Author: Daily Corn Eater
I found the first-aid kit, dipped a cotton swab in antiseptic, and dabbed antiseptic on the cut at the corner of his mouth.

He frowned, ready to bear the pain without a word. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he pursed his lips and whined, "It hurts."

My heart softened. I stroked his cheek.

"You're bleeding. Of course it hurts. You were so handsome before. Now your perfect face is ruined."

His pitiful expression froze.

"Is my face the only thing you like?"

What kind of question is th

  • When His First Love Returned, I Married His Brother   Chapter 11

    The door closed again.Elias untied my wrists without a word.I was still trying to figure out what to say when he looked up at me.He looked desperate but determined, as if he were about to risk everything for one last chance.He took off his jacket and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.Beneath it, he wore a sheer mesh top.The cheap fabric had rubbed patches of his fair skin raw.A thin silver chain hugged his narrow waist.Silas's punches had left cuts near his brow and the corner of his eye.Between the outfit and his fresh bruises, he looked almost indecently tempting.My brain short-circuited."What is this...?"Elias tried to hide his embarrassment, but I could hear the nervousness in his low, rough voice. His eyes glistened with unshed tears. "I knew you planned to leave me after the reception. I didn't know how to make you stay, so I thought that if I could please you, maybe you'd give me another chance."His shoulders trembled as he spoke. Fear still lingered in his eyes. "But as

    Silas fought back, shoving Elias's hand away.During the struggle, Silas pinned Elias to the floor, grabbed him by the throat, and snarled, "How did you find this place, you bastard?! If it weren't for you, Seraphina would've taken me back! You went after your own brother's girlfriend. Is there anything you won't do?!"Then something seemed to click. Silas's expression changed, and his next punch landed even harder."You've been after her for years, haven't you? I knew you had an ulterior motive when you volunteered to help me look for her college acceptance letter!""What?!"I'd been standing nearby, yelling at them to stop before they killed each other. Now I fell silent and stared at Elias."You were the one who found it?"That summer had been a nightmare. Just before my father went to prison, he'd tried to punish me one last time by throwing away my college acceptance letter.I searched every trash bin outside our building and found nothing.In the end, Silas handed it back to me.

    When I opened my eyes again, I saw nothing but the ceiling.The room was dark.Someone was holding my ankle while soft, warm lips trailed slow kisses over my skin."Hey!"The moment I tried to move, I realized my wrists were tied to the headboard.I was lying on a wide bed covered in rose petals. Silas sat at the foot of the bed, stroking my ankle as he looked up at me."Awake?"He wore an outrageously revealing outfit that barely covered his upper body.Red cords crisscrossed his abs, strung with tiny bells that jingled whenever he moved.Back then, he rarely agreed to dress up for me. Whenever I asked, he'd look disgusted and say, "How is dressing like that any different from being a stripper?"My eyes nearly popped out of my head. I scrambled backward.Back when we were together, seeing him like this would've had me all over him.Now, I just think he's lost his damn mind.Unbelievable. Apparently, losing me is enough to make him throw away all his pride."Y-you... stay back! Don't c

    I planned to pack my things and leave right away.Then I remembered I'd promised Elias a few days earlier that I'd go to a reception with him.It was an important event, and I was already listed as his plus one.Since I'm such a kind and generous person, I decided to go with him one last time."Don't get the wrong idea. I always keep my promises. I'm just not the kind of person who cancels at the last minute."The tiny spark of hope in Elias's eyes immediately went out.I didn't expect to see Silas at the reception.He sat beside a young woman, putting food on her plate as he spoke softly to her. "Try these. The scallops were flown in fresh this morning."She rolled her eyes."I'm allergic to shellfish."Then she grabbed a lobster and happily dug in.Silas looked like he didn't know what to say.Then he spotted me. Guilt flashed across his face, and he jumped to his feet."Seraphina? You're here?"The young woman turned toward me.I finally got a good look at her face.Ione Mercer?She

    Everyone nearby rushed over to help her."Aurelia! Are you all right? How did you fall?"Clutching her bruised forehead, she looked up at me and shook her head."I lost my footing. No one pushed me."Everyone followed her gaze to me, and their expressions changed.One man blurted, "I thought I saw..."Then he seemed to remember I'd arrived with Elias and quickly fell silent.Without a word, I walked over to Aurelia and slapped her across the face.Her head snapped to the side. When she turned back to me, her eyes brimmed with tears."Elias and I were only acquaintances when we were younger, Seraphina... You don't have to come after me."Wow. She really knows how to play the victim."Try that again, and a slap will be the least of your problems.""Mr. Voss is here."Everyone began explaining at once, but no one dared accuse me outright.Still, they all made it sound like I'd pushed her.Tears streamed down Aurelia's face."I'm fine, Mr. Voss. Please don't blame her."Elias's expression

Don't tell me you love me for my personality. Please. I treated you terribly."I may have my flaws, but I'm gorgeous. No one can compete with this face.Surely that makes up for my bad temper.He shook his head."I love you for who you are. You're a good person. You saved me."My hand froze, the cotton swab still hovering near his lips.I quickly covered my embarrassment with a joke. "So this is your way of repaying me? By offer
