Chapter 7

Aurora's POV
I hit my head because I felt crazy. Dante's touch made me lose my mind and even missed my thesis guidance with my lecturer. I might lose time to graduate this year. Because what I know is that my lecturer is a very strict person and will give consequences to students who are not disciplined.
Ah, then what can I do now? Is it better if I call Robert? I want to consult with him because I have no other way out.
Knock knock knock.
I heard a knock on my bedroom door. "Who?"
"Excuse me, Mrs. Aurora, I have prepared breakfast for you."
It was the voice of the servant in this house.
I answered. "Yes."
For some reason I lost my appetite. Maybe it's better if I just go to my parents' house. Well, that's a good choice. I immediately got ready to go there but arrived in front of the fence.
"Open the door!" I ordered the guard at the gate.
"Excuse me, Mr. Aurora, I've prepared breakfast for you." Dante won’t let you go anywhere today.”
I took a deep breath. My fake husband was acting more and more selfishly.
“I can’t. I have to go now.”
I tried to open the gate but he blocked me and made me even more annoyed.
“Sorry, Mr. Dante won’t let you go today.”
I kicked the gate until it made a loud noise. “If you don’t open it then I’ll jump off the fence. I’m not afraid.”
“But Mr. Dante…”
I couldn’t wait for this gatekeeper.
“I’ll take you wherever you go, ma’am.”
I turned around and it was Dante’s men. “That’s good. Why didn’t you do that earlier? Take me to my parents’ house now!”
Finally I was able to get out of this hellish house. I guess I don’t love Dante but I hate him. He acted as if I was a prisoner who had to obey everything he said. I would prove that I was capable of rebelling. Besides, I also have a family who will definitely defend me later.
When I arrived at my parents' house, only my mother was there. "Are you here, Aurora? Where's your husband?"
"Mom, I want to stay here. I can hardly go anywhere there. Besides, this marriage is just a fake marriage, so why should I maintain it?"
I grumbled in front of my mother.
"What are you saying, Aurora? Do you have a problem with your husband?" My mother asked as if my marriage was the marriage I dreamed of.
"Tch, you know, right, mom, my marriage is just a cover for our family's shame. While I don't love him either, so what should I do? I want to divorce him immediately. Can you hire a reliable lawyer?"
I believe that my mother can do anything. She is the figure I can rely on all this time. So I also only want to depend on her.
“Aurora, no matter what, you are married to Dante. Even though it is not the marriage you want, but you cannot play with marriage. You are no longer our responsibility, but you are your husband’s responsibility.”
I took a deep breath. How could my mother change 180 degrees now? She used to always be there for me. Whatever my problems, she was the one who was the front guard for me.
“What, mom? Do you support my marriage to Dante?” I asked seriously.
“What parents want their child’s marriage to end in divorce, Aurora? Including me. I want you to be married forever.”
I clenched my fists. She knew that I was just a substitute bride but she seemed to have high hopes for my marriage.
“I think I am meaningless here too. I hate this marriage, mom.”
I, who intended to stay there longer, immediately changed my mind and wanted to leave my parents’ house where I had been for 21 years, I almost never left the house, but I feel like this time my house is no longer comfortable with me.
“Aurora, where are you going?” My mother called me.
I didn’t want to pay attention to her. So I better meet Laura and ask about the progress of her thesis guidance while I’m also going to finish my thesis without my supervisor.
I arrived in front of Laura’s rented house. Well, she chose to rent a house not far from campus so that it wouldn’t be too far when going to and from campus.
Wait, that’s Robert’s sports bike. Why is he there? Maybe they’re finishing an assignment together but why are they inside Laura’s house? Okay, I’ll just surprise them. I’ll sneak in through the back door because I’m very familiar with Laura’s house.
I passed by the side of the house and I was the one who was surprised that Robert and Laura were …
