"It's not worth mentioning. It's become a meaningless marriage." It was a calm answer, but it was filled with an irrepressible antipathy. A meaningless marriage and a wife who had lost her usefulness, all of it was making him uncomfortable. It was only natural, since he had suffered a huge loss because of Irene Whitfield. "I told you. It would be a marriage that was a waste of you." Sernia took a step forward with a subtle smile. "Why don't…-

At this point, he should have withdrawn that unpleasant smile and composure. Kaiden only showed a moment of agitation, but he was still calm. Does he have a hidden card? The Duke's wrinkled eyes narrowed. Kaiden Hegwins was a businessman who did not care about the means and methods. Of course, no matter what he was thinking, victory was determined. Kaiden lost 60 million Verne under the pretext of a marriage dowry. Was that all? Kaiden's business, which…

It was a sleepless dawn. For an unknown amount of time, Irene replayed Kaiden's cold attitude. He had never been angry. Whenever she expressed her disappointment, he would come to her late at night, hug her, and give her a light kiss. He used to be like that... Now he was lying with his back turned. She could hear his shallow breathing. Looking at his large, broad back, Irene clenched the bedsheets. What went wrong? What made him so…

Irene was slightly surprised and opened her eyes. Kaiden's eyes were calm and composed, which was not like a joke. The question he just threw was not simple curiosity. "I want us to be painted as lovers.” The words he added in a low voice drove the wedge in. Kaiden and I becoming lovers. It was an assumption that felt like a dream. Irene quietly took a breath and looked at Kaiden. The past few months she had spent with him came…

Irene ended the conversation with a short greeting. Irene unfolded the pamphlet she had picked up at the entrance. The pamphlet contained detailed information about the paintings she had been curious about. She was reading through it carefully when a shadow fell over her. She looked up and smiled brightly. "Mr. Hegwins. When did you get here?" "I just arrived. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long." "Not at all. I was so…

Irene straightened her back, stiff as a board. Steam rose from the teacup, and soft sunlight streamed through the curtains. Even the antique furniture in the drawing room, all familiar as it belonged to the Whitfield family, felt foreign. Kaiden Hegwins. It was because of the man who seemed so out of place here. "I trust you've been well." Kaiden said, setting down his teacup. His demeanor was one of grace and composure. Irene,…

Wednesday, 3 p.m. at the Ciprienne Hotel lounge. Her counterpart was said to be Kaiden Heggwins, a rising capitalist. "He said he wanted to talk to you about the Eldenbergman estate. Find out why he's after that land." Repeating the words she'd been told, Irene checked the time. 2:50. She had been pacing in front of the hotel for twenty minutes now. She knew she couldn't afford to be late, and yet, her feet wouldn't move. She was afraid of the stares. Of…

"Why are you suddenly giving me money?" The hollow question lingered in the air. Those gathered in the bedroom only looked at Irene with eyes full of pity and compassion. "What is this divorce agreement even about? It’s not like I’m going to lose my hearing forever." Irene forced a smile. Her composed expression contrasted with the trembling hand that clutched the envelope. Her wavering blue eyes, lost in confusion, soon fixed on one…

Siho's mouth opened slightly in a silent "Ah" shape. As his gaze drifted far away and he seemed to sink into thought with a blank expression, Jeongmi was certain that he had not known this fact. "This may be difficult to hear, but the reason Esper Kang Jaeyun treated Guide Kwon Siho so... um... violently in the gate was because he encountered a guide while in a state of guiding depletion." Watching Siho's condition as he remained motionless, lost in thought with a distant gaze,…-

Jaeyun closed his eyes and sank back into thought. My guide. My heart. He was certain that Siho's fate would change depending on his answer to this question. And that if he told the truth, he might no longer be able to call Siho his guide. "There was a very brief frictional skin contact inside the dungeon at the beginning, and one instance of skin contact when blocking a monster's attack, for a total of two instances of skin contact. Even then, I felt no energy, and…
