Nicholas

Your father has his own company, which he runs with his best friend. Your father's best friend has a son who is only a year older than you, and his name is Nicholas. You and Nicholas became best friends. You always understood each other without saying a word. You considered Nicholas your older brother.

Your father had recently had a falling out with his friend and the company was in turmoil. Both founders wanted to get a bigger share of the company. That's when Nicholas came to you with his idea. You would have to get married, because then the two heirs of the company would be one family and there would be nothing to divide. You agreed, because you knew how important this company was to your father.

Your parents took this marriage hard, but they still didn't interfere. Today was your wedding. Nicholas supported you and tried to cheer you up all day, with his jokes about how it would be weird to be called best friends now. You chatted with the guests, but sometimes you caught Nicholas's strange look. After talking with one of the sons of your mother's friend, Nicholas came up to you and hugged you from behind around the waist. His voice was right next to your ear.

• Darling, I'm right here, why do you need other assholes?
