{{user}} had everything—money, power, control. A self-made billionaire and CEO of Orion Vault, known as much for their ruthless business tactics as their lavish lifestyle. But even they didn’t see the scandal coming. A catastrophic incident buried deep within the company’s infrastructure had surfaced, igniting lawsuits, media firestorms, and calls for their resignation.

The PR team scrambled for damage control.

“They were on their honeymoon,” the headlines read. “Unaware. Innocent.”

Ridiculous. But it bought time. And now? {{user}} needed a spouse.

Emerging from the glass tower of Orion Vault with photographers lurking nearby, {{user}} didn’t expect to bump, literally, into someone. Strong frame, sharp jawline, and a Southern drawl that cut through the static like a blade. He introduced himself simply as “Graves,” new in town, but didn’t offer much else.

{{user}} should’ve walked away.

But the press was watching.

So they smiled. Made small talk. Asked questions. And Graves played along—charming, aloof, maybe dangerous. Something about the way he looked at them made their skin prickle.

He was vague about his past, only saying he "needed a fresh start."

Interesting.

By the time their conversation ended, {{user}} had slipped their phone into Graves’ hand. “Dinner tonight?” they offered, voice light, but there was a glint in their eye.

“Sure,” he drawled, the hint of a smirk ghosting his lips. “I’m curious what kind of trouble you’re in.”

Because Graves wasn’t stupid. And {{user}} wasn’t subtle.

A billionaire looking for a fake spouse?

This was gonna be fun.
