He's the city's most sought-after bachelor, a billionaire CEO with a cold heart. She’s an artist facing challenges, extremely self-reliant and allergic to commitment. Their lives intersect when a shocking rumor connects them, compelling Damien Sterling and Ava Rossi into a false engagement to protect their reputations. Damien must convey an impression of stability to obtain an important business deal. Ava requires the financial stability that Damien's proposal offers, enabling her to concentrate on her art without the looming risk of eviction. Their agreement is simple: fake it until the deal is done. Nevertheless, the lines separating fiction from reality blur as their deception becomes evident. The simmering desire they tried to ignore bursts into an intense romance, endangering their carefully constructed fronts. Nonetheless, Damien carries a concealed truth, a past trauma that makes him wary of love. Ava's past carries a hurtful secret that may ruin their delicate bond. As a merciless competitor endangers Damien's business and Ava's past resurfaces, their pretend engagement turns into a perilous situation. They have to determine if their love is genuine enough to endure the deceptions, the treacheries, and the high-stakes world they inhabit. Entangled Affair tells a tale of unforeseen romance, concealed motives, and the bravery to gamble everything for a shot at eternity.

CHAPTER 1: A BRUSH WITH SCANDAL

The smell of smoky coffee persisted, suggesting that Ava had not been successful in multitasking. In an attempt to capture the intermittent sunlight shining through her dirty apartment window, she held onto a paintbrush and a sputtering mug of coffee in hand. The unbalanced painting, made from reclaimed wood and old nails, was filled with vibrant hues, depicting a distressing scene of emotions that mirrored her current mental state.With a quiet sigh, she whispered, "Damn it," before moving the paintbrush aside. She couldn't get rid of it, the coffee akin to an oily residue stuck on the pot. She glanced at the clock, its hands ticklingly counting the precious minutes she couldn't afford to waste. The eviction notice, a white envelope with her name in threatening black ink, was placed on the untidy table as if to constantly remind her of her unstable financial situation.The artist Ava Rossi, who is gifted but still struggling, was facing the difficult reality of her chosen path.

CHAPTER 2: The BILLIONAIRE'S DILEMMA
Damien Sterling occupied his modern, towering office, the Manhattan skyline spreading out in front of him in a stunning display of illumination. The glass walls mirrored the atmosphere in the room, his reflection calm and composed as usual. A multimillion-dollar merger faced imminent failure due to an unexpected scandal at its center—one that prominently involved his name and Ava Rossi’s in the headlines.Damien exhaled softly, running his fingers through his neatly styled dark hair. He had managed scandals previously—speculations about cutthroat business tactics, corporate sabotage, and even murmurs regarding how he had obliterated rivals without a second thought. But this? A supposed whirlwind romance with a struggling artist he had only met once at a gala?This represented a fresh degree of absurdity.He sat in his office with glass walls, towering over the city skyline, fingers interlaced as he gazed at the newest headline illuminating his computer screen“Billionaire Bachelor Off

CHAPTER 3: THE PROPOSITION
Ava gazed at her phone, her fingers tightly gripping it as if she could extract understanding from the device. Damien Sterling. Of everyone who might have called her, why did it have to be himHer mind raced. What could he possibly want? Surely, he wasn't calling to apologize for the fabricated gossip columns throwing her name into the spotlight? No, billionaires didn’t do that. They handled things on their terms, and she doubted he was any different.A knot tightened in her stomach. She needed to think, to breathe, but she was already suffocating under the weight of unpaid rent and now—this.Her phone buzzed again. Another call from Damien.Damien Sterling's voice echoed on the phone, making Ava's apartment feel even smaller than it had been before. He spoke with a casual, professional manner that contrasted sharply with the informal chatter they had during their galley event. He wasted no time in responding to greetings, straight to the point.She was left with a cold, fearful sound

CHAPTER 4: THE BARGAIN
Upon awakening the next day, Ava felt her heart race through her chest. She had slept very little, her mind replaying the events of the previous day, the shocking photo, phone call from Damien, this crazy proposal, and her unwise agreement. Her agreement with the devil has to be followed by a responsibility.Looking at the clock, its hands mockingly reminding her of her impending meeting with Damien. The time she had to prepare was less than an hour. She rushed to get dressed, then changed into her most presentable outfit , a plain black dress that she hope would strike a balance between professional and friendly. She applied a touch of makeup, more out of habit than vanity, then pulled her unruly red hair into a neat ponytail.While waiting for Damien's driver, she paced her small apartment with nervousness. Contrary to her expectations, she was completely unaware of what type of individual Damien Sterling would be during this meeting. She had met him just once, at the gala, and thei

