My Husband Picked Up the Female Lead

“We only kissed.”

My voice sounded calm as I spoke.

“It’s the truth.”

Almost defiantly so.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

The pendulum clock’s second hand echoed like heartbeats, making my head throb.

“Demian. We haven’t even kissed yet. But with that woman……”

“Bri!”

“Ugh……”

The only reason my body didn’t crash to the floor when my vision suddenly blurred was because his hand caught me.

I would have been grateful for that if I hadn’t known anything. If I hadn’t known he had kissed another woman.

Now it just feels like insects crawling on my skin.

“Taking a mistress is common. So……”

“Demian, the conditions of our marriage included a clause that you wouldn’t take a mistress. That’s why I agreed……”

“Bri. Don’t act like a child. Before marriage and now aren’t different.”

“Demian.”

“If a kiss is the problem, let’s do it now. We need to produce an heir anyway.”

His golden eyes, which once seemed precious as gold, now feel as horrifying as hell.

“Did that woman tell you to say that?”

“Bri!”

That woman who kissed my husband.

She was the true female protagonist of this novel, the one who should have been with my husband from the beginning.

“Let’s divorce.”

I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I left him like that.

“I told you, you and I would become family.”

I stepped back in surprise as he suddenly approached.

Then, as if warning me that I couldn’t escape anymore, his outstretched arms caged me like prison bars.

“I want to be your husband, Bri.”

He didn’t even try to hide the madness in his eyes.
