The Prince Had 90 Days to Choose a Wife—So He Asked His Private Chef to Pretend to Be His Woman JJ

Adrian, look at the calendar. Time is running out. >> The document requires your immediate attention. Adrian, please tell us what it says. I didn’t expect such a massive turnout tonight. The gala seems to be a grand success. Everyone who’s anyone is in attendance. I’m just glad we found a quiet moment. >> I agree, it is quite a crowd.

We are entering the main wing, which holds the primary suites. Notice the detailed gold leafing on the arches. It was restored to its original 19th century glory. >> So, I decided to try something a little different this morning. I added fresh herbs and that special cheese you like. >> Well, it smells absolutely incredible.

>> I hope you are hungry. >> Prince Adrian had everything most people could only dream of. Wealth, power, a magnificent estate, and a future already planned for him. But then his family gave him just 90 days to choose a wife. Over the next few weeks, introductions became unavoidable. Beautiful, accomplished women arrived at his estate one after another.

But none of them made Adrian feel that rare sense of peace he was searching for. Amara had worked for Adrian long enough to notice what everyone else missed. She knew when he was genuinely happy and when he was simply being polite. She never expected that knowledge would soon change both of their lives. After weeks of introductions, Adrian was exhausted.

Every conversation seemed rehearsed. Every smile seemed carefully calculated. He wanted someone who could see the man beneath the title. Then Adrian walked into the kitchen long after everyone else had gone to bed. Amara looked up and simply asked, “Couldn’t sleep?” For the first time that day, Adrian smiled without pretending.

Adrian told her about the 90-day deadline. Instead of flattering him, Amara gave him honest advice. She told him to stop looking for someone who impressed the room and find someone who understood him. Then Adrian made a request Amara never expected to hear. “Would you pretend to be my girlfriend for the next 90 days?” Amara stared at him, convinced she had misunderstood.

She knew it was risky, but Adrian promised there would be boundaries, honesty, and a clear end date. Finally, Amara agreed to help him. Their first appearance together immediately changed the atmosphere. People had expected another carefully chosen socialite. Instead, Adrian arrived with the woman who had been cooking his meals for years.

Vivian noticed immediately. The prince looked different beside Amara, more relaxed, more genuine. And that was something Vivian hadn’t seen during their own conversations. Adrian’s family had questions. Who was Amara? How long had they known each other? And why had Adrian suddenly chosen someone outside their carefully planned circle? Somewhere between the rehearsed appearances and formal dinners, something changed.

They started laughing when no one else was around. And neither of them noticed when pretending began to feel surprisingly natural. Adrian finally admitted his deepest fear. He was afraid that anyone who loved him might actually be choosing his title instead of him. Amara understood exactly why he created the strange 90-day arrangement. The problem was simple.

The better they got at pretending, the harder it became to remember where the performance ended. Neither wanted to say it first. Vivian finally asked Adrian the question everyone else was avoiding. “Is this really an arrangement?” Adrian hesitated before admitting that it had started that way. Suddenly, the deadline was no longer some distant date.

Only days remained, and Adrian realized he had a decision to make that had nothing to do with his family’s expectations. The final family dinner arrived sooner than either of them expected. Everyone at the table seemed to be watching Adrian and Amara, but Adrian was no longer thinking about the agreement. Amara had started wondering whether she should leave before things became complicated.

She had agreed to pretend for 90 days. She had never agreed to risk her heart. Adrian found her before she could make a decision. He didn’t ask her to stay because of the family. He asked because he finally wanted to be honest. Adrian admitted that somewhere along the way the arrangement had stopped being an arrangement.

He wasn’t looking for a wife anymore. He was looking at the woman who had become the most important person in his life. Amara didn’t answer immediately. Then, she smiled and admitted that she had been fighting the same feelings. For the first time, neither of them was pretending. Vivian eventually understood what was happening.

Whatever chance she had with Adrian, it had never been about competing. His heart had already made his choice. The family had expected Adrian to choose someone who fit an image. Instead, they saw how naturally Amara fit into his life. Slowly, their questions turned into acceptance. Adrian didn’t just want Amara to become part of his world.

He wanted to help her build a world of her own. Her dream restaurant was finally becoming possible. Months later, Amara’s dream finally opened its doors. The restaurant carried her vision, her recipes, and her name. And Adrian stood nearby, proud of the woman who had never needed a title to prove her worth. Then, came the moment Amara never expected. Adrian had one final question.

This time, there was no deadline attached. She said yes. Not because he was a prince. Not because of the mansion or the family name. But, because Adrian had become the person she trusted most. The wedding was everything the family had once imagined. But, it was also completely different from what they expected.

The prince had not chosen a perfect candidate. He had chosen his best friend. The 90-day deadline had started as a family ultimatum. Instead, it became the beginning of an entirely different future. A future neither Adrian nor Amara could have planned. Amara never stopped being a chef. Adrian never stopped being a prince.

But together, they built a relationship where neither person had become someone else. Sometimes the person you are searching for isn’t the person everyone expects. Sometimes love begins when two people stop pretending and simply become honest. Like, subscribe, and tell us where you’re watching from. Red heart.
