Chapter 238
“A mistake?”
My own voice sounded hollow as I asked.
A mistake, a mistake… a mistake, you say.
Had everything he’d done to me become a mistake?
I asked as if entranced.
“Don’t you love me anymore?”
Alexandro Adis averted his gaze downward. In those eyes that had shifted away, countless things seemed to pass through—a vast, shadowed story concealed behind dark curtains.
Yet when our eyes met again, all that remained was the worn husk of exhausted emotion.
“I did love you.”
“…”
“I’m sorry.”
In that moment, I recalled him as he was before losing his memory.
“You will regret this.”
Ah. Was that what he meant?
I had thought he issued that warning because the memory-lost Alexandro Adis would court her, and he wanted to prevent it.
That prediction was only half right.
Alexandro Adis had already known this situation would come to pass.
Because the present him and the past him were different people entirely.
So was I regretting it now?
‘No. I don’t regret it.’
I didn’t regret it. I was simply in pain.
No one had ever made me hurt like this.
Before the end of our relationship, I came to understand, again and again.
So this is what love is.
I experienced love for the first time.
The moment I realized it, love ended.
Yet merely suffering didn’t suit my nature.
“You’re sorry?”
I rose from my chair and moved toward him slowly.
“And then?”
With each step I took, I felt his entire attention focus on me.
“Kanna Adis, what are you—”
Alexandro Adis’s words stopped. I had straddled his lap.
“What are you doing?”
I didn’t answer. Instead, I extended my arms, wrapping them around his neck.
In that instant, I felt every muscle in Alexandro Adis’s body tense violently. The shocking intensity of his tension made me swallow hard. Even the air surrounding us seemed to bristle with sharp edges.
Alexandro Adis was agitated.
Yet his face remained so composed.
The gap between his expression and the body beneath it was almost remarkable.
Kanna Adis was soon intoxicated by a cruel pleasure.
Yes. On the surface, he mimicked the role of a flawless caregiver, yet he was so acutely aware of it. That damned conscience of his left him with no choice.
“Come down.”
Yet his voice was stern, as if telling her that all her thoughts were mere delusions. It was as cold as if he were about to push her away roughly.
“Are you angry because I’m being disrespectful?”
“Kanna Adis.”
“You said you were sorry to me.”
“What does that have to do with anything now?”
“You must pay the price for your sins, Alexandro Adis.”
Kanna Adis spoke while toying with the collar of his crisp shirt.
“Did you really think you could melt someone like a lollipop for days and end it all with a single apology?”
Then, with a soft pop, she undid one button.
“What are you doing?”
“Undoing buttons.”
She spoke with casual composure, her hands moving swiftly. Pop, pop, pop. She unfastened each button that had been meticulously fastened all the way to his neck.
“Don’t play games.”
“It’s not a game—it’s seduction.”
The moment his shirt fell open and his firm chest was revealed, Alexandro Adis seized her wrist with a firm grip. His hand was scorching.
Yet his expression remained oddly composed.
“Stop. Do you want to be dragged away?”
Kanna Adis gazed at his hand gripping her wrist, then feigned a pained expression.
“Ouch, it hurts.”
Almost instantly, the strength drained from his grip. It seemed to be an instinctive reaction.
It was amusing.
This man was truly weak to me after all.
I could hardly believe I had once feared him.
Kanna Adis roughly shook off his hand and resumed undoing the buttons.
“Don’t bluff. You can’t drive me out into that rain. You can’t forcibly tear my hand away.”
Alexandro Adis furrowed his brow as her fingertips continued to brush across his chest.
“Stop.”
“Ask me nicely.”
“Please.”
“More politely.”
“I beg you.”
Those proud features uttering “I beg you” so incongruously.
The fact that even this made my belly ache with dizzying desire proved I had surely lost my mind.
“No. I refuse.”
In that instant, a sharp crack echoed—the armrest he had been gripping with all his might crumbled to powder in his grasp.
