All Chapters of Obsession: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Silence filled the room after his strange whisper.Iris blinked in confusion as she looked at him."What language was that?"Gabriel slowly raised his head, as though he had only just realized what he had said.Then a very faint smile appeared on his lips."An old language."He offered no further explanation.Yet something in his tone made a strange tightness form inside her chest.As if those words...Had not been spoken casually.But had been a genuine plea.Gabriel finally stepped away from her and straightened up.His expression returned to its usual calm and cold state."Get some rest tonight."He said it while walking toward the door.But before he left—He suddenly stopped."We're leaving tomorrow."Iris blinked in confusion."Leaving?"He nodded without turning around."We're returning to Calsir Palace in the capital."Her eyes widened immediately.The capital...That meant she would see Letty again.A small spark of happiness appeared inside her.But...For some unknown reaso

Iris's breath caught completely. "My... Iri." The nickname left his lips with dangerous softness. As though he had been saying it for a very long time. Her face immediately flushed bright red, and she took a step backward. "T-The Imperial Wing?!" she asked in genuine shock. As for Gabriel... He simply looked at her calmly, as though everything were perfectly normal. "Yes." "But I'm a maid!" she protested quickly, pointing at herself nervously. "How am I supposed to live in the Imperial Wing in the first place?!" He took another step forward. "Simple." He said it with deadly calmness. "You'll live with me." Her mind completely stopped working. Behind them... Several maids passing through the corridor gasped. One of them nearly dropped the tray she was carrying. As for Iris... She looked as though her soul had left her body. "W-W-With you?!" Gabriel frowned slightly. "Why do you look so shocked?" "Because this is not normal at all!" she exclaimed, waving her h

When Gabriel noticed that her sobs had started to calm down for a moment, he moved quickly. He lifted her into his arms and placed her carefully on the bed, as if he was afraid she might break in his hands.He held her hands together and kissed her fingers one by one, his eyes never leaving her confused face.He leaned closer and rested his forehead against hers in heavy silence.She had stopped crying, but her breathing was still uneven, a short gasp breaking the silence every now and then.He said in a low, rough voice:“Oh… my love.”Then he suddenly pulled her into him and held her against his chest so she could hear his strong heartbeat up close.His heart ached at seeing her cry like that.Her voice trembled as she held onto him:“I… Your Majesty… they said you were going to marry… and that you were just playing with me—”His voice roared above her head, his anger beyond what the word “furious” could describe.He was angry at himself and at his own decision; if it weren’t for th

His... first wife?!Iris didn't know why her heart tightened painfully.She couldn't understand herself at that moment.Was this... jealousy?She hadn't expected that he had been married before.She swallowed hard and asked,"So... did you love her?"Gab closed his eyes for a moment, then turned around and smiled for the first time, revealing a row of white teeth."I was madly in love with her. I learned how to cook for her."Then he returned to his work.Iris's smile faded, and tears gathered in her eyes.She sighed to herself and muttered weakly,"What a lucky woman."She lifted her head and looked at the moon through the window, lost in thought.Then an image of her parents appeared in her mind from the past, when her father used to cook for her mother while she hugged him from behind.As if Iris's body had a will of its own, she climbed down from the counter and suddenly hugged Gabriel from behind, burying her face against his back."..."Gabriel's body froze.Then he turned sligh

As soon as the magical vortex vanished…A cold breeze swept through, carrying the scent of rain and trees.Iris blinked several times in disbelief.Then her eyes slowly widened.“Waaah…”A soft gasp escaped her instinctively.The garden in front of her was unlike anything she had ever seen before.A very quiet place…Covered in soft green grass like an endless sea under moonlight.Massive trees surrounded the area from all sides, hanging with glowing flowers in a silvery-blue color.Small rivers flowed calmly between stone paths…And above the water floated tiny lights that looked like stars.Even the air here…Was warm in a comforting way.Iris slowly released Gabriel’s waist and stepped forward.She looked around with clear childlike wonder.“What is this place…?”Gabriel smiled as he watched her bright eyes.From the very beginning…He knew she would love this place.Because Iris had always loved nature more than anything else.He approached her calmly and said:“Do you like it?”S
