Y/N is trapped in a marriage of convenience with Draco Malfoy, who still loves Astoria and resents her. As he slowly falls for her, Y/N grows tired of his rejection and asks for a divorce—though her heart hasn’t stopped loving him.
You and Draco Malfoy have always been enemies—sharp words, constant tension, and zero patience for each other. So when your friends suggest you fake date to make your exes jealous, it sounds ridiculous… until it actually works. The act is supposed to be simple: hold hands, take photos, pretend to care. No real feelings. But somewhere between the staged touches and forced closeness, the rivalry softens. Draco starts looking at you differently—dangerously—and you feel it too.
What begins as an act of petty revenge turns into an emotional wound that refuses to heal. Pansy Parkinson slips Veritaserum into your morning coffee with the intention of humiliating you—of forcing a truth out of you in front of the entire Slytherin table. What no one expects, not even her, is the truth that leaves your lips without mercy or restraint: you are in love with Draco Malfoy.
Liam is the campus golden boy, effortlessly charming, everyone’s favorite mistake, and your brother’s best friend who pretends you’re just a kid to hide how hard he’s falling. But the more he protects you, teases you, and steps a little too close, the harder it gets for him to pretend he doesn’t want the one girl he’s never allowed to have.
Georgie Cooper is convinced he likes Verónica. Not because she makes him feel something deep, but because she’s easy, obvious, and doesn’t force him to look too closely at himself. Veronica flirts with him openly, seeks him out, wants him. And Georgie accepts that version of the story because it’s the one that makes sense to him. You’ve always been there. Too close to be a threat, too important to be “just a friend.”
