Aurelia

Aurelia Marinet Romano.

My parents said that they would marry me off right after I blow my 21st birthday candle.

So I made sure that I would never spend my 21st birthday with them.

I ran away. From them, from my past and my supposed betrothed to live a life to my fullest.

And now after five years, I found myself surrounded by my friends and loved ones who care for me dearly. They don't know who I really am. But I guess that could work. It's better this way. They will be safer.

But that's not what bothers me. It's that guy...... My best friends triplet. I am weirdly attracted to him. He is dangerous, I know. He is unpredictable and no doubt demanding. It scares me. I am afraid it won't be long before I regret agreeing to settle down in India, the place I thought my past was least likely to catch up.

How wrong was I.......
