"There is only one happiness in this life and that is to be loved" - George sand

Aurora has always been the 'unattractive, unattainable' girl throughout her whole life. No man has ever approached her with the intention of courting her, rather they approached her to learn more about her best friend. She was better known as a 'DUFF'. But now with her best friend dead and a baby depending on her, she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage that will test and strengthen her character. Like most 21st century women, she views herself as a feminist. One who doesn't believe in love. She views love as a Capitalist movement created to control unsuspecting minds while breaking their bank accounts. But she finds herself falling in love with a man. Not just any man, her friends boyfriend who also happens to be her husband.

I felt suffocated by the immense amount of attention that for a second l began to feel light headed until l remembered that l had yet to see Akai. The last l had been in her presence was in the car

"Everyone stop!" I shouted at the small crowd causing them all to stop and look at me confused by my reaction to the situation

"She's in the house where we are headed anyway. We need to get you ready for the wedding ceremony" my mom said like a little kid on Christmas
