My First Love Whom I Left Has Become Obsessive

Adeline, who became the disgrace of her family because she had no gift of foresight, is married off as if she were being sold to a Marquis fifteen years older than her.
A harsh married life, her husband’s affair. Then one day, after five years that passed like hell, her husband and mother-in-law die one after the other.
Her freedom lasts only briefly, and then Ishiel comes to Adeline, whose life is being threatened by a collateral branch.
The first love she abandoned, having become the master of a fleet.

“Pay me the price for saving your life.”
“Of course I will. But not like this……”

From the hand roaming over her waist, from the gaze looking down at her, she had already realized what Ishiel wanted as payment.

But why? I abandoned you and left, yet you still want me?

“When have I ever wanted any payment other than you?”

You’ve become stingy while I wasn’t looking.

The voice settling by her ear was sinister.
A tone she had never once heard from Ishiel.
Adeline shifted her eyes and looked up at him.

“I came all the way in here to save your life, and you weren’t even going to give me this much?”

In the place where his familiar smile had vanished, there was now an expression as cold as ice.
Anger surged in his eyes, darkened by the night.
At this side of Ishiel she had never seen in her life, Adeline drew in her shoulders.
Like a small animal that had encountered a predator in a remote forest.

“What, were you planning to send off your husband like that and stay chaste for the rest of your life?”

Were your feelings for him really that deep?

The muttering voice dripped with anger he could not quite swallow down.

“Pay the price, Adeline.”

And this time, don’t run away. Though I doubt you could.
