Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
68

I must be crazy.

Roxanne curses herself as she enters the library almost the same time Sanya goes to the bridal chamber, meeting Elios.

That crazy kid, he had whispered to Roxanne something far crazier than Roxanne's own mind.

But now the craziest Roxanne came here because of that stupid plan.

Huh, what am I gonna do? Seriously? I believe in that scary fucking kid? I trust?

Hey, idiot, remember Mariana. I trusted her because I thought she was just like Diane, but I was actually suffocated to death.

If I fall into the same hole this time, will there be another chance? Idiotically. Stupid roxanne.

But cursing herself, Roxanne repeats Sanya's stupid plan in her head.

"I don't want to spend the night with Elios, Brother." Sanya said it while smiling brightly. "I don't want to spend the night with anyone. I'm not in love with anyone and I'm disgusted to imagine it. So, can we help each other?"

"You don't want to? To the angel-like Young Master Elios?"

"I admit his good looks but I don't want to be touched by him. I don't want to. You can think of me as a frigid woman."

Frigids. Not because Elios is less handsome or he loves someone else, but because he personally dislikes anyone and has no desire for anyone.

Roxanne would not believe anything of the sort, because although she hated Elios, Elios' good looks kept Roxanne from fumbling under his touch.

But the boy's eyes were serious. He looked innocent but did not seem to be lying or deliberately making excuses.

"I think Brother himself has realized that Elios is planning something. Replies from Brother's act on the hallucinogens yesterday."

He even knows about his hallucinogens.

"For now, I can't say that I will definitely realize all of Brother's wishes, but I can guarantee that I'm the most useful companion that Brother will have in Brother's life."

"So how about we work together now, at least as an experiment? Gave up my first night with Elios, in exchange for Brother getting Elios' attention. Although fake."

"What do you mean get attention?" roxanne asked at the time because she could not imagine. "If it's just a little attention, I can get it myself."

"My body is small, but I honestly hate the little things" the boy replied. "For now, I'll help you sleep on the fourth floor. Perhaps even, sleeping in Elios' private room. As long as you know, Graean never slept there and never had Elios' wife slept in his private bedroom."

"It's so exciting that it feels impossible." Roxanne obviously didn't believe it right away. "How did it get that special attention and derail your first night?"

Sanya smiled innocently. "Please break Brother's bones a little."

Crazy boy, it's Roxanne now.

He still couldn't believe that the damn boy was smiling sweetly at him when he asked Roxanne for a broken bone. Why didn't he laugh and ask Roxanne to die?

"Why am I here?" roxanne murmured with great confusion, for now she was actually standing on the stairs that used to reach high shelves.

Roxanne doesn't know why she's really listening to the psychopath.

Shouldn't be, right? Roxanne should just ignore it.

Why is he standing here, as if believing in that crazy prank?

"You told me to break a bone and you didn't guarantee you didn't lie at all? Little boy, I firmly believe that no one does not want Young Master, that includes you."

But the boy smiled at her.

"Does Big Brother expect to get a gem while lying on the bed?"

Roxanne jerks.

"I can't guarantee it, but I don't want to. Because my brother needs me too. I also have to see if Big Brother really fits my expectations or is different."

"So, I offered to Brother, do my plan and believe that crazy things come true with dangerous risks—or just shut up and continue as they are now, with no risk or progress."

In the end, everything has to be done at risk. No one is not.

Roxanne sighed, closing her eyes before she knocked herself down.

Let's go crazy because this family has been crazy since 200 years ago.
