The Lie We Loved

**THE LIE WE LOVED**

Elias Vale was supposed to be everything I hated.

Rich. Arrogant. Untouchable.

So when he offered me five thousand dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend, I thought it would be easy.

Fake dates. Fake kisses. Fake feelings.

At least, that's what we agreed on.

But somewhere between the lies, I fell for him.

Then Elias died.

Everyone told me it was an accident.

But three weeks later, I found him alive.

And suddenly, I realized something worse than losing him-

**I was never supposed to find out he was still alive.**
