Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 74
“I have a past I want to hide too. Can’t you just pretend not to know? Can’t you treat me as if I were someone who’s been loved since birth, as if I never had any dark past at all?”
“That’s exactly why I didn’t ask! I never asked you what happened in your past or what else went on with Archduke Vasquez—I just used a bit of money to get rid of your father, the one you hated so much. What exactly are you so unhappy about?”
Leonard, who had been suppressing his emotions tightly, finally exploded. To him, she was infuriating.
After all the care and consideration he’d shown Cordelia, this was her response? He felt utterly betrayed.
“I know very well that you changed my life, Master. I’ve always been grateful. But that doesn’t mean you get to control my life however you please. What’s my complaint, you ask? You bought me from my father. Fifty thousand ringkits a month.”
“…….”
“Was there ever any say from me? Were my opinion, my thoughts, ever taken into account? Why didn’t you ever ask me once? I’m not your property or my father’s!”
She shouted with her whole body.
No tears came. It felt as though someone had plunged a spear into her chest and ripped it out, leaving a gaping hole. She felt as if she’d stepped into a bottomless pit.
Despite Cordelia’s desperate cry, Leonard replied coldly.
“If I’d truly seen you as my property, I would’ve just killed your father for daring to tarnish what was mine. That would’ve been far easier. But because I care about you, I went through the trouble of paying Vasquez monthly to handle it. Why can’t you understand? Does it really hurt your pride so much that I didn’t tell you beforehand?”
Pride.
To Leonard, this was clearly nothing more than Cordelia’s petty pride. With a strangely twisted expression—neither smiling nor crying—she spoke.
“……Yes. It hurts my pride. Because you’ve made me the most pitiful person in the world, Master.”
“Pitiful? Hah… You still care only about your own feelings, don’t you? You don’t care at all why I made that choice.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
Cordelia’s life is heartbreaking. Almost everyone around her (excluding Leonard, her mother, and Lani) has used, abused, or harbored ill intentions toward her, despite her only wanting to help everyone.
I hate this. I loved this story so far but is she serious?? These type of fls pmo man. He was literally ready to sacrifice himself and clearly didn’t mind the fact that she’s half-demon why does SHE care so much 😭😣
I’m kind of upset she’s ashamed of her fathers blood in her he’s such a cutie 💔
It was finally going so well…but like always she learns something new and takes a step back. Hopefully she will soon properly communicate with him.
