When I came to my senses, I was crying.
I didn't know why I was crying.
I felt like I was dreaming, but I couldn't remember what it was.
Human emotions are very strange.
Even if it seems to be fine, there are often moments when it suddenly goes on a rampage.
Just like now, when sadness rushes in.
"Ugh."
I curled up under the blanket and curled up.
Tears flowed down my face against my will.
Maybe I was noticing.
Calix might be Mr. Dominic.
But I didn't want to admit it.
I wanted to believe that it was absolutely not.
Otherwise, I felt like I wouldn't be able to sustain myself.
Mr. Dominic had already left my side.
He never came back to me, so if I pretended not to know, I could pass by as if nothing had happened.
Calix could be forever Calix, and Dominic could be Dominic forever.
But in the end, Heaven didn't grant my wish.
"Uugh, hmm."
I cried all night, holding my breath.
I don't know what to believe anymore.
I felt like everything around me was an illusion and a lie.
In the first place, a person dies and is possessed as a character in a novel.
That's a ridiculous fiction.
So did I actually just go crazy?
It was from that day on.
Everything around me began to feel empty.
The lies I had tried so hard to admit collapsed, and the center that kept me here completely disappeared.
With Calix seriously injured, now is the perfect time to dominate the market.
Reviving the top was no longer as fun as it used to be.
I spent my time confined to my room.
Most of the time, I just sat there in a daze, but sometimes I burst into tears or cried uncontrollably.
It was an unproductive time, but it seemed like there would be no problem if I spent that much time.
The change occurred about a week later.
"Miss."
The maid who came to visit me carefully explained her business.
"A guest has arrived."
"Who?"
"This is Duke Altemir."
For a moment, I wondered why he had come to this mansion instead of the hospital.
Speaking of which, it seems that Lexid's servant had announced in passing that he was about to be discharged from the hospital.
I didn't want to meet him.
There was no reason to meet him.
So I had only one thing to say.
"Politely send him back. And don't let him in the gate at all next time."
"What? But even if you treat the Duke so harshly..."
"Do as I say, if you don't like that, get out of this mansion. I'll write you a letter of recommendation."
The maid, who was scolded for nothing, bowed down and said she would obey me.
However, the servants could not directly lead the Duke of the Empire, and Calix's carriage did not leave until the end of the evening.
I didn't think Calix would come to me anymore.
However, it was a misjudgment.
"Miss, the Duke is requesting a meeting."
"He came here today, what should I do?"
"He said he would wait until you let me."
He came to visit me every day.
Not a single day.
He was persistent in his determination, even though the servants were blocking him from the gate of the mansion.
He might have met me at least once, but I never accepted his request.
It was none of my business whether or not they were waiting silently for me to get out of the carriage and open the door for me.
I thought that if I ignored him, he would get tired first.
Then one day.
The sky was strangely dark from the morning, and by evening, it suddenly started pouring rain.
"Is it a rain shower?"
I thought it was a late summer shower, so I didn't think much of it.
However, the rain, which was thought to stop soon, did not stop as time passed.
It was going to continue pouring like this until tomorrow morning.
I commanded the maids.
"Close all the windows. The rain will pour all the way into the mansion."
"I see, Miss."
I think it's a little early, but I lit a fireplace in the room.
After the rain stopped, it would be a little chilly tomorrow morning.
In a warm room with crackling firewood, I stared out the window in a daze.
However, I saw a figure at the gate in the distance.
"What?"
I narrowed my eyes and immediately realized that it was Calix.
He came in a carriage and stood alone in the rain.
"Hah."
You're putting on a show again.
I immediately turned off my nerves.
I didn't have to worry about it at all.
So it was just a coincidence that I found him a few hours later, still standing in the same place, basking in the rain.
"What are you doing?"
When I came to my senses, I was already outside with an umbrella and was angry with him.
Calix looked up with a pale face.
His clothes were already soaked.
Under the white shirt that clung to his upper body, I could see the marks of bandages surrounding his torso.
I shouted at him.
"Go back."
"..."
"Go back!"
Calix didn't move.
I winked at the servant standing by the carriage, telling him to take his master with him.
However, he was restless and did not move from his seat as if he had received any orders.
Meanwhile, it was raining heavily.
I felt stuffy and angry.
I ended up dragging him into the house.
Trembling like a stray dog struck by a lightning bolt, I threw him into my room with a fireplace.
I almost threw the towel I had brought from the bathroom at him, and I got angry.
"Looking at the bandages, it doesn't seem to be all healed, but you're in the rain like a fool! What if the wound opened!"
"But I met you because of that."
He was silent to my plea to go back, but he finally spoke up.
He even smiled faintly at what was so good.
"I have fulfilled my most wish, so it doesn't matter."
"What if I hadn't let you in? Did you plan to fall down in the rain outside?"
"Even if I die, it will be the result of my choice, so I can't help it."
"People will talk about it. Pierre is very vicious. And the Duke will be a victim who wants to be cared for and cared for. Nothing has really changed."
I didn't mean to
"As always, right?"
I laughed at him out loud and suddenly hardened my face.
"When wet clothes dry, go straight back. And from now on, I will never let you into the mansion. Even if the Duke dies on the street. So you don't come to me anymore..."
"I missed you."
Calix interrupted.
I made eye contact with the other person's blue eyes.
"I couldn't get my hands on anything. The doctors said that I was normal now that I had survived the big crisis, but I didn't feel normal at all. Because here...!"
He pounded his fist near his heart.
"It was empty, lonely, and unable to breathe."
"So?
"Rosenia, I love you."
"Sounds terrible."
"I see."
He came over to me.
A large hand grabbed my hand and placed it on his chest.
I could feel his heart pounding and beating fast.
"Even if you hear that it is terrible, I am happy to see you now."
I glared at him.
His body was hot rather than cold.
I don't like Calix. I couldn't forgive him for deceiving me.
I became unhappy because of the person in front of me.
I wanted Calix to suffer as much as I was hurt by him.
I wish you knew what it felt like to fall in paradise.
That's why I kissed him.
