IELNDMH - Chapter 1 < My Second Husband Was His Highness the Grand Duke >

I Ended Up Living Up Next Door With My Ex-Husband

Damn wishing fountain. Although I always commuted to work, it was the first time I saw a fountain. 

'When did this happen? I didn't see any construction going on.' 

I wanted this to be a good feeling, so I threw a 500-won coin and made a wish. 

Please help my husband become a wonderful person. 

But when I returned home... 

"Babe! This is all a mistake!" 

"Yes, Jae-hee! I'll explain everything!" 

This guy is being an asshole in my bedroom fucking my best friend?

"... What? Misunderstanding?" 

"Okay, misunderstood! We... Oh no! I'll explain everything! Huh? Well, first of all, calm down and start with what I have to say... "

My husband came to me, hastily picking up his panties and putting them on. 

Exactly three days ago, the day my husband failed again to become a film director. These were the luxury panties I gave as a gift to my husband in case he freaked out. But I never thought he would take off those panties in front of my best friend. 

I trust him as a husband, and without a single complaint, I bring him money, cook meals, and even provide emotional support. This is the reward for working so hard to support his dream. 

Anger rose from deep within my lungs.

 "You said you wanted to become a film director, but I guess what you wanted to make was an erotic film?" 

"Honey, I understand you're upset. But why do you talk like that? You know that I'm working hard with the goal of becoming a manager of 10 million people. All I have done is hurt your feelings just by joining...." 

"What coach? Are you a director who earned less than 10 million won in 5 years of marriage?" 

Even at this moment, you are trying to trick me with empty promises. I was so sick of it that I was grinding my teeth. 

"You bastard! Even if you can't make a great movie like Parasite, at least you shouldn't live like a parasite!" 

As I swore, my husband's face distorted grimly. 

"Hey! Have you said everything? You're campaigning to make some money, but if I hit the jackpot, I'll pay back all that money at once! Why are you like this?" 

"Yes, Jae-hee. I understand you're angry, but aren't you being too harsh with Won-ho?" 

Pop.

It was the sound of the string of reason that I was barely holding on to being broken. 

'It would be unreasonable to treat a kite who captures the animal kingdom as a human being.' 

Without hesitation, I threw off my human mask and grabbed my husband by the hair. 

"Ouch! hey! What are you doing without culture? Why don't you stop?" 

"Are you so cultured that you're hanging out with your wife's friend?" 

"Oh, stop! If you keep doing this, are we really going to divorce?!" 

"Divorce?"

I laughed out loud. The anger gauge had already reached the top of my head. I grabbed the guy by the hair with one hand and raised my opposite hand high. 

It will be the last, but I will give you a room that you will never forget. 

"Okay, let's get divorced! You son of a bitch!" 

Oops! 

I put up the swaddle with such force that it turned my body halfway. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. 

'Am I so shocked that I see nothing?' 

The first thing I saw was the ivory-colored marble floor. Next, luxurious medieval furniture and a fireplace. Next, portraits of unknown nobles came into view one after another. 

'This is It... What?'

I must have passed out because I was so upset. So it was clear that I was seeing an illusion. 

'No! I need you to wake up quickly and punch that bitch in the muzzle too!'

I was anxious. That was when I shook my head to wake up from my dream. The voice of an attractive but unfamiliar man was heard. 

"I didn't know. I didn't know your hand strength was this good." 

A low voice that even feels intimidating. I slowly turned my head towards where the sound came from. 

Black hair neatly trimmed with pomade, flawless facial. features and broad shoulders. A straight-angled black suit reminiscent of medieval aristocrats and a silk hanger chief that must be expensive. A stunningly handsome man was standing right in front of me. 

The man who was looking down at me with cool eyes touched his cheek and sneered. 

"This Is the end of my acceptance of your evil."

The man's cheek was red and swollen as if he had just been hit. Who hurt that face...For a moment. 

'Did you just get hit?" 

I tried my best to avoid the man's sharp eyes and assessed the situation. 

'Is that guy saying I hit him in the face?' 

It's not? The person I hit was obviously my cheating husband, right? 

'Why am I here anyway?' 

No matter how I looked at it, it was difficult to understand the current situation. A whirlpool of question marks swirled around. While I was lost in it, I remembered something I had forgotten. 

'Oh, that's right, I fainted.' 

This must be a dream. Did God take pity on me and give me the opportunity to see this incredibly handsome man, even if only in my dreams? But how did they know my tastes and send me a man with the style of a medieval Duke? 

'Thank you very much, but I still have work left to do in this life.'

When my schedule is over, please send this man to my dream one more time tonight. If it were any other time, I would have prayed not to wake up from this dream, but not now. Didn't I just witness my husband naked in bed with my best friend? 

I rekindled my lost fighting spirit and greeted the man. 

"I'm a little busy right now so I'll stop. I'll see you again tonight." 

Then the man glared at me like I was looking at a crazy woman. 

"What is that way of speaking that doesn't belong to you?" 

