Chapter 12 🔞 **** What began in the garden continued in Olivia's bedroom. After his second ejaculation, Theodore came to his senses, but he had no intention of stopping this ecstatic and horrific act. He straightened up his disheveled attire and wrapped Olivia, whose tattered, thin indoor dress barely reached her waist, in his coat and carried her away. Nothing was said between them as they made their way from place to place, trying to stay out of sight. Only a few times during the walk did...

Chapter 11🔞 **** Theodore panted and kissed Olivia's lips for the umpteenth time. She could feel his hands trembling as he slipped the gown from her shoulders. The earthy scent of the night's dew-soaked the soil and the scent of the small country mingled with his body odor and heat, making her head spin. Olivia felt dizzy and threw her arms around his neck. The emotions she's been holding in since before she returned burst forth with tears. The desire to cling to him, the desperation to...

Chapter 10 **** "Theo" "Theodore." A flash of old memories flew by in a flash. Olivia looked up at him, surprised. It was strange to be called Theodore, not by his nickname. They hadn't seen each other since they were children, and there wasn't enough of a relationship left to call each other 'Theo' or 'Via’ anymore. They stood there for a moment, looking at each other without saying a word. Theodore couldn't figure out why she was looking at him with such a complicated face. Sad, pained......

Chapter 9 **** Theodore thought for a moment. Do I really need to tear this up and read it? Everything that must be done is written in the will. What's in here is probably just private talk. An afterthought from his father to him. He could throw it in the fire without reading it. What Pavel wanted to tell him now, he couldn't guess. In the ten years he'd lived at Count Knox's, Pavel had never come to pick him up. Even letters were rarely exchanged. At best, an apology, which he felt compelled...

Chapter 8 **** 2. White night The atmosphere at the dinner table was very strange. It was a funeral day, but there was little wailing and mourning. Distant relatives and guests lingered at a distance, unable to approach, perhaps eager to gauge the new Count’s sympathies, while close relatives hesitated, undecided of his attitude. The dead Count's will was to blame, but the fortune at stake was too great to be spoken of hastily. Theodore, the party, had indicated that he had no intention of...

Chapter 7 **** Until then, Olivia stood still, her face pale. The Marquis of Ascensio approached her. She remained calm and composed, even while everyone in the room was hostile toward her. She carried herself with admirable dignity and authority. "Olivia, you don't look surprised. Did you know the contents of the will?" "I didn't know." Olivia pursed her bloodless lips a little, then shook her head. "If I had known the Count would make such an unjust will, I would have refused." "I do not...

Chapter 6 **** During his lifetime, Pavel did not care for his family. He disowned most of his relatives, even some of his vassals, even though it was his duty as a patriarch to care for his blood relatives. This was because they kept encouraging him to send Peril and Olivia away. This was a much bigger problem than his blindness to the mistress and his wife's unhappiness. He had abandoned his duties as Count of Lutgard, his duties as head of the family. The Marquis of Ascensio himself, who had...

Chapter 5 **** 1. The Will of Count Lutgard On the day of the funeral, it was raining in torrents. It would be a shame if the water accumulated in the grave, which had been dug in advance. As Theodore Lutgard listened to the solemn prayer recited by the priest, he suddenly looked up. Small whispers floated around like dust and reached his ears. "I can't believe she's showing her face at the funeral." "I wouldn't dare, for Theodore’s sake." "It's a stain on the House of Lutgard." "She's the...

Chapter 4 *** It was by chance that Olivia discovered the power of the jewelry box. In her first life, she spent nearly twenty years in this annex. Despairing, hopeless, unable to breathe because life was too much too hard, yet too cowardly to take her own life, she lived in hopes that the day would come when she would die of her own accord. Then one day, in a fit of rage, she was pushed by Loella, and fell against this fireplace and died. "I'm the Empress, I'm his wife! How dare you!" The...

Chapter 3 **** Thud. There was a small sound as the butler, who was about to announce the morning, closed the door again. But no one realized the sound in the bedroom filled with obscene heat. Ezekiel opened his eyes and immediately pulled Olivia's body into his arms. He could still see the lips and teeth marks he left on the nape of her slender, white neck. Last night, he indulged in his desire, but this morning, his lust was raging again. And there was no reason to restrain it. He pulled the...
