Rule #1: Pretend the relationship is real. Rule #2: Don't fall in love. Cyrielle "Ely" Navarro never imagined that one reckless drunken call would bring chaos back into her carefully guarded heart-all because of Ezriell Alistair "Riel" Ong. When Riel asks her to become his fake girlfriend, Ely finds herself agreeing to the one thing she should have walked away from years ago. Because pretending to love him was never the hard part. The hard part was acting like she didn't already. For Riel, the arrangement should have been simple. No feelings. No complications. No revisiting the past. But somewhere between late-night drives, stolen glances, and moments that felt a little too real, he realizes something dangerous: He's falling into the very trap he created. FIVE YEARS. NO CONTACT. NO ANYTHING. Yet somehow, beneath the sleepless city lights- they still found their way back to each other.
