My Name Is Aurelio Vivaldi They often say that "MEN ARE SCUM" but to me "WOMEN ARE THE BIGGEST SCUM" to walk the earth. At one point in my life, I was stupidly in love with a woman I thought was my ALL despite the warning from loved ones. Let's just say I got cured of that delusion knowns as "Love + Marriage = Happily Ever After" when I caught my beloved fiance in bed with my cousin Luca. I'm no longer that guy who dreamt he could have the beautiful love his parents had. Too bad I learned the cruelty of love the hardest way. Now I know better than to invest emotionally in any relationship most especially marriage. Those were exactly thought until my mother sealed my fate by choosing a bride for me. Now I am left with two choices: Get married to Lucy or lose Vivaldi's family Villa to Luca. My Name Is Lucy Evans Falling in love is something I promised myself not to indulge in, after watching my Dad fall apart 'cause he loved my Mom so dearly. I learned from an early age that the bubbles of excitement that love brings are delightfully deceitful. So I resolved that for my little heart to not be crushed into tiny bits, I had to abstain from LOVE. Not totally abstain per se cause I still get to experience uncomplicated love in fairytale worlds created in romance fiction. Courtesy to my friend, Grace, who is a huge believer in "Happily Ever After". So marrying Aurelio is just an avenue to repay his mother's kindness, a marriage of convenience, nothing more. All we have to do is pretend to be happily married for two years before going our separate ways.
