In a grand corridor adorned with all sorts of jewels, showing just how much money was spent on it,
Slap-
The man who ruthlessly slapped across my face was none other than my fianc, Damian Keane Daeus, the Grand Duke.
His erald green irises went along well with his sharp eyes that angled upwards.
They seed to stare at , not as his fianc, but as a complete enemy. The deep animosity towards was clearly visible in his eyes.
You dare make Lilian cry?
I tasted the bitter blood in my mouth and felt my cheek begin to swell. But I, the one who had just been slapped, didnt feel anything.
There was once a ti when I believed that the man in front of , who was currently convinced I had done sothing I hadnt, was my destined soulmate.
But not anymore.
The only feeling left in was not love, hate, or resentnt but re annoyance.
Without saying anything, I slowly shifted my gaze to the slender woman Damian was holding, Lilian.
Lilian, a woman with lovely, long orange hair. Her large and beautiful, deep pink eyes were filled with large, round tears.
With an appearance so beautiful that one would think of her as a painting, she gently lifted the corners of her mouth while holding onto Damians arm and said,
Im alright, Damian.
After saying so, Lilian gave what was clearly a mocking smile. As if she were the victor.
I looked at Lilian expressionlessly and shifted my gaze back to my fianc.
Then I called his na softly,
Damian.
With his jet-black hair, distinctive nose, dazzlingly white skin, and bright erald eyes, he was undeniably handso.
Just a few years ago, there were days when I would follow him around after falling in love with him at first sight.
But, of course, he never spared a single glance. So in order to attract his attention, I used the healing ability that had been passed down through the Earl Serkia family and cured his long-term illness.
After witnessing my ability, Damian proposed to , and despite knowing that he was using , I foolishly accepted his proposal.
I was just a nominal fianc, but I thought if I put in the effort, he might look back at at least once.
Aren.
The only tis my fianc called in a sweet voice was when he had injuries, but to , those were the only monts I could touch his body.
His treatnt towards was sowhat bearable until one day, after continuing to delay the marriage through various excuses, he suddenly brought a woman nad Lilian.
Aren, heal this woman. Please.
At the request of my fianc, I saved the life of a woman who was on the brink of death with my healing abilities.
Where is this?
Are you awake now?
When the woman, who seed to be on the verge of death, opened her eyes, Damian was overjoyed.
Naturally, all of Damians attention shifted to Lilian.
Well, Ive witnessed Damian and Lilian sharing love in my own bedroom, so she was essentially the true mistress of the dukes house.
Hah
With that, all my emotions began to fade away.
I had lived with Damian in the dukes mansion for three years.
Through the three years that could be considered a long yet short period, I realized that all my efforts had been futile.
Why did I only realize this now?
No. In fact, I had known this for a long ti.
It was just that I loved the man before so much that I chose to turn away and deny the truth.
Damian. If that is what you wish
Im giving up on everything.
Lets break our engagent.
What?
Upon hearing my words, Damian made a dumb expression, as if he had heard sothing he shouldnt have.
The intruder will now take their leave, so the two of you can now live happily ever after on your own.
Aren!
Damian shouted my na in anger. I could see a reflection through his green eyes.
It was the reflection of a platinum-haired woman who was devoid of any emotion.
I briefly gazed at my reflection in his eyes before removing the engagent ring from my left ring finger.
It was the diamond ring that I had never taken off since I got engaged to him. Pulling off what I once believed to be a symbol of our love, I threw it onto the floor without any regret.
Ping-
The cold tal made a sharp sound as it landed on the floor.
Damian looked at and at the engagent ring in disbelief as he held Lilian in his arms.
Likely surprised that I would dare propose to break off the engagent, Damian had a dumbfounded face, and as he pursed his lips
Well then, Ill leave the two of you alone.
With those as my final words, I walked past the frozen couple.
Or rather, I tried to.
Aren!
Damian aggressively grabbed my wrist as I tried to leave the scene.
Break off the engagent? What is Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?
Just as I said.
What?
The stupid woman of the Serkia family that couldnt help but love you no longer exists, Damian. So this is the end of our engagent.
I slowly reiterated to him every single word.
Perhaps not thinking I would utter such words, Damians hand trembled faintly as he held onto my wrist.
Smack-
And I used that opportunity to shake off his hand and try to leave that hellish place. To discard the garbage that I once believed to be love and find my true life.
But there was one thing I had overlooked.
Damian Keane Daeus, the Grand Duke, my ex-fianc, was a much crazier man than I thought.
Sching-
Sothing sharp flew from behind, piercing right through my heart. I looked down at the blade that pierced my heart as I was trying to leave.
Cough!
Caught off guard by an unexpected assault, my body lost balance and swayed.
Thud-
I collapsed on the spot, clutching my heart.
The last thing I saw as my consciousness faded away was a man with pitch-black hair and erald-green eyes, a man whom I once loved.
I thought you were a nice, obedient girl.
Damian
I cant let others use your abilities, can I? Isnt that right, Aren?
