"May I have a picture?" I asked. "That's if you don't mind."
He cocked his head as if amused by the logic of someone asking to memorialise a present rather than a celebrity.
"You want a picture, and you seem not to know me?" he teased.
"Well, you look familiar," I said, and the sentence came out like the truth: simple and clumsy and small. "Maybe you're famous. Maybe you're the kind of famous I can bring home to make my family jealous. They'll either be impressed or actively suspicious, and both options are good stories."
He seemed to like the honesty. He stepped a fraction closer; snow kissed his eyelashes.
"I'm Jannik," he said quietly. "Jannik Sinner."

Gracie Campbell has spent her life under a microscope. Fashion's golden girl, perfectly sculpted for the cameras, adored by millions-yet utterly hollow behind the flawless smile. The press never stops whispering, inventing lovers for every photo, dissecting every glance, every breath. Jannik Sinner knows that same suffocating spotlight. Tennis's brightest star, world number one, trapped in the endless cycle of speculation and rumor. Fame offers no privacy-only pressure, only noise. When the chaos threatens to swallow them both, their managers broker a solution: pretend. A fabricated romance to quiet the storm. It's temporary. It's controlled. It's not real. At least, that's what they tell themselves. But there's nothing controlled about the fire that sparks every time their paths collide. A reluctant hand on her waist. His breath warm against her ear. Long nights in shared hotel rooms where walls-both physical and emotional-start to crack. Sharp words laced with sarcasm give way to stolen glances neither of them wants to admit mean anything at all. And then, one night, a broken elevator, a kiss that was never supposed to happen... and suddenly the lie feels far too close to the truth. Gracie swore she'd never let anyone in. Jannik promised tennis would always come first. But as they're forced deeper into a world of staged intimacy and whispered denials, they're left with one impossible question- When pretending feels this real... how do you know where the act ends?

A Heart Full Of Stars ✓
My feet stopped in the corridor suddenly when those brown dark eyes met mine. I blinked my eyes rapidly and looked away. Anywhere and everywhere but him. He wasn't moving and I didn't make any attempt as well. I was frozen at my place as if that way he wouldn't be able to see me. How stupid of me! I gulp hard. It was awkward. It was as if the time was stuck the same. I knew he was stubborn and he would love to make this situation even more complicated. He was tasting me. But I am not someone to stay still and watch. If he is daring me then I should accept it. Right? I gave a mental nod and look at him finally. As expected, he didn't budge from his position nor did he leave his gaze from me. It was cold, it was filled with anger, it gave away his displeasure but I am not bothered. That anger of him has always acted against him. It was his biggest weakness yet he refused to leave it. Fine, I don't mind. He can keep his ego and I'll wear my attitude proudly. I am no less than him. His dark orbs were cutting through me but I had decided to act the same way as him. He doesn't care so I won't too. If he is going to hold his ego then I will too. If he is acting rude then I'll be ruder. If he fights then I'll be fighting back with double force. I will do anything but seat quiet and see him do whatever he wants to. I took a deep breath and put on my confident smirk as I walked forward while pulling my whole strength. I don't care! I repeated in my head. One step after the other and I was already closer to him. I pressed a smile further when he was near. He looked pissed but as I said, I would ignore him and I did. A few more steps and I was out of his view or he was out of my view. I let out a deep breath but celebrated my victory in my head. A smile formed on my lips as I felt relieved with myself. I was fine after all and I know I will be fine later too.Complete
