nothing but an act | h.s

It was supposed to be simple.

Pretend to date.
Convince their parents.
Walk away.

After years of bickering, resentment, and carefully avoiding each other, Mariella and Harry are the last people anyone would expect to end up together. But when family pressure becomes impossible to ignore, pretending feels easier than telling the truth.

The rules are clear: no feelings, no crossing lines.

Except pretending starts to feel a little too real.
And some lines aren't as clear as they thought.

what begins as nothing but an act slowly turns into something far more complicated, and neither of them is ready for what comes next.
