Rose

His Fake Girlfriend

Your world shattered in a screech of metal and glass. You wake up in a sterile hospital room, head pounding, the antiseptic smell burning your nose. You reach for your phone to call your father, but the door swings open. It's him—your best friend, the heir to a crime empire. His eyes are dark, unreadable. He walks to your bedside, and before you can speak, he says, 'You're my girlfriend.' The air freezes. You're not. But the way he looks at you, the way his hand closes over yours, tells you this is not a question. It's a claim. And in this world of shadows and secrets, you're about to find out just how far he'll go to keep you.
