Chapter 14: Toxic wife
[ So her parents used to physically abuse her and even though they just wanted to kill her because of cursed title, but because her talent was well known everywhere, so they weren't able to.
As she grew up, her life only became harder until her personality became cold and aloof. Then she stopped feeling attached to anything, even to her own self, she built all this from scratch.
And on just a regular day of her life, she saw you, it was just your appearance that attracted her at first, but the more she observed you the more curious she became. Slowly she began to develop various emotions, and then she finally bought you from your father.]
"..."
Lucian listened to the story with a serious expression, her sweet scent and her soft body were making it difficult for him to concentrate. So he asked after Zero had finished: ' I think I lost you after the part where she was born, can you repeat it? '
[...]
" Lucian, promise no matter what you won't leave me, at least you. Everyone who was dear to me had left in the end, but I want you to stay with me forever. " Jasmine spoke without raising her head, her voice cold as ever but containing her intense emotions.
[ *Wiping tears* ]
' Why is this woman raising a flag all of a sudden? It is after dialogues like this that the extra character usually dies. ' Lucian thought but instead of replying to her words, he spoke:
" Actually I need your help in collecting some herbs, I will write it down for you so can you-? " Just as Lucian finished speaking Jasmine finally raised her face and looked at him with her emotionless face, and spoke in a deep voice:
" Why, are you ill? "
" No I am not, and even if I am about to die I wouldn't want my last moments to be with you, I would rather be with a stranger. " Lucian added, playing his character a bit too well.
" Meeting you is the biggest regret of my life, you had a hard life so far, right? But did you ever stop to think that this attitude of yours might be the reason for it all? "
[ Oye You are going too deep into the character, don't get carried away you still need her help. Haa this boy, why isn't he afraid of anything? ]
" Right I know you hate me, but believe me that you are my special, I am being selfish but I will keep you with me AT ANY COST, you will stay with me right? "
After she spoke Jasmine suddenly hugged him even more tightly, Lucian felt that she might even chop his arms and legs just to keep him with cost to her, he couldn't understand why she was so obsessed with him.
After staying silent for a few seconds he asked: " Can I leave now? "
Jasmine finally removed her arms from around him after inhaling his scent and tightening her arms one last time, Lucian finally stood up and without waiting he began to walk away from there.
" Wait " Just as he arrived close to the door Jasmine called out to him, Lucian looked back at her wondering what she wanted now.
" You wanted some herbs right? Leave the names here, I'll find them as soon as possible. "
After speaking she placed a pen and a diary in front of him, Lucian called Zero in his mind and without saying anything he began to write the name of all the herbs that Zero showed him.
When he was done he walked out of her office and didn't glance back at her, whether she was beautiful or not, whether she loved him or not; it didn't matter since Lucian could feel that this woman is very dangerous, so until he became strong enough he would have to keep up with his act and maintain distance from her.
' Anyway, I am going to meet my mother tomorrow, haa everyone on this planet is crazy. ' Lucian muttered as he walked back towards his room.
[ Why do you want to meet her? ]
Lucian entered his room and fell onto his bed, after closing his eyes he replied:
' First I need to get away from this place, even if for a little while, who knows if she would suddenly want to finish the business that should have happened on our first night.
And aside from that, I think it would be fun, by the way, who were those people who attacked me earlier today? ' he asked after remembering the men whom he had stabbed earlier in the day.
[ You don't have to worry about them your wife took care of them all already, she really is a toxic wife. ]
Lucian was not sure if he should feel happy about getting a Yandere wife or sad since she was so dangerously obsessed with him, but for now, he just wanted to sleep.
" Why do I feel like I am forgetting something, well whatever. "
[ Sweet dreams. ]

Inside a dark abandoned building, a man was sitting on a chair with his hands and feet tied, there was cloth wrapped around his head which made it impossible for him to speak or see anything.
" Ummmppphhh Aaave meeee aaaaaaa " He kept screaming but there was no one to help around.
It was Lily who was kidnapped earlier by some strange women and then brought to this place and was even beaten badly. He cursed his luck and wondered just why he was brought to this place.
Although Jasmine took care of the group but since Lucian was safe so she didn't think about them much and so Lily was left alone in the empty building and would only be found later on.
******
Sometime after Lucian had walked away from the mountain a man wearing a formal shirt and pants walked out of the bushes in a ragged condition, there were several wounds all over his body with his clothes torn.
