LOGIN"I swear I didn't know the video would go viral. I didn't know who you were. W-We need to tell them the truth—" "But what if we don't?" He finally speaks again, and I glance at him, confused. "W-What do you mean?" I ask, gulping when he leans closer. His finger trails slowly along my cheek, sending a shiver through me. "I mean..." His gaze drops briefly to my lips before returning to my eyes. "I want everyone to believe we're in a relationship and that we're madly in love with each other." Ophelia Hart has spent her entire life being bullied, belittled, and judged for her size. From cruel comments and public humiliation to constantly being compared to her beautiful twin sister, she's learned that in a world obsessed with appearances, girls like her are never loved. So when a humiliating encounter with her cheating ex forces her to kiss a complete stranger and lie about having a boyfriend, the last thing she expects is for the moment to go viral. The stranger turns out to be Killian Knight—campus hockey star, notorious playboy, illegal street racer, and heir to one of the most powerful families in the country. With the entire internet convinced they're in love, Killian proposes a fake relationship that benefits them both. The rules are simple: Pretend to be in love and don't get attached. But as fake feelings become real, family expectations, old wounds, dangerous secrets, jealous rivals, and their own insecurities threaten to destroy everything they've built together. Will they risk their hearts for a love worth fighting for, or walk away before they get hurt?

I've been trying to call an Uber, but there's no service, and no matter how many times I refresh the app, nothing works. I even tried calling Gia, but that didn't go through either.How am I going to get home?I shouldn't have left without Killian.I dial Gia's contact again, but the call doesn't even connect. I let out another frustrated sigh, staring at the screen as I fight the sudden urge to throw my phone onto the road.Headlights suddenly appear in the distance.I step toward the road and raise one
KILLIAN. "Who's she?" Evelyn asks as she slowly turns her attention toward Ophelia, looking her up and down with an expression of pure disgust. The sight makes something hot crawl up the back of my neck. I tighten my grip around Ophelia's hand. "I hope the rumors and those videos I've been seeing aren't true," Evelyn continues, finally dragging her eyes away from Ophelia and looking at me. "Eve—" "They're true," I cut in. My father's mouth closes. "The rumors are true. The videos are real. Ophelia and I are together." Evelyn's eyes widen. "What?" she whispers. "What the hell do you mean, you're together?! I'm your fiancée, Killian! Your fucking fiancée!" A bitter laugh escapes me. "Are you my fiancée?" I ask, tilting my head as I stare at her, fighting back the urge not to gag. "Because I don't remember agreeing to that. Did I consent to this engagement, Evelyn? Was I standing in the room when our fathers made the decision? Did anyone bother asking me what I wanted? Did I pu

I appreciate your patience and all the support more than you know.Thank you for sticking with me and this story ❤️---------------------------------OPHELIA."You know, Ophelia, I have to admit that I don't understand this relationship," Killian's father says, cutting into his food without even looking up at me."I know the kind of women he's attracted to and the kind of women he usually dates. He has always preferred slim, beautiful women, so I don't understand why he'd suddenly choose to date a fat, plain girl like you."My hand freezes around my champagne glass."Watch your mouth, Father." Killian's voice is sharp enough to make me flinch. "I don't give a
OPHIELA.“Good evening, Young Master Killian. Good evening, Miss.”The butler's warm greeting pulls me out of my thoughts, and I immediately offer him a polite smile without letting go of Killian's hand.“Good evening,” I say softly, glancing at Killian beside me.He'd barely spoken during the entire drive here, and the whole time, he'd been sitting beside me with his body tense.I'd tried talking to him a few times, but his answers had been cold and short, and when we finally got out of the car, I noticed the slight tremble in his fingers, so I slipped my fingers between his and held his hand.Thankfully, it seemed to help because his fingers slowly stopped trembling, and he gave my hand a small squeeze in return.Killian turns his head slightly toward me, and before I can ask if he's alright, he leans closer, his lips brushing near my ear as he whispers, “Don't be nervous, okay?
