Eric’s voice reached Rose.
Despite being divorced, Eric’s attitude of referring to himself as “his woman” was amusing to Rose.
Feeling awkward, Rose tried to say something to Eric, but the Duke was faster.
“You’ve got the wrong location. Your woman isn’t here. She’s eagerly waiting for you behind there.”
Duke Artem Douma promptly drew a line at Eric’s words and added another comment.
“Leaving the bride alone on such a day. You’re really lacking, sir.”
The Duke lightly tapped Eric’s shoulder and flashed a cold smile.
Rose briefly glanced behind Eric, catching a glimpse of Beliar. Beliar had a rigid expression, staring piercingly in their direction.
Somehow, she felt a sense of guilt toward the woman named Beliar. She had only intended to harm one person, Doana, but now it seemed to have entangled the innocent Beliar as well.
‘I should really go now.’
Rose, thinking that she should leave before the ceremony began, considered her departure.
“That’s right. You haven’t changed in your inability with women, then and now.”
Playing along with Duke Artem Douma’s words, Rose slyly grabbed his hand.
“Do better in your second marriage.”
Rose swept her gaze up and down on Eric and raised one corner of her mouth.
“Don’t get dumped again.”
“…What?”
Surprised by Rose’s unexpected words, Eric stared at her.
He had expected Rose to cling to him, crying and begging. However, she stood confidently, acting boldly.
Moreover, being dumped? Me?
“Who said I got dumped by anyone!”
Late in his protest, Rose and the Duke were already walking away.
Taking the Duke’s escort, Rose elegantly moved her steps.
As they passed through the crowded area and were about to completely leave the temple, Rose noticed the familiar hem of someone’s dress at the corner of the temple.
Sitting huddled and bowing her head was Doana.
Seemingly fleeing from people who ridiculed her, she had sought refuge in a secluded place.
‘Hmm, should I just walk past without saying anything?’
Contemplating, Rose, who had been following Doana, suddenly slowed down her steps. Then, she offered a greeting to Doana, an unnecessary one.
“Oh my, Doana. You’re here. I thought you’d leave without even saying hello.”
As Rose’s gentle voice reached her, Doana involuntarily flinched.
‘Just pass by…!’
Doana pretended not to hear anything and did not respond.
Her face must be a mess from crying a lot. Indeed, panda-like smudged mascara covered Doana’s eyes.
“What can you do if you’re no longer a countess? Don’t be too heartbroken and forget about it. What can you do? Blame your unfortunate fate as a maid born into servitude.”
Rose deliberately chose her words, scratching at Doana’s innermost feelings, and smiled kindly.
“Ah, and it might be better not to remove the bandages. People say your face is hideous, disgusting.”
“……!”
Doana, who hadn’t responded at all until now, finally reacted. With her eyes wide open, she turned around.
“You, you…!”
Doana, filled with venomous eyes, was about to retort to Rose. However, facing Rose, who was about to rush towards her, Doana had to meekly lower her hand.
‘Oh, my…!’
Because Duke Artem Douma, with icy glares, was looking at her threateningly by Rose’s side.
She quickly turned her head and avoided the confrontation.
Rose watched Doana’s retreating figure for a moment and then resumed walking.
Rose’s steps leaving the temple were remarkably light.
Seeing Doana suffering more profoundly than what Rose had done to her, a sense of joy welled up in a corner of Rose’s heart.
‘Feels strange.’
Today’s events were a significant deviation for her, who had lived without uttering a single unpleasant word to others.
Rose boarded the carriage, grasping her fluttering heart, and without saying a word, looked out the window. The raised corners of her mouth didn’t come down.
She felt good.
Observing Rose’s widened smile, Duke Artem Douma thought to himself, ‘I made the right choice.’
He didn’t like Eric, who had humiliated Rose, but seeing Rose enjoying herself so much made him unexpectedly happy.
“Well, let’s head to the bank now.”
“Yes, sounds good.”
Rose responded to the Duke with a bright smile.
The words she delivered must have caused a significant wound to Doana. However, Rose felt no remorse, let alone regret.
Even if people throw stones at her, claiming she is wicked, Rose’s heart remained unchanged.
The saying that forgiveness is the best form of revenge is just nonsense.
Especially for someone like Doana, who doesn’t reflect on her own mistakes.
She never wished for Doana’s happiness even for a day.
So, never be happy, Doana.
“One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million……. ”
Rose’s hand, holding a paper the size of a palm, trembled visibly.
She muttered disbelief as she looked at the amount written on the paper.
“……Unbelievable.”
Was she dreaming?
100 billion… 100 billion!
She had expected the substantial amount of money to be securely in her hands, but seeing it with her own eyes made it different.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
