Make Believe Wife

She’s everything I never knew I wanted.
And now I’m going to lose her forever.

I found Roxy in the rain.
She had just gotten kicked out of a club.
She was cold. Wet. Hungry.
I invited her to a diner.

Then to my place.

You see…she had nowhere to go.
I needed a fake fiancé.
It was all for show. For my promotion.

I wasn’t supposed to love her.

She’d already been hurt so much. I didn’t want to be someone that hurt her again.
But I did love her. And I did hurt her.
I was selfish.
Focused on work. For the glory of the title.
The prestige was my poison.

Roxy paid the price.

I broke her heart.
Even if it was all Even if it started out a lie.
The pain was real.
Only one question remains.

How do I win back the woman I never had?
