“I have enjoyed it so far. Miss Philone, this is a token of my sincerity.”
A white envelope was placed over the messy trail while the man rubbed his cigarette into an ashtray and finally let it out the last line.
“If it’s not enough, please do tell me.”
A neat and cool voice, as if measured by a ruler. Rowena bit her lips while watching this disgustingly cold breakup notice.
She felt like a vulgar woman who sold her laughter on a single piece of silver.
“Ha… haha… … .”
So.. this is the end.
She let out miserable laughter Instead of anger, The man who was trying to turn the doorknob stopped and turned back at the sound of flat laughter.
Rowena blinked desperately to capture his look through her blurred vision.
A black suit that draws a perfect silhouette with a body with broad shoulders, tall height, and fine muscles. Black hair that brushed up without any disruption, sharply arched eyebrows, and pale blue eyes that were indescribable.
Frowning his brow, he questioned.
“What is funny?”
“At least once…..”
“….”
“Did you love me at least once?”
A heavy silence fell with her trembling question. Blinking slowly, he replied.
“Not at all.”
Hot tears ran down her cheeks. The pledge never to cling to each other has melted into resentment, anger, and sadness.
Rowena raised her back slowly at the villain.
“You are the devil. You played with me, didn’t you?”
“…….”
“I was just… a young, innocent girl who was excited about going up to the capital.”
A dark shadow fell over her head. As he approached, he brushed under her chin with his index finger and lifted it
“so.”
She swallowed a wet breath with a deep, low voice. It was hot as if it had been burned even though it was just contacted. He asked, looking down at Rowena, who was unable to move.
“Did I force you to get drunk?”
“…….”
“We enjoyed it together. We’re both drunk.”
The man who stroked her lower jaw a couple of times as if dealing with a dog turned around.
“Then take care. Miss Philone.”
Killian Devonshire, third in line to the throne, the queen’s nephew, with three titles, four islands, and a seat in the supreme council.
It was 15 days after that the Duke Devonshire of Rockford was married.
That was five years ago.
***
That’s why.
“Rowena.”
She couldn’t understand him who naturally stepped into her territory as if he had just broken up with her yesterday.
“You must have had a lot of money, the amount I gave you wasn’t small, but you’re living a miserable life.”
Her heart was torn by his action, looking at the small house as if he was looking at a dumpster. Rowena raised the blade as she rolled up her lower lip and said
“……be careful what you say. I have no idea why you came all the way here.”
Killian, who came in without sincerity, changed into indoor shoes, sat down on the couch. He searched through his suit, pulled out a cigarette, and suddenly said.
“Start over.”
…what?
Her head turned white as if it was bleached. Rowena, who blinked her eyes because she couldn’t figure out what she had heard, opened her trembling lips.
“You…”
“…….”
“Don’t you remember throwing money and abandoning me?”
“That’s why.”
“… … I beg your pardon?”
“I’ll pick up what I threw away.”
Killian, who answered plainly, sat comfortably his back against the couch and his long legs crossed.
While she was frozen by an uninvited guest invading without warning, he lit the fire at the end of the cigarette. she felt suffocated by spreading cigarette smoke.
“That’s right..!”
It was the moment when Rowena, who came to her senses belatedly, roughly took the cigarette from his hand.
a profit from one’s talent
An old door opened from the inside.
“Demian!”
“Mom…?”
“Close the door!”
Rowena, who shouted at the slightly visible child, moved toward the door as if to protect her son from him and stared fiercely at the intruder.
“I…., get out.”
Rowena swallowed dry saliva. Her heart was beating steeply and her hands were shaking.
Did he see her face? Did he notice that he looked like him?
While she was as blue as a prisoner about to be sentenced to death, a short, dismal laugh penetrated her ears.
“Haha!”
“…Killian.”
“I didn’t expect that you have been so quick, but in the meantime, it must have been sweet.”
His mouth was smiling, but his gaze on Rowena was dreadful. He stood up from his seat, showing his desire to break the door and pull out the baby in the room right away.
“You must have met a new man? Hmm?”
The man who quickly erased her from his life as if changing into a new mask was still elegant and still as perfect. Rowena backed away from Killian, who was approaching her.
“Ahhhh…”
However, her escape route was short, it wasn’t long until she felt the hard wall against her back, as he slowly narrowed the distance between them, and stopped when he was facing her.
“ugh!”
With his head looking down at her, he held her chin with one hand and lifted it up. He struggled with her lips, but when he bit her lower lip, she had no choice but to open her mouth in pain.
“Ha….”
Their lips entangled and shortly she was enjoying herself as if the five-year gap was natural to overlook.
The bitter taste of cigarettes with smoke-filled her, reaching the end of her throat.
A fire broke out in Rowena’s eyes.
part
The next moment, he slowly straightened his head and parted their lips. As soon as their eyes met, Rowena breathed briefly at the madness she could see.
“Choose, Miss Philone.”
Crazy…… crazy person.
Killian, who smiled satisfactorily at her white face, tapped Rowena’s cheek with his index finger.
“Will you be my mistress again? or will you die with your child on the street?”
Rowena closed her eyes tightly in despair that fell upon her head.
It wasn’t an option.
It was a notice that he would make it so.
Killian Devonshire, the devil, is a man who’ll remain unchanged
She knew it
After all, She’s been that man’s mistress for three years.
