Aurora said goodbye to her father, kissed her mother, and went home to rest.

Aurora took a bath to relax and review the contract.

You will have staff to do everything for you...

If you fail to comply with any of this, you will have to pay a sum of one million dollars.

After reading the contract, Aurora started to think things through.

(Aurora)

I hadn't thought that marrying him means having relations with him and also, why does he want me to quit my job? This seems ridiculous. Instead, I'll be his slave for one year.

Aurora 📱: Excuse me, I have a doubt.

Andrew 📱: I think everything is very well detailed.

Aurora 📱: I don't want to quit my job.

Andrew 📱: Aurora, that's the contract, take it or leave it. Have a good night.

Andrew hung up, and she called Sofia.

Sofia 📱: Hi, friend. How's everything going?

Aurora 📱: Not good. Can you come and spend the night with me? We can talk here.

Sofia 📱: Of course, I'm on my way to your house.

Aurora 📱: I'll be waiting here.

Aurora prepared some snacks for her and Sofia, and after a while, Sofia arrived.

Aurora: Come in, friend. Let's go to my room.

Sofia: Let's go, you have so much to tell.

Both of them went up to Aurora's room.

Look at the contract.

Sofia read it.

Sofia: Wow, it's demanding, but you haven't told me who this old guy is.

Aurora: His name is Andrew Walker.

Sofia: Whaaaat? That man who looks like he's been sculpted by the Gods?

Aurora: Do you know him?

Sofia: Of course, he's one of the richest businessmen. But what are you going to do?

Aurora: I have no choice. I'll sign it. My father wants to sell even this house.

Sofia: It will only be one year, friend. What could go wrong? You'll be married to a hunk and enjoy privileges.

Aurora: The only thing that matters to me is my mother's recovery.

Sofia: I know, friend, and I think you have no other option.

Aurora: Then I'll sign, and as soon as my mother gets operated on, I'll talk to my dad. Tomorrow I'll speak with Jacob, even though he doesn't deserve it, it's better to end things definitively.

Sofia: That sounds good, friend. Honestly, I didn't see a future with Jacob. Maybe once this year is over, you can find someone else.

Aurora: Perhaps, friend.

Aurora signed the papers. There was no turning back, and she went to sleep.

The next morning, Aurora went to the hospital, and her sister went to school. Sofia dropped her off at the hospital, and during lunchtime, she arranged to meet Jacob since she hadn't seen him despite all the problems.

Aurora left the hospital and went to the café near there, where she found Jacob.

Jacob: Hi, my love. I've missed you.

Aurora: Hello, me too.

Aurora sat down to talk with Jacob while they ate.

Jacob: Are you okay?

Aurora: No, Jacob.

Jacob: What's wrong?

Aurora: Jacob, I called you here because I have to talk to you about something very difficult.

Jacob: You're scaring me, Aurora. Tell me what's going on.

Aurora: Jacob, I came to end our relationship and ask for forgiveness for everything I'm about to do.

Jacob: Aurora, tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can fix it.

Aurora: It's not about you, just forgive me.

Aurora stood up and left the cafeteria feeling very sad.

(Andrew)

I left my office during lunchtime to find Aurora and discuss if she wanted to change something in the contract. But I saw her leaving in a hurry, and I got curious, so I followed her to a café. From my car, I could see that she met her boyfriend.

It made me angry, and I suppose she's not interested in my contract anymore. But after a while, I saw her leaving, crying, and I called out to her.

Aurora: What are you doing here?

Andrew: I happened to be passing by and saw you. Are you okay?

Aurora: No, I'm not okay, and it's because of you. And since I have the chance, take your contract.

Aurora threw the folder at him and left for the hospital...
