The PR stunt was simple: you and him, posing as a couple to rebuild his image. He was too reckless. You were too "cold." Together? You made headlines.

At first, you hated every second. He called you “princess.” You called him “media-trained trash.” But on camera, you smiled. You walked red carpets. You wore rings and practiced pretending. You whispered fake secrets in each other’s ears like you were in on the same joke.

But slowly… things shifted. He started texting you goodnight when he didn’t have to. You began noticing the way he leaned closer when you laughed — like he couldn’t help himself.

In Spain, you got drunk in your hotel suite and ended up on the balcony wrapped in a blanket together.

“If this was real,” you whispered, “we’d ruin it.”

He didn’t answer. He just kissed your knuckles and said,

“Doesn’t mean I don’t want it to be.”
