SPMB - Chapter 183

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"You know very well."

Kanna responded calmly.

"I can no longer continue my relationship with Your Highness. No, I don't want to."

"Tatyana!"

"Your Highness deceived me."

Alexei's face turned pale. Kanna looked straight into his eyes.

"I will be fooled like a fool again whenever you want. Like now."

"Tatyana, I'm sorry. Really..."

"I can no longer trust you."

"I was afraid of losing you."

Yes, it seems. His eyes and hands were drenched in fear that Kanna might leave him. That's probably why he made such a foolish decision.

"Sorry. Tatyana, please forgive me just this once."

However, Kanna did not waver at all. She didn't even have the heart to waver. Because her affection for him is shattering even at this very moment.

"Too bad."

Kanna really liked Alexei, and as much as she liked him, she was disappointed. Alexei was the person closest to her in this world. He was the most trusting person.

But that person lost her trust. He used his power and connections to completely deceive her. He made a fool of her.

That's why Kanna could no longer trust him like she used to.

"This relationship can't last any longer."

At her firm words, Alexei's face began to very slowly, slowly turn cold.

"Are you going to end it like this?"

"Yes."

"No. I will never finish it."

"Don't be mistaken. This is not something that can be done by your will alone."

"You love me too. So please don't give up on me so easily."

Alexei caressed Kanna's cheek with a trembling hand.

"I am yours."

Just as she was about to shoot, the door slammed open. Kanna and Alexei turned their heads at the same time.

It was Lorenzo.

"Prince?"

Lorenzo's face distorted as he glared at Kanna and Alexei alternately.

"What are you two doing now?"

"Lorenzo."

Alexei sighed and put his head down as if he was in pain.

"It's not your business to interfere."

"My brother is engaged! But what are you doing with Tatyana?

"This bastard..."

"Tatyana, did you trick me? Are you really Alexei's mistress?"

The boy's face was stained with betrayal.

"You said no to me!"

It was a mess. Kanna pushed Alexei back and approached Lorenzo.

"I'm sorry for not being honest with you at the time. But..."

"Don't touch me!"

Slap! 

Lorenzo shook off Kanna's outstretched hand. He had a very hurt face.

"Liar, you fooled me!"

Then he turned around and ran away.

"Wait, Prince!"

Kanna hurriedly ran out after him.

Whatever the reason, it was true that Lorenzo had been deceived. Whether she apologized or explained, she couldn't leave it like this.

Lorenzo ran as if running away and stopped in the middle of the garden. His stroke turned and he glared at her.

Kanna gasped and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry for lying. I wanted to avoid being embroiled in scandal as much as possible. So..." 

"Do you like my brother?"

"Yes."

Kanna let out a sigh.

"I liked him until I heard about the engagement." 

Lorenzo's face fell. He clenched his fists and then turned around again.

"Don't follow me." 

This time. Kanna could no longer chase Lorenzo.

'Oh, damn it.'

Kanna covered her face with both hands. Lorenzo's trust was completely lost. Because she lied that she was not the mistress of his respected brother Alexei and that she would never do anything to honor Alexei.

Wasn't she angry that he had been deceived by Alexei?

It was worth losing trust. It's a good thing to be self-employed.

"Tatyana."

Alexei, who had followed her, called her name softly.

Then he pulled her by the waist and held her in his arms.

"Please understand."

"..."

"I love you."

At that moment, the hand that was trying to shake him off lost strength.

It wasn't because Kanna was weak-heart. She was so disappointed. It was terribly empty.

This sudden reality, where she could no longer say 'me too', was painful. At that time, Alexei lifted her chin and kissed her lips.

Kanna quickly pushed him away.

"Clean it up. Don't do this anymore."

"Tatyana."

"My intention remains the same. I have nothing more to say, so please go back."

Alexei eventually backed down in response to the cold rejection.

"Let's go back first. But remember, I can't give up on you."

Kanna couldn't hold back any longer and spewed out harsh words. 

"Stop talking nonsense. Your Highness. Because you seem like a crazy person."

"Do you know that now?"

Alexei smiled bitterly and turned his back. As he left, Kanna let out a moan and placed her hands on her head.

'Ah... really.' 

What's this?

What is this?

Annoying. Kanna was really so annoyed that she wanted to scream.

It was then. A rustling sound was heard from above.

Kanna looked startled and raised her head. And then she met green eyes.

A white-haired man was sitting on a tree.

"Wren?"

Wren was smoking a cigarette, looking down at her. As he took a deep breath, the embers burned bright red. And then, with a huff, he spat out smoke.

Is it because he was staring at her the whole time? 

A humiliation flashed through her as if Wren had blown his smoke into her own face.

But of course, it was an illusion. Because not even the scent of his cigarette reached where she was. 

"... Where did you start seeing?"

Wren took another puff on his cigarette. He answered with a puff of smoke.

"All."

Then he lightly jumped down and stood in front of her. Wren twisted the corner of his mouth into a smile. He whispered mockingly or praisingly.

"You are very kind, my client."

What?

But there was no time to ask any more questions. Wren just passed her by. Only the bitter scent of his cigarette remained and passed her nose.

Kanna watched his back as he walked away and placed her hand on her chest.

Perhaps because of the strange feeling of discomfort from a moment ago, her heart was beating rapidly.

'What just happened?'

Those eyes just now. She thinks she saw it somewhere... Because his shell is the same as Kalen's.

Kanna calmed her nerves and took a step forward. She was already far away and walked behind Wren.

Kanna had something to give to Wren.

***

In front of her bedroom. She is trying to collect the money she lent.

Kanna went into the room with him.

"Sit on the sofa for a moment and wait."

"Yes."

Kanna approached the storage door in the room. There was a safe in this warehouse. The moment she put the key in, Kanna noticed.

The door is open.

It's not locked.

'I made sure I locked the key and left.'

But it is open.

It sounded like someone had gone inside.

'I have the only key.'

Kanna walked quickly into the dark warehouse.

"Oh my God..."

The lock on the safe was broken and the safe door was clearly open.

And there was nothing in it.

When Kanna saw the empty safe, her head turned white. Kanna flopped down in her seat.

Could it be that there was a thief?

But this is the royal family. A place that boasts the strongest security in the country. But a thief in a place like this?

At that time, the faint scent of cigarettes passed through my nose. Kanna turned her head helplessly.

Wren was leaning against the doorway.

"I told you to wait. When did you come?"

"Just now."

Wren only moved his lips with an expressionless face.

"Because it takes so long."

" ..."

"So."

His lips drew an arc.

"What about my money?"

For a moment, an ominous flash passed through her head, no way.

'That doesn't make sense.'

But Kanna soon shook off those doubts.

Wren couldn't have done that. First of all, there wasn't enough time for that.

They had just arrived at the royal palace, and Kanna had only been out of the bedroom for a very short time.

That brief moment when she chased after Lorenzo. At that time, Wren was already out in the garden, smoking a cigarette.

Plus, he came back almost exactly like her. So it was impossible in terms of time.

Above all, Isn't there a reason to do that?

Wren is a mercenary based on trust, and he makes a lot of money doing mercenary work. So there is no way in the royal family doing something stupid like stealing.

Yeah, Wren has no reason to do that. Maybe it's Kalen Addis.

"It looks like there was a thief. All the property I had stored in the safe was gone."

"Thief?"

"Yes."

"So?"

Wren looked straight at her with completely unfazed eyes.

"So what."

Kanna's fingertips tingled at his pitchless voice. For some reason, it seemed as if even the fur on the back of her neck stood up.

"That's your problem. I need to get my money. Right Now."
