“So, you plan to cover it up like this?”
“My wife is finally returning to her daily life. I no longer wish to stir up this matter. It’s sad to lose a daughter, but my wife is more precious to me.”
“Precious…”
“Shouldn’t people look to the future, not the past?”
It was a strong statement.
Bake smiled, not hiding his intended message.
No matter how great the love, what good does it do? He was a foolish father who left his only offspring, his own flesh and blood, to die without a word.
Moreover, the woman he loved was something he would never be able to obtain.
Once again, he was the winner.
“I understand. If the position of Creighton is such, even we, the royal family, cannot meddle in the matter any further. The investigation into the death of Meriel Creighton will be terminated as is.”
“I’ve grown fond of seeing your face so often lately, but it seems we won’t meet anymore.”
“Yes, that’s right. The compensation matter isn’t my job. And also…”
Calix stopped speaking and stared at Bake for a moment.
However, it was only a moment, and he turned his head away.
“Well, I must be on my way.”
“I won’t go far. After all, I didn’t even want to.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Your Highness! Your Highness! There’s a big problem!”
At the sound of the servant loudly knocking and calling, a deep crease formed on Bake’s forehead.
Creighton was showing off his noble demeanor to Calix, but the servant’s rude behaviour was unacceptable.
“Talk after the guest leaves. I’m free after that.”
“The Lady fell from the window.”
“What are you saying. Did Riviana.”
“Is she safe?”
Calix, who suddenly intervened, startled the servant.
The man, larger than most, was intimidating just by looking at him. He found it hard to speak.
But because of this, the servant instinctively knew he had to open his mouth.
His fearsome gaze was on the verge of devouring him.
“Well, she, she is, breathing, but she lost so much blood…”
“Don’t stutter and speak properly. She lost blood, and then what?”
“No one, um, can guarantee her life.”
With those words, the servant’s eyes rolled back in his head. He fainted while still standing.
Calix brushed the annoying servant aside and took long strides. His steps were more akin to running than walking.
Bake just stared blankly at him for a moment, then hurriedly ran out and blocked Calix’s path.
“You should go now, guest.”
“Move.”
“Move? On what right do you say that? Riviana is my wife. My wife.”
His threatening black eyes wouldn’t back down, but neither would his pride.
The more he thought about it, the more Bake gritted his teeth and held his head high.
“Don’t get me wrong. Riviana is not your lover, but my wife. And this is a matter between us, as a couple.”
“……”
“There’s no room for an outsider like you to intervene, so stop meddling and continue on your way. That’s the best courtesy you can show to an exlover.”
“Courtesy?”
“Yes. Courtesy. Oh, you haven’t forgotten your manners while living in the countryside, have you?”
Bake’s lip trembled as he continued to speak.
He was scared, but he never thought he would lose.
Even if he was Calix, he wouldn’t be free from the incident ten years ago.
He had no choice but to turn around in the end.
Just like he did a long time ago.
[This is the time separator]
I don’t know how long I’ve been lying here.
I just knew I’d been asleep for a long time.
Once closed, my eyes did not open easily, and all I could see was pitch darkness.
In reality, the reason Riviana didn’t open her eyes was more due to a lack of will to live.
With great effort, Riviana opened her eyes and stared at the machines keeping her alive.
If she had a bit more strength, she would have wanted to rip all those off and go to Meriel as soon as possible.
Meriel disliked being alone because she liked people so much.
If her mother went with her, she wouldn’t be lonely.
“We were able to save her life for now, but the problem is what happens next.”
“What happens next?”
“Her leg muscles are completely ruined, so even with full treatment, it’s likely that……”
“I said I don’t care how much money it costs!”
Bake roughly grabbed the doctor’s throat.
What remained in Creighton was money. Thanks to this, he was able to secure the best equipment and the best doctors, and create the best medical environment.
He had spent so much money so far, and it was unacceptable to hear weak words now.
“This is not a matter of money. This is not a medical issue that we can solve, and even the patient herself doesn’t have the will to live.”
“Why wouldn’t she want to live! She was perfectly fine! Eating well, sleeping, even grooming herself as usual!”
Raising his voice didn’t help Bake.
No matter how much he strangled the doctor’s neck, making him choke, the doctor’s diagnosis was set.
It was already an extraordinary event to have thrown one’s life from such a high place.
“Are there really no ways?”
Despite having squeezed the doctor’s neck for a while, Bake, who didn’t hear the answer he wanted, let his shoulders sag.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
