Chapter 235
* * *
This won’t do.
We can’t.
Not like this.
This won’t do….
I gasped the words out repeatedly, whimpering beneath his weight, drenched in that intoxicating warmth.
At some point, I couldn’t remember when that word had vanished from my lips.
I couldn’t pinpoint when or where my reason’s fortress had crumbled entirely. His affection crashed against me like waves, fracturing my resolve piece by piece until it collapsed completely.
All I knew was that the night stretched on endlessly.
That night was everything.
It felt eternal.
* * *
“I’m thirsty….”
Kanna Adis murmured in her sleep.
Her voice was hoarse and ragged, as if it didn’t belong to her. Her throat must have been parched.
Then the warmth that had been intertwined with hers withdrew.
“Wait.”
How much time had passed? Strong hands wrapped around her shoulders and lifted her up.
Kanna Adis opened her eyes as she drank the water offered to her, but she changed her mind and closed them again.
‘Just sleep.’
If I pretend to be awake, then again….
“Are you really that exhausted?”
Instead of answering, Kanna Adis feigned sleep. It wasn’t an act—she was genuinely so tired she felt she might die.
‘I don’t care.’
I’m sleeping. I’m absolutely sleeping.
“I can’t fall asleep.”
“….”
“Why can’t I sleep?”
“….”
“How strange. Have I been cursed?”
At those words, Kanna Adis finally opened her eyes slightly. How cowardly. Using such a cheap tactic.
“That’s impressive. You’re really going to exploit being cursed like that?”
“Exploit? I’m simply trying to spend more precious moments with you.”
He answered shamelessly, immediately wrapping his arms around her waist and drawing her close. Alexandro Adis’s lips descended from her cheek to her eyes to the bridge of her nose.
Soft, gentle kisses fell like raindrops, and Kanna Adis frowned.
“It tickles.”
“I like it.”
“Of course you do.”
“You don’t?”
“I never said I didn’t want to.”
Last night, after a fierce struggle and heated conflict, I realized I couldn’t overcome him. I had completely surrendered to Alexandro’s words, his touch, his lips—everything about him.
I simply couldn’t push him away.
I didn’t want to push him away.
‘Whatever happens, happens.’
So now I’ve half-resigned myself to it.
Just like now.
I wrapped my arms around Alexandro’s neck. Our breaths mingled softly. It became cozy again. My vision blurred and crumbled.
Lost in that haze, I thought: it felt as though I had become the sweetest candy, which Alexandro carefully melted and melted again, until finally he devoured me whole.
“Alex….”
After that, I couldn’t think of anything. I simply gripped his hair, overwhelmed by that intensely sweet sensation.
Even now, in this very moment….
* * *
I barely left the Chamber.
It had been like that for days.
When she said she was hungry, Alexandro brought fruit. When she said she had no strength to move her fingers because of him, he declared he would feed her.
“Fine. Do as you wish.”
I leaned against Alexandro’s chest and sat. Then I accepted the strawberries he offered, one by one.
“I remember when you picked wild berries for me.”
“That’s right. Back then, I thought you were a mad woman.”
With parted lips, he pushed another strawberry into my mouth. Then, without warning, he lowered his face and stole a kiss from my lips.
“Sweet.”
My face felt like it would flush all over again. I deliberately changed the subject, feigning composure.
“If my memory doesn’t return tomorrow, let’s go see the Sea. I want to see the Village too.”
“Sounds good.”
“Who would have thought you were hiding in such a small Coastal Village?”
I laughed, rubbing the back of my head against his chest.
“Come to think of it, when I asked you to grant me a divorce, I said I wanted to leave Adis and live in a small Coastal Village.”
“How about that.”
Alexandro sighed, playing with my hair.
“I must have refused outright.”
“Yes. Now that I think about it, I suppose you were trying to protect me.”
“Or perhaps I wanted to keep you by my side. You’re so endearingly transparent.”
“…Were you joking just now?”
“I’m serious.”
“I’d rather you were joking. It’s hardest for me to read what’s inside you. You always had that expression.”
I made an icy cold expression and lowered my voice.
“And with that tone of voice, you always gave only short, clipped answers.”
“I must have been nervous around you and couldn’t speak properly.”
“Why would you be nervous?”
“I don’t know. Does your conscience hurt?”
“So you’re saying you have no conscience right now?”
“Hard to find one.”
“Wow. That’s impressive….”
