Battle Divorce! - Chapter 26
Chapter 13.2
The intensity in the air nearly made Daisy blurt out, “No, of course not.”
In reality, she had no idea how to respond.
He made too much sense, and if she so much as moved her lips, she was certain they’d be far too close—her breath mingling with his.
What should I do? What could I do?
Startled by the pressure radiating from him, Daisy gulped, her throat suddenly dry.
Then, without warning, Maxim scooped her up in his arms like a princess.
“A-ah! Ugh… w-what are you doing? Put me down!”
“Shh. You’ll hurt yourself. Stay still.”
Daisy squirmed desperately, but there was no escaping this man’s grip. He was far too strong.
Holding her securely, Maxim opened the door and strode inside.
Daisy’s vision spun as her small frame landed on the soft bedding.
Before she could react, Maxim climbed on top of her, pinning her down like prey beneath a predator. That was the moment she felt her world go dark.
Like hell this is happening!
She wasn’t just going to sit there and take it. Her body moved before she could think.
Squeezing her eyes shut, Daisy thrashed violently, and with a loud BAM, pain exploded across her forehead.
Pure instinct of self-defense. The second she felt overpowered, she rammed her head forward.
A sharp breath hit her cheek.
“Haah… Darling, are you scared?”
When she opened her eyes, Maxim was smiling, his lower lip freshly split.
“How adorable.”
The unexpected comment made every cell in Daisy’s body prickle with unease.
“I told you. No s*x. I promised, didn’t I?”
His grip on her wrists remained firm.
Monstrously firm.
But Daisy wasn’t giving up that easily. She thrashed harder, struggling to break free, but it was useless. Her lower body was pinned beneath his weight, leaving her completely trapped.
It felt like being tied up, every inch of her body restrained.
“I’d like it if my wife could trust her husband. But it seems my Izzy doesn’t trust me.”
Duh? They were only married on paper and practically strangers. What was there to trust?
“It’s a bit disappointing, honestly, but what can I do?”
“Hngh, ah…!”
“I’ll do my best to earn your trust from now on, Izzy.”
He said it so smoothly, as if this entire situation was normal.
The cut on his lip didn’t seem to bother him in the slightest.
Like a predator completely unfazed after getting nipped by the prey it was toying with.
“You’re so full of spirit, aren’t you? I like that about you, my dear Izzy.”
And he was downright shameless. Maxim licked the blood from his lower lip, smirking.
Then, before she could react, his lips descended upon hers.
“At least let me have a kiss, hm? I’m injured. You should help me feel better.”
“Mmm…!”
Daisy grimaced, twisting her head away, but he gently caught her chin, holding her in place.
“We agreed to make compromises, didn’t we?” he coaxed.
“Let, go, ngh, let go!”
“Play nice. There’s no point in yelling. It’s just the two of us in the main house.”
Her entire body went rigid.
Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen a single soul since they’d walked through the entrance.
Just the two of them.
Alone.
In this enormous mansion.
With this beast of a man…
It made her blood run cold.
…No, no. That can’t be right.
Nobles always had servants on standby, no matter the hour of day.
“Don’t believe me? It’s true.”
“…”
“Starting tonight, no servants are allowed in the main house after dark. I didn’t want them to be shocked by the ‘true nature’ of their master.”
Could he read her mind? Maxim’s smirk appeared at the perfect moment.
“Ah, ngh… Y-you’re lying.”
This man, who had no regard for others, suddenly considerate of his servants?
She had seen how he treated them earlier.
It was absurd.
His overbearing tone left no room for argument.
“I tend to be rather loud when it comes to s*x.”
“You’re insane— ahh, ngh…”
“Yes, I know I’m insane. But even if others were here, what difference would it make? I’m the Lord of Waldeck. Whose side do you think they’d take?”
Even as he pointed out the harsh reality, he looked far too pleased.
“We have better things to put our energy into, so let’s not waste it fighting each other.”