CHAPTER 5: A CONTRACT OF ILLUSIONS
A thick packet of legal terminology was sent by a courier with discreet efficiency and arrived later that day. While sitting on a broken couch with some hot tea, Ava felt tense as she read aloud from one side of the page. This voluminous document was filled with clauses and sub-clauses that were designed to intimidate. Ava's artistic talents were overshadowed by her practical nature. She carefully analyzed every paragraph, pinpointing crucial points, and clarified any confusion by making numerous phone calls to a friend who works as an attorney.Damien had fulfilled his commitments. They were so generous, bordering on luxury in terms of their finances. A struggling artist's dream came true with a monthly allowance that was much higher than her previous income, access to upscale studios in prestigious art districts, and seemingly unlimited supplies. Yet, a nagging unease lingered. Neither a donation nor a stipend; this was an exchange for her part in ill-advised deception.Their fake e

CHAPTER 6: THE UNRAVELING
The news of Damien Sterling's engagement to Ava Rossi was a media sensation. Instead of focusing on scandalous headlines about a "mystery woman" or "compromising positions," listeners were treated to thrilling revelations regarding a whirlwind romance involving an entrepreneur and creative artist. The moment was set in motion. This finely crafted press release, a work of spin doctoring, depicted sex life at this year's charity gala, with secret dates and the occasional loss during their busy schedule.Ava's phone exploded with calls and messages. Those who had known her for years, including acquaintances and even those she hadn't spoken to in years, were eagerly waiting for information from her, offering both surprise and congratulations. Her loyal best friend, Izzy, was elated, squealing with delight and asking for a complete explanation of "how he proposed." Still slightly frightened by what had transpired, Ava began to craft elaborate stories of heartfelt gestures and romantic inte

CHAPTER 7: CORNERED BY THE SPOTLIGHT
Ava lounged on her couch with her legs crossed, a half-eaten piece of cold pizza dangling weakly in her hand, overlooked. Her apartment was chaotic—scattered tissues, unsealed takeout containers, and her laptop flashing with unread messages. The dim light of her phone on the coffee table throbbed like a signal, insisting on attention. Alerts after alerts flooded in: pings, dings, and vibrating notifications of a world ablazeShe had silenced it hours ago, but the damage was already done.The television was playing in the background, mostly for noise, but her gaze had been fixed on the same headline for ten full minutes:“FAKE FIANCÉE? DAMIEN STERLING’S ENGAGEMENT UNDER FIRE.”Her chest tightened. The speculation wasn’t just beginning—it had detonated.From the corner of the couch, Izzy tossed her legs up, remote in hand and worry etched across her face. “They’re not just questioning your relationship, Ava. They’re questioning you. I mean, listen to this...” She grabbed her phone and r

CHAPTER 8: MOVING INTO THE LION’S DEN
At the door to Damien Sterling's penthouse, Ava paused, clutching her bag more tightly. She was briefly lost for words owing to the room's distinct opulence. Her small flat felt like a kitchen storage area, even in the entranceway, with its high ceilings, polished marble flooring, and broad windows offering an imposing view of the city. Everything in this home reflected Damien's personality: it was opulent and sophisticated"Miss Rossi? Mr. Sterling is expecting you."She was brought back to reality by the doorman's sharp voice. She took a deep breath and nodded before going in. The muted sounds of the city vanished into a thick hush as the elevator doors closed behind her. She would be staying here, at least for the time being, and the strange weight of the situation hovered over her. Damien waited with his hands loose in his pockets as the elevator doors opened. The city skyline behind him gleamed brightly against the dark blue night sky. He said, "You've come," with a difficult-t

CHAPTER 9: CLASHING WORLDS
Ava had only been living in Damien’s penthouse for a few days, but it already felt like a battle of opposites—chaos versus order, creativity versus structure, color versus monotony.She was beginning to think Damien Sterling was less of a man and more of a machine. His world ran on precision; his days were segmented into perfectly timed intervals. Breakfast at exactly 6:30 AM. Meetings are scheduled down to the minute. Even his leisure time appeared deliberate—an hour of reading before sleeping, in the same place on the same leather armchair, with the same glass of bourbon next to him.Ava, in contrast, flourished with unpredictability. Ava had always thought that life should be experienced in vibrant bursts, surprise moments, and unplanned journeys. She painted whenever inspiration hit, occasionally in the middle of the night. She kept her sketchbooks open, brushes drying on the counters, and rearranged the furniture whenever she felt the impulse. Damien’s flawless world felt stiflin
