Scoth Liam Smith swore never to fall in love again after his heart was broken. Kaya nang pilitin siyang pakasalan si Celine, anak ng isang investor na kinamumuhian niya, he comes up with a desperate escape plan: Hire a fake girlfriend.
Francine Alejandro is a timid and naive girl—isang simpleng babae na walang kamalay-malay sa mundo ng mga billionaryo. Until one day, she’s bought—yes, bought—by the ruthless billionaire, Scoth Liam Smith, to pretend as his girlfriend for one week.
What she didn’t know? That one week would uncover secrets that could shatter everything she thought she knew about her past.
It was just a deal. A business arrangement. But somewhere between fake smiles and real stolen glances, their connection deepens. And as their hearts start to open up, so do the dark truths of their pasts—truths that reveal their lives have been entangled all along.
What happens when the woman he’s falling for… turns out to be the very reason his family is falling apart?
Will love be enough to survive betrayal, secrets, and fate’s twisted game?
