"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

<p>Life was great, l was engaged to my best friend and his best friends were my best friends. But that was not enough for me, l know it was not enough for him too, he just couldn't bring himself to admit that because it meant starting afresh and that's something Darke has always been afraid of</p>

<p>When we met, he was all that a girl could dream about. Better than any of my expectations, but that wasn't enough. I never believed it until l was in a relationship when they say, love is not enough, let's not forget the age gap. I also didn't want to feel like l was trapping him, as the silent whispers that seemed to follow me everywhere always said in their menacing tone</p>
