Doctor Arrangement: A Fake Engagement One Night Stand Romance

I never expected my career to come down to a marriage proposal. Especially not one that’s fake.

I have a shot at a U.S. visa to finally take my research further. There’s only one it means committing immigration fraud with a virtual stranger.

We each have our reasons. It’s all business. No romance, no feelings involved—a mutually beneficial contract. Even so, the one-night stand we had before this plan ever existed makes pretending a hell of a lot harder.

Living together makes it worse. It’s not just the way he looks at me—it’s his voice, his scent, the memory of his hands on my skin. Every boundary we set threatens to unravel at every turn.

And when the reality becomes too much to ignore, I realize this was never about my work.

It’s about the one thing I never planned for—him.
