I desperately looked around. But in the dark alley, there was no one else. Ternya’s grip on me was firm, and he had a weapon.
Idrish, save me.
I closed my eyes tightly and thought of him, but there was no way he could know that I was here in this vast place.
“Ternya, let’s just put that down and talk. I don’t know what’s going on, but there’s no reason for you and me to…”
“Tell me right now where Idrish Atygra is.”
The moment that name came out of Ternya’s mouth, I lost my will to resist and stiffened.
Idrish?
I couldn’t believe it.
How did Ternya find out Idrish’s true identity?
Until now, no one had recognized him.
Except for the Serbyan family, everyone believed Idrish Atygra was dead.
But how did Ternya…
Who is this person, really?
“And what are you two doing on my land, deceiving me?”
“My land?”
My voice trembled faintly.
“You still don’t know? Or are you pretending not to know? I am Terminus Roberto.”
I blinked rapidly.
Ternya’s real name wasn’t Ternya?
Roberto was the name of this territory and the noble family’s name.
So… Ternya was the next lord of Roberto?
Terminus was a name I knew from the novel.
I had been so careless, never thinking that someone else might be hiding their identity.
I only knew his name as Ternya!
“Ternya, I mean Terminus. It’s a misunderstanding, really. Let’s put this down and talk. It’s true that he’s Idrish, but we’re not here for the reasons you think.”
“Sila, do you trust that wicked Atygra?”
“Idrish… yes. I trust him. He’s not the person you think he is.”
Ternya let out a short sigh that reached my throat.
“I will kill Idrish.”
Ternya let out a short sigh that reached my throat.
“I will kill Idrish.”
Ternya’s words, devoid of warmth, plunged my vision into darkness.
“I-Idrish, why… If you’re going to kill him, you’ll have to kill me first, Ternya.”
“No, please, gather your senses, my goddess. Atygra is not the right person for you. He’s using you.”
“Ternya, you really need to snap out of it! You’re thinking completely wrong right now!”
I used all my might.
Why was Ternya so angry? We hadn’t done anything wrong since we arrived in Roberto!
“Well, it can’t be helped. I tried to think that somehow he wasn’t related, but… My heart is truly torn to shreds. I can’t show mercy anymore.”
The knife edged closer to my throat. Something cold touched my neck. I broke into a cold sweat all over.
“Please, Ternya, please don’t do this. Just listen to me a little more.”
“It’s too late, Sila.”
Ternya refused to engage in conversation with me.
I tightly shut my eyes. I had no idea what to do.
And then, it happened.
The air trembled heavily.
No, it wasn’t just the air; it seemed to spread from the ground.
It felt like something invisible was pressing down on me from above to below, making it hard to breathe.
I had experienced this sensation before.
But this time, it was much stronger.
I felt like I wasn’t the only one experiencing it. Ternya’s body also stiffened. I heard him grinding his teeth in an attempt to break free from this pressure.
A thick cloud passed over the large full moon that had been illuminating the streets, casting everything into pitch darkness.
“Release her immediately.”
A voice, cloud-like and distant, resonated from somewhere. In the darkness that revealed nothing, a pair of yellow eyes gleamed. The pupils dilated and constricted like a hungry beast ready to devour everyone.
Was this what a demon from hell would be like?
I felt instinctual fear but also deep relief.
Idrish, it’s too late.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
As Idrish approached, the weight of the air increased.
“Ugh… This is Atygra’s ability. You were right about Idrish.”
Even Terminus’s voice trembled.
In the blink of an eye, Idrish, who had come dangerously close, firmly grasped Terminus’s wrist. His long, muscular arm had veins that stood out grotesquely. Terminus’s arm trembled.
“What are you doing with Sila?”
In contrast, Idrish’s calm voice seemed demonic.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
