The rain tapped against the window of a high-end cafe. Inside, Aries sat alone, looking at a velvet box in her hand. It was a gift for her best friend, Natasha. Today was Natasha’s birthday, and Aries wanted to surprise her.Aries saw Natasha’s car pull up, but Natasha wasn't alone. A man got out with her. It was Julian Thorne—the man Aries was told she had to marry because of a family promise.Aries hid behind a large plant, her heart racing. She saw them laughing. Then, she saw Julian lean in and kiss Natasha. It wasn't just a friendly kiss; it was deep and full of passion."I hate that I have to marry her, Nat," Julian muttered, loud enough for Aries to hear. "My grandfather is forcing my hand. But you are the only one I want."Natasha giggled and adjusted his tie. "It’s okay, Julian. Let him have his way. We will still see each other. Aries is too naive to ever find out."Aries felt like she had been punched in the stomach. Her "best friend" and her "future husband" were mocking her.
