“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?

The silence was too loud. Blake froze. His heart was torn between his promise and his feelings. After a few seconds of quietness, Blake finally reached for Marissa's hands that were wrapped tightly around his waist. His fingers could feel the softness of Marissa's hands, the hands that he had always held before and the hands of a person that he missed a lot.

"I'm sorry," Blake opened his mouth and uttered an apology.

Marissa's head, which had been leaning on Blake's broad back, moved. She frowned, as she couldn't really grasp the meaning of his apology. "Why?"

Blake slowly removed Marissa's hands from around his waist. He turned to face her. "Breaking up is the best for both of us."

Marissa was trying to digest his words, her eyes staring and furiously blinking at him. "Are you trying to get back at me because I said those words to you before?" she asked.

Isn't it easier to withstand than breaking up?
