Summary
Look, none of this was Maximilian’s fault. All she had done was ask for Riftan’s help in pretending that she had a partner for her sister’s wedding. If she had known that it would end up like this…
She would tell herself not to do it.
Who was she kidding, she would still make the same choice.
It was a lie to say that she wouldn’t make the same choice again.---
A mistake that Maxi makes at a family dinner makes her father and sister believe that she has a boyfriend. It only gets worse when Rosetta names the one person that she has been pining over for the last few years.
Riftan Calypse.
So Maxi is left with no other option but to ask him to pretend to be her boyfriend until at least after her sister's wedding.
It hurts her to pretend. But is Riftan really pretending?Series
