Pretended Crossword Clue Novels & Stories

“ What exactly do you have in that manipulative mind of yours?" I exhale deeply, secretly glad he didn't react rashly or get angry with me. Taking a deep breath, I try to collect my thoughts together. “ Well" I begin. “ I-i was just thinking we could- you know- pretend” Demetrius raises a skeptical eyebrow. This time, his tone is mildly laced with a hint of interest. " Pretend?” He echoes. " Pretend for what, exactly?” “ We-we could pretend to be married without any contract marriage" I say, my voice shaking slightly. “ You know...just for appearance's sake. You are a social face and it would be kind of sudden and surprising for the world to see that you are married"

Rekha mumbled while I smiled at my wife after hearing her words though. “We can’t guess with them at all. They may be just in a relationship but pretending like a married couple or already married but pretending to be in a relationship. They both are a high-level pretending couple.” I explained and she slowly nodded. “At least stop thinking about us on your special day, Vikesh.” Mihi commented and they both finally decided we all are good enough to give us some attention. “When will you get married? My wife thinks you both are already married.” I asked frowning at them.

She seems nice. "I'm Aimee Jones from Financial Times", I say, and she offers me a smile and guides me through the long corridor towards a set of double doors. I stop as she opens the door and walks in. I stand still, and she looks back over her shoulder and frowns. I take a deep breath, and I walk into the room to see Alec, he stands up, and when his blue eyes meet mine, they turn cold. I walk in pretending the be the most confident woman in the world, and Sonia looks at me and then at Alec.

“Because this was Mr. Edward's first class. “Hell yeah”. He chuckled. I froze. “Did you just laugh?” My tone changed instantly. “I didn’t laugh–“ “Yes, you did.” I cut in. “You laughed because your plan worked. Are you happy now?” I clapped sarcastically. Emris looked confused. But I wasn’t fooled. He was pretending. He must have done something. Somehow. Because there was no way an entire class could disappear. And whatever it was, I didn’t want to know.

He cocked his head curiously. "Will you have a bump by August the twenty-fourth?" "I don't know and don't start, please. All the guests know I'm pregnant so it's not like we're trying to hide the fact. Trust me, I've heard all about it from my mother already. Like she thinks pretending we aren't having a baby will be more respectable somehow. Ugh, I loathe the drama she creates. Why can't she just be happy for me? She's going to have a grandchild, for Christ's sake!"

I heard Ethan say and I stiffened refusing to look back at him not until he touched me. His hand was on mine which was resting on the chair. “Are you alright, Alexandra?” He whispered, leaning closer. My heart began pounding. “I uh… yes” I managed to stutter, avoiding his gaze. He kept looking at me with such intensity in his eyes and I realized I was looking into the eyes of someone who has spent all his life pretending. The look in his eyes to deceive passersby was something that came easy to him, he didn't need to do much. He was used to pretending but in this case… I didn't appreciate it because I was fooled too by it.

I just sat in front of him. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked. I still sound respectful but I am losing my patience. "I know you are just faking your marriage with my brother." He said. I did not agree with what he said. I can't just sabotage Canon with his plans. I am hired to pretend his wife. It is enough that his Mom knows about our situation.

The assistant, Adam, shot me a sideways glance and kicked me a few more times. “Take him away! It won’t be good for any of us if Miss Pascal finds out about this!” I struggled and yelled, “I’m her husband! Ask her if you don’t believe me! Ask her whose name is on her marriage certificate! That heart belongs to her mother-in-law! Ask her how she dares to try and steal it!” Everything went quiet for a moment, but then Adam clutched his stomach and let out a guffaw. “Everyone at Pascal Group knows Miss Pascal loves Mr. Sinclair the most. She gave him half her shares without blinking an eye.”
