[IFITAOAMV] Chapter 2

Seth was of a similar age to Edwin and one of his closest aides.

According to the original novel, he was the only one to see Edwin off and greet him upon returning.

It was a measure that was implemented due to the number of servants who died whenever Edwin was in a foul mood.

Faced with the fact that I had been captured by a madman, anxiety and fear took root in my heart.

“Who is this?”

“My bride, God has finally sent me a gift.”

Unlike Edwin, who was full of excitement, Seth’s cold gaze was full of disdain as he stared at me.

Edwin chuckled when I moved to hide behind him.

“Seth, my bride is timid and has a weak stomach. You’ll have to be careful when tending to her needs,” Edwin stated as he gently embraced me.

“Yes, My Lord.”

Contrary to his dutiful response, Seth’s eyes were full of bitterness when he lowered his head.

Edwin looked pleased with himself as he hugged me snugly.

“…I can walk.”

Edwin smiled as I expressed my opinion apprehensively.

“But your face is so pale.”

His expression seemed genuinely concerned.

‘Don’t be fooled!’

Edwin often used his attractiveness to seduce his prey.

He had barely done anything, but I was already mesmerized by his gorgeous golden hair and his full reddish lips.

From his refined facial features to his slightly raised eyes and sharp nose, he was beautiful enough to be called a masterpiece of God.

Above all else, his striking eyes, which resembled aquamarine, were the pinnacle of beauty and fatally attractive.

Who wouldn’t be seduced by his beauty after experiencing his gentle smile and deep voice?

“Now I can see my bride properly.”

Edwin held me in his arms as he entered a large room and walked towards a sofa. When he took a seat on a sofa, he refused to release me and pulled me onto his lap instead.

“Please put me down.”

While perched on his lap, I was very aware of his hard thighs, the closeness of his face, and the sound of his breathing.

“No. After all this time, I have finally found my bride. I can’t allow you to run away.”

“I’m not going to run away.”

“Liar, you’re already trembling like this.” Edwin smirked and tapped my nose.

The touch was so terrifying that I flinched and cowered.

“I’m not a scary person.”

His expression resembled a wounded puppy.

I immediately wanted to soothe him, but I resisted and tried to get a hold of myself instead.

“Sir Edwin.”

“How can you call your groom ‘sir’? Call me Ed.”

The sweet voice that resonated in my ears and his finely curved eyes were enough to relax anyone’s heart.

However, when facing the crushing weight of that gaze, I could only shiver in fear.

I parted my lips and forced myself to speak because of this preconceived notion that I would die if I didn’t say his name immediately.

“Uh, Ed…”

“Good job.” Edwin smiled brightly as if he was satisfied.

“What is my bride’s name?”

As I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I became nervous again at the ensuing question.

Since I wasn’t of this world, no one would know or have any memories of the owner of this body, so I had no way of knowing who I possessed.

And I didn’t want to tell him my real name.

His smile deepened at my hesitation.

‘He’s obviously smiling, but why are the hairs on the back of my neck standing up?’

In the end, I was overwhelmed by the pressure and spoke frankly.

“I don’t know.”

Edwin looked puzzled at my answer.

“I don’t know who I am.  I don’t know why I fell into Edw- into your arms”

I was going to say ‘Edwin’, but when confronted with that formidable gaze, I immediately decided against it.

The fierce look softened immediately.

“Is God testing me?”

Edwin tilted his head and gently grasped my chin.

Even with the soft touch, my body stiffened with tension.

“Hmm, the prophecy was correct,” Edwin muttered as he gazed into my eyes with a perplexed expression on his face.

“You even have silver hair, too.”

After twiddling a lock of my hair, he lean forward brushed his lips into it.

I wish my hair had been full of static when it came into contact with his red lips.

“You’re my bride, but why can’t you remember anything?”

When his hand began to gently stroke my back, I tried to move away, but he pulled me back and hugged me tightly.

To prevent me from running away.

“This is going to be fun. I will replace your lost memories with new experiences until I occupy every corner of your mind,” Edwin added with a wolfish grin.

I was suffocating on the possessive desire, a feeling I had never experienced in my life.

“Do you want me to give you a name?”

‘Do I have a choice in the matter?’

Swallowing a sigh, I nodded reluctantly.

“Well then, what would be a good name?”

After pondering for a moment, he slapped his knee in excitement.

“I think ‘Angelina’ is suitable since you’re my angel and gift from God. What do you think?”

‘What do you mean by, ‘my angel’?’

I wanted to hide my face in embarrassment, but I had no choice but to nod my head.

Because my life is precious

“Angelina Crawford, that sounds great.”

‘Don’t do as you please and attach Crawford to my name. I have no intention of marrying you.’

I wanted to shout it proudly, but I didn’t have the courage to risk my life in front of a predator.

So, I swallowed my words with tears in my eyes.
