The interview had been a success. The video went viral overnight. Thousands of views. Hundreds of comments. Some called them "couple goals." Others weren't convinced it was real.

Jessica sat on the penthouse balcony the morning after, scrolling through reactions on her phone.

"They really believe we're in love", she muttered

under her breath.

Romeo stepped out with two mugs of coffee."Good. That's the point".

She raised an eyebrow as she handed her a mug. "You're making coffee for me now?"

"Don't get used to it", he said, settling into the

chair next to her.

The silence between them wasn't akward anymore. It was...... comfortable. Almost warm.

But Jessica hadn't forgotten what she saw in that drawer. The reports. The truth.

"Are you feeling better today?" She asked carefully.

He didn't answer right away.

"Today's a good day", he said. "I'll take it."

Jessica looked at him. "What happens when they not good?"

"Then i pretend harder"

  • 365 Days With My Fake Husband    Into the Inferno

    The city groaned beneath the weight of it's own destruction. Smoke coiled upward like dying prayers, wrapping the skyline in gray despair. Somewhere beneath it all beneath the chaos, the ruins, and the rain the Syndicate pulsed like a heartbeat of darkness. Jessica led by the way through the shattered streets, boots crunching over glass and ash. Every corner whispered danger. Every shadow carried memory. Romeo and Daniel moved in sync behind her, weapons drawn, eyes sharp.The storm hadn't stopped since the first explosion it only grew louder, angrier, as if sky itself wanted vengeance. "Signal's strong", Daniel muttered, glancing at the handheld tracker. "We're close. Less than half a mile underground".Jessica's eyes flicked toward the collapsed overpass ahead. "Then we go through".They descended into the old subway tunnels, air thick with dust and the metalic scent of brunt circuitry. Graffiti lined the walls remnants of a forgotten

    The night air trembled with the growl of engines. Floodlights cut through the mist, turning the ruined skyline into a battlefield of shadows and steel. From the rooftops, snipers took position their laser sights tracing silent promises of death.Jessica crouched behind a collapsed wall, scanning the streets below. Every instinct screamed that this wasn't just another ambush it was an extermination. "Phase Two", she whispered, voice laced with dread. "They're going all in". Romeo checked his weapon, his jaw tight. "Then so do we".The roar of a gunship echoed above them, shaking the ground as spotlights swept across the debris. Through the static of their comms, a familiar voice crackled. "Targets located. Eliminate without delay".Jessica's blood ran cold. That voice... it was the same operative who had betrayed them back at the safehouse. The same one who had almost killed her. She glanced

    The morning after the explosion came in fragments smoke still lingering in the air, a faint metalic scent of burned steel carried by the wind. Jessica stood on the rooftop of the abandoned factory they'd turned into a temporary base. The city below still buzzed with sirens, chaos, and speculation. News drones zipped overhead, broadcasting flames and broken streets. They had struck a nerve. And now, the Syndicate would srike back. Romeo walked up behind her, the faint limp from last night's blast barely hidden. "We don't have long", he said queitly, his voice steady but taut with exhaustion. "Reports say the Syndicate's already regrouping. They lost suppiles, not soldiers". Jessica didn't look away from the skyline. "Then we hit them again. Harder this time". Michael appeared at the doorway, tapping at a glowing tablet filled with surveillance data. "I intercepted one of their encrypted transmissions", he said. "Th

    The night pressed away against the windows of the safehouse. A storm was coming not just in the skies, but within every soul gathered inside. Jessica stood near the window, her reflection a blur in the glass. Her hands trembled slightly as she gripped the frame. Behind her, Romeo and Michael argued in hushed but sharp tones. "She's not ready", Romeo snapped. "We push now, and we lose everything we've built".Michael's voice was colder. "You mean everything you're afraid to lose. She deserves the truth, even if it breaks her".Jessica turned slowly. "Then say it", she said. "Both of you. Stop fighting around me and start fighting with me".The room feel silent except for the thunder rolling in the distance.Michael's eyes met hers haunted, unyielding. "The Syndicate doesn't just want you for what you know, Jessica. They want you because you're the key".She blinked, confusion flickering across the face. "Key to what?"Ro

    The train tunnels beneath the city smelled of rust and old rain.Drops of water fell from the cracked ceiling, echoing softly in the silence between them.Jessica sat on the cold ground, arms wrapped around her knees, while Romeo checked the entrance again for movement. Michael crouched near a broken console, the glow of his tablet casting pale light across his face.They hadn't spoken in hours. The adrenaline had worn off, leaving only exhaustion and the unspoken question that hung heavy between them.Finally, Jessica broke the silence."Michael", she whispered, her voice trembling, "what did Daniel mean? Why would he say I'm the reason this started?"Michael didn't look up. His jaw flexed, the muscle twitching like he was fighting with himself. "Because", he said finally, "he's not entirely wrong".Romeo turned sharply. "You want to explain that?"Michael exhaled slowly, as if the weight of the truth had been

  • 365 Days With My Fake Husband    Lines of Truth

    The safe house was silent too silent. Rainwater dripped from their clothes onto the cracked concrete floor, pooling around their boots. The faint hum a of an old generator was the only sound breaking the heavy stillness. Jessica sat on an overturned crate, her hands pressed together so tightly her knuckles turned white. Romeo was pacing, every step echoing like a countdown. Michael leaned against the far wall, arms crossed, eyes shadowed with thought. No one spoke. Not until Romeo finally stopped pacing and said, "He was lying". Jessica didn't look up. "You don't know that". "I do", Romeo snapped, voice sharper than he intended. "Daniel's always been a manipulator. You think he just showed up to tell you the truth out of gulit? No. He wanted to break you".Michael exhaled softly, his tone calmer but colder. "Maybe. But the Syndicate doesn't waste resources on mind games without purpose. If Daniel risked exposure,
