I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

”Is all this really necessary? Arenʼt you just going to re-do the marriage ceremony?” Mrs. Chen curiously asked. Well, she knew that her son and Davi already got married five years ago so why was there a need to apply for a new marriage license?

That moment, everyone, except for Zaki looked at Sei with a questioning look while Sei looked like he was currently in the middle of one of the greatest disasters in his life so his expression was obviously not good.

Realizing that he didnʼt have a choice but to tell them the truth, Sei raised his hand and he rubbed the back of his neck as he finally spoke.

”Truth is we arenʼt legally married anymore. And Davi still doesnʼt know it.” He said and everyoneʼs eyes widened with shock. Huh? What does he mean theyʼre not legally married anymore?

Everyone in the family sat still, greatly shocked at the new revelation and Hinari was the first to recover. However, before she could react about the shocking news, her eyes became even wider the moment she saw Davi standing in the stairs.

Hinari gasped loudly as her mouth quivered.

”D-d-davi…” she uttered and as soon as Sei heard Hinari, Seiʼs eyes widened in shock and apprehension. His fear was confirmed when he saw his familyʼs faces in front of him. They were all frozen in shock and they sat there with wide eyes as they looked past him to the slim figure, who also stood rooted on the spot.

ʼOh my god, how much did she hear?ʼ was the words that were flashing into each personʼs eyes.

Sei, at that moment, was attacked by an onslaught of emotions competing to take first place. Fear, apprehension, worry, shock and panic all took to the ring and the one that won the fight was fear and in second place was panic. His heart was beating so fast as the adrenaline kicked in and he couldnʼt help but scold himself for being careless. All this time that he had been speaking to his family, he was careful to make sure to listen for any signs of movement coming from the stairs which would have indicated her arrival. However, he couldnʼt hear anything because Davi had used the special skills she gained from training in the army and crept down, as silent as a ghost.

He was currently paralyzed by fear and his body didnʼt respond when his brain told it to move. Never in his life had he felt so afraid. He didnʼt want to ever lose his Davi again. Once in a lifetime was enough and if it happened again, especially if she left him by choice this time around, his world would crumble into nothing. Even though Sei believed in Davi, believed that her love for him wasnʼt something that could be easily broken just because of a misunderstanding, Sei still couldnʼt help but feel worried. After all, he understood that hearing this would definitely shock her to the core and this was why he tried his best to hide this from her even though he didnʼt want to lie to his dearest Davi.

Forcing himself to turn around, he saw her frozen figure and the moment their eyes met, his fear intensified and his dark aura exploded like an atomic bomb. This was because he saw the hurt and disbelief in her eyes which made him lose control. His heart felt like it was being smashed into billion pieces with just a single glance into those eyes.

That moment, everyone fell silent and no one dared to make a move or a sound. It was as if everyone was dumbstruck, like they were watching a falling comet that was about to crush them all, until Sei suddenly broke the suffocating silence and he began running towards her.

Seeing Sei taking quick strides, Davi snapped from the shock and her feet suddenly moved as well. Before she knew it, she was already running up the stairs.

While Davi was running away, a devil and angel started fighting inside her mind.

ʼNo, Davi… why are you running? Iʼm sure your dearest Sei has a good reason for this. Donʼt run! Stay and listen to him.ʼ

ʼWhat? You guys arenʼt legally married anymore? Is it because he destroyed your marriage certificate? Why would he destroy them? Was it because he thought that you werenʼt coming back anymore and he wanted to go back to being single so he could marry another woman?ʼ

ʼNonsense! If Sei wanted another woman, why did he wait for five long years? Sei remained loyal no matter what happened. He didnʼt even consider any woman in that time! Davi, please donʼt doubt your husband. You know how much he loves you.ʼ

ʼWell, you might be right but how could she not doubt? Why did he hide this from her in the first place?ʼ
