With his family pushing him in a relationship, the problem escalated. For how can he possibly be in a relationship if he can't even touch anyone? Due to this, he is forced to look for a suitable "pretend" partner. "Senara Lee. I'd like to offer you a deal." "Hm? A deal? What deal?"

You bet I'm in! Anything for my babies!" (babies - she's referring to her books, yes, she calls them her babies). And so, their hilarious and catastrophic game begins.

Love Arranged to Last Forever {COMPLETED}
A story in which a young girl has to discover who she truely is in the confines of an arranged marriage, and has to find a way to get out of the arrangement so she can be with with the love of her life. She must decide if she should give up her parents wishes and marry the one they chose, or go her own way, and pave her own path with a choice she never dreamed of. ❌❌❌❌ I began editing this book to change some major things, but I realized too much will have to be changed. Many things do not line up, mainly due to the fact that I wrote this right when I started out and was completely immature. I do not have the time right now to fix this, and so it will probably always stay the flawed, messed up child in the family. I love the story anyway so please no hate. I did work hard on this. If you don't mind all of this, continue! And happy reading :) Cover: @worldgirlalwaysxxComplete
