บททั้งหมดของ Not His Destiny : บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 66

Dante left Annette with me, so I didn't have to go back home before heading straight to the supermarket. I also take the chance to look around for a new shop, something small and well located but not too central. I don’t know how much Dante plans to give me, or if I should even take it, considering we’re not married yet, but I shop like I have more money than I actually do.Everything in town is twice the size of anything in the rural areas, and the prices are just as ridiculous. One of the landlords told me, “You’ll have to go further out toward the rural areas to find the kind of store you’re looking for.” His nose was practically in the air. “That’s the only place you’ll find people willing to buy food from a dirty rogue.”Another thing that bothers me about opening a restaurant here is how people don’t hide what they think. The ones who like you say it. The ones who don’t? They don’t hold back. Even a pair of kids walking by shout, “Look, it’s a filthy rogue!”Then they laugh an

We walk to Salvatore’s place, it’s a lot closer than I expected. It’s one of the smaller houses with low roofs, the kind of place I always imagined he’d live in since he’s so adamant about not starting another family or settling down.“Here we go.” He flips on the light, revealing an almost empty living room, just a beige colored couch from his old place and a 32 inch TV hanging from the wall. “I haven’t finished furnishing yet.”In reality, this is how our new house should’ve been. But Dante furnished it so fast, with money I didn’t even know he had.I drop onto the couch, only to spot what looks like a bra strap tucked between the cushions. I pull it out and hold it up. “You’ve been enjoying yourself,” I say with a light smirk.He drops his groceries and lunges for it like a drowning man. I let him take it easily, laughing.“It’s not what you think,” he says, blushing as he tosses the bra into the bedroom.“Oh? So you’re into bras now?”He sighs and drops onto the couch beside me. “

I have no one. The thought stings my eyes. In this alpha society and all the others that exist, I have no one to turn to. The only place rogues are allowed to move freely is the wild. The night gets colder, and I start worrying about Mom, Lia, and Elvira. I know I have to go back for them and find a way to leave this relationship, but I just can’t bring myself to turn around.Dante is still following me, but now he is not saying anything. If I go back, he’ll think he’s won, that I really have no choice but to keep enduring his affair with Luciana. Am I being unreasonable? All I asked was for him to tell me if he wants her more, if he wants to be with her. Why did he have to go behind my back?I start crossing the road. The busy market street bustles with cars and people closing up shop and hurrying home. I couldn’t even find a shop to rent, they were all way beyond my budget. If I had, maybe I could have slept there tonight.“Cici,” Dante grabs my arm and yanks me back. “Watch wher
