Who gets married out of convenience? Apparently, I do.
My best friend was only supposed to be my fake date to a work event in Vegas. But when my ex showed up with another woman on his arm, my friend suggested the ultimate payback: pretending we were engaged.
When I accidentally mention my medical insurance issues due to a car accident, he proposes taking our charade to the next level—a temporary marriage until Im better.
I nearly spit out my drink.
Yeah, right. Like that wont completely ruin our friendship.
But we can’t go back now. Our charade worked so well that everyone bought it—even my ex who leaked our Vegas wedding all over the internet.
Now we have to go through with this farce…at least until Im better and the media storm dies down for my hockey star husband.
If that wasnt complicated enough, my sister is married to his brother, which means this fake marriage just took things from ‘mildly complicated’ to ‘full-blown family soap opera.’
Well have to sell this to our friends and family by fake kissing and sharing a bedroom, all while sticking to our friend zone rules behind closed doors.
But there’s just one tiny secret he doesn’t know:
I’ve been in love with my best friend since I met him.
When he pulls me close and says, “my wife,” I know I won’t ever forget that.
I might have married my best friend out of convenience, but love is anything but convenient.
