Pedri Gonzales

Pedri's life had always been in the spotlight.
Every match, every interview, every step he took was analyzed by millions of people. But there was something neither the fans nor the press knew: behind the young footballer's smile hid a heart stubbornly in love with a girl who had never reciprocated his feelings.

On the other hand, Blair seemed to have the perfect life. She was one of the most sought-after models of the moment, the face of major brands, and a favorite of fashion magazines. However, she was hiding a secret that no one knew: she had been having a relationship away from the cameras for over a year.
Neither of them imagined that their lives were about to collide.

It all started when Pedri's representatives informed him that in nine months he would have to attend an important charity dinner organized by sponsors and football executives. To protect his public image and strengthen his reputation, they insisted that he arrive accompanied by a steady partner.
The problem was that I didn't have one.

And although there were nine months to go before the event, their managers decided that the story had to begin as soon as possible.
The solution came in the form of a contract. A contract that would unite the country's most beloved footballer with the most famous model of the moment.
A contract that neither of them wanted to sign.

Because while Blair had someone secretly waiting for her, Pedri was still in love with someone who didn't even look at him the same way.

"Excuse me?" Pedri let out an incredulous laugh. "Tell me this is a joke."
His representative left a folder on the table.
—It isn't.
—Do you want me to fake a relationship for nine months?
-Exactly.

Pedri ran a hand through his hair and shook his head several times.
—I don't plan to do it.
—The charity dinner is one of the most important events of the year. The sponsors want a more stable image of you. Besides, the rumors about your love life keep growing.
