"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

It came as a surprise to me that Hilden wanted to talk but most of all it scared me. My fear was justified given what l had heard in their meeting room or whatever that was

So imagine my surprise when he decided to confess everything that he was hiding from. I had no idea what had prompted him to come clean and l couldn't even ask him about him or else he would know that l knew something

Or maybe he wouldn't and l was just overthinking everything. I knew that he wouldn't do anything to physically harm me or Akai because he loves his daughter and his daughter loves and needs me

That was my security. Now l just had to find a way to dissappear without any heads turning in my direction. Many might call me a coward for running but l wasn't about to let Akai grow up with either of her grandparents

Knowing what l know now, l don't know how l had trusted them before. Who knows what they had done to my child when l wasn't in their presence