“Don’t cross the line.”
Unlike the destroyed armrest, he spoke with remarkable composure.
“I’m not doing this anymore.”
“You say you won’t, but your desire tells a different story, doesn’t it?”
Kanna Adis continued with a smile.
“They say blood doesn’t lie. How true. Your eldest son had the same problem—his body and words never agreed either.”
At her mockery, Alexandro Adis’s lips twisted.
“When you’re acting like such a seductress, what other reaction do you expect?”
Wow. She’s even more formidable than her son.
I wondered if he’d transform like this when he grew older. With such meaningless thoughts, Kanna Adis continued.
“Do you remember? What you did to me when I said I couldn’t?”
Kanna Adis pulled herself forward, settling firmly onto his hardened hips. In that instant, Alexandro Adis’s jaw tensed visibly.
“It was you. So now you think you can end this with a single apology? A true adult takes responsibility for their actions.”
“….”
“So now it’s my turn. That’s only fair.”
Kanna Adis brought her lips close to his ear and whispered.
“Since I learn bad habits quickly from poor upbringing, you bear some responsibility for this too….”
I intended to keep mocking him, to act recklessly like a madwoman.
The most beautiful moment of my life—I was furious that he treated it as nothing but a fleeting mistake.
But I couldn’t continue. With each word I spoke, they all came flying back into my chest like daggers, piercing deep, throbbing and tearing through me.
The pain was so unbearable that my lips could no longer curve upward. Instead, they trembled convulsively.
Yet I held it back.
Holding back, holding back, holding back just a little longer….
“You said I should grow more.”
But I couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“You said you’d wait until I woke up.”
If I’d known it would all vanish like foam, I never would have fallen asleep.
“Liar. How can you just disappear like this….”
My voice wavered with moisture. Kanna Adis clenched her teeth and buried her face in his shoulder, her ragged breathing scattering unevenly.
I don’t want to cry. I don’t want to cry.
I absolutely won’t cry.
Kanna Adis stubbornly suppressed her emotions and spoke through gritted teeth.
“But don’t worry. I can forget everything. All the words you said to me these past few days. All your actions. I can forget and erase it all.”
Yet my voice cracked at the end. My breath caught. My chest burned like molten lava, the pain unbearable.
And yet even this agony felt precious.
I really am mad.
“I’ll leave. I won’t throw tantrums like this again, so one last time, let me….”
Kanna Adis sniffled and closed her eyes.
From his neck came the scent of Alex.
Perhaps that’s why, if I opened my eyes now, he would be there.
That man swept away by the waves of time, drifting to a place where we’d never meet again.
“No.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“I already apologized. So please, grant me this one request. If it ends like this, I think I’ll suffer too much….”
How much time had passed like that?
An eon of conflict stretched between us.
At the end of his torment, Alexandro Adis seemed to lose his strength, his head drooping slowly. He rested it against her shoulder with a soft thud.
Like resignation. Like surrender. Or perhaps like pure anguish.
Then he exhaled a deep sigh that seemed to rise from the depths of his being. And he asked.
“Will you regret this?”
His voice was low and strained.
“Think carefully before you act. You must.”
Suddenly his words cut off. They resumed immediately after.
“No. Just don’t think about anything.”
In the next moment, he pulled her close with fierce intensity. He held her as though imprisoning her in his embrace.
A gasp escaped Kanna Adis’s lips. Every nerve in her body awakened, drenched in rapture.
It was maddeningly exquisite.
This iron-like restraint. This strength that pushed her away yet promised never to release her again. This beautiful delusion.
How sorrowful it was. How transcendent.
“Don’t think about anything. Don’t remember.”
Kanna Adis closed her eyes.
A single tear finally broke free, tracing down her cheek. It gathered at her chin before falling.
“Forget it all. Everything that has happened until now. Everything that will happen from this moment forward.”
“Forget me.”
“Forget everything, and live your own life.”
