My Fake Marriage with the CEO

402·Peach

Ella Thompson had always believed in hard work and a little bit of luck—but when her family faces a financial crisis, luck seems to have run out. Struggling to keep her design studio afloat, she never imagined that one business event would change her life forever. Lucas Sterling, the cold and impeccably handsome CEO, is everything she’s unprepared for: powerful, untouchable, and unnervingly magnetic. One chance encounter, and he makes her an outrageous proposal—a fake marriage. It’s meant to protect his interests, but for Ella, it’s a gamble she cannot refuse. Thrown together in a whirlwind of luxury, social scrutiny, and forced intimacy, Ella and Lucas navigate a relationship full of tension, misunderstandings, and unexpected tenderness. Every glance carries meaning, every interaction ignites desire, and yet, trust seems impossibly out of reach. As they fight their growing feelings, rivals, jealousy, and secrets threaten to tear them apart. Lucas hides a vulnerability that only Ella can see, and Ella must confront her own fears of love and failure. In a world of appearances and contracts, can a fake marriage ever become real, or will their hearts pay the price for a deal neither of them truly wanted?
