Confident

A billionaire tech genius. A fake relationship. One problem—I might actually be falling for him.Roman Norouzi needed a girlfriend—fast. His mother's relentless matchmaking was reaching critical levels, and if he didn't show up to the next family gathering with a woman on his arm, he'd be trapped in a dinner full of eligible women handpicked for him.And me? As an independent gallery owner, I needed to look stable to impress a high-profile client. A relationship—even a fake one—would prove I was the perfect partner for a multi-million-dollar art deal.So we made a deal.�� No real feelings.�� No messy complications.�� Just two successful adults keeping their lives in order.Easy. Right?Except...1️⃣ Roman is charming in a way that gets under my skin.2️⃣ One staged kiss feels a little too real.3️⃣ And every time he looks at me like I'm the only person in the room, I forget we're pretending.His family adores me. My friends think this is the real thing. And worst of all? I'm starting to believe it too.We had rules—rules meant to keep us safe. But now I see the man behind the witty charm, the one who listens when no one else does, the one who makes me feel like I belong.Falling for Roman means risking everything—my heart, my independence, and the perfectly guarded life I've built.We were supposed to end this when the deal was done. But the way he's looking at me now?Neither of us is ready to walk away.
