Chapter 1My Lover Has Delusions: He Thinks I'm His Nemesis Until I'm on the Brink of Death

My lover suffers from delusional disorder.

He imagines me as his enemy, his nemesis, the person he hates the most.

Day after day, I play along with his delusion.

Until one day, I can't pretend anymore.

I've been diagnosed with cancer.

When I returned home, the room was dark.

I put down my bag, took off my shoes, and slowly felt my way along the wall.

The moment I touched the switch, a plate flew towards me.

I tilted my head and dodged it.

The lights came on.

The man standing on the stairs looked at me expressionlessly.

"So you remember to come back."

"..."

I smiled and walked towards him.

I reached out and hugged him.

"Can you stop acting like a resentful housewife, Lucas?"

He had a faint floral scent, the one I had chosen. I thought it might neutralize the coldness he emitted.

But it didn't. His eyes still looked at me with disgust.
