Pretend to Be Mine
“It was supposed to be fake… until it wasn’t.”
Elena Ramirez was never supposed to catch Adrian Harrington’s attention — billionaire CEO, untouchable, and dangerously charming. One moment, she’s a struggling intern juggling bills and caring for her younger sister, Maya… the next, she’s signing a contract that turns her entire world upside down.
The deal is simple: pretend to be his girlfriend.
No feelings. No complications. No lines crossed.
But Adrian Harrington doesn’t do simple.
One gala. One stolen glance. One soft touch that lingers too long… and suddenly, the line between pretend and real begins to blur.
The media calls her a gold digger. Socialites like Clara Vance want her gone. Paparazzi stalk her every move, and Elena finds herself drowning in a world of secrets, lies, and scandals she never asked for.
And then — the contract leaks.
Every signature. Every clause. Every proof that her “relationship” with Adrian is nothing more than a carefully staged performance.
Now the entire city is watching, waiting for her to break.
But Elena refuses to be their victim.
Because somewhere between the chaos and the cameras, Adrian’s cold walls are cracking… and the one thing more dangerous than pretending to love him is realizing she actually might.
Fake dating. Real feelings. Endless betrayal.
Some lies build empires.
Others break hearts.
