The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 168
The news that Damian Vandermir had been imprisoned on suspicion of murdering his half-brother spread throughout the empire.
The succession struggle within House Vandermir had surfaced, and all sorts of malicious rumors—impossible to verify—began circulating.
Aracila stood by the window, glanced down once again at the journalists camped outside the mansion, and then sharply yanked the curtains shut. Ever since returning home after the New Year’s Festival, she hadn’t stepped outside even once.
The public attention focused on her, whose husband had overnight become an alleged murderer, was overwhelming. Knowing she needed to act quietly to save Damian, Aracila chose seclusion.
Yet still, people refused to give up, swarming like ants to pry into her feelings, which was utterly revolting.
While someone like her was living each day as though her blood were drying up, they treated the whole affair as mere entertainment.
At least the Mage Tower had seriously worried about Aracila and granted her an extended leave, telling her to rest for now—which was a small mercy.
“Madam, are you all right…?”
Audrey asked cautiously, seeing Aracila’s face frozen with coldness. Aracila exhaled a low sigh and nodded.
“I’m fine, Audrey. Especially at times like this, I must stay sharp.”
“Please stay strong, Madam. I’ll be right here with you!”
“Thank you. That’s comforting.”
Aracila offered a faint smile and tossed the newspapers piled on the table into the fireplace. They were nothing but garbage filled with baseless nonsense.
Headlines like “The Tragedy of House Vandermir: The Younger Brother Who Hated His Elder!”, “Knight Damian Vandermir: A Murderer Who Revels in Bloodshed?”, and “Uncovering Damian Vandermir’s Violent Nature” were all over the place.
Aracila roughly ran her fingers through her hair and walked over to her desk, sifting through the basket where her incoming letters were kept.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
