It all started with a fake relationship... Melissa Anderson is known for being soft-spoken and shy, yet surprisingly strict and outspoken when something truly matters to her. She prefers a quiet life, far away from drama-especially the kind that follows Oliver Baxter. Oliver Baxter is charming, reckless, and infamous for breaking hearts. As the handsome son of a powerful mafia boss, he lives a life filled with luxury, danger, and expectations he refuses to follow. When his father demands that he marries the daughter of a mafia ally to strengthen their partnership, Oliver quickly comes up with a plan to escape the arrangement. His solution? A fake relationship. Melissa reluctantly agrees to the contract after Oliver convinces her it's only temporary and harmless and he was going to compensate her-of course. She needed the money after all. But the whole mixed feelings began even before the contract was finalized. What Oliver doesn't know that Melissa has secretly been in love with him for a while. And Melissa doesn't know that Oliver fell for her the moment he first saw her-but refuses to admit it, even to himself. They both refused to admit it. As they pretend to be a couple, the lines between acting and reality slowly blur. Stolen glances, accidental touches, and growing jealousy begin to expose feelings neither of them wants to confess. Meanwhile, Oliver's father refuses to back down, and the fake relationship starts attracting dangerous attention from people within the mafia world. What began as a simple contract soon turns into a complicated game of love, pride, and secrets. And as the five months tick away, Melissa and Oliver must decide whether their feelings are just part of the act... or something far more real. Because sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't the mafia. It's falling in love for real. - Dive into the complicated world of Oliver and Melissa-in MIXED EMOTIONS. ©️Precious_wealth Approved by wattpad-2026
