FAKING IT WITH MY MILLIONAIRE FRIEND
Sophia Hayes is thrilled when she wins a ticket for the exclusive boat cruise she's dreamed of all her life. But her excitement is dampened by a rumor from a trusted source: her millionaire ex-boyfriend, Charles, will also be attending. Determined to avoid the humiliation of facing him single, Sophia convinces her high school friend Robert, a wealthy playboy, to pose as her boyfriend.
Robert agrees, eager to shed his notorious reputation and fend off gold diggers, while also seeking to placate his meddling family. On the lavish cruise, Sophia and Robert's convincing act as a couple quickly captures the attention of social media and the city's gossip columns.
However, things take a turn when Robert detects Sophia's lingering feelings for Charles, and Sophia realizes Robert might never give up his playboy ways. A misunderstanding leads Robert into a one-night stand, while Sophia finds herself dancing with Charles. When Charles publicly declares his love for Sophia, she humiliates him, igniting his desire for revenge.
After the cruise, Sophia and Robert must continue their fake relationship to maintain appearances. The situation becomes increasingly toxic as an anonymous threat promises to expose their charade and Robert's one-night stand results in a pregnancy scare.
Forced to take a family vacation together, Sophia and Robert must navigate their fake relationship in close quarters. As they act intimately to maintain the facade, they begin to confront their true feelings for one another.

Chapter: SILENT CLAIMSSophia sat at the outdoor dinner table, feeling the gentle breeze of the evening against her skin. The dinner, a grand affair hosted for all the cruisers, had been a pleasant experience so far. The food was exquisite, the atmosphere vibrant, and the night sky slowly transitioned into a canvas of stars. She and Robert had spent most of the evening chatting lightly, sipping champagne and enjoying the ambiance. But as she took another sip, Robert’s phone buzzed on the table.He glanced at the screen, muttered something about needing to take the call, and stood up, excusing himself with a polite nod. Sophia watched him stroll a few feet away, his figure highlighted by the soft glow of the outdoor lights.Now alone, she scrolled through her phone absentmindedly, her champagne glass dangling delicately from her other hand. The gentle hum of conversations surrounded her until a pair of voices drifted into her ears, clear enough to catch her attention.“I don’t think they’re in a relationship

Chapter: CAREFUL!!Sophia stepped out onto the balcony, hoping for a breath of fresh air and maybe a view of the ocean. The scene before her was more stunning than she had anticipated. The soft glow of the setting sun cast a warm, golden light over everything, making the water sparkle, and the sheer elegance of the balcony layout took her breath away. But what really caught her eye was the surprise waiting right there—an exclusive, small pool nestled in one corner of the balcony. It was a luxurious touch she hadn’t expected.Her excitement bubbled up immediately. She’d thought their suite was impressive enough already, but this was on another level. She turned, a wide grin spreading across her face, and rushed back into the room. “Robert!” she called, her voice full of the thrill that had taken hold of her. “There’s a pool out here! Can you believe it?” She glanced over at him, practically bouncing as she waited for his reaction.Robert looked up from his iPad, an amused smile tugging at the corner of h

Chapter: LUXURYSOPHIA'S POV The hostess led us down a polished corridor, her heels clicking against the marble floors as we followed in awe. Everything around us screamed opulence—from the crystal chandeliers to the plush carpets lining the hallway. It was like we’d stepped into a world that only existed in glossy magazines and movies. And yet, here we were, soaking it all in like it was made for us. I stole a glance at Robert, who seemed unbothered, his expression cool and composed. Just another day for him, I guess. For me? I couldn’t help but feel like I was getting away with something here.The hostess turned back to us with a smile and gestured down another corridor. "Right this way, please. You’re in the VVIP section," she said, her voice carrying an unmistakable note of respect. I couldn't hide my shock. VVIP? I knew Robert was well-off, but this was next level.I kept quiet, not wanting to seem like a total newbie, but my mind was racing. Most people would’ve been thrilled just to be on the

Chapter: TOURAs we stepped off the yacht and onto the dock where the larger boat was anchored, I took a quick survey of the setup. The boat—a luxurious vessel with sleek lines and a shining exterior—towered over the yachts that had started to gather around. Some other guests were already disembarking their own yachts and making their way up the ramp, mingling, exchanging greetings, laughing. It was a decent crowd, a mix of wealth and status, judging by the designer suits and glamorous dresses. I noted it all, but none of really intrigued me. Boats, parties, all this was pretty standard at this point.Sophia looked around, wide-eyed, her excitement practically radiating off her. It was a look I’d seen before on her—the curiosity, the fascination with the world of luxury, although she still has her elegant touch. I watched as her gaze swept over the dock, from the polished rails of the boat to the crew members in their crisp uniforms. It was amusing seeing her like this, clearly enjoying herself.

