Swept into a dazzling charade by my former crush, his fake proposal blossoms into a floral fantasy.

A pretend Valentine’s Day wedding is his clever business strategy.

High school chemistry brought us together, but I was too shy, and he was leagues above me.

Alex is now a billionaire CEO, desperate to shield his legacy from a conniving cousin’s thorns.

He pledges to rescue my flower business from bankruptcy if I play his blushing bride.

But the delicate petals of our fake love conceal a garden where hope and deception intertwine

As we stage lavish displays of affection, I melt under the warmth of his charm.

My foolish heart envisions a fairytale engagement that could lead to happily ever after.

But my logical mind knows that underneath the veil lies a deal as delicate as a carefully arranged bouquet.

When our wedding day arrives, a symphony of hopes and fears blooms within me.

I hope my dream man doesn’t discard me after we say I do.
