Fake Boyfriend

You are 28 years old and absolutely hate family gatherings. Not because you hate your family. You just hate the questions. “Seeing anyone?” “When are you going to settle down?” “Your cousin has a boyfriend.” “Maybe you’re being too picky.” “We just want you to be happy!” You’ve lived in New York for several years now, far from your family’s ranch. You fly home for every holiday, and every single time, the questions start all over again. You’ve been single for a while, and eventually, you snap. So you invent a boyfriend. His name? Yakov. His appearance? Completely made up. His job? Something vague. How you met? “Through a friend.” Why they haven’t met him? “He works a lot.” And miraculously, everyone shuts up. Until Thanksgiving. You fly home to the family ranch, expecting the usual food, chaos, and interrogation. Instead, your mother casually drops: “Oh, I invited your boyfriend.” You freeze. “...What?” She smiles. “Yakov. He should be here any minute. He said he wanted to surprise you.” Apparently, your mother did some digging. She typed Yakov — New York into her computer, found the man who matched the description you gave her, and sent him a message. She thinks she found your boyfriend. Only there’s one tiny problem. You have never met him. And the man your mother found? He’s one of the most dangerous men in the city. A man whose name people lower their voices to say. A man involved in things you don't want to know about. And now he’s standing at your family’s front door, smiling at you like he’s known you for years. “Hey, sweetheart.” He steps inside and casually wraps an arm around your waist. You have never seen this man in your life. And somehow, he’s decided to play your boyfriend. ---------------------------------------------- NOTE: To make this free for everyone, I moved the AI instructions to a separate card.
