Chapter 3 Seeing no intention to open the door, I quietly lay down inside the wardrobe. There was no need to force my way out and upset Dedrick. As a wardrobe monster, being locked inside wasn’t scary—rather, it felt cozy and comfortable. With my body and mind at ease, I drifted into thought. ‘Why is Dedrick so wary of me?’ …The answer was simple: because he didn’t know me. Of course, I never explained who I was to him. People naturally become cautious around the unknown. So, maybe…-

Chapter 3 With a faint frown, Taehyuk deleted the text message from his phone. “…And so, W Construction was selected as the preferred bidder for the acquisition of H Construction,” the executive explained. Taehyuk spoke up. “Isn’t W Construction specialized in residential housing? Can a firm like that handle acquiring H Construction? If I remember correctly, H Construction’s business scope—including civil engineering, plant construction, and overseas projects—is far broader than W…-

Chapter 61 Taehyuk fell completely silent. —I lived my entire life for you. But... the way you look at me now... you look so sad. I just can't bear the thought that my own broken self made you this unhappy. "Ha..." Taehyuk ran a heavy hand back through his hair. “If you drag Seo-ah back to you using nothing but your own desires, she’s going to rot away in the end, too.” Right after his mother's words, Su-bin flashed through his mind—the little girl for whom Seo-ah was the absolute center of…

~Chapter 26~ “You need to choose the evening dress quickly. It takes some time to make one.” Once again, the waiting staff quickly opened the style book for her. Even Harriet, who was waving her hand dismissively, saying it was too much, found her eyes naturally drawn to the elaborate dress illustrations. “You know, there’s that style young ladies like these days. It’s the one with multiple layers of pleated chiffon.” “Oh, that dress? It does take a lot of work, so it’s…-

Chapter 54 The Grand Duchess’s Generosity “How much is the debt?” The Grand Duchess’s voice echoed through the dark street, making the man blink in confusion. Unexpectedly, it had been difficult to collect from the young sisters who were repaying their father’s gambling debt. Every time someone went to collect, rough-looking men in the neighborhood would block their path. To avoid the hassle, they’d shown up earlier than usual, late at night when most men were at the…-

~Chapter 22~ The letter said it wasn’t too late, even now, and that if he just apologized to her father, she would forgive everything. “People who haven’t lost something never admit it even after it’s been taken from them. Well, if she keeps acting foolish like that, it’s good for me.” Suddenly, Harriet came to mind. Even after her uncle drowned and her father inherited the Listerwell title, Harriet didn’t realize her true position for quite some time. She would naturally try to sit…

Chapter 12 As if refusing to allow even the slightest warmth, Taehyuk spoke coldly. Before long, unbuttoning his shirt, Taehyuk turned toward Seo-ah. “Let’s stop wasting time with things neither of us wants to do. Let's just each get what we want. How about it?” Things neither of us wants to do. Those words lodged themselves in Seo-ah’s heart like a piece of ice. It was a heart that had been filled with Taehyuk’s warmth just a tiny bit over the past few days. Through the hole pierced by…

Chapter 58 The Grand Duchess’s Visit That child—it was the same one whose runny nose I wiped at Marie’s inn. As the child tried to run toward me, a young man standing behind quickly grabbed him. “Artis, you have to stay still.” “No! I wanna go!” The child squirmed, trying to break free. “It’s okay. Come here.” I crouched down and gestured with my hand. The child immediately ran over and hugged me tightly. “Goddess!” “I told you, I’m not a goddess.…

Chapter 11 "It's not stubbornness. I'm saying this because I truly believe I can do it." "Fine. Let's say I help you meet Duke Whistler somehow. The Duke is very different from me. If something irritates him, he might just slit your throat on the spot, you know?" It was frustrating that he didn't seem to consider even the possibility of her succeeding, but Alosha decided to understand the losses he could see as a merchant group head. "Alright. Then help me for just one month. If I die before that,…

Chapter 18 "Are you... Duke Whistler?" The host cautiously asked the man, who looked like he'd never even held a kitchen knife, let alone a sword—a man who didn't seem to be 188cm, nor even 180cm for that matter. "I apologize. Duke Whistler was delayed due to a busy schedule. I am Crawler, the Duke's proxy." "Pardon? But the participant themselves must be present for this auction..." "Please don't worry too much. He said he would attend before the event ends, so please continue with…
