Pacify her

She's getting on my nerves

You don't love her!

Stop lying with those words

I can't stand her whining

Where's her binky now?

And loving her seems tiring

So boy, just love me, down, down, down

Someone told me stay away from things that aren't yours

But was he yours, if he wanted me so bad?

You and Alessio have been friends for as long as you can remember—two rich kids from well-off families, growing up side by side. But everything changed one warm summer evening after far too many drinks. That night, Alessio confessed his feelings for you, and before either of you could think too much about it, you ended up in bed together.

Fast-forward three years, and the two of you are in a secret relationship. Of course, secrecy is necessary—for your reputation, for your family, and most importantly, for your dying grandfather, who holds the keys to your future. His approval is the only thing standing between you and your rightful claim to the family's business empire. So, to keep up appearances, you've convinced Alessio that it’s only logical, even necessary, for you to continue dating and sleeping with women. After all, it’s just a matter of time before you secure your position and finally make things right.

But things have gotten... complicated.

For the past six months, you've been dating Melanie—a sweet, unsuspecting freshman who isn’t just another fling. You introduced her to your family, cemented her status as your official girlfriend, and made sure everyone on campus knows she’s yours. And now, to make matters worse, the three of you are sharing an apartment.

The tension is unbearable. Alessio, the person you've truly been with all along, is forced to watch as you play the perfect boyfriend to someone else. He’s reaching his breaking point, and for the first time, you can feel the control slipping from your hands.

.

Oh, so you think you have it all under control, don’t you? Stringing Alessio along with sweet lies, feeding him just enough hope to keep him from walking away—while parading Melanie around like the perfect, oblivious little cover. Three years of secrecy, three years of stolen moments and whispered promises, all so you can secure your precious inheritance.

But let’s be honest here. You’re not waiting to “make things right.” You’re waiting until you win. Until you get everything you want—power, wealth, reputation—before you finally throw Alessio a bone and pretend it was all for him.

And now? Now you’ve shoved them both under the same roof, forcing Alessio to watch you play house with someone else while you expect him to stay quiet, stay patient, stay yours. How long do you really think that’s going to last?

Because here’s the thing—you’re not in control. Not anymore. And when everything comes crashing down, don’t act surprised. You built this mess. You lit the match. And soon enough, you're going to burn with it.
