False Romantic 소설 & 이야기

Lucas frowned before asking, "Are you down because a girl rejected you?" "Of course not," Roman immediately rejected. "Never!" He added making Lucas almost smirk. The man was really funny. He would like to call this love but Roman would never agree to it that he was in love especially when he is married to someone else and claims to be faithful to his wife. "Then why are you sad?" Lucas asked as he reached to sit on the long bench behind him. Roman opened his mouth to speak only to close them again, he did this three times before he finally said,

he leaned in to whisper before walking out of the shop. Mom sighed and looked at me. I instantly knew what she would say. “Has he apologized?” I nodded, not elaborating further. “Then patch up with him, Dani. Don’t let go of the one who loves you.” I rolled my eyes at Mom’s naivety. “Drake doesn’t love me, Mom. He only wants a fake relationship with me.” She gaped at me for a minute in disbelief. “What do you mean by a fake relationship?” I groaned. How would I explain it to her? “It’s a relationship where the partners don’t love one another. It’s a relationship of convenience which doesn’t involve love, commitment, and marriage.”

"Fred, please give up. Thankfulness is not the same as love. I've already told you that I can't be with you because of pity or gratitude. And your actions now simply serve to highlight another reason.” Fred tenses up, straining his jaw. Do you believe I've been unjust? You have been deceiving me the entire time. Acting as though Kingsley is only Liam's co-parent. Just this morning, you lied to my face!" “I'm sorry about that. I shouldn't have lied to you because frankly, I'm an adult. I can have a man in my apartment.” Louisa says lowering her voice. She pauses before continuing. “But it does not excuse the way you treated him today. You must move on from this. Give me a break. I'm sure you'

RACHEL’S POV “What did you do?” Leo asked, his tone platonic but I could sense the underlying annoyance in his voice. “I did what I could. If we both act as a married couple for just 100 days, then Max Zenin will either invest in my company or yours at the end of it,” I said, folding my arms defensively. I had hoped he would understand, but his expression told me otherwise.

She didn’t want to lie… “I went out to a club, and I honestly got pretty drunk. Maybe I wasn’t making the best decisions… Anyway, he gave me a ride home. Like, he didn’t have to do that. But one thing led to another and… We ended up at his place.” “Okay, I know that look.” Sharon had a wicked, very un-Sharon-like glint in her eye. “It was really good, wasn’t it?” “Yeah.” Raven felt herself blush with the admission. “But he’s—it’s complicated. There’s never going to be anything romantic. Like, ever. It’s just confusing.” “Girl, honestly, if it was that good,” Andre began, “just use him for his body. Romance is overrated.” “Andre!” laughed Raven and Sharon together.

Ronan's POV "What?" I repeated, because surely I'd heard her wrong. Sarra tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I said no." I stood there, coffee mug still in my hand, trying to process what just happened. "You're saying no to being my girlfriend?" "Yes." "But we're already—" I gestured between us. "We're already doing this. We're fake dating. How is real dating any different?" She wrapped her arms around herself. "Because fake dating has an expiration date. Real dating doesn't."

"It was my dearest wish to marry you, so I'm absolutely happy, Claire. What brought this question on so abruptly?" I noticed the flicker of avoidance in his gaze and felt a sharp, sudden pang in my heart. I knew, without a doubt, that he was lying. I realized that it made sense, though. Henry, the profoundly devoted deuteragonist, who sacrificed his life's happiness to protect the protagonist, could never genuinely develop feelings for me. I released the hem of his trench coat before I tugged my mouth into a semblance of a smile, replying, "I just got curious. I just want you to know that regardless of everything, I genuinely hope you're happy, Henry."

This was the question everyone wanted answered. I inhaled slowly, steadying myself. “Roman was engaged to my mother. That’s true. But what people don’t understand is that their engagement was not…real. Not the way an engagement should be. There was no love there. It was a business arrangement. A contract more than a relationship.” The interviewer’s brows lifted, intrigued.

“And it’s not like we had some tragic love story. We felt a pull and I think we both tried to force it into something more because it felt logical.” “I know she was not your first relationship, but you seemed more serious with her unlike others,” she reminded softly. He took a deep breath, finally meeting her gaze. “I know and I wanted to make it work badly. I wanted what you and dad have, what Alanna and Ivor have. I think I rushed things with Suhana because I wanted that future so badly. Just because something looks right on paper doesn’t mean it feels right in real life. She didn’t understand why I needed to do this my way. She saw my path as a stubborn detour.”

“We’re leaving, El.” My patience snapped. “What the fuck is wrong with you, Kae? We’re not dating. We’re fuckin’ friends.” He looked offended. “Who said we’re dating? Why would I even date you?” “Exactly. Then stop acting like we are. I’m not leaving with you. You’re being irrational.” “You can go to hell for all I care,” he said, storming away. I just sighed and went back to class. I apologized to Mr. Mason and he nodded.
