Nathanial Miles and Adelaide Winston had been best friends since they were ten years old. They may have been as different as chalk and cheese but they were always there for each other. Addy's life was going as well as could be expected of any twenty five year old. She had a fine job and a new apartment with her boyfriend of going on a year, Stanford. The most important thing in her life though was still Nate. Stanford often complained that she spent more time with Nate than him but Addy couldn't help it. Nate had seen her through a lot of her life, whether good or bad. He was her rock, the one person she could always depend on. So when Addy finds out that Stanford has been sleeping with one of her co-workers, she of course turns to Nate. The one person she knew she could trust more than anything. Her wonderful best friend offers her everything from the keys to his front door to a new job. Between ex's trying to take from them, they stand together as always. She knew that her heart had been with her best friend for many, many years. All she could wonder was if Nate felt the same for her.

I looked up at the star filled night sky as the tears I had been holding back poured out of my eyes uncontrollably. My life changed in an blink of an eye so to say. Two months ago, two months ago I was just a normal teenage girl going into womanhood. Now I am the wife to the one and only Triumph heir. I didn't want this nor did he. He, my husband. Well only legally so to say. Zephyr Zeus Triumph weds Evangelique Diamond Thornton. No one in their wildest dreams would have ever imagined a girl like me getting married to him. He was every woman's fantasy and desire. His eyes, oh his killer eyes that make my breathing heavy everytime that I get to look at them, which has only been 2 times so far. He was the notoriously infamous, multimillionaire womanizer that girls like me should stay away from and guys like him disliked. Heck, even I wouldn't have thought or imagined of such a drastic change in my life. But life is full of surprises and it never goes as planned. My life from being a straight perfectly paved road had suddenly took the worst twists and turns. I wasn't given a choice and neither was he. Our families forced us in matrimony as a deal sealer to the amalgamation of the Diamond and Triumph empire. I knew he never liked me, no man was ever attracted to me. I don't know was it because of my father's overprotectiveness of constantly surrounding me with guards or was I really not beautiful at all. Our marriage was a deal, nothing but a contract or a piece of paper as he called it. But the way he treated me and acted with me in the very few times we were forced to be together, had proved that he knew something that I didn't. Sometimes I just give up and let myself believe that it's nothing but the fact that he genuinely hates me. As I was just settling down as a newly wed, my life took a turn again. For the better or worst, I have yet to find out myself.

I smiled again, this time I noticed Nick looking across the table in my direction. His gaze was intense, there was something about it. It was intense, intimidating, sensual, but charming all at the same time. Stop it Tessa. Said my subconscious. You two couldn't even bare to be in the same room with one another a few weeks ago. Stop you do not find him attractive. I kept thinking that telling myself this would help me...but it didn't. He moved his index finger along the rim of his glass, I every so often would catch his bright green- gray eyes look in my direction. I looked down at my hands which were cupped together in my lap. Stop it Tess! "I'll help you clear the plates." His mother said to his father, after we ate. They both stood up and took the plates into the kitchen. Leaving me alone with him. Crap.
