Although she was an innocent woman who did not know the world, Rowena fell into a love trap and became the mistress of Duke Killian. She devoted her body and mind to him for three years, but she was thrown away with repeated contempt and misunderstanding. One day she secretly gave birth to his child and lived in hiding like a sinner. After five years, he returned like nothing ever happened. “long time no see. Miss Philone.” “… … Don’t you remember throwing money at me and throwing me away?” “I throw it away, so I have to pick it up.” Killian smiled, responding lightly. The cold eyes turned to the door where the child was hiding. “I didn’t expect that you would be so quick, but in the meantime, it must have been sweet.” “… … .” “Choose. Miss Philone.” A man who lifted my cheeks with a glance of appreciation of the object reported. “Will you be my mistress again, or will you die with your child on the street?” I can already tell the male lead is shit but my masochistic heart needs spoilers
Spoiler Table of Contents Placeholder Table of Contents Caused of most of their misunderstandings How they met, How FL became mistress and why ML set FL away How ML tried to find FL after meeting her for the first time/Unloyal Head Maid (1st and 2nd misunderstanding) Five/Three Years After FL Ran Away (1) (2) MTL's First of Chapter 16 Chapter 97 ML finding out he's the father
So... he's still gonna ask her to be his mistress? Honestly, unless the man sends out assassins or MC is that incompetent, I'd rather risk living out on the streets. Oh well... what a mother can do for her children does wonders
Sadly, if there is a child involved, they would end up with the scumbag, not to mention the FL is a dumb bitch in heat, so yeah she would likely wag her tail crawling back to him -What happened after he went to pick up the trash ups the FL he throw away "their lips entangled and shortly she was enjoying as if the five year gap was natural to overlook" -Flashback of their past, he 'punish' her (because she have a sullen expression after she hear the lady's gossiping about her being his mistress) to bite off his glove using her mouth "there was no such choice, the absolute underdog is always her. If she refuse, she will probably have to stay alone for more than a week, like a pet dog waiting for it's owner to return" I only read 3 chapter so far, but I already fed up with both of them, ugh
Sounds like she needs a genius doctor,secret agent/poison master to transmigrate into her life. Need to get someone to bang her head against a cauldron, drown her in a lake, or kill her in the woods
The tags on the novel includes “naive protagonist” so I have almost no hope for this novel having a likable FL
Spoiler: Links https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-mistress-runs-away/ https://ridibooks.com/books/3049013195 Sounds trashy but still interested to know more
From what I read the misunderstandings are from manipulation of evidences, betrayal, and MC lying to ML since he's possessive. ML didn't believe everything he was told so he made sure to get more than one source of info and FL blew her chance by lying and trusting her maid
also want a spoiler, Her ex-husband is very rude, ugh I want to know what happened to them I mean ex-wife and child after she was picked up by ml force?
If she doesn't throw a punch or two when this scumbag returns to "pick her up", I would be majorly disappointed. It's fine if she wants to play the idiot and naive woman but when he threatens to harm the child too, that's a major red flag right there. Who does this shit think he is?
Spoiler: misunderstandings pretty sure the head maid lied multiple times to the ML creating a lot of misunderstandings. Head maid hates FL and wanted him to marry a princess so she said FL had a another lover and was a courtesan.
So let me get this straight - the super intelligent, genius blah blah ML didn't wonder why MC would keep around a maid who was so clearly not just a traitor to her own master but also showcased her hatred for MC clearly? He didn't even think - oh she is such a bitch, why is the woman I am sleeping with still keeping her around? Something seems suspicious hmmm... And since he belived she has a lover, he continued to sleep with her? Uh - uhI have long left behind neurotic mills & boon stories in my angsty tweenage years lol
She's not 'naive', she's STUPID! I mean what woman will just blindly allow herself to be thrown towards a man like a rag doll! This idiot had an evidence - the letter written by her friend who called her!, testimonials of the people who had seen her when she was in her own city, which can prove she never left it so how could she borrow such a huge amount of money but no! The ultimatum she came up with was to be a mistress! I'm relieved it's all fictional cause I can't shoulder this amount of stupidity. The male lead is equally deranged.
I like the story at first.. but now idk.. so many loophole. I still read the story anw, lol. Spoiler: Part I : He doesn't love me, so let's runaway FL became ML's mistress. They met at train, and she fell in love at first sight at him (well, from narration he seemed pretty decent guy). She had been rob by thief who took all her money. ML helped her. Then ML gave her an agreement to became his mistress in exchage he would take care of her in the capital. Meanwhile, ML only saw her as his decoration and as a tool to avoid The Queen's (his aunt) intervension to marry him to some noble girl. FL's inferiority: ML had a fiance before. Blonde with green eyes (?) like her. The fiance was dead (I forget how she died). And the rumor said that ML loved that dead fiance so much (and for some reason ML had that fiance portrait at his mansion). She always thought that she bacame her replacement and ML still love that fiance. Three years into relationship FL still hoped that one day ML would propose to her. She still had this naive mindset. And fyi the society didn't like her for some reason, they always called her the mistress and she won't be able to become the Duchess. FL had her dream to become renowned novelist like her uncle who live at foreign country. She always sneaked out to meet her editor and dressed up as a man. Here, ML's servant who didn't like FL from the start used this oppurtunity to slander her. ML knew about her affair but didn't care much. Then one day, ML asked her if she wanted to go to his island. Yes, he owned an island. FL went like 'omg he going to propose to me!'. She went to the island with some hope. The reason ML sent her to the island: he couldn't avoid the Queen's attempt to marry him to a noble lady. Well, he then made an agreement with his new fiance that they would marry for one year then divorce. There were some money involve as well. Both had their own share. ML sent FL to his island so she less aware of the news going on in the capital and to protect her for some reason (I'm not sure tho about this part). But dun dun dun. The new fiance was a bitch. She knew that FL was on his island, the she suddenly wanted to hold their wedding on his island. FL waited for weeks on the island. On the day that she heard ML finally came to the island she became perplexed when ML came down from the ship while holding a lady's hand. The lady that had blonde and green eyes like her (duh). Then the new fiance went like 'Oh you must be Rowena. Hi~ I'm going to marry Killian in this island. Please come darling.' Then some sense finally get into Rowena. She knew now that her realationship with Killian won't go anywhere and she would always be the 'mistress'. Then in a few days she just pack her dress, left the jewelries, except a ring that Killian gave her. She went on a ship while holding her stomach. Yes everyone, she just realized that she didn't get her menstruation for sometime. And concluded that she was pregnant. Well at least her guess was right. I'll try to write the next spoiler. I haven't spoke or write english for sometimes, so my english is a bit rusty.
Thank you for spoilers! Would be much appreciated if you could continue! Will ML know that the child is his? What happened to ML new wife ...alive? divorced? still married to ML even after 5 years? Why did ML came back to MC?
