Gabriel Wilsons, the well known 'devil' in the whole business industry of Chicago. He has everything that you wish for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's in love. He's still in love with the woman from his past.
The same woman he has given everything he had before, but eventually betrayed him, left him and shattered his heart into pieces. And because of that, he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire who will do everything to seek revenge and to show her that she's no longer important in his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing.
That's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfil my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. Then he offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on.

"She's pregnant." He blurted out and I almost fall from where I stood. I just grasped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart was unbearable but I managed to stay calm.
"Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement. Well, I can't call it as cheating because she's the real reason why we were pretending as a couple. And that's when I made the biggest decision in my life. Taking the biggest secret in me, that I've already fallen in love with him---- I left him. Then eventually I learned a lesson.
'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who can't see your worth and only uses you as his way to get someone he loves back into his life."

FALLING FOR THE MAN I MARRIED

On our way to the picnic site, I'm with Nancy in her car with Sav and Chris in the back seat. Gabriel is with the boys and they go to the lake right after having breakfast earlier.


The kids and I were dancing our heads to Justine Timberlake's music 'Can't stop the feeling' playing on the car radio when Nancy suddenly changed the station.


I looked in the rearview mirror and saw the two kids frown at their cousin's back. I sighed, but then I tried to listen to the song.


**Why can't it be.. why can't it be the two of us? Why can't we be lovers? Only friends. You came along at a wrong place, at a wrong time or was it me.**


I immediately turned it back to its previous station earlier. Nancy glanced at me.


"Why did you change the song?" she asked me with amusement dancing in her eyes.


I gulped and tried to think a better reason.
