The Obsessive Male Lead Caught Me While I Was Trying To Ditch My Ex-Husband - Chapter 41

Chapter 41 – I’m Already Yours

“…What?”

‘I was relieved by him agreeing so fast, but what is he talking about!’ Gloria, perplexed by Kaien’s request, looked at him with a foolish expression. He smiled at such a sight and reached out to her.

“Wh- what is the meaning of this!” Gloria exclaimed, startled by Kaien’s sudden hug. Astonished, her arms clasped his neck with all her might. Because of it, Kaien and Gloria’s bodies grew closer.

He smiled at her, as she stared fiercely with a blushing face, and then said,

“I want to turn your head and be faithful to the first clause.”

“In that case, I think you will hit just like yesterday.”

At the sound of his joy and strange excitement, Gloria growled with her nails raised. Kaien began to gently soothe her as if he was watching a cat with a bad temper.

“Yesterday I was a little too much. It was something I shouldn’t have done in a place like that.”

“Looks like you’ve finally come to your senses.”

“Yes, my thoughts were short-sighted.”

“Then can you stop now and let me go?”

“It should be done in the bedroom, not the office.”

“…What?”

Gloria, nodding at Kaien’s meek admission, looked at him with a puzzled expression once again at the words that followed.

‘What did this man say just now?’

The bedroom, not the office? Bedroom?

Gloria lost strength in her arms at his unexpected announcement and could no longer cling to him.

Kaien smiled at the ‘prey’ that was completely in his grasp and said,

“Second clause. A can enter B’s bed ‘at any time.’ I am very pleased with this clause, Your Majesty.”

“Are you insane?”

The emperor shouted with a pale, tired face. Harsh words issued from the mouth of the woman who only knew about dignity, but Kaien was very happy to fulfill the terms of the contract and took such calumny lightly.

‘I’m the insane one. Why did I write a marriage contract by referring to a romance book?’ Gloria cursed at herself for her past naïveté. Not her past life but her past self in the current life.

‘I didn’t expect this to happen when I called Kaien into the office, not the audience room!’

‘Aaaahh. This stupid me. Idiot, foolish self!’

Gloria was embarrassed by the situation and seemed to go crazy. Inside the office, there was a bedroom for relaxation. It was a quiet place to put down work for a moment, and for that reason, no courtiers were waiting outside the door. The only way to summon the court ladies was by pulling a rope.

As he quickly opened the door in the office, a bed finally was seen.

“. . .”

“. . .”

With the bed in front of them, Kaien and Gloria did not speak as if they had made a silent vow. They were the only ones standing in this space. Just A (Duke) and B (Emperor) of the marriage contract.

“Kyaak!”

As Kaien threw her down, Gloria let out a small scream. It wasn’t because of pain, because the sheets and blankets were layered, but the elasticity was so good that she couldn’t stand straight. Kaien quickly took over as Gloria tried to escape. Gloria couldn’t breathe because his actions seemed like a predator just before biting its prey. In addition, the heaviness of his weight on top of her made her even more breathless. Gloria closed her eyes tightly as she felt dizzy.

‘How come?’ The phrase began to fill her head. Kaien and herself were just holding hands for a while because of their respective purposes. That was why, for those purposes, she drafted the contract while searching through vulgar and unfamiliar romance books. To look like a couple that was so intense and unshakeable that no one would dare to covet the emperor.

‘We are not interested in each other, but we need to show off to a certain extent, that’s why we signed the contract!’ Gloria wanted to cry at Kaien’s unexpected move. Noticing Gloria’s thoughts, Kaien narrowed his eyes. Rather than letting go, seeing her unjust expression, he tightened his grip even more strongly. Her white skin was dyed red like a flower, and her chest moved up and down wildly.

He offered some words of comfort with a regretful face to Gloria, who could not even make eye contact.

“Poor Gloria. You must not have expected it to be like this when you wrote the contract.”

“Why are you doing this even though you know me so well?”

Shrinking from him suddenly kissing her forehead, she asked angrily. He was a man who always distanced himself from her. He never drew closer. That’s why, referring to romance novels, she wrote the terms of the contract to make them look like a real couple!

