The Reason for the Obsession with the Fake

The real one was found.

That meant that Chloe, who was a fake and a stand-in, could now exit.

The first thing I did after possessing the villainess who gets mu*dered in the novel was to ‘find the female lead.’

In the meantime, I had to fabricate the lie that I could read emotions as an excuse to survive.

And now it was time for everyone to return to their places.

“My lovely little liar.”

The moment Delphian’s voice, which had always sounded sweet, felt unfamiliar for the first time.

“It’s too late to run away.”

By the time my ankle was caught, it was already too late.

“I found the real one for you. Now let me go.”

This wasn’t supposed to take this long.

Chloe was pinned to the bed like prey caught in a trap after biting into sweet bait.

“Delphian, it’s all over now.”

“It’s not the end, it’s the beginning.”

The laughter that seeped through Delphian’s pretty lips was clear.

“Chloe, this is your fault. You were too perfect for a fake.”
