“I promise, I will keep your secret.”

"What secret?"

"Well...your relationship with him, I won't tell anyone."

Blake and Marissa knew each other since they were young, but one accident cost Blake his chances at being with Marissa. So against his better judgement, in order to be near her, he agreed to be her best friend.

Ten years later, using the pressure his family imposed upon him to get married. Blake concocted a plan to enlist Melissa's help. Her role was to play as his wife. 

Can Blake finally convince Marissa that whatever happened when they were young was just a misunderstanding?

Will You Keep My Secret?

"Blake," Marissa called him for the second time when he didn't respond at first. "What's on your mind? Am I talking to myself here?" She started to get annoyed when all the time they were eating and talking, Blake spent it staring and playing with the food.

"I'm sorry, it's just something that has been bothering me," Blake said as he put down his fork and reached for Marissa's hand.

"What is it?" Marissa paused. "Does it have to do with the woman and her son earlier? Your behaviour changed after we met them."

Blake shook his head immediately, denying it.

"Blake, it's obvious. Don't lie." Marissa's eyes looked deeply into Blake's.

"No I'm not." He kept denying. "It's just, she looked kind of familiar."
