her phone, willing it to light up with a message from him. It never did. What she didn’t know was that she was never alone. Montez’s man followed her every step, a shadow wrapped in ordinary clothes.
