Lisa and her boss, Alessandro, agree to spite their exes by pretending to date, but things begin to backfire when fake feelings become real along the way. ***** For two years, Lisa Brooks worked as a secretary to the powerful self-made billionaire, Alessandro Russo. He hardly noticed her, and to him, she was nothing more than a co-worker who wore conservative clothes, a tight bun, and followed his orders. But when Lisa's heart gets broken by her first love and Alessandro starts to lose his willpower to avoid Gretchen (his ex-girlfriend and now-client's wife), they decide to help each other out by fake dating. I mean, how hard can it be to not fall in love? [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro

"Pareho tayong lalaki.Nag iisip ka ba?",singhal ko sa kanya at itinulak ang dibdib niya para lumayo siya sakin. "Do you like me?",sa halip ay tanong niya. "Ano?" Napigil ko ang hininga ko nang lumapit muli siya sakin.Sa pagkakataong ito ay inilagay niya ang kamay niya sa magkabilang gilid ko,kinukulong ako sa pwesto ko. "I'm asking you if you like me.",seryosong tanong niya.Sa sobrang lapit niya ay naiwas ko ang tingin ko sa kanya.Nararamdaman ko ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Ano 'to?Dahil sa kaba?Dahil sa takot? Kahit na matalim ang tingin niya sakin ay pinilit kong tumingin sa mata niya. "Kapag ba sinabi kong hindi kakalimutan natin ang naging pag amin mo?",tanong ko pero hindi siya sumagot at nanatiling nakatingin sakin.Sa uri ng tingin niya ay parang nanlalambot ang mga tuhod ko. "Then...I don't-",pagsasalita ko na naputol nang ilapit niya ang mukha niya sakin.His face only inches away from mine. "You don't like me?Okay lang.I just asked you if you like me but that doesn't mean that I'll let you go.You can hate me all you want,but I'm gonna continue liking you.I'll make sure that you'll fall in love with me.",he cockily said as he leaned closer,our lips met and my world stopped.