The man in my dream was faithful to the concept until the end. It's very special. But I'm very busy now. 

"Don't tell me. I need to get back to reality quickly." 

The man's expression distorted once more at my firm words. Either way, I pinched my cheeks hard, hoping to wake up quickly. 

Kuuk! 

"Eww......? Argh!" 

At the same time, a scream erupted. I held my numb cheek and slowly blinked my wide eyes. It hurt. That's huge too. 

Weird...? 

This is clearly a dream, but why... Does it hurt? 

The pinch was so strong that it stung just by brushing my finger against the cheek. It was a time when I was momentarily dazed by the vivid pain. A low sigh was heard. 

"What kind of operation is this time? Are you trying to act crazy because you feel like you can't handle it? If not, does it cause sympathy?" 

The man lowered his gaze slightly and touched his eyebrows with an expression of boredom. Dark eyebrows brushed between his fingers. I stared at it blankly and realized something was strange... 

I can see every single eyebrow. 

'The dream is this vivid?'

I paid close attention again and looked at the man. Although he was so enchantingly handsome that it made me think it was a dream, the man was clearly a living being. Slowly falling eyelashes and distinctive blue eyes were vividly captured. 

'No way, is it really not a dream?'

I need to be sure. I carefully extended my index finger and lightly stabbed the man in the abdomen. The man's abs were as strong as expected. And above all... It was 'real'.

'This isn't a dream, it's reality...?'

That was when I slowly blinked my eyes as I realized it was reality. The man's large hand quickly grabbed my wrist. 

"I would have told you not to touch my body without permission." 

The man's eyes became colder than before. 

"I guess putting your hand on my cheek wasn't enough?" 

A chill like frost dripped from his voice. For a moment, I was frozen by that momentum without realizing it. I tried to calmly organize the current situation. 

That person said I slapped him. Besides, I don't know where it is, but it feels like it's reality. If I wanted to get out of this situation, it seemed like the first priority would be to appease the man in front of me. Even if I were that guy, there's no way I would let go of someone who suddenly slapped me. 

First... Let's start with an apology. 

"Well, I don't know how this happened... I'm really sorry that I slapped you the first time we met. The teacher has every reason to be angry." 

"...First meeting? Teacher?" 

"No, but! Is this absurd to me too?  Of course, just a moment ago, the 'pathetic husband' was right in front of me! So I slapped him in the face to make him come to his senses, but why..." 

As my explanation continued, the man's expression became more and more distorted. He even let out a laugh as if it was absurd. 

'But, Even if it were me, I don't think you would believe me.'

I'm glad he doesn't treat me like I'm crazy!

However, what seemed absurd to the man seemed to be something else. 

"... 'He's a pathetic husband." 

The man emphatically repeated what I said with an expression that made it difficult for him to believe what he heard.

He mumbled those words a couple of times, and then he looked down at me with his jaw stiff. 

"My wife has quite a few ways of humiliating her husband." 

My wife? 

Oh my, this guy is just as crazy as me. I burst out laughing and asked back as if I was telling a joke.

"No, hey, I'm your wife?" 

The man slightly furrowed his eyebrows as if he was displeased with my reaction. 

"Yes. You are still my wife, the Grand Duchess of the Twins Grand Duchy. Too bad she is."

"Ah, yes. It was the Grand Duke. It's also the Twins Grand Duchy...?" 

At that moment, I was speechless due to the sudden ominous feeling. At the same time, a memory flashed by like a flash of light. The Twins Grand Duchy was the fiefdom of the male protagonist in the novel "Your Highness the Grand Duke My Second Husband," which I was reading with great interest. 

'Are you saying I was possessed in the novel, like a possessed object?' 

I thought that way for a while. I immediately. shook my head and laughed helplessly.

What nonsense... There is no way something like that dream could happen in my life. Anyway, that novel was really fun. What was the male lead's name? 

"...Ah, Cedric Twins." 

I finally managed to recall the memory and quietly blurted out the name. Then the man twitched one corner of his mouth with an expression that was unclear whether he liked it or not. 

"You were acting like someone who lost your memory just now, but unfortunately, it looks like you haven't forgotten my name." 

He spoke as if he hoped everyone would forget his name.

'My name? So you're saying I was really possessed in the novel?' 

I looked around again in disbelief. Everything from the furniture and interior to the attire of the man standing in front of me was medieval.

When I lowered my head, I saw that a loose dress was draped over my body, and long red hair was hanging down around my chest. It definitely felt like I was possessed in a novel. 

'If that man is Cedric, the male lead... Who am I?' 

I had an ominous feeling for no reason. I didn't know it, but I had a feeling that I wasn't the female lead.

'Besides, if the male lead is glaring at me like that from the beginning of Possessed Water, I...' 

It was then. The terrifying 'name' came out of Cedric's mouth. 

"Rebecca Twins." 

His face, as he looked down at me, became colder, like a sharp midwinter wind. 

"I hope you mean it when you say you're going to divorce."
