When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 31
Stupid Emilia. Why did you make the contract in such a way? She felt as if self-reproachful words were about to spill out of her mouth. At first, it hadn’t seemed like a contract that would disadvantage her, yet with each passing day, it was tightening like a noose around her neck.
Had it simply seemed good enough because all she wanted was to dance ballet? A complicated feeling welled up inside her.
“…You also gave me far too little information in advance. It was all just conjecture, and nothing in the investigation seemed to be making meaningful progress.”
“That might become clearer once we attend the ball.”
“Hah… I’m starting to wonder what the point of this contract even is. I’m even scared you’ll make some other demand later, using the ball as an excuse again.”
Her voice trembled, revealing her increasingly intense emotions.
“What exactly can you even offer me? Aside from showing me your body, is there anything else at all?”
He spoke expressionlessly. His indifferent gaze slid over her body.
“Oh. So you intend to use it in another way.”
It wasn’t even mocking. His tone was low, utterly careless—but strangely, it sounded even more humiliating.
Emilia’s face turned deathly pale. Seeing her unable to utter a word, looking as if she might collapse at any moment, Enrico stood up as if he had nothing more to do with her. His indifferent gaze no longer landed on her at all. Even as his footsteps grew distant, she remained frozen in place for a long while.

Emilia repeated her practice every day. Soaked in sweat, breath coming in gasps, she never stopped. Her ankle, which had occasionally throbbed before, now felt almost numb, as though it had lost all sensation.
“Emilia, take a break!”
Giuliana quietly observed her, noticing how Emilia appeared jittery, almost like someone being chased. In the past, Giuliana would have lightly scolded her to take better care of herself, but Emilia now seemed so strange—rushing forward as if deaf to everything—that Giuliana hesitated to interfere.
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:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
