Jazzlyn had been pretending as Camille, her best friend after she agreed to stand in for her on a blind date with Kevin because Camille was in love with someone else. It was only a one-time favor, but it turned into a complicated relationship. She believed she had everything under control not until she had a one night stand with a stranger, who turned out to be Erwan Alvarez—the CEO of Alpha Holdings Group she was working on, and Kevin's cousin. No matter how hard she tries to avoid him, Erwan seemed to know her secret. Later, Jazzlyn found that she was pregnant with Erwan’s child. Even worse, Camille revealed that the man she liked was actually Erwan. Jazzlyn was left unsure of what to do when the father of her child was set to marry her best friend.

She reached Jazzlyn’s eyeshadow, applying soft browns and golds on her lids, followed by a quick line of eyeliner and mascara. Camille grabbed her new lipstick from her bag. “Let’s use this, I bought this from Paris. It will make you look even perfect.”Jazzlyn took a small smile while Camille applied a deep rosy shade on her lips. It was bold but beautiful. “Thanks,” she said, smacking her lips together.Camille stood back. “So, you're gonna end this now since you failed to do it last time?” she asked. Jazzlyn froze for a second, she pretended to focus on fixing her hair. “I have no choice, Camille. I don’t want to keep pretending.”“I'm sorry if I put you in this situation. If I had known that it was Kevin, I should have done it by myself.” Camille knew that Jazzlyn had a crush on Kevin. Jazzlyn faced
JAZZLYN stared blankly as she sat at her desk. She hadn't touched a single one of the papers assigned to her for audit. Her mind was occupied by the unexpected events. The shock of seeing Erwan had left her in daze, she felt like it was the end of this world.She needed some fresh air, so she stood up and left the office for a while. Her heart raced as she tried to process everything. First, if it wasn't for her love for her best friend, she wouldn't have done something reckless pretending to be Camille. And now, the unexpected encounter with Erwan and knowing that he was actually Kevin's cousin.She messed up her hair and then leaned against the wall. It feels like her life turned upside down. How did everything get so complicated? Her phone vibrated in her pocket. She checked her phone to read a message from Kevin.Kevin: I’m so excited for our dinner tonight :)Her heart skipped a beat after reading that message. This was not exactly the distraction she needed, but then she quickl
BACK at the hotel, Erwan slowly woke up. He frowned, sitting up, and rubbing his eyes. He realized that the woman he spent last night with was gone. That night was foggy, he only remembered someone was inside of his room expecting it was a woman she met from the bar.He stretched and something caught his eyes on the nightstand. He noticed a wallet and a necklace left behind. He picked up the necklace and a strange feeling stirred his memory because of the pendant “Ynamorata”. His head throbbed and his chest tightened as a memory flashed something from long ago, something that didn’t make sense yet.Out of curiosity, he opened the wallet. His eyes widened as he saw the picture of a woman inside. This woman looked different than he was expecting. He blinked with confusion, questioning himself if he was really with this woman last night.Before he could think further, his phone rang. It was his executive assistant, Sean. “Good morning, Sir. I am on my way to your hotel.”“Alright,” Erwa
THE NEXT MORNING, Jazzlyn woke up with a splitting headache, maybe because of the alcohol effect last night. She barely remembered how the night ended after going out to a bar with Kevin. Everything was hazy. She scanned the unfamiliar room until she realized that she was inside the hotel recognizing the logo on the food menu by the bedside table. She turned toward the man lying next to her in bed. Heart pounding, she reached out hesitantly, her hand brushing his muscular arm. “Kevin,” she whispered, expecting Kevin to respond. But something felt off. There was no response, that's why Jazzlyn looked at him closely. She froze. This wasn't Kevin! Her heart pounded with surprise as she stared at the stranger’s face. Yet he was insanely handsome, but this isn't the man she thought she was with. She was covered with a blanket shared with this man. She gasped after she saw herself naked and so was he! “Oh, no, no, no! This can't be!” she thought to herself confirming that somethi
THE BAR was waved with loud music and flashing lights. The place was packed with people enjoying the upbeat sound making everything feel lively and exciting. But as Jazzlyn stepped in, an uneasy feeling crept her. She wasn't used to being in the crowd, especially being the center of attention. Tonight she could feel it. All heads turned toward her and their eyes followed her move. Everyone was captivated by her beauty.She took a deep breath, forcing herself to ignore it. But her hands were clammy, her heart was racing, and she wasn't sure if it was from the sudden attention or Kevin's presence beside her. She could barely believe that she was here, standing with the man she had admired for so long, and he was looking at her as if she were the only person in the room.Jazzlyn felt both elated and terrified, her heart caught between the thrill of being with Kevin and the guilt was gnawing at her for deceiving him. She could feel the weight of her disguise. She wasn't Camille. She was
JAZZLYN stood in front of the vanity mirror in Camille’s luxurious bedroom. She looked at her reflection with a mix of dread and disbelief. Her best friend Camille was busy applying foundation to her face, dabbing a concealer over her every blemish.“I really don't want to do this, Camille,” Jazzlyn muttered, her voice barely above a whisper. “This is too risky. What if your dad finds out?”A playful grin curving Camille’s lips. “Just do your best to make sure the guy doesn't fall for you. That's the whole plan, remember?”Jazzlyn sighed, she wanted to avoid her reflection in the mirror. Even with Camille’s makeup skill, she could still see the imperfection. Her fingers grazed over her cheeks where a cluster of pimples refused to disappear no matter the treatment. Jazzlyn couldn't help but lose confidence when Camille was standing beside her, who always looked flawlessly beautiful.Camille took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Stop it, Jazz, you're beautiful. Just let me work o
