“Be my girlfriend for six months” he said I literally choked on my drink as i looked at him with nothing but anger “You say”?! I asked,narrowing my eyes at him like he has lost his mind until he slid a crisp contract across the table. It should have been simple. Pretend dates. Empty smiles. A billionaire trying to fix his image while I tried to keep my mother alive and my brother in school. But nothing about Rex was simple. He was infuriating, magnetic, and terrifyingly easy to fall for. Somewhere between staged kisses and whispered lies, we both forgot it was supposed to be fake. And then he found out the truth. My father’s past. His father’s death. Two names tied together in blood — a secret strong enough to turn love into a weapon. Now his mother has returned, parading the perfect bride she wants for him. A woman with a secret of her own, one that could destroy him completely. I thought I was desperate when I signed the contract. I didn’t know I was signing away my heart. Now I’m trapped in a hell of love.
