Eric was the only one feeling regretful now. He grabbed Doana’s waist, standing in front of him, and forcefully sat her on his lap.
“Do… Do you have to go now?”
Eric’s hands wrapped around Doana’s waist. His face flushed, he stared at Doana.
Seeing her eyes slightly open, Doana’s seduction seemed to have been quite provocative.
In fact, in less than 3 minutes, she could have surrendered to Eric, pretending to be overpowered, but she didn’t want to do that now.
Rather than appeasing Eric and playing nice, adjusting her wedding dress, which she will wear tomorrow, was more important.
“The guest is from my mother, I can’t make them wait too long.”
Doana came up with the excuse and escaped from Eric’s arms.
His disappointed expression, as if tasting something bitter, was not important to her. She went to the reception room following the servant with a bright expression.
Doana walked with more confidence than ever.
“Ah, the former countess liked Doana.”
“Really?”
“Yes. She decided to set the wedding immediately after seeing Doana.”
“What in the world?”
“A rise in status really happens in a blink.”
“If Doana can do it, there’s hope for me, right?”
“Uhig, stop talking nonsense.”
Because Tercia said that Eric’s wedding would be held immediately tomorrow and to prepare, the mansion was noisy with the business of Doana and Eric.
People anticipated that Doana would be the bride tomorrow. This was because Tercia ordered to prepare for the wedding as soon as she saw Doana.
Looking at people bowing their heads to her, Doana smirked victoriously.
Among them, there were quite a few people who had ignored Doana. When their eyes met with Doana, they avoided her gaze as if they had seen a ghost.
“You should’ve been kind to me from the beginning. You’ve all been checked.”
Murmuring to herself, she paced with a bounce in her step. When she arrived at the reception room, the servants respectfully opened the door.
Doana felt rather cocky about being treated. Without lifting a finger, she opened the door and walked in gracefully.
The servants prepared her seat with a cushion in advance and prepared finger food and rooibos tea, which she recently enjoyed.
Her nose was high at the sight of everything being prepared without a word.
“Yes, this is the taste of power.”
The servants were busy checking whether she needed anything else or if there was anything uncomfortable. Seeing the servants looking after her, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Previously, the majority ignored her…
‘Now, they seem to want to get in line.’
Before she could take her seat as a countess, she had expelled Gwen and divorced Rose.
With power in her hands, they knew better than anyone what could happen.
“Hello. I am the chief designer of Moniblanc.”
“Nice to meet you. I am Doana.”
Doana, towards the designer greeting her, tilted her head arrogantly.
The chief designer of Moniblanc’s eyes narrowed, but it was only for a moment. She smiled and spoke to Doana.
“Oh, your proportions are good. Anything will suit you well.”
“Well, it may, but still, make it as extravagant as possible. It’s a onceinalifetime wedding, it can’t look cheap.”
In her previous life, she had favored only the highest quality at her wedding.
In Korea, she held her wedding at the most expensive hotel and even rented a highend dress that ordinary people couldn’t even afford to look at.
Due to his parents cutting off financial support, they had to run the wedding with Lee Dohyun’s money. There were troubles, but in the end, Lee Dohyun did everything she wanted.
“Gorgeous…”
Upon hearing Doana’s words, Moniblan’s chief designer hinted ominously.
“Well, if you want, I can make you stand out more than anyone else at the venue tomorrow.”
“You’re stating the obvious. I am the star of tomorrow’s event. So you have to make me much more glamorous than anyone else. Doesn’t a chief designer have even that much basic sense?”
Doana spoke as if she was looking down on the designer.
The designer of Moniblan was from a famous family. Thus, she couldn’t stand being looked down upon by a mere maid of commoner origin. But,
“I should let this one pass since it’s a favor for my sister Tersia.”
She forcibly suppressed her rising anger.
For Tersia, who was a regular customer and a close friend.
“Well, isn’t it a bad idea to go overboard?”
“You don’t know a thing. For a wedding, going over the top is the best. With glamour and sparkle. If you keep it modest, you won’t even look like you spent money.”
Doana emphasized again, recalling the luxurious wedding she had in Korea.
The designer of Moniblan smiled deeply, saying she would do as Doana wished.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Have you been out?”
Rose, who was alone in the Serviat house, went downstairs at the sound of the door opening.
The Serviat couple entered the house with a complex expression.
“Is there a problem?”
Looking at their uneasy expressions, Rose asked worriedly.
“Should I say this……”
“Tell her it’s good news. It’s best not to tell Rose.”
Demon spoke in a very firm tone, in contrast to Rivera, who was pondering whether to speak or not.
Demon repeated his words not to say anything, and went to the bathroom first, saying he would take a shower.
“Mother, what’s going on?”
“Your father said not to say… I think there’s no need to tell you about this.”
Rivera firmly closed her mouth and didn’t seem to want to say anything more.
Perhaps due to the survival instincts developed living in a novel, even without saying a word, Rose knew who caused their reaction.
“I know it’s something related to Eric.”
“How did you know?”
She was a woman who was deaf to subtleties in Korea, but she guessed correctly this time.
Rose’s words shook Rivera’s pupils like a deer.
In a situation where they were even divorced, there was only one thing worth hiding.
Eric’s remarriage.
If a friend’s husband gets remarried just a day after the divorce, she would want to hide it too.
“I already know about Eric’s remarriage.”
Rose pretended to know everything, although she didn’t know a thing. And Rivera fell for it.
“Ah, you knew?”
“No, I didn’t know, but I’m sure after seeing your reaction just now.”
Rose nodded her head, contrary to her inner thoughts. Since it was not the person she truly loved, she wasn’t hurt at all.
“Well, since you already know everything, there’s nothing to hide.”
In front of Rose’s calm face, Rivera hesitantly handed something over.
It was a wedding invitation.
“A woman who is still in contact with your mother told me. They are getting married tomorrow.”
Seeing her husband’s wedding invitation for the second time.
It was a relief that this time it was the ‘ex’ husband.
Rose silently looked at the names written on the wedding invitation.
Groom Eric De Wens and bride….
“….Huh?”
Reading the name of the bride, Rose tilted her head. She thought Doana’s name would be there.
Groom Eric De Wens, Bride Belliana Decar.
The invitation had a different woman’s name, not Doana’s.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
