Akaizha and Gwen | "we can never be friends"

Fake relationship • devoid of any real love or emotional connection. ___________ A little cliché, maybe, but not your usual love story. Ever heard of fake relationships? In the business world, they're basically a necessity. McKendall and Winter were forced into one-not for fun, not for romance, but to clean up a business mess. Rules were simple: pretend, live together, and act like the perfect couple. Sounds easy? Not for them. They didn't like each other. In fact, they could barely stand each other. But did they have a choice? Nope. They had to play along. And then... chaos happened. Months of teasing, arguing, and driving each other absolutely insane slowly turned into something else. Something unexpected. Something messy. Something that maybe, just maybe, neither of them wanted to admit. It was confusing. Painful. And hilarious at times. But somehow, it became beautiful. "I am living with her."
