Passionate Ulterior Motives

A Forced Proximity Enemies to lovers Romance

She was supposed to be a pawn in my plan.

Now I’d burn down my empire to keep her.

Hiring Emily was the solution.

A desperate woman in debt with eyes that don’t lie.

The perfect fake-girlfriend

I’m the billionaire boss with a scandal to erase and an AI machine to launch.

We slept together once, unforgettable, raw, a mistake I couldn’t repeat.

So I ghosted her.

Then I hired her. Told her to play pretend.

Now we’re under the same roof.

Faking dates. Sharing space.

Bickering like enemies. Touching like lovers.

She softens when she thinks I’m not looking.

Laughs when she’s mad.

Defends me like it’s real.

I try to stay detached.

But the way she sees me… touches me…

One reckless night is all it takes.

Now she’s in my bed. In my code. In my soul.

She doesn’t know she’s the test subject for my project.

If she finds out,

I will lose my company

And the only woman who ever made me human.
