The Obsessive Male Lead Wants To Become My Husband......
°°1°°
**************************
While thinking hard about this, someone knocked on the door.
Ophelia Garneid(OFL/FL Stepsister)
Dear sister Evelyn, I baked some cookies for you. I hope you enjoy it.😊😊☺️
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
You didn’t have to do this.😮💨
I glanced at my sister, Ophelia, who was smiling shyly.
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
‘Oh my, this girl’s name is Ophelia, too?’
Ophelia was the perfect heroine in the novel.
Seeing the many cuts strewn all over her hands, I pulled out a small jar from a drawer.
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
Sit here. I happened to have an ointment from Sahara.
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
The leader of Irudell sent me a prototype.😊
Ophelia Garneid(OFL/FL Stepsister)
I-I’m fine. You don’t have to do that for me, so you should keep the ointment for yourself, Sister.😥😥💦💦
Ophelia hurriedly shook her head, though she couldn’t take her eyes off the ointment jar in my hand.
Seeing how Ophelia refused another person’s goodwill towards her, I felt a sense of deja vu.
Suddenly, the unforgettable novel’s content rushed into my head.
「 “After three days of just drinking water, Ophelia could not take her eyes away from the burnt bread in the maid’s hand.
Maid
Please eat some, Milady.
To her surprise, the maid who played the role of a warden readily sticks the bread out to her. Her stomach was stirred just by the mere smell of dry flour, but Ophelia shook her head.
Ophelia Garneid(OFL/FL Stepsister)
…No, thank you.
This maid could have died miserably if she succumbed to hunger and ate that bread.
[Like everyone else who treated her well.]
However, it wasn’t exactly a normal novel…
Ophelia was the heroine of the rated-19 novel.
In the scene, she had not eaten anything for three days.
One day, turtle soup was served on Ophelia’s table, where she had been imprisoned by the male protagonist, Cassius. Still, the meals were well served.
As she tried to take a spoonful of it without much thought, the unusual pattern of a turtle’s shell came into her eyes. It was the same pattern of the turtle that Ophelia, who was always alone in Count Garneid’s residence, had fondly raised.
Of course, after seeing it, she cried and refused to eat the meat. Which caused Cassius to be angry, saying,
Cassius Brudenell(ML/Heir of Brudenell)
If you’re going to do that, then don’t eat anything.😡😡❄️❄️
Well, how did it work out?
Naturally, since it’s rated-19…

Naturally, since it’s rated-19…
I swallowed dry saliva and tried to drive the original scene out of my head.
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
Since you baked the cookies for me, just think of it as a small reward.☺️☺️
Ophelia Garneid(OFL/FL Stepsister)
Sister…😢😢
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
💭💭Good girl.
I pulled out my handkerchief and gently wiped away tears that were swelling in her eyes.
Ophelia was treated as an outcast of this wonderful, Count Garneid family.
Although it was the birth of Evelyn, the Garneid County’s disgrace, that brought about the Countess’ death, everyone collectively despised Ophelia because she was an illegitimate child.
Still, she did not resent anyone and cherished all her family members who treated her like hell.
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
💭💭If Ophelia wasn’t there, I might have been locked up in a mental hospital…
Thanks to her dedicated efforts, I managed to get myself together and looked back on what I’ve done.
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
💭💭Anyone who saw those actions would think it’s the behavior of a crazy person
It wouldn’t be strange if I were to be taken to a mental hospital right now…
Ever since transmigrating, I desperately tried to play the role of the perfect successor as Evelyn. Thanks to this, I managed to regain my stature to some extent.
But, it was already too late.
It would only be half a year before Cassius, who was crazy for Ophelia, killed the Garneid Family.
And the first meeting between Ophelia and Cassius was only one week away!
Evelyn Garneid(FL/ Heir of Garneid)
*bit lip*💭💭I have to do something.
I tried to remember exactly what would happen once Ophelia and Cassius met for the first time.
Like in any other romance fantasy novel, their first meeting was coincidental and inevitable.
At that time, Ophelia was talking to the turtle she cared for in the pond as usual.
Yes. That very thing that Cassius will later boil in the soup in the future.
Ophelia Garneid(OFL/FL Stepsister)
Turtle, is it delicious?😃😃😊
As she was talking to her turtle that was chewing a cabbage leaf, all of a sudden, there was a sound of something rolling off the fence.
Ophelia hurriedly ran towards the direction where she heard the sound. There lay a heavily injured man who was groaning in pain.
Obviously, it was Cassius Brudenell, the male protagonist.
Because he had asked her not to call a doctor, the angelic heroine took him to the basement instead and secretly treated him.
While it was a stroke of good luck for him, it was the beginning of misfortune for Ophelia.
Since then, Cassius had become obsessed with her.
Until the beginning of the novel, he tried to win over her in his own gentlemanly manner.
‘Gentlemanly’ according to his standards.
After manipulating the circumstances to make Ophelia more isolated and miserable, he would appear like a prince on a white horse to sway her heart.
The so-called, ‘disease-and-drug’ method.
[ T/N: Similar to the idiom, “carry fire in one hand and water in the other.” To be duplicitous or to deceive. ]
But surprisingly, Ophelia knew what was going on.
Ophelia Garneid(OFL/FL Stepsister)
*disgusted* Don’t think of me as a fool. What happened to me… It’s all because of you, right?❄️❄️❄️
That was the point that drove him crazy.
Ophelia, who was kind to everyone and continued to love her cold-hearted family, came to despise him.
Therefore, he planned to massacre all family members of the esteemed Garneid County and spare only Ophelia, who would be locked up in his cage forever.
After that, well, isn’t it obvious?
Ophelia, who was trapped in the cage, spending nights with Cassius…
Okay, let’s stop. My stomach is lurching just thinking about it.
So, who the hell was this Cassius, who annihilated the Garneid Countdom and locked up the heroine, the only survivor?
He was the sole heir to the Brudenell Duchy, the household that holds the most authority in the Empire apart from the Imperial family.
Now, you might be wondering, where the hell was the Duke of Brudenell while his successor went on a rampage?
