After Revenge, My Ex-Husband Returned

“Did you think you could kill my child and live happily ever after?”
Elizabeth, who lost her husband and child due to the Count’s treachery, ends her revenge by giving him death—and prepares to follow her loved ones into the afterlife.
“Don’t try to escape through death. I’ll make you live a life worse than hell.”
But before she can, the husband she thought dead, Burke, appears before her.
Furious that Elizabeth married the Count, Burke vows to torment her.
“If you’re alive, then pour out all your anger and resentment on me. I’ll take it.”
Too exhausted to clear up the misunderstandings, Elizabeth is simply content to remain by Burke’s side.

“I believe you now. So… won’t you stay by my side?”
Realizing that all his bitter resentment had been nothing but an illusion, Burke kneels before Elizabeth, whose heart has long since closed to him.
“You can resent me if you want. You can push me away. But don’t disappear from my sight.”
Yet Elizabeth remains unmoved by his tears. Can Burke—willing to throw away everything for her—and Elizabeth—too numb to feel—ever find happiness together?
