Chapter: KissGiaIt's been two weeks since that chaotic night, since I’ve last set eyes on both Mitch and Vivienne. I’d not returned to the apartment we both shared and had been staying over at my cousin’s.I won't lie. I missed Mitch. Badly.But at the same time, something entirely dark and dangerous had consumed my mind. Maverick. The ghost of his lips still lingered on mine. The warmth of his hand on my jaw still burned.It wasn't right. I should resent him for the heavy strain he had put on Mitch’s and my friendship. Of course, I did but something had changed. And it scared me. The sharp click of fingers drumming on the keyboard echoed through the entire office space. It was another hectic morning in the Moore event planning company where deadlines waited for no one and Madame Jo wouldn't wait to send heads rolling if she found anyone slacking.Yet in the midst of all the Monday morning madness, my mind kept circling to the one man I struggled to forget. Maverick. And worse, that kiss. That

Chapter: HellGia Heidi The fact that the stranger I hired to act as my boyfriend turned out to be Mitch’s fraternal twin makes me want to crawl into a hole and die. How could I know it was him?Who in the world didn't recognize their best friend’s twin? Me, apparently. Embarrassing. To further destabilise my whole existence, Mitch had to announce that he and Vivienne planned on getting married in three months. Enough time for me to pack my more–than–a–decade feelings in the bag and trash it. Now that the novelty of being chosen by my best friend had worn off, I was mad all over again. For last night. For making me believe I had a chance with him in that drunken state. Adeline’s dinner had ended with my head all over the place, Mitch’s continuous glancing my way with disbelief, throat bubbling like he had a thousand words to say. Vivienne’s gobsmacked expression and Maverick being Maverick. Annoying. Infuriating. Stealing and blowing kisses at me, invading my space, and playing the fake b

Chapter: His Fraternal TwinGiaWhat were the chances of that asshole standing me up?He said ‘Yes’ to my offer last night. No debates. No argument. Just Yes. After getting his number, I spent two hours crafting every detail about myself—careful to avoid anything that might expose our arrangement as fake—fully expecting at least a lengthy text thanking me for my time. Instead, all I got was a single-letter response.‘K’Just ‘K’. What even was that supposed to mean? My blood boiled all over again as I stood outside the hotel, eyes fixed on the double tick beneath the address I’d sent over an hour ago. Seen. Read. Ignored. Worst scenario, Ghosted! The more infuriating part, I didn’t even know his name. Vivienne had already texted to ask if she and Mitch could drop by at the hotel to give both my boyfriend and me a ride.An act that definitely didn’t come from the goodness of her heart, but from her relentless need to expose my lie and hand herself and Faye something new to mock me over. She’s been breathing

Chapter: Boyfriend emergencyGiaThe club’s heavy bass didn't only reverberate through the wall but slammed into my heel—blood rushing—jolting me back to the present while absolutely reminding me of what piece of a fucking loser I was.Pain sliced through my head like a honed knife as I held the small shot of tequila to my mouth, ready to take it in one gulp when a text lit up my phone.My heart stopped.“Viv here. Mitch and I just left the restaurant, and somehow your name came up. He thought it’d be fun if you and your boyfriend joined us for a double date after dinner. Osborne is opening a new bar, and honestly, it sounds like the perfect spot for it. We already made reservations for the four of us. Love you.”A scoff left my mouth, my face forming a scowl. What boyfriend? And Mitch would never be involved in this. This was all Vivienne’s idea.I’d barely left the restaurant after faking a stomach-ache because I couldn’t stand Vivienne and Mitch’s PDA’s that were unnecessarily being thrown around in my face li

Chapter: Trap GiaI had sex with my best friend last night after fourteen years of waiting for him to look at me the same way I’d always looked at him. He was drunk. I was half tipsy. When he crushed his lips on mine and stuffed his cock inside of me in the backseat of the taxi, a tear slid down my cheeks.I had won.That was what I thought it was. That was what it was supposed to be until he spilled every last drop of his cum inside of me, and groaned a name that wasn’t mine.Vivienne.His toxic ex.I was mortified. I should have gathered the last bit of self respect, ditch his birthday party and take the next flight home. But that sick part of me clung to the fact that I had misheard him. That he’d said Gia. Not Vivienne. So, I came anyway and right now as I watched him drop on one knee, holding out a diamond ring, I had never felt even more stupid. “Will you marry me?” He asked. Not to me. But her.Each word was like a dagger buried in my chest, twisting my heart as Vivienne squealed. “Yes.
