Alexis.
Marriage.
That's something I've been avoiding for a couple of years now, I was just 20, the idea of getting married wasn't even pleasant.
My dad though, he needed me to get married with one of the guys whose names had been written down on his stupid list, "Bussiness works like that, sweetheart" He had told me, I almost punched his face.
But then I saw him.
Lucas.
The guy who had grown up by my side, who came asking for a job when he was homeless and who my father called "his best man". I needed him, he needed to be at least my boyfriend until dad forgets about the marriage thing.
No feelings, no problems. Right?
He is my last chance.

I wish I knew what I was getting myself into.
