I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History - Chapter 409

My vision gradually became hazy. It took me a little while to realize that I was on the verge of tears.

A heart that I couldn’t get, no matter how hard I tried. It was painful to keep chasing it forever. I was filled with frustration and unwillingness.

Something hot was slowly and unceasingly running down my cheeks.

I could never be his. I would never be seen as his woman.

…I could never belong to Duke.

Duke already knew how he felt about me early on, and I still tried to confess my feelings to him.

It was a complete bust…. he didn’t know how cruel it was to a girl in love to say “I want to remain friends”, do you? Duke.

I just wanted him to see me as a woman.

I stifled my voice and cried incessantly.

Once the thoughts overflew, I could no longer stop them. In this warehouse, I could be just another girl. Let me have my broken heart just for today.

Tomorrow, I would return to my normal self at the school…I would give Duke the same bright smile I always gave him.

“Really…, I just…, I just…, I just loved Duke….”

I sob, sobbing, and I just let the tears pour out.

I had never expressed my feelings like this before. For the first time, I realized that I was heartbroken.

From the beginning, there was never any room for me between those two. But I fell in love with him…

I wanted to stop thinking about a man who didn’t like me at all, either. I wanted to fall in love with someone who liked me.

But it didn’t work out that well, did it?

I could not change my feelings with logic.

I wanted to let out all of these feelings to someone. It was painful to continue to hold on to these feelings.

“Liz~?”

I heard my mother’s voice from far away.

No way! My mother was coming this way? 

I hastily wiped away my tears. I couldn’t hide the redness in my eyes, but if I told her there was dust in them, it would be okay…

Before I could say, “Yes!” in a hushed voice, the door to the warehouse opened with a clang.

When she saw my face, her eyes widened a little. I smiled deceptively.

“Liz, are you okay?”

My mother looked at me worriedly with her eyebrows raised in a figure of eight.

“I’m fine. Is something wrong?”

“…Oh, yeah? That’s good. I’m going to the fruit store with Max. Do you mind if I ask you to watch the house?”

“Sure, go ahead. Take care.”

I replied as usual, but mother was somewhat puzzled.

“…Liz, do you want to go with me as well? If you came home tired, I thought you might want to relax at home.”

Ah, I was making mother feel uncomfortable….

“No, I’m fine. I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.”

“Really?”

I felt a little annoyed by my mother’s persistence. I would like to be left alone for now.

“Yeah, have fun!”

“…Liz is also an important family member. You will always be a part of our family.”

“I know already!!!”

I shouted out loud, unconsciously. I could feel the air change instantly.

For the first time in my life, I had raised my voice against my family. Even I was surprised that I said it like this.

What should I do? What have I done to my mother?

Holding my mouth with my right hand, I slowly looked at my mother.

I saw my mother’s surprised expression. After that, her face was covered with sadness.
