Three sentences! All it took were three sentences, liquid courage in a glass in the form of terribly tasting champagne, some foolish thread of inspiration from God knows where and a very shitty day for infamous ex-actress, Laila Johnson, to make the stupidest mistake of her life. Laila always suspected that the Fates were in cahoots with the entire universe, alongside that bitch called Karma, just to further crumble her already messed up life. But playing a game of pretend with the even more infamous, ruthless, black-hearted mogul, Vincenzo Rex, ordinarily something that wouldn't even occur to her even on her worst of days, undoubtedly took it to the next level. And yet, somehow, her champagne addled mind seemed to conveniently forget that fact momentarily. Being quite versed in the acting profession, Laila thought she could play the part of billionaire's girlfriend to a T. However, when you throw in nosey siblings, suspicious parents, the ever watchful eyes of the industry, an overprotective contract boyfriend and love?! Anything and everything that was bound to go wrong would, of course, go horribly wrong in this game of roleplay and deception.