‘Why are you doing this?!’ Gloria looked at Kaien with her trembling deep blue eyes. Seeing her eyes full of surprise and disbelief, he said with a wistful smile,

“It’s because I already died once?”

“. . .”

“There is no reason to hold it in anymore.”

At his strange answer, her eyes widened in disbelief.

‘What the hell did you hold in before dying?’

Kaien didn’t speak while looking for her understanding, and instead unbuttoned the first button on his neck with one hand. His skin visible through the white shirt made Gloria dizzy.

“Wai- wait!!”

Gloria stammered at A’s daring behavior and desperately pushed Kaien. However, the man’s body, which was used to rigorous training, was not easily moved. Feeling her hands on his chest, Kaien spoke with a smirk.

“Did you want to touch me so badly, Your Majesty?”

“Absolutely not!”

“I’m already yours, though.”

“. . .!”

Before Gloria realized it, he put his lips down on the back of her white hand and smiled charmingly. His ascetic navy jacket had long since been tossed from the bed. Kaien leisurely unbuttoned his shirt to catch Gloria’s eyes and gave a sly smile. That foxy smile made Gloria lose her confidence.

‘The man speaking right now is the Kaien Ludenberg I used to know?’ Was it really a huge mistake to run to him and ask him to become Empress? In such shock, Gloria could not even close her eyes as his face gradually drew closer. Seeing her like that, he paused for a moment with an ‘mmh’ sound and kissed Gloria’s cheek. Startled by her belated reaction, she felt tense. She was so nervous that her hands were white as they clenched the blanket.

Kaien swallowed a laugh as she bit her lip and shrank. He put his lips on her forehead. Gloria was taken aback, feeling a kiss falling on her forehead, not her lips. According to the contract, he surely knew where and how to kiss.

Kaien stroked Gloria’s cheek with the back of his hand and said in a teasing tone,

“What were you expecting?”

“. . .!”

“Of course, I want to eat you up right now, but I am tolerating the desire for fear that Your Majesty will be in trouble.”

“Ha.”

Gloria was stunned by his surprising remarks. He spoke in a tone full of care, but there was no consideration in his actual words. But despite Kaien’s actions, she couldn’t say anything. Because his eyes were sincere.

‘Looks like he really wants to swallow me right away.’ As Kaien blatantly revealed his desire, Gloria bit the inside of her lips and swallowed desperately. He used to be a man who had never paid much attention to anyone other than his younger sister. For a man who was desperate to survive, taking care of his younger sister was his top priority, so she had thought he was unaware of this kind of relationship between men and women.

‘But what is this!’ Far from being shy or awkward, Gloria’s confidence was shattered facing his skillful and bold moves. Her body lost all strength as if it would turn into powder. Kaien grinned at her weak appearance. Noticing why she was like this, he said, as he plucked the red hairs from her cheeks one by one.

“Giving up once is enough. So now I will never let you go, nor will I give you to anyone.”

“Duke.”

“You could not know. How long I have been wanting to drag you into my arms.”

“…Something like that. You never showed it before.”

At his admission, Gloria answered with a frown on her face. She looked quite confused. As if treating something precious, Gloria did not know what to do with Kaien’s unfamiliar behavior. The man who kissed the emperor’s forehead with trembling eyes spoke as if whispering a secret.

“I will show you now, My Majesty.”

The beautiful black beast showed its amethyst eyes full of obsession and possessiveness. Gloria had never seen Kaien’s eyes glow with such a light and was shocked as if she had been hit in the head. There was a sentence that filled her head at the same time as she was shocked. That sentence was nothing more than…

‘It turns out that what I grabbed to get out of the beast’s clutch was the hand of an obsessive demon!!’

Her vision blurred as the man’s face drew close enough to even touch each other’s nose.

Because they were so close, Gloria’s plump lips and Kaien’s lips began to graze each other.

As Gloria exhaled hot, ragged breath and her face showed up the reddish heat that warmed her entire body, Kaien decided not to restrain it any longer.
