Fake and Real Heir
Maya Vance hates Liam Cross. The Upton University cheer captain and heir to a billion‑dollar empire has been raised to despise everything about the soccer captain and his family. So when Liam slides a fake engagement contract across a coffee shop table, she laughs in his face. Then her father calls. Sign it. Or lose everything. The SEC is investigating both companies for insider trading. A fake romance between the heirs is the only PR move that can save their families from ruin. Six months of pretending. A diamond ring that feels like a leash. A Homecoming crown they must win together while their families secretly undermine each other. But Maya doesn't expect Liam to hold her hand like it matters. She doesn't expect him to defend her when anonymous threats appear in her locker. And she definitely doesn't expect to miss her period. Two pink lines change everything. Now she's carrying the unexpected heir to both empires – the one thing that could either end the feud or trap her forever. As they race to uncover who forged the SEC emails and exposed their families, Maya realizes the biggest threat isn't the villain trying to destroy them. It's the boy she was never supposed to love. And the life growing inside her.

CONTRACT ENGAGEMENT: Unexpected Heir Chapter 7: The Locker
MAYAI found it between seven and eleven on a Wednesday morning.Practice ran from seven to nine, full two hour session for the homecoming showcase routine, and when I got back to the locker room afterward my combination lock was on the floor and my locker was open.I stood in front of it for five full seconds before I moved.The locker room was empty. Everyone else had cleared out fast, the way they always did after a hard session, showers and out, nobody lingering. Just me and the open locker and the lock lying on the floor at an angle that said placed, not dropped. Deliberate, not accidental.I checked the contents methodically. Spare trainers, extra uniform, water bottle, phone charger, the small zippered pouch I kept for emergencies. Nothing missing. Everything exactly where I had left it except for one thing.A folded piece of paper sitting on the top shelf.I picked it up and opened it.END IT. OR ELSE.Block letters. Printed, not handwritten. Plain paper with no identifying ma

MAYAI showed him the photo in the elevator on the way up to his apartment.Not because I had planned to go to his apartment. He had seen my face when I looked at my phone in the car and he had said quietly, "My place. We deal with it tonight," and I had not argued because the alternative was going back to my dorm room alone with a photo taken by someone standing in the dark outside a venue and that was not a version of the evening I wanted.Priya was at a late study session. I texted her that I was fine and would explain tomorrow. She sent back a single question mark and then nothing further, which was Priya's way of saying she was holding her questions but not indefinitely.Liam's apartment was on the fourth floor of a building two blocks from the east edge of campus. I had built a picture of it in my head from the general idea of him and I had been wrong. No performance of wealth. No deliberate architecture of impression. Just a clean organized space with things in it that looked c

MAYAI showed Liam the second text at seven the next morning.Not because I had planned to show him over coffee in the university cafe two hours before our seminar. But Priya had an early lab session and I was sitting alone at our usual table when he walked in, scanned the room the way he always did, and came directly to where I was sitting without any apparent deliberation, which I noted but did not comment on.He sat down across from me. Looked at my face. "What happened."Not a question. An observation. Which meant whatever I was carrying was visible enough that he had read it in the ten seconds between the door and the chair, and I did not know whether to be unsettled by that or not.I put my phone on the table between us with the second message on the screen.He read it. Then he looked up. "This is the second one.""I got the first yesterday afternoon. Right after I left Greystone." I turned the phone back toward me. "Four words. You should walk away. I forwarded both to my own e

MAYAI did not tell Liam about the text that night.Not because I was hiding it, but Because I wanted twenty four hours to think about what it meant before I handed it to someone else to think about, and that was a habit I had built so deep into myself that I did not even question it anymore. I processed first. I shared second. It had kept me functional through things that should have broken me and I was not about to change it because of a four word text from an unknown number.I forwarded the screenshot to my own email, saved the number twice, and went to dinner with Priya.She talked about her comparative literature seminar and a boy in her economics lecture who kept borrowing her pen and never returning it and whether that was a personality flaw or a flirting strategy. I ate my food and responded at the right moments and let her voice fill the space where my thoughts were running underneath, and by the time we walked back to the dorm I had a cleaner picture of the situation.Someon

MAYA"He's staring at you again."Priya said it the way she said most things, directly and without apology, not looking up from her coffee. We were sitting on the steps of Harlow Hall in the ten minutes before our first Tuesday lecture of sophomore year and the courtyard was full and loud and I alr
