Villainous Husband, the One You’re Obsessed With Is Over There - Chapter 222

Chapter 111.2

̊ · : * ✧* : · ̊

Early in the morning, Raniero opened his eyes before Angelica in the merciless sunlight.

The naked Angelica was clinging closely to his side. She was like a young animal. It was a heartbreakingly beautiful sight. Her long, loose hair was scattered all over the bed, and amidst it, her white shoulders peeked out.

Raniero smiled and gently stroked her shoulder.

Angelica’s body, now much thinner, lacked the softness it once had. Her bones protrude sharply. Her body now gives off an impression of fragility.

“Angie.”

He brought his lips close to her ear and called out to her.

He could feel her body tense. It was her nerves acting up, but she pretended to be asleep. She was afraid that he would leave after saying good morning.

He liked it.

Raniero whispered.

“Since I came late, I’m thinking about leaving later…”

There was definitely a reaction.

Still, Angelica still hadn’t opened her eyes. It seemed that she wasn’t convinced because he broke his promise yesterday.

‘I know she’s pretending to be asleep on purpose since I broke my promise.’

She had a bright mind and was quick-witted only in situations like this. Of course, Raniero found that aspect of Angelica cute.

“It’s meaningless unless you open your eyes, so shall I go?”

It wasn’t until he finally threatened her that Angelica opened her eyes.

Her pupils trembled, and her lips parted.

Raniero was very pleased with the anxiety she showed. Not being able to see her face for close to twenty hours was regrettable for him, he’d do it again and again if the reward for his patience was this sweet.

As his mood improved, he laughed out loud and leaned down to plant a kiss on Angelica’s forehead.

“Let’s have breakfast and go take a bath.”

Angelica’s eyes changed slightly at the mention of taking a bath.

She liked bathing. More precisely, she seemed to enjoy being in a different environment than this room. Even after the bath was over, she didn’t seem eager to return to the room, perhaps because watching the ripples in the water made time seem to pass.

Sometimes, he thought about letting her stroll in the garden when she completely lost her will and became helpless.

Of course, excessive indulgence was never allowed.

It was only when she was about to be cornered to the point where she had the courage to hurt herself that he would give her the last glimpse of happiness.

Just for a moment.

‘Angie knows who can give it to her again.’

Because it was tantalizing, she would probably lovingly beg him for more. It was already quite obvious.

While imagining pleasant scenarios, Raniero and Angelica had a simple meal in the bedroom. Now, Angelica has started to handle her utensils and eat on her own, which is somewhat disappointing.

Raniero constantly quenched me, switching between endless affection and relentless cruelty. When I begged him not to treat me like this while crying, he stopped being mean. Then, a command was programmed into my body—to cry and cling to him like a child.

Because he liked that kind of thing.

I really hated him. I truly loathed him, especially when I was anxiously waiting for him, not knowing when he would come. However, when I heard footsteps outside and the closed door opened, I forgot that hatred for a few hours, knowing I wasn’t alone anymore.

Once, he brought me a flower branch he had picked from outside.

The buds of early spring flowers were in full bloom. He filled a vase with water and placed the branch, saying he thought of me and brought it. At that time, I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with emotion, whispering countless times that I loved him as I hugged him tightly.

Raniero was very pleased to hear those words.

My thought process became simpler with each minute and second.

When would Raniero come?

Would Raniero like this? Would he be more lenient if I did this?

Would he bring something like a flower branch again?

If I did something wrong, would he just break this flower branch and take it away? No, he couldn’t, it hadn’t even finished blooming yet…

At the end of every twitching nerve, Raniero was always there.

It was what he wanted from me. Rather than remaining as a human being, he wanted me to become nothing but an instinct-driven beast, endlessly pursuing only him.

And he was pushing me towards that.

I obediently lost my humanity.

I didn’t bother with clothing because they were cumbersome. My words dwindled, too, since every day here was the same and there wasn’t much to say.

I felt jealous when Raniero talked about the outside world, so I made sure he couldn’t talk about it, either. Kisses, hugs, and sexual contact were excellent tools—using my body as a temptation also helped Raniero stay in this room a little longer. And, of course, there were additional benefits…

It made me feel better, too.

The self-hatred and self-loathing that had once engulfed me like wildfire and made me cry have long since left me.

Such emotions were too human, too luxurious.
