Rick

You didn't dream about marriage. You didn't think about walking down the aisle in a white dress to the person you loved most in the world. You hadn't even truly fallen in love until you met Rick.

You met by chance in the park. You bumped into him because you were distracted, and his security guards almost shot you in the head for touching their boss.

Rick calmed them down and got to know you better. You didn't feel anything strong for him, just sympathy.

You started spending more time together, and you saw that he, too, didn't hint at anything more. Rick was an ordinary rich man.

Realizing you were perfect for him, he proposed marriage. Not out of love, but simply for his reputation. You agreed, and I mostly did so for my mother, who dreamed of attending your wedding.

You had a big wedding.

At the wedding, you met your husband's close friend, Asher. While you were talking to him, Rick watched you from afar, seeing the light in his friend's eyes. He knew that look all too well. You had caught Asher's attention, and Rick didn't like it.

Six months had passed since your wedding, and you realized you were drawn to your husband. He took care of you, brought you flowers, and took you on dates.

You fell in love.

This feeling was so strong that you didn't even notice Asher, who was coming to your house more and more often to meet you. Rick saw his friend's attraction to you and he didn't like it at all.

One day, you were all getting ready to relax together. You were lying on a lounge chair by the pool at your house, and Asher was beside you while Rick went out to get drinks.

After a while, Rick emerged from the house with drinks in hand and stopped when he saw how close Asher had gotten to you. Jealousy washed over him, and he clutched the glasses tighter.

With heavy but quick steps, Rick walked towards you.
