Novel & Cerita A Not So Fake Love Story

She needed a second chance. He needed a fake fiancée. A ninety-day contract was supposed to solve all their problems—until stolen kisses felt real, a fake engagement became a forced marriage, and betrayal threatened to destroy everything they had built. In a world where love is the biggest gamble, will they walk away when the contract ends, or fight for a forever neither of them expected?

Noah finally said, half-smiling, “You’re really bad at keeping things simple.” Ethan leaned back. “You’re really bad at following orders.” “Maybe that’s why this fake engagement will work,” Noah said softly. Ethan studied him for a long moment, then nodded. “Maybe it will.” The city below gleamed in the dying light, cameras still flashing somewhere far away. Inside, everything felt strangely calm two men sitting at a kitchen island, pretending to be in love while the world watched.

"It was an arrangement between families. It was never about love. It was business. I agreed because it benefited everyone." I couldn't feel my legs anymore. "And you still let me believe Jason married me because he loved me?" Richard looked completely calm. "Feelings were never part of this." I slowly turned toward Jason. "Is that true?" Jason lowered his eyes. "Maybe." Victoria finally reached for my hand. "Aria..." I pulled away immediately. "Don't touch me." She looked hurt. "You'll understand one day." "I hope I never do." I replied. Lila wiped her tears. "I really love Jason." I looked at her "And I loved you."

I'd been waiting for an opportunity to change that, but I never thought that would come while I stood at the altar. Armani barely nodded, adjusting his grip around my fingers. We glanced at the officiant at the same time, silently asking him to begin the fake ceremony. I wondered if it was real to him. The officiant cleared his throat loudly. "We are gathered here today to witness the union of the Cartelli and the Rizzo family." Not the loving union of two people.

It wasn't until then that I actually heard what was being said. " ... billboards erected in various places throughout the city and in a neighboring suburb. Though the nudity is blacked out, it shows in graphic detail two lovers purported to be a brother and sister in the midst of making love and also indicates that the two of them have a child together; the paper in the lower right corner is a facsimile of a paternity test and our medical expert does confirm that the paternity test shows a child that is the product of incest. The two alleged lovers are listed as Amber and Dave Creston, who are brother and sister. Amber Creston is the ex-wife of prominent businessman Marc Breuster and Dave Cr

Ours began with a lie. A fake relationship. A desperate deal between two people trying to save their futures. But somewhere between stolen glances, quiet conversations, impossible choices, and countless battles... The lie became the most honest thing we'd ever known. Love wasn't something we planned. It was something we chose. Every single day. And if you asked me whether I'd sign that fake dating agreement again... I'd say yes. Every time. *The End.*

“We’re both cowards. We’re both broken. But maybe that’s okay. Maybe broken things can still fit together.” He leaned forward, resting his forehead against mine. “I want forever with you,” he whispered. “Real forever. Not a contract. Not a lie. Just… you. Me. The mess we make. The way we heal each other.” Tears welled in my eyes. “I want that too.” He pulled a small velvet box from his pocket. Not the ostentatious diamond from our fake engagement. This was simple—a thin gold band, a single sapphire the exact color of his eyes.

You're in the middle of this fake marriage. "I don't regret it..." Edan raised his face and looked Angelica in the eye. "I don't regret anything, Mom..." Because my marriage isn't fake... I really love her... I'm in love with Alma. Angelica's eyes widened in surprise if she didn't expect it. Did Edan say just a second ago that it was all fake and now he said he really loved her? There were many questions, there were many doubts in Angelica's heart, yet her mother's instinct told her that it was no longer a question of protecting her son's interests, but her heart.

“ How do we make it real? “ I ask the most logical question of the evening. “ Well, first of all, we need to create a very romantic story worthy of a movie, I'm serious Nella, let's make it a big deal”. “ This is going to end badly”. “ What the hell! It's going to be the greatest performance of all time, our "boyfriends" “ she makes false quotation marks in the air “ are already amazing, it won't be difficult to involve them in a dramatic soap opera”. “ I don't have a fake boyfriend yet, it's nothing confirmed”.

Just a thing that happened — Cole showing up at her locker between second and third period with an oat milk latte, staying just long enough to make sure she got it, then disappearing to his own class. "This is getting out of hand," Nora told Maya Friday afternoon. "What is?" "The coffee situation." "The coffee situation," Maya repeated slowly. "You mean the situation where the guy you're fake dating brings you coffee every day because he pays attention to what you like and wants to make you happy?" "Yes. That situation." "Nora." Maya set down her phone. "That's not a situation. That's called dating." "We're not actually—" "Babe." Maya's voice was gentle. "When are you going to admit that thi