Chapter: ON OUR WAYSOPHIA'S POV As Robert and I arrived at the boarding area, I took a moment to take it all in. There was a small crowd gathered, all dressed impeccably, their conversations weaving together in a hum of polished accents and subtle laughter. It felt like the kind of scene where the rich and powerful came to unwind, but still with a sense of formality clinging to them. No one looked too relaxed—everyone here was a bit on display.My eyes scanned the faces, catching glimpses of people I’d only ever seen on magazine covers or social media. To my right, a woman in a sleek black dress adjusted her sunglasses as she took photos by the water’s edge. Definitely a social media influencer. Beside her stood a man whose face I recognized from a viral tech article about his latest app that made millions overnight. He was talking animatedly to a well-dressed older couple, his hands moving in exaggerated gestures, like he was pitching a story rather than just making small talk. And then there was us,

Chapter: DAY 1SOPHIA'S POV The weekend had been… honestly, just so good. I’d be lying if I said it wasn't nice having someone like Robert around. We’d spent hours walking through the garden, and even though the place was way too fancy for what I was used to, it somehow felt natural. Trying new dishes the chef whipped up had turned into a little game, too—some stuff was amazing, and other things… let’s just say I was glad Robert didn’t make fun of me too much when I nearly spat out that one dish. Then there were the movie nights, hours just sinking into the couch, and the light competition of board games. I didn’t even mind that Robert kept winning because it was fun watching him get competitive about things so small. And, okay, we definitely took a few whiskey shots here and there. Not like, drunk, but just enough to feel loose and laugh harder at things that weren’t even that funny. It was the kind of weekend I hadn’t realized I’d needed. Now, though, it was cruise day. The morning had flown

Chapter: AFTER THE BALLIt was Nathan.Noah’s cousin.Even if she already guessed it, seeing him there—alone, with that twisted smirk—made her stomach churn. Sure, he was about Noah’s age, but everything about him felt older… rougher. Scarier. The kind of man you didn’t want near you when no one else was around.She tried to take a step back, but his grip only tightened. One hand still clutching her arm like it belonged to him, the other casually lifting a cigarette to his lips. He took a long drag, eyes raking over her body like she was something laid out for him to sample.“You shouldn’t run off like that,” he said, voice low, almost mocking. “What if something happened to you out here?”She said nothing.She didn’t trust her voice.He took another puff, then leaned in way too close. Close enough that she could feel the heat of his breath, the stench of his cologne, the smoke lingering between them like a curse. And then—he exhaled, slow and deliberate, right into her face.Aurelia flinched, coughing light

Chapter: DANCEAurelia hated that she was affected by him.Noah.She hated how her heartbeat had caught in her throat that morning, how she was still thinking about the warmth of his hands on her waist, the way his voice dropped when he spoke to her. She hated how his distance had stung more than she was willing to admit.He was her boss.That was the line.He’d been kind. Polite. Maybe a little warm. But that was all it was — she was probably just taking it the wrong way. Misreading everything.And with the plans she had for herself — real, grown-up, get-my-life-back plans — she didn’t have space for misplaced feelings.Especially not for someone like him.So she pushed it down.At least she tried toLike she always did.Downstairs, Noah waited near the entrance, dressed in a dark tailored suit that looked like it had been sewn directly onto his frame.

Chapter: LOSING CONTROL NOAH’S POVThe second I saw her choking, everything else around me blurred out.One second she was talking — smiling, soft — and the next, she was clutching her throat.My body moved before my brain even did.I rushed over, wrapped my arms around her from behind, pressing into her stomach the way I remembered from first aid drills I’d learned but never put into real life action- something I never really did paid attention to. She grabbed the glass of water, practically downed it in one gulp.Relief hit me like a damn wave.I turned her around, eyes scanning her face, searching for any sign that she was okay.“You good?”I asked it quietly, but I could hear the tension in my own voice.She nodded.But her eyes were doing that thing — drifting from my lips to my eyes.And fuck, mine were doing the same.We were close.Too close.My hand was still on her waist, and suddenly I became painfully aware of how small she felt under my fingers, how soft her skin was through the thin fabric.Her

Chapter: BREAKFAST Aurelia’s POVMy belly was full, and honestly, I was feeling a hell of a lot better than I did hours ago.I was out on the balcony now, taking in some fresh evening air. The sun had already dipped low — not quite night, but just enough to calm the world down a bit.Noah was somewhere in the house, probably tucked away in his study doing CEO things.I was still enjoying the breeze when I heard footsteps behind me.I didn’t need to turn to know it was him.His sleeves were now rolled up, exposing those annoyingly perfect arms of his.“Zane’s back with your clothes,” he said, eyes fixed on the horizon. “They should be in the room you were earlier.”I glanced at him for a sec.He looked… distant. Or maybe I was just reading too much into it.“Okay,” I said, already turning to leave.“I’m going for a swim in the pool,” he added casually. “You should come. It’ll help you cool off a bit. I’m sure Zane grabbed a swimsuit or something for you.”I gave a small nod and headed back to the room.S
