The billionaire stranger I claimed
690 Views · Ongoing · Cynthia Ezekiel
Gloria had never thought kissing a complete stranger would be the easiest way to escape a scandal.
But there she was—running from a crowd of gossiping eyes, desperate to get away before the whispers swallowed her whole.
Then she saw him.
A stranger.
Tall, composed, and completely unaware that Gloria was about to drag him into the biggest lie of his life.
She didn't know his name.
She didn't know who he was.
She didn't even know why he was standing there looking at her like he wasn't surprised by her sudden appearance.
She only knew she needed someone to make the gossip stop.
So Gloria did the one thing she could think of.
She kissed him.
And then she ran.
Simple, right?
Wrong.
Because the stranger Gloria had impulsively kissed wasn't some random man she would never see again.
He was Ben Kenneth—a billionaire, a former military man, and a man whose name was known far beyond the circle Gloria had been trying so desperately to escape.
And somehow, after that one reckless moment, Gloria finds herself pretending that they are dating.
The problem?
Kenneth doesn't seem interested in exposing her lie.
In fact, he appears far too willing to play along.
Now Gloria has to keep pretending to be involved with a man she barely knows while trying to understand why he is allowing the charade to continue.
What started as one desperate attempt to silence society's gossip is quickly turning into something much bigger.
Because Kenneth isn't just a billionaire stranger anymore.
He's the man everyone thinks Gloria chose.
And perhaps the man she should have never kissed in the first place.
She wanted to escape the gossip.
Instead, she accidentally claimed a billionaire.
And now she has to figure out how to survive the lie.
