Chapter 1

Aniya :“You know I love you. Don’t you?” Logan slurred his words as I supported his drunk ass into the elevator.“I know you do, but why are you this drunk?” I pushed the elevator button and waited for it to reach the fiftieth floor, the penthouse floor.“I love you.” He leaned on me like a teenager who was drunk for the first time and not like my best friend that I had known for more than two decades. I held him tighter when the elevator opened, revealing the foyer. The lights turned on as we took steady steps, the next steps almost had us falling on each other.Logan stumbled and I watched him hit the floor with a loud thud.“Jeez, Logan. Get the fuck up.” I hated to curse but sometimes you just had to curse at a grown-up man who didn’t know his own alcohol limit. Why did I have to be the responsible best friend?“Get up!” I commanded. All thanks to my athletic years in high school, I was able to get him into his room and onto his bedI sat beside him, my hand unfastening his b

Chapter 2

Aniya:“Congratulations.” The words escaped my mouth like it was a cry for help. I tried hard to pull up a smile but it felt like a partial stroke hit me and my face couldn’t move.“Thank you…” Nicole’s chirpy voice mortified my ears.I could hear the noise around us, the people talking and cutlery clattering on plates, but I saw just Logan. The man whom I had spent years loving without asking for it in return.What else was I going to say? Ask about the wedding? Ask why the fuck he had gotten engaged to her? Or how in the name of heaven did they get back together when he had told me he was moving on, and that he had wanted me for so long. He kissed me.My phone’s ringing jolted me back to reality. I grabbed it from my bag.“Excuse me, I have to take this.” They both nodded as if I cared for their response. “Hi, Maya.” I placed my phone by my ear. “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes. Have him wait comfortably.” I replied, already grabbing my bag with my free hand.When the call end

Chapter 3

Donovan:“Donovan!!” Lawson’s voice cut through my ear very sharply as he walked onto the balcony where I stood taking in the very brisk morning air.Another wave of fresh air hit my nostrils as he neared me. He wasn’t supposed to be here today.“You should see this.” His voice masked some terror as he handed me the tablet.“We don’t have any meetings today, it’s Sunday.” I sighed and took the tablet from him.My eyes scanned the tablet for the big news. The bold headline hit me.Hockey Captain; Donovan Sterling Center Of Model’s Suicide.An old photo sparks new questions about Lucy Ruben’s Death. A fan’s theory has gone viral linking the Hockey Captain to the model's death weeks after her passing.“What in the name of heaven is this? Tell me you have this sorted out, Lawson.” I didn’t take my eyes off the tablet as I spoke. I scrolled a little and the picture popped up.It was me sitting at the empty VIP lounge of my newest bar and Lucy was beside me. The picture captured the full l

Chapter 4

Aniya:“Why are both of you looking at me in that way?” I gulped hard watching their eyes shift from me to each other..“You look just like Lucy,” Lawson muttered.“The same stature, probably the same height and the same hair color. You would...” I didn’t let him finish, I knew what he was going to say. “What? No.”“Please Miss Carter.” “No, no, no… I am a publicist, not an actor. I will not be his fake girlfriend.” I was already on my feet, packing my bag because my time here was over.“Miss Carter, as you know, we need confidentiality and we need to act quickly. We do not have the time to source someone who looks like Lucy when you are sitting right in front of us.” Lawson explained as he watched me close my tablet and grab my bag.“No. You pay me to be a publicist, and as much as I am Mr Sterling’s Publicist, I assure you that I do not want to get involved in his personal business.”The reporters outside were getting loud enough for us to hear. It felt like a protest was happeni
