The neatly rolled blanket was swept away, and an itching touch brushed over her skin.
The drowsiness that had been about to settle down with a sense of excitement vanished instantly due to the tantalizing sensation.
No matter how you looked at it, staying up all night was truly unexpected.
“Aren’t you going to work, Ms. Chaeha?”
Throwing out the last attempt, what returned was the large hand enveloping her.
And the answer heralding an energetic morning.
“I took a day off.”
The news of the arrest warrant being issued was, for Baek Sara, akin to a death sentence.
Wealth and honor. Position and dignity.
Things she had never imagined losing since birth were now slipping away like sand in the palm of her hand.
Baek Sara looked around her empty eyes at her house.
A home like a perfect fortress, with everything flawlessly in place, symbolized her perfect life.
Although she had lived a princess-like life here, it seemed she might end up in prison, not a detention center.
Revelations and confessions poured out from the mouths of traitors, and the revealed crimes were far more severe than expected.
Already, Baek Jaeyoung had been captured, and now it was her turn.
Chairman Baek and Director Jin advised her to attend voluntarily.
Despite her mother Jin’s suggestion to endure for a while, Baek Sara couldn’t find hope.
Hoping for the arrest warrant to be rejected, she knew all too well the deeds she had committed.
If luck didn’t favor her, she would end up in prison, not a detention center.
After pouring expensive wine that had only been displayed in the liquor cabinet, she lay on the bed, sobbing like a beast.
Cursing, screaming, and expressing anger, she cursed Min Seolwon and Kwon Chaeha.
Her son, Hyeongju, Hyeongjun, Kwon Gangho, even Min Seolwon’s deceased parents, all became objects of her resentment.
The emotion of anger welled up from the depths of her stomach, engulfing her.
Since the day she was humiliated in the Gaesu restaurant, her whole body, whose nerves were strained, looked pitiful to the point she couldn’t bear to look in the mirror.
Heavy makeup, shiny jewels, couldn’t conceal her rotting inner self.
“Damn it!”
Throwing away the wine bottle she was holding, Baek Sara vomited a rough scream.
The sneer Baek Jaeyoung sent her as he was being taken away was unforgettable.
He had boasted about how he should have really pushed her off the breakwater, how he had aggressively snapped at Baek Jaeyoung, who couldn’t even manage the subordinates under him.
That guy could have turned all the accusations against him, but the pathetic child probably wasn’t a double agent.
Indeed, she herself hadn’t escaped a harsh blow from Kang Secretary.
“Aaargh! So annoying!”
Enemies gathered from all directions. It was a situation where she wanted to gather them all in one place and push them away, but now they were out of her reach.
Baek Sara had belittled Min Seolwon as if she were a weed.
But the world highlighted the severity of the situation, emphasizing her as ‘the daughter-in-law of the Chaewoon family’ or ‘the only grandson of the Chaewoon family.’
It felt like blood was rushing in the wrong direction. Everything I wanted, Min Seolwon. Eventually, everything I desired fell into the hands of that woman.
However, the world emphasized the severity of the situation, elevating that woman and that woman’s son as ‘Chaeun-ga’s daughter-in-law’ and ‘Chaeun-ga’s only grandson.’
It felt like blood was rushing in the wrong direction.
Everything I wanted, Min Seolwon. In the end, it fell into the hands of that woman.
“Hahaha… Haha! Hahaha!”
As she staggered to her feet, the wine bottle rolled down with a loud noise.
Several bottles had already been consumed, and empty ones were scattered on the floor.
Having become such a wreck, Min Seolwon was receiving the treatment of Chaeun’s wife, enjoying Kwon Chaeha’s love.
She had never felt the world was unfair to this extent.
Simultaneously, the impulse not to become helpless, sitting here and being taken to prison, surged strongly within her.
Twisting her body without reason, Baek Sara briskly moved towards the parking lot.
It was unclear how long it had been since she experienced the outside air, but the wind touching her face was bitterly cold despite still being autumn.
Sitting roughly in the driver’s seat, she started the engine of her car.
“Wherever, if you’re going to catch, catch!”
Accelerating violently, Baek Sara swiftly turned the steering wheel toward the parking lot.
From the darkness, a foreign car with a distinct color escaped from the princess’s castle.
Only the streetlights in the dark were silently watching her escape.
Not knowing where she was going, she continued to speed up, laughing like a madwoman.
“Do you know how to let the two of them be happy?”
Even in her drunken state, Baek Sara drove for quite a long time, reaching the outskirts of the road.
The speedometer began to show an unreasonable number, and gradually, her consciousness became blurred due to intoxication.
Moreover, tears suddenly burst from her eyes, clouding her vision.
Remorse and anger lingered in her chest.
If only she had pushed Min Seolwon off the breakwater.
That breakwater. The breakwater in Gangwon Province she had secretly followed Kwon Chaeha to once.
“…Huh?”
It was strange.
She was definitely driving on a mountain road, but somewhere the sound of waves crashing could be heard.
At the same time, the breakwater from back then appeared before her eyes.
Startled, Baek Sara violently turned the steering wheel, but the vehicle was already afloat.
Incredibly, she was falling below the breakwater.
There was a faint illusion of the scent of the sea.
Soon after, a loud explosion sounded in her ears, and her eyelids closed along with the nauseating smoke.
In the midst of it all, the fact that she hadn’t maintained her nails for a few days crossed her mind.
This absurd appearance was intolerable.
She tried to move her fingertips, but they wouldn’t budge.
Gradually, as strength left her body, her vision flickered away.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
