Nothing to Gain

Secret Billionaire - Friends to Lovers Romance

Oh, who's even surprised?
I spilled my drink on his fancy chinos, yes.
They call it an accident for a reason.
Is it happenstance or fate?

This guy's new to the area. He and his boyfriend just moved in across the street from my coffee place. Well, not my coffee place, I don't own it or anything. I just go there every day. Now Alex does too.

I wasn't in the market for a new BFF, but Alex is attentive, smart, the kind of guy any woman would want in her life. Yes, he also happens to be yummy hot. Just my luck he's…

Except it's not true.

For weeks, he's lied to me. There's no boyfriend. The one-bed apartment is a prop. He isn't Alex Payne, regular Joe, he's Xander Gauge, secret billionaire. It was all a con. Our whole friendship. Everything was fiction.

It should be over. Done. Except… he says he loves me. Can it be true? I don't know if I can get over this.

Do I forgive him or forget him?
