The Revenge Kidnapping Drama's Transmigrated Female Lead - Chapter 95
“Haa, haa…”
Psyche roughly caught her breath while tightly gripping the sink counter. As bitter smell rose with each breath, she rinsed her mouth and wiped her face clean several times. As she lifted her head, roughly wiping moisture with her hand, a haggard woman came into view.
‘…I think I understand why they won’t touch me.’
It was a face that looked bizarre at a glance, with complexion turned pitifully pale white but only eyes stained red. Psyche sighed while clutching her forehead. Even standing like this was killing her. She shook her head and leaned against the bathroom wall. As soon as her back touched the wall, her strength gave out and she slid down.
Just as she deeply buried her face in her legs while hugging her knees to catch her breath, someone walked in with steady steps. Usually she would have lifted her head to check who it was, but now she didn’t even have that strength. Just breathing was all she could manage. After some time like that, a low voice resonated deeply in the bathroom.
“The offer is still valid.”
It was Rezus.
“Either pretend to betray, or leak secrets – do one of those. Then you…”
His words didn’t continue to the end, but she seemed to know without hearing. He probably meant he would protect her. But he shouldn’t do that. For her ability to manifest, he needed to remain only as a villain until the end.
‘In this situation, what should I do to make him violate me again.’
The deliberation was brief. She parted her lips.
“…dis…sting…”
But her voice was ant-sized so Rezus couldn’t understand right away.
“What?”
“I said you’re disgusting so get out…”
His expression subtly hardened for a moment, then he burst into a cold laugh.
“Hey, seems you don’t grasp the current situation,”
“Do you know something? You’re the most disgusting one here.”
She spoke as if chewing her words and lifted her head. His footsteps approaching Psyche came to an abrupt halt. Psyche’s revealed eyes appeared like empty holes, yet also seemed to burn red with rage. While Rezus hesitated at that strange gaze, Psyche’s voice continued.
“How revolting that you do this now after violating me whenever you pleased… Just get lost because I’m going insane with disgust…! Handle that filthy, vile hostage situation among yourselves…! I told you I have no intention of playing along…!”
Psyche’s lips trembled as if she couldn’t handle her revulsion. Though such strong hostility would normally warrant some reaction, Rezus merely looked down at her with an expressionless face.
Perhaps she needed to provoke him more. She clenched her fist tightly. She would have to speak of Arje’s taboo.
“Just please get lost because it makes my skin crawl to even breathe the same air as creatures like you who don’t know their origins…”
‘Creatures who don’t know their origins.’ Speaking their taboo was worth it. Rezus finally showed a reaction.
“Watch your mouth.”
Her hair was seized by a large hand. He gripped it so forcefully that it felt like all the captured strands would be torn out. Rezus yanked her face toward him with a murderous air.
“You should know that those creatures who don’t know their origins now hold your lifeline, Psyche.”
He pushed her head with his index finger, tap, tap.
“With that clever head of yours. You should be able to calculate that much.”
Just then, clear saliva flew up right below his eye. Psyche had spat it.
“Don’t lay your hands on my body carelessly.”
It was an action she could never have done before. But now the situation is different. Only by crossing the line would Rezus treat her like before again. It was an action she could take because she had such certainty.
“……”
Rezus slowly wiped off the saliva that had hit his face while maintaining eye contact with her. After a long moment of neither backing down from their glares, Rezus was the first to retreat.
“Yes, this must be your true feelings.”
He muttered lowly as he released her hair. Various undefinable emotions tangled together, making him feel unclean inside. As he ran a hand down his face trying to settle these emotions, a hollow laugh escaped. It was a laugh of bewilderment at himself for not feeling hostility toward her even after she touched upon their taboo.
He looked down at her, moving only his eyes. Her reddened eyes that seemed ready to spill tears at any moment, her hostile gaze, and the fear flickering beneath it. Over that face – too beautiful to not stir his heart even when wearing such a vicious expression – the image of her from days ago overlapped in his retina, when she had rested her cheek against him with gentle eyes.
