Chapter 0

Prologue

All of a sudden, a slender silver-haired woman fell on the floor, vomiting blood.

With a face covered with tears, she reached out her hand and grabbed the man’s foot.

“Grey, don’t leave me.”

“You think I really loved you?”

“You said you did! That you loved everything about me…..”

“I was after your title.”

Grey shook off Mary’s hand and fixed his clothes.

Mary didn’t want to believe it. She couldn’t make herself believe it. But, when she saw a smile of victory plastered on his face, she realized.

He never loved her, not even a little.

“Oh my goodness! What an idiot!”

I threw away the book I was reading and was overwhelmed by my own anger. Actually, I wasn’t going crazy because I still had lingering feelings, but because the heroine of this novel was so frustrating.

What the hell were you thinking when you still trusted the man who betrayed you right before you died? Aren’t you vicious yourself? If so, then you would have acted more like one!

I mean, the character was bound to collapse because of her current condition. But, I couldn’t understand.

The romance fantasy novel that was thrown far away in the corner of the hospital room was entitled, <don’t trust=”” him=””>.</don’t>

Doesn’t the title give you the answer? Don’t trust him! You were told not to believe him, but why did you still believe him?

The name of the heroine was Mary Anastasia. Her name itself was pretty. On top of that, her appearance is that of a goddess, according to the novel. Most of all, she was a princess who has never been ashamed.

‘Why did you fall into his trap? Why did you not recognize such a scumbag? ‘

There was no other person like her who was an idiot when it comes to men.

At first, Mary was frustrated when she was engaged to him because he neither had a high rank, nor did she love him.

In addition, the author had set a time where she was determined to break off the engagement no matter what, yet…

“Why did I have to read this?”

I felt similar to her for no reason. Maybe it was because I was also bound to die soon like her. Since I’m only 26 years old, there are still many things I haven’t done and many I still want to do.

“If I had been Mary, I would have done as I pleased.”

Since I was stuck in bed, all I could do was read the novel. I never would’ve predicted that I’d be told in the future that I’d die soon.

I just want to live a normal life and be happy like everyone else. Was that such a selfish request?

I had to calm down, but I felt tremendous pain after I finished reading the novel. I tried to catch my breath while holding my chest tightly.

Every now and then, when I felt pain, I’d become scared.

‘I don’t want to die yet…..’

I was afraid because no one would know of or remember my existence by the time I meet my end because I have nothing.

Mary’s life was better, even if she was dumb.

Although she wasn’t loved by the man she truly loved, she had a family…..Contrary to you, I-I have nothing.

No one will remember me after I die. I will disappear in this world, as if I had never existed from the beginning.

If it was a life that would be taken away so quickly, it should not have been given from the very beginning. Every day was too short for me, and I had no good memories either.

I want to live. Even if I continue living like this without anyone around me.

The pain in my chest felt stronger. I felt unusually strong today. Whenever the pain came, I wasn’t able to stand it.

Perhaps I have gotten used to the pain I’ve been receiving until now.

I took out a painkiller and put it into my mouth. The pressure in my chest grew stronger, making it harder for me to breathe. I tried to calm myself down and closed my eyes while lying on the bed.

“It’s alright…I took medicine, so I’ll soon wake up after sleeping….”

I closed my eyes…

I could feel the sun and the wind brush my skin lightly.

I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. The sound gradually became louder, and my consciousness became hazy.
