"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.

Deep In The Mud

The wedding proceedings went smoothly and the feeling of finally being Mrs Hilden Smith was the best thing in the world. I felt like l was floating on air. It was a feeling l never wanted to give up because l finally felt like l belong

I had always heard of what happiness feels like but l was unable to experience it. It is unlike what l have heard but l guess we all have different experiences and feelings

Hilden was playing his part. Tending to all my needs whether it would be giving me food, escorting me to the bathroom or the simple act of pulling out my chair

I felt wanted and desired, like someone who saw me and said to themselves 'damn. I want her'. O have always been alone, fighting for what l want and deserve and love was never on the cards but l was going to give myself a chance. Whether it ends badly or not because l deserve it too