As I giggled, Alexandro lowered his head again. His lips tasted of strawberries.
“Give me more, strawberry.”
“You ate them all.”
“They were delicious.”
With that, Alexandro pushed his juice-stained finger into my lips.
The sticky juice coating his finger truly tasted of strawberries. I rolled his thick finger inside my mouth before playfully biting it.
Then I glanced up slightly.
Our eyes met.
“….”
I laughed and suddenly shoved Alexandro’s chest, pushing him down. As I settled my weight on top of him, his body trembled.
“Were you planning to climb on top? I’ll have to decline. You’re really heavy, you know.”
I reached out, my hand gliding smoothly down his muscular upper body with not a trace of softness. I traced across his chest and caressed his sharply defined abdomen.
As his breathing grew ragged beneath my touch, a strange sense of conquest began to surge through me.
The way he flushed and came undone beneath my hand was dizzyingly intoxicating.
Had Alexandro felt this way all along? Thinking that, I continued moving my hand.
“Kanna, wait….”
Suddenly Alexandro gasped sharply. I observed him with fascination as his breathing became precarious.
Thump, thump. His heart pounded heavily.
It felt as though I held his wildly thrashing heart overflowing in my palm. His pulse was swollen and seemed ready to burst at any moment.
“Alex.”
He couldn’t answer. All his composure had vanished, replaced by urgency.
“Alex.”
Alexandro’s trembling hand gripped the bed sheet tightly. A low curse escaped his lips unbidden.
His hot breath came faster and faster. It accelerated as though he might tip over at any second, faster and faster still….
At some point, Alexandro’s neck arched sharply backward.
His taut, sweat-dampened nape quivered in spasms. The veins in his neck writhed visibly.
I lost myself for a moment watching his rough, heaving throat. I simply couldn’t look away.
Alexandro, radiating nothing but raw instinct, was obscenely captivating enough to make my mind go blank. My cheeks burned hot.
And I was seized by creeping dread.
Should I even be witnessing Alexandro like this? Such an intimate moment?
Soon all his memories would return. And when they did, that Alexandro would….
“Kanna, come here….”
But in the next moment, he pulled my arm and drew me down onto him. I closed my eyes as his overwhelming warmth pressed against me.
I don’t know anymore.
I truly don’t know anything anymore.
* * *
That night, Alexandro Adis gazed at Kanna sleeping against his arm.
‘She sleeps so soundly.’
Should I buy her some strawberries while she’s asleep? But there wouldn’t be any shops open at this hour.
I’ll have to go out early once dawn breaks, he thought, glancing at the clock.
Still a long way off. For a man unable to sleep, the night stretched endlessly.
‘So I endured all those long hours listening to the malevolent spirits’ voices.’
Alexandro felt a twinge of pity for his future self.
Then, suddenly, a scene came to mind.
A conversation I’d had with Kanna today. She’d complained that I’d refused her request for a divorce.
‘Right… that’s what happened.’
At that moment, I’d been reviewing documents in my Study.
“If you don’t mind, could you spare me a moment?”
At those words, I stopped reviewing the documents and looked up at her.
Kanna. When my gaze met hers, direct and unwavering, an unease stirred within me.
Her eyes held a memory I’d long tried to suppress—one I’d thought I’d finally succeeded in burying.
“Am I not giving you my time right now?”
“There is something I must tell you.”
“Speak.”
“Please grant me a divorce from Duke Valentino.”
“A divorce?”
“The fault lies with the Valentino Family.”
In that moment, Alexandro shuddered. He’d lost count of how many times he’d trembled like this.
It really is you.
When Kanna returned to Adis, I’d anticipated it, but couldn’t be entirely certain. Now, however, I was sure.
You’ve come back, Kanna Adis.
How far did you journey?
To the world of ‘Seon-hee’ you spoke of?
Or back to that past we shared together?
But that hope quickly faded. If you’d gone back to the past, you wouldn’t have pretended not to know me.
“Haha, is it really so disappointing?”
“At this rate, I’ll be crying soon, Alexandro!”
“Why not try clinging to Kanna’s feet instead?”
“Kanna, please remember me! Kanna, please recognize me! Beg like this! Plead like this!”
The malevolent spirits had laughed so mockingly at that disappointment that parts of Kanna’s words had become inaudible….
‘…What?’
As Alexandro retraced that moment, shock seized him. Goosebumps erupted across his entire body.
This was a memory that didn’t exist in his life.
‘What is this memory?’
