MY FAKE BOYFRIEND MY BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND
After being publicly betrayed by her unfaithful ex-boyfriend and her two-faced best friend, Ariana is determined not to show up at their high-society wedding alone. In a moment of desperation, she heads to the Rosewood Hotel to hire a professional actor to play the part of her devoted, successful new boyfriend.
However, a case of mistaken identity leads her to "hire" the wrong man. Enter Adrian Sterling: a cold, powerful billionaire who is actually at the hotel to close a multi-million dollar deal. Intrigued by Ariana’s fiery spirit and her ridiculous proposition, Adrian decides to play along, stepping into the role of a lifetime.
As Mark and Lucia grow increasingly suspicious of Adrian’s impossible perfection, Ariana finds herself trapped in a web of lies with a man she can’t control. What started as a one-night play evolves into a high-stakes contract that takes Ariana from her modest life into the exclusive world of Ford City Heights. Between "fake" kisses that feel far too real and a billionaire who refuses to follow her script, Ariana must navigate a world of corporate sabotage and old-money secrets. She wanted a distraction to save face, but she ended up with a storm that is about to rewrite her entire life.

Chapter: Chapter 8- Terms and conditions Ariana didn’t expect him to come so quickly. She had barely put her phone down the night before when she sent the message, and now, less than twenty-four hours later, she was standing in her apartment staring at the door like it had personally offended her. The knock came once. Firm. Controlled. Unhurried. Her heart skipped, and she hated that it did. Ariana walked to the door, trying to keep her expression neutral before pulling it open. Adrian stood there. Exactly as composed as she remembered. Tailored suit. Calm eyes. That same quiet presence that made everything around him feel… smaller. Like he was used to walking into rooms and owning them without trying. “You move fast,” she said, crossing her arms lightly. “You asked for an extension,” he replied. “I prefer to handle things immediately.” Of course he did. Ariana stepped aside. “Come in.” He walked in without hesitation, his gaze sweeping the apartment once—not judgmental, just observant. Like he was memorizing

Chapter: Chapter 7 — The Things People Start to NoticeAriana woke up to her phone buzzing again. Not once. Not twice. It kept vibrating on the bedside table until she finally opened her eyes with frustration. She stared at the screen. Cassy. She hesitated for a second, then answered. Before she could even greet her, Cassy’s voice rushed in immediately. “Okay, listen to me very carefully.” Ariana blinked slowly, sitting up. “That’s not how you say good morning.” “This isn’t a good morning situation,” Cassy replied. Ariana rubbed her forehead. “What happened now?” There was a short pause, like Cassy was choosing her words carefully. Then she said it. “It’s Mark.” Ariana’s expression changed slightly. “What about him?” “He’s asking questions.” Ariana frowned. “About what?” “About your boyfriend.” Ariana froze for a second. “My… what?” Cassy didn’t slow down. “The man you showed up with at the wedding. He’s trying to figure out who he is.” Ariana sat up straighter now. “He thinks he’s fake?” Cassy let out a short laugh. “

Chapter: Chapter 6-The First crack in the actThe drive back from the Rosewood Hotel seemed to stretch, an eternity of pavement and passing scenery. Ariana sat by the window, her arms crossed, watching Ford City lights pass her by. The world outside appeared as it always did: pedestrians, traffic, the flickering glow of neon. But inside her, nothing felt right. Her thoughts cycled through the same images, a relentless loop that felt like a jammed projector. Lucia’s fake smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Mark’s stunned expression that quickly shifted into suspicion. The way everyone in that room had slowly turned their attention to Adrian… like he had quietly taken control of the entire atmosphere without even trying. And Adrian. She glanced at him again. He was sitting beside her like none of it mattered. One arm resting on the door, posture relaxed, face calm. He was looking out the window like he wasn’t just involved in one of the most humiliating nights of her life. That calmness annoyed her more than anything else.

Chapter: Chapter 5-The hired actor arrivesThe music ended a moment later, and polite applause rippled across the dance floor as couples began stepping away. Adrian didn’t let go of my hand immediately as we walked toward the side of the room.I reached for a glass of champagne from a passing waiter.“You’re getting comfortable,” Adrian observed, his voice low, teasing.“Shouldn’t I?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.“You hired me to look convincing.”“That’s true,” I admitted.He leaned slightly closer. “And I’m doing an excellent job.”“Don’t get arrogant,” I murmured, trying to hide the small smile tugging at my lips.“I prefer confident,” he replied smoothly.Before I could respond, someone approached us again.Cassy.Certainly.She stopped in front of us, holding her champagne glass like she had just uncovered the most scandalous story of the night.“Ariana,” she said slowly, tilting her head as if savoring every word. “You’ve been holding out on us.”“I have not,” I said, forcing my voice to remain even.“You definitely have

Chapter: Chapter 4-Suspicion The applause slowly faded as Mark and Lucia finished their first dance. Guests began returning to their tables, and the band shifted to softer music while waiters moved through the room with trays of food and champagne. I sat beside Adrian, trying to look calm even though my mind was still racing. Everything tonight had gone differently than I planned. Too many eyes had been on us during the dance earlier, and Mark had definitely noticed. I could feel it every time I looked up. His attention kept drifting back to our table. I reached for my glass of water. “You look like you’re preparing for battle,” Adrian said quietly. I glanced at him. “Maybe I am.” He leaned back in his chair, looking far too relaxed for someone who had just spent the evening pretending to be a stranger’s boyfriend. “You’re doing fine,” he added. “That’s easy for you to say.” Before he could reply, someone approached our table. Of course. Cassy. She pulled out the empty chair across from us without e

Chapter: Chapter 3: A Dance of Pretenses The ceremony started, and I tried my best to stay composed. Weddings were never my scene, and tonight felt worse because of the circus surrounding me. My arm was linked with Adrian’s, and I had to remind myself repeatedly: act natural. Act like he wasn’t a hired stranger, act like you weren’t seething every time Mark smiled at someone else, act like you didn’t want to storm out. Adrian moved with ease, offered polite smiles to the guests who stared, and nodded when someone complimented him, all without looking stiff or fake. I didn’t know whether to be grateful or irritated at how good he was at this. I scanned the crowd. Cassy was lurking somewhere near, plotting her snarky remarks. And then there was Lucia, glowing in her dress, laughing at things I couldn’t hear, smiling like she’d never done anything cruel. The memory of what I had walked in on—Mark and her—burned in my chest, and I clenched my jaw. Adrian leaned slightly toward me. “You okay?” I nodded, trying to hide the sh
