All Chapters of The Witch's Last Embrace: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The first thing I did after regaining my sight was to look for my husband.I couldn't wait to share the good news with him, to celebrate together.But when I returned home, the sight before me struck me like a knife to the heart.In the bedroom, Luci Dalgon was entangled with another woman.His eyes were clouded with desire, his voice hoarse, his body moving rhythmically. Beneath him, Jasmine Barns clawed her nails into his back, her voice restrained as she whispered, "Wait… not yet. She's here…"But Luci, caught in the heat of the moment, only moved more fervently.Sensing his heightened passion, Jasmine smirked, her gaze falling mockingly on me. She pulled him closer, as if she wanted to meld him into her very being."Ah!" he groaned loudly, his voice rough with frustration. "Oh, I couldn't hold back… now I'll have to switch to another one."Jasmine handed him the used contraceptive, her eyes signaling what needed to be done. "She's back. Go deal with her."My face turned pa

When I woke up again, a glass of warm milk had been placed on the bedside table."I took the day off just to spend it with you," Luci said casually, his body draped in a bathrobe, covered in a dense pattern of kiss marks.I turned my face away, unwilling to look.He fastened my favorite necklace around my neck, his voice soft and coaxing. "I've made a reservation tonight at your favorite restaurant. It's by the sea, with the best ocean view you love."But I couldn't see anymore. What good was an ocean view to me now?Suddenly, I remembered. Jasmine grew up by the sea.Of course. He'd managed to hide living together with her from me—why wouldn't tonight's dinner include her as well?I smiled bitterly. Luci mistook it for happiness and kissed me immediately.That evening, the restaurant had been booked out entirely by him.He even invited the band Jasmine liked and arranged for a drone light show.I ate the food, which wasn't to my taste, while catching glimpses of his arm, whi

I stumbled back to the house where Luci and I had once lived. This was the place where countless sweet moments had unfolded between us.It was here he brought me into the world he called home, introducing me to the rushing cars, the towering buildings that pierced the sky, and all the shiny, unfamiliar gadgets people seemed to treasure. My awkward attempts to fit into his world never failed to amuse him; every time, he would laugh, his eyes soft with patience, before guiding me through the process once more."That's the range hood, and that's the washing machine. You use it like this," he would say, demonstrating step by step.And when I made mistakes, breaking something or pressing the wrong button, he would shrug it off with a laugh."It doesn't matter. If it's broken, we'll replace it. I have money, more than enough. As long as you're happy, nothing else matters."He said it more than once: the women he'd known before me were shallow, either chasing after his looks or his wea

"Mable, I will find you! Don't think for a second you can escape me in this lifetime!" Luci roared into the empty sky, his voice wild, his body trembling. His face twisted in despair, and rage poured out of him like a flood he could no longer control.When I returned to the Misty Forest, the landscape was exactly as I had left it, as if time had chosen not to move forward in this place. The High Priestess saw me and broke into tears, her aged face streaked with joy. The other witches, too, embraced me tightly, their eyes glistening."Mable, you've finally come back!"I looked at the High Priestess, who seemed to have aged decades in my absence. My throat tightened, words unable to form. She gazed at me with the warmth of a thousand suns, repeating gently, "It's good that you're back. That's all that matters."I had left the forest in defiance, ignoring her warnings. My decision to follow Luci had caused her so much grief that she had fainted on the spot. The guilt of that momen

Thankfully, the witches nearby acted swiftly, restraining Jasmine before she could reach me. Still, she thrashed and screamed, her face a twisted mask of fury."Mable, if you have any guts, fight me! What's the matter? Afraid, are you? You coward!" she spat, her voice sharp and grating.I didn't bother responding to her provocations, letting her words dissipate into the air like smoke. Instead, I turned my gaze toward Luci, who stood frozen in place, his expression a mix of shock and helplessness."You claim to love me, to think of me every day, yet you've kept this woman by your side all this time," I said, my voice calm but laced with disdain. "Luci, it's not that you can't live without me—it's that you can't live without a woman.""No, that's not true!" he cried, desperation flickering in his eyes. "I sent her away long ago. I don't even know why she's here now! You have to believe me!""Enough! I don't want to hear another word from you!" My voice rose, cutting through his fra
