Chapter 5

작가: No Chill
Not only did that slap at the post-wedding reception stun Lily and Frank, but it also cemented my position within the Larson family.

Still, I came to realize that Henry wasn't just tough—he was someone who never let go of a grudge. After Lily's sarcastic comment about his health, he started putting me through "physical training".

"This is so you'll have the strength to look after me, a frail invalid."

He was adamant that I run three miles each morning and do an hour of yoga every night. Even

  • Manifesting My Best Life As A Widow   Chapter 9

    "Sarah! If you're not going to pay, then let's make a deal!" Lily shouted. Her eyes burned with an almost manic intensity as she looked from Henry to Frank."Frank may be useless, but he's still young! He's only 25! Sarah, let me have Henry, and I'll give you Frank in return! He's still young and capable of having children!"Henry is fragile. With his health the way it is, he's practically living on borrowed time! You don't want to end up a widow, do you?"I looked at her in disbelief. "You—"Before I could continue, Henry moved beside me. He raised his foot slightly, then brought it down onto Frank's injured hand."Ahhh—!" Frank let out a scream of agony as he rolled across the ground. Startled, Lily released my leg and stared at Henry in sheer terror.Henry stood with one hand tucked in his pocket and an umbrella in the other. He angled it fully over me, leaving half his shoulder exposed to the rain.He looked down at Lily from above. "So you want to swap us, huh?" A ruthless

    I advanced a step, forcing my way past Henry's protective stance."You want to jump?" I pointed down at the ground below. "Then go ahead. It's pretty high. You'll probably take about three seconds to hit the ground. Don't worry, I'll make sure the area is cleared. You'll land with a sharp, clean smack."Lily froze. Even the rescue team nearby looked visibly stunned."What… what did you just say?" Lily couldn't believe her ears. "Aren't you afraid I'll die?""Of course I am." I shrugged. "I'm concerned your death could be too gruesome and frighten the children passing by. But don't worry, I'll buy you the best urn. That's the least I can do.""You—!" Lily's entire body trembled with rage. Her foot slipped, and she almost fell. A terrified scream escaped her as she quickly seized the railing."Lily, stop putting on a show," Henry said coldly. "Do you want me to start airing all your dirty secrets right here?"With a snap of his fingers, the large screen nearby suddenly lit up. It

    "Why are you sighing?" Henry ended the video conference and turned his chair toward me."My hand's sore," I lied, keeping a completely straight face.Henry gestured for me to come closer. "Come here."I walked over obediently.He caught my wrist, pulled me into his arms, and set me down on his lap. "Which one is sore?"He gently massaged my hand, applying just the right pressure."My… my right hand."My whole body stiffened. His breath brushed against my neck, sending a shiver down my spine."Sarah," he suddenly called out."Yes?""I hear there are rumors going around that I'm not sexually capable."My heart skipped a beat. "N-no, that's not true at all!" I hurriedly denied it. "Who would dare spread rumors like that? I'll tear their mouths apart!"Henry chuckled under his breath. His chest shook with a low rumble, sending a shiver down my back. "Is that so? Then why did you write my name on the baby you just painted?"I was completely stunned. "Well… I just love you so mu

    Frank and Lily started grappling with each other right at the gate. I watched intently, a subtle smile tugging at my lips."Are you enjoying the show?" A deep voice suddenly came from behind me.I flinched. Henry had appeared behind me without me even noticing. He was dressed in a silk robe, its collar slightly loosened. A cup of black coffee rested in his hand."I-it's pretty entertaining," I answered honestly. "More thrilling than any TV show."Henry stepped up to the railing, his gaze darkening as he watched the couple below. "Since you're enjoying it so much, why don't you go down and watch them up close?""Huh?"With that, Henry took my hand and led me straight downstairs.The gate slowly swung open. The moment Lily and Frank spotted Henry, they hurried over in a panic."Uncle Henry, please! Help me! Don't let them put me in prison!" Frank cried out, reaching for Henry's leg.Henry recoiled in disgust. Valentino promptly stepped in, his bodyguards forming a barrier in fro

Even my meals were tightly controlled.I leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, my mouth watering uncontrollably.In the backyard, Henry, clad in loungewear, was waving a piece of chocolate. Tank, the Doberman, wagged its tail excitedly."Henry! That's the exclusive, limited-release Hellington chocolate!" "Do you want it?" Henry turned his head, sunlight streaming across his high nose.I nodded frantically. "Yes!""Get down and do 50 squats."I was left speechless, but for the sake of th

    Valentino stepped in first. His face remained stoic as he stood near the door.Henry followed right behind. Dressed in a black suit, his presence dominated the room. All eyes snapped to him, a mixture of shock and fear etched on every face.I clutched Henry's arm, forcing myself to stand tall. Lily's champagne glass trembled in her hand, and a few droplets slipped free.Yet it was Frank who reacted most intensely. Moments ago, he had been brimming with pride, but the instant he laid eyes on Henry, his face went pale.He pulled his arm free from Lily's grasp and hurried toward Henry, wearing a look of frantic apology as he dipped his head. "U-Uncle Henry…" he faltered, his voice quivering.The words "Uncle Henry" left everyone frozen in astonishment.Henry stopped in his tracks, his gaze on Frank detached and unreadable. "Hello."Frank could hardly speak coherently. "Uncle Henry… w-why are you here? I thought you—""Were dead, huh?" Henry cut in, his voice steady and calm.Fran
