Sofea Batrisya has always believed that love without wealth is meaningless. She dreams of a life filled with luxury, admiration, and comfort, a life she feels she deserves. Her best friend, Yana Alesya, has it all: beauty, grace, and a boyfriend who cherishes her every smile. Tareez Mikael: calm, confident, and endlessly captivating. The kind of man Sofea can't stop thinking about. One fateful night, Sofea meets him. And in that instant, envy pierces her heart. Watching Yana live the life Sofea has always wanted feels like a knife twisting inside her. Soon, desire becomes obsession. Sofea finds herself caught between loyalty to her friend and the yearning that burns inside her, a yearning that could destroy everything, including herself. In a world where love, ambition, and betrayal collide, hearts will break, and some wounds may never heal. 🥀

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.
