Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 62
“And even if Hilrust doesn’t know, Vasquez is literally just a means of pressuring His Majesty by sheer numbers. You understand that, don’t you?”
“Of course I do. It’s a family not even affiliated with the Guild. But still, no matter how fallen they may be, they’re one of the Sacred Eight Houses. Even their name can’t be ignored.”
“I’ll make sure you won’t have to worry about it much longer.”
“So you went and broke Vasquez’s ankle, then?”
The moment those words were spoken, Leonard clamped his mouth shut. Seeing Leonard—who had always carried himself with confidence—drawn back for the first time, Gabriel grinned and said,
“Do you really think I wouldn’t know what happens within the capital?”
“It seems you aren’t busy with state affairs these days. You’re even listening in on such trivial matters.”
“When I thought about why you’d suddenly go to Vasquez and break their ankle, it occurred to me—your disciple is a Vasquez.”
“It just irritated me.”
“Ha! You? If it truly irritated you, you’d have killed them. Not merely crushed their ankle. It’s a family already on the brink of ruin—who would even care if Archduke Vasquez dropped dead suddenly?”
Gabriel’s words were too precise for Leonard to think of any rebuttal. Regardless of what Leonard said, he just kept on chattering away gleefully.
“This makes me terribly curious. Why the ankle of all things, and not the neck? But then, coincidentally! Your disciple just so happened to injure their ankle and is now recuperating at the mansion—just a few days before you broke Vasquez’s ankle. Isn’t that a truly astonishing coincidence?”
“Indeed it is.”
Leonard immediately feigned ignorance in response to Gabriel’s exaggerated excitement.
“And that’s not all. I heard you carried your disciple out halfway through Saracen’s banquet. You, who always treated women like stones! Even that Elfenbaum girl didn’t stir any interest in you before.”
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.
