Romeo didn't flinch. His eyes stayed locked on hers, steady, unwavering. "They think we're weak", he said finally, his voice low and rough. "They think we'll break".Jessica's lips trembled, but she forced herself to meet his gaze. "Then let's show them we're not".The words tasted like fire on her tongue. For too long, she had been running from shadows from fears, from scars she thought would never heal. But now standing here, with Romeo's warmth grounding her she realized something had shifted. The fear was still there, but it no longer ruled her.Romeo brushed his thumb across the back of her hand, gentle, almost tender, before his tone hardened again. "This isn't about revenge anymore. It's about survival. It's about us".

Hope was fragile. Jessica knew that better than anyone. It could slip through your fingers in an instant, leaving you clutching at nothing but air. Yet as she looked across at Romeo, the silence between them wasn't heavy anymore - it was alive, humming with the weight of all that had been broken, and all that might still be repaired.Romeo shifted, his dark eyes fixed on her with an intensity that almost unnerved her. "Jessica", he began slowly, "you know things won't get easier. People won't just forget. The choices we've made... they're not going away".Jessica exhaled, her chest tightening. He was right. Their lives weren't fairy tales they were messy, tangled, stitched together with mistakes and regrets. And yet, wasn't that what made them real?"I don't want easy", she whispered. "I just want honest. No more lies. No more pretending".Romeo's lips curved into the faintest of smiles. "Honesty", he repeated. "That's dangerous territory".
365 Days With My Fake Husband The Weight of Tomorrow
The silence stretched between them, soft and full, like a thread neither dared to cut. Jessica leaned her head against Romeo's shoulder, feeling the slow rise and fall of his chest. For so long, the future had been a shadow-something to run from, something that pressed down with fear. But now, for the first time, it felt like something they could shape together. Romeo tightened his arm around her, as if sensed the same fragile shift. "Jess", he murmured, his voice low, roughened by all the things left unsaid, "do you ever think about what comes next?" She hesitated. "Every day". Her fingers curled into the fabric of his shirt. "But before, it was just.... survival. Now, i don't know. Maybe it could be more". Romeo titled his head, studying her. The flicker of determination in his eyes was undeniable. "More means risk. More means we stop hiding. Are you ready for that?" Jessica swallowed hard. Ready. The word felt dangerous

365 Days With My Fake Husband Fractured Loyalities
The morning sun crept through the blinds, thin silvers of gold cutting across the darkened apartment. Jessica stirred awake, her body still heavy from the storm of emotions the night before. For a brief, fragile moment, it almost felt normal her head on Romeo's chest, his steady heartbeat grounding her in ways nothing else could. But normal didn't exist for them anymore. Romeo was already awake, his arm draped around her protectively, but his eyes were fixed on the ceiling, distant, calculating. She knew that look too well it was the face he wore when he was already at war in his mind, playing out battles she couldn't yet see. "You're not here", she whispered softly. His gaze shifted down to her, as if pulled back from someone far away. A faint smile tugged at his lips, but it didn't reach his eyes. "I'm always here with you, Jess. But we can't pretend the world outside stopped because we had one good night"
365 Days With My Fake Husband Beneath the Surface
The night streched long, heavy with silence. Jessica lay awake beside Romeo, her eyes fixed on the ceiling as questions clawed at her. Who could it be? Who among them was close enough to betray, and cruel enough to put them in danger? Romeo's steady breathing told her he had drifted into a shallow, restless sleep. His hand still rested against hers, as though even in unconsciousness he refused to let her go. That small act gave her comfort, but it didn't chase away the unease sitting in her chest. When dawn finally bled into the room, Jessica slipped out of bed queitly. She padded across the apartment, her fingers brushing over the scattered papers on Romeo's desk. Notes, names, phone numbers pieces of a puzzle she wasn't sure she wanted to solve. One name, circled twice, caught her eyes. Her breath hitched. Before she could reach for it, Romeo's voice cut through the stillness. "Jess". She froz
365 Days With My Fake Husband Fractured Promises
The warmth of that moment lingered between them, fragile and fleeting, like sunlight breaking through storm clouds. Jessica wanted to hold onto it, to believe that nothing could shatter what she and Romeo were rebuilding. But reality had a way of creeping in, of reminding them that the world outside their bubble wasn't so forgiving. Romeo's phone buzzed. Once. Twice. Relentless. Jessica stiffened as he hesitated to reach for it. His eyes flickered to hers, gulit written in the silence. "Are you going to answer it?" she asked sofly, though her heart was already racing. He didn't move. "It's business". Her lips pressed into a thin line. Business. That was always his shield, the wall he used when he didn't want to explain. She had promised herself she wouldn't doubt him, but old scars burned fresh whenever secrets lingered between them. "Business or trouble?"
