࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 13 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. Kain's face, which had grown gaunt from weight loss, filled out nicely. The dullness in her skin and the luster in her hair returned. Before full-scale coloring began, Kain had completely recovered her former beauty. "As expected, my eye never fails. You will be my ultimate masterpiece." She was now able to smile even at the painter's words, which would have creeped her out before. "I thought I told you not to smile." Though the painter himself didn't actually…-

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 12 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. Did she just call me Kain? Eve stared at the man with a stunned expression. His face, brimming with urgency, was quite handsome, but in the eyes of Eve—who had recently laid eyes on Kamien—............ Never mind. That wasn't important right now. "I don't know when the monastery will notice we've disappeared. If we get caught, we're finished!!" Are we running away from a monastery right now? Right on cue, a fierce gust of wind clawed at Eve's hair. The…

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 11 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. "Belper Mansion holds mysterious powers accumulated over hundreds of years. The fragile human will is easily twisted and warped." Kamien’s fingertips lightly brushed against the old rosary. "Anything will do, as long as it is not religion. Something that makes Eve truly herself. Grab hold of that one thing and never let it go." His hand slowly pulled away. Even though his skin barely touched Eve’s, her flesh burned strangely. To shake off that sensation,…

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 10 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. Transferring all property and rights to an outsider who wasn't even a family member would surely involve a complex and cumbersome process. Eve understood that reality. However, she wanted to decline Madame Persona's 'help'. She expected her to give birth within three years? Using a man provided by her? “I am not a broodmare meant to produce children.” “I apologize if I offended you. How could anyone treat the master of Belper like mere…

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 09 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. “A match?” Madame Persona gazed at her with watery, clouded eyes, as if she couldn't understand what the problem was. Eve had a strange sense of deja vu, as if she had seen those very eyes before. I feel like I've met this woman somewhere before. She wasn't entirely certain, however. Eve calmly opened her mouth. “Madame Persona. I appreciate the gesture, but it hasn't even been a week since I got married, and—” And I literally killed that husband…

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 08 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. It was a night where sleep refused to come. Eve, pulling the blanket up to her chin, cast a sidelong glance at the painting hanging on the wall. The ornate gold-trimmed frame was stubbornly exposing its plain wooden backboard. It was because Eve had flipped the portrait around. Do I not even have the courage to face his face calmly……? Just recalling Gain’s head spinning wildly made her marrow run cold. She hadn't dared to tear the frame completely off the…

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 07 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. A short while later, Doris’s face brightened as she saw her younger sister appearing from among the statues. “Eve! You really did come to save me?” Doris seemed oblivious to the conversation Eve had just shared with Kamien. Perhaps she had been too terrified to hear it, or perhaps something uncanny had interfered. “I hate to break it to you, but I didn't come to save you, Sister.” “What?” “You’ve done plenty of wrong things to me, haven't…

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 06 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. Hide wasn't the only one who arrived. Not content with just bringing his pregnant sister-in-law, he had even dragged along his married eldest sister. “Hello, Eve?” “Doris! What brings you here…?” “I’ve been staying at my parents’ house for a few days. I thought I should at least see your face before you got married. You have no idea how disappointed I was when I heard you already left.” Doris spat those words out with a gorgeous, arrogant…

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 05 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. "Kamien!" Julian shouted the man's name, practically frothing at the mouth. "What are you doing?! Are you trying to protect that lowly wench?" Julian was truly Serian's brother. It meant his way of speaking was quite cheap. "I told you that bitch killed my brother?! Blinded by money, she came here to sell her body, and now she has the nerve to take over our mansion and try to sleep with you too!" When did I ever. Julian grunted, trying to pull his fist out of…

࣪ ִֶָ☾. Chapter 04 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. Eve tried not to let her hands tremble as she put the teapot down. "Are you okay? You look pale, Master." The woman in the portrait poked her translucent face out. She came so close, looking Eve up and down, that Eve almost screamed. "I-I just have a bit of a headache." "Oh? Didn't you receive treatment last night?" "Treatment?" "You must have had a dream. A very grown-up one!" The woman in the portrait covered her mouth and giggled. She seemed to know…
