      ETVEWHF 4 Cover
      by cruelty Chapter 4 "What...?" "You don't need to pack anything for me. I'll head out on my own tomorrow." "Absolutely not!" Kristine shouted. Her vision of spending quality time as a whole family was completely ruined. Howard managed to soothe Kristine Blackwood by explaining that he was only stepping out for a few days due to work. Still, the emotion I had picked up beneath the rain-soaked sky was undeniable. Reunited with his wife, Howard had been practically swept up in a wave of tears and raw…

      by cruelty Chapter 3 I swallowed back the swear word threatening to spill out. My subtle standoff with Nigel was cut short by the sudden arrival of Kristine Blackwood. "Ah, you're all here." "Mother?" "Nigel, aren't you thrilled? Howard is arriving soon!" At the thought of seeing the son she had been separated from for over two years, Kristine looked far more excited than usual. "It is a relief that Brother is returning safe and sound," Nigel said with a subtle smile. "He was called off to war so suddenly...…

      ETVEWHF 2 Cover
      by cruelty Chapter 2 Rowina and Kristine didn't get along. To be precise, Kristine just hated Rowina plain and simple. Except for one specific incident, the book didn't offer much detail about Kristine, nor did it dive into Rowina's inner thoughts. So, I tried to piece together what Rowina actually knew. First of all, Rowina’s marriage to Howard had broken an engagement with a family the Blackwoods had been close with for years, completely shattering that relationship. Kristine had been keeping a sharp eye on…

      by cruelty Chapter 1 I woke up with a strange warmth running through me. "Ugh, mm...." I tried to get a word out, but the sound just echoed in my mouth and refused to escape. It didn't take long to figure out why: I was locking lips with some man. My whole body shuddered at the feeling of his mouth moving so intimately against mine. ...Hold on. We’re kissing? I could barely move. Half-lying on a two-seater sofa, I was trapped in his arms and taking his kiss. I tried to resist, but my muscles just wouldn't…

      BOPE 9 Cover
      by cruelty ~Chapter 9~ Donghui was about to say “yes” because her eyes hurt, but then remembered they had charged her 60 points just to open the shop. So she cautiously asked instead, glancing across to check if the butler who had been dozing off had woken up. The butler, apparently quite tired, had now fully dozed off, leaning his head against the wall of the carriage. “Does it also cost points just to look at the sorted list?” – So unnecessarily sharp, aren’t you. To view the sorted list, it’ll…

      BOPE 8 Cover
      by cruelty ~Chapter 8~ Donghee felt unfair—after all, she’d only looked around out of curiosity—but there was nothing she could do about it. “Alright.” When she arrived on the first floor, several servants were already standing in polite posture, waiting for her. Feeling self-conscious, Donghee worried they might notice something strange about her, so she held her head high and quickly passed by them. Delma’s face finally relaxed into a pleased smile when she saw Chloe walking faster. Just as…

      BOPE 7 Cover
      by cruelty ~Chapter 7~ A man was pushed out of the status window as if thrown out, with long, silvery hair shining like moonlight. If it weren’t for his sharp gray eyes and cold smile, he could’ve easily been mistaken for a fairy or an elf because of his incredibly beautiful appearance. Having suddenly appeared, he staggered for a moment before letting out a deep sigh and plopping down on the edge of the bed. “Ha… only 60 seconds.” He raised his right hand to examine the back of it, his perfectly…

      BOPE 6 Cover
      by cruelty ~Chapter 6~ The heart was now twice as big as before and shone even brighter, as if someone had replaced its batteries. With her heart fluttering, Donghee chanted her affection score in her mind and eagerly waited for the screen to appear before her. – The current affection level of the territory residents is –189,450. It had gone up by 40 points. Donghee had only expected it to rise by about 20 at most, so the unexpectedly large increase made her almost shout, “Jackpot!” Not even…

      BOPE 5 Cover
      by cruelty ~Chapter 5~ The way it said there were no living beings, as if it were no big deal, was even scarier. Donghee felt like she had stepped into a scene from a horror movie. Your Earth is currently undergoing !@#$%@#$^$@%&%^ due to !@#%^&!@#$^&)^((^&%$%$#^%.* On top of that, the system window contained incomprehensible words mixed in between. She stared intently at the screen, wondering if she had misheard, but the text was full of unrecognizable characters. “It doesn’t…

      BOPE 4 Cover
      by cruelty ~Chapter 4~ The juice bottle she had been holding was flung onto the bed. The hands stripping off her clothes were just as rough as when she was being shoved into the bathtub. “I’ll do it! I can do it myself!” She shouted in a panic, but it was no use. The nanny swiftly and skillfully removed her jeans and T-shirt, then frowned at the sight of her panties and bra. “Where did you get such indecent things again?!” But when Donghee resisted with all her strength, the nanny gave up on taking…
