The Reason Why the Forsaken Fake Returned Chapter 48

His gentlemanly demeanor lasted only a moment before his tongue slipped in like a snake, instantly wrapping around hers and trapping it. The kiss was so intense, as if he meant to steal every last breath from her, that Shailoh instinctively pushed against his broad shoulders. Ignoring her feeble resistance, he stripped away her clothes. Her rounded breasts filled his hands completely. Caleb immediately lowered his head, licking her areola and biting down on her reddened nipple.

 

“Ah!”

 

Shailoh pushed at his shoulder, her nails out. Caleb, as if to apologize, rolled his tongue over the spot he’d bitten, then drew it into his mouth. As his tongue traced her swollen nipple, Shailoh’s face flushed hotly.

 

Caleb slid down her body, lifting the hem of her dress and pulling down her underwear. The sensation of the fabric gliding down made Shailoh shiver. Then, staring intently at her pussy, slick with arousal, Caleb parted her folds and buried his face in the glistening flesh. He licked up her engorged clit, swollen from stimulation, and sucked it into his mouth.

 

“Ahh… ha… ah!” Shailoh threw her head back, letting out strained moans.

 

Listening to her cries, Caleb slipped his tongue inside her, where he’d previously thrust his fingers, while his hand rolled her hardened clit.

 

“Ah, mm… ha…”

 

Shailoh’s vision went white, drool slipping from her parted lips. Her hands, which had been flailing helplessly in the air, suddenly gripped the sheets tight. A jolt of electricity surged through her body, and then climax overtook her.

 

“Ahhh…!”

 

Her body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning, then went limp. Caleb wiped the slick arousal from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and stood, unbuckling his belt.

 

At the sensation of his heavy cock touching her below, Shailoh shook her head. “I-It won’t all fit…”

 

The man who had so perfectly played the gentleman now revealed a cock so thick and dark it was almost grotesque. Its size rivaled a child’s forearm, and instead of anticipation, a wave of fear washed over her.

 

“Don’t worry, Sasha. It will go in.” Like soothing a whining child, Caleb pressed a brief kiss to Shailoh’s forehead, then gripped her hips and immediately thrust into her.

 

“Ahh…!”

 

The pleasure from his earlier caresses vanished in an instant, replaced by a pain that felt like she was being split in two, making her body writhe. Instinctively, she pushed against his hard chest, but Caleb only grabbed both her ankles and lifted them onto his shoulders before starting to thrust.

 

With each deep stroke, burying himself to the hilt and then pulling out until only the tip remained, Shailoh’s body convulsed. The more he pounded into her, the less it hurt, replaced by a tingling pleasure. Holding her waist, Caleb entered even deeper.

 

“Ah, mm!”

 

The wet, obscene sounds of flesh slapping together, the wet squelch, and the sound of his balls smacking against her pussy, flesh meeting with obscene, sticky noises, mingled with ragged, tangled moans.

 

Just when she thought she couldn’t take any more, the sensation of something hot spreading inside her womb filled her, and an unbearable pleasure radiated from her belly through her entire body.

 

“Ahh, ah…!”

 

There was no time to savor the afterglow. Caleb, his hair wet, swept it back and flipped her over.

It had been a long, endless night. When Shailoh opened her eyes, her whole body aching, it was already midday. There was no one beside her. Flustered, she swung her legs off the bed, and as she did, a dull ache in her lower belly and the traces of last night flowed down between her thighs.

 

“Ah…”

 

That wasn’t all. There were bite marks on her thighs, and clear kiss marks were visible all over her body. Her face flushed hot, and she was at a loss for what to do when a knock sounded at the door. Thinking it might be Doris, she hurriedly climbed back into bed and pulled the covers up. As soon as she said to come in, the door opened and someone entered. But it wasn’t Doris.

 

“Sasha.”

 

“Caleb.”

 

“I figured you’d be awake by now. Are you feeling okay?”

 

Embarrassed, Shailoh could only nod.

 

Caleb, who had brought her breakfast on a small tray, set it down on the bed. “You must be hungry. I heard you barely ate yesterday. I shouldn’t have pushed you so hard.”

 

“…No, it’s fine.” Shailoh shook her head, her face still red.

 

Meanwhile, Caleb deftly broke the soft-boiled egg with a special spoon and, like a mother bird feeding her chick, brought it right up to her lips. “Ah.”

 

Shailoh stared at him, as if to ask what he was doing, and reached out to take the spoon herself. But Caleb easily dodged her hand and quietly threatened her.

 

“Want me to feed you with my mouth?”

 

“That’s…”

 

“We’ve done far more than that.”

 

In the end, Shailoh surrendered and obediently opened her mouth. Caleb smiled and fed her every last bite diligently.

 

Only after she’d eaten enough did the meal finally end. Moving to the parlor, Shailoh got straight to the point. “If my guess is right, this is the work of the Diponz family. But something doesn’t add up. There’s no way they could pull something like this off so brazenly in the capital, which isn’t even their own territory, without an accomplice.”

 

“I’ll look into that myself. Anything else?”

 

“I want to hear your plan, Your Highness. Now that you’ve made your declaration, what are you going to do next?”

 

“First, I plan to send Lady Perus abroad to annul the marriage. Then, I need to find irrefutable proof that Queen Ingrid harmed my mother and brother.”

 

“Proof?”

 

“There was a palace maid who barely escaped death at the queen’s hands back then. We’re secretly tracking her whereabouts.”

 

“A maid’s testimony won’t be enough.”

 

“Exactly. All we need is an opportunity for them to hesitate to set things in motion. To solidify her power, the queen has been secretly bringing in prohibited goods in collusion with Duke Perus and Duke Diponz.”

 

“So that’s why you disguised yourself as Baron Cal and got into the trading business, to catch them in the act.”

 

“According to Count Dwibon’s reports, the actual volume of trade in this kingdom hasn’t matched the declared import and export numbers for the past few years. And then, all of a sudden, Duke Perus managed to secure an iron trade deal with a foreign kingdom? There’s no way that happened without something going on behind the scenes.”

 

She couldn’t even begin to guess just how far ahead this man had calculated.

 

“…So you’re planning to expose everything while they’re thrown off balance. And after that?”

 

“People always look out for their own interests. No matter how virtuous they seem, everyone knows how to do basic addition and subtraction.” Caleb, crossing his legs the other way, finished his thought matter-of-factly. “No one wants to stay in a tower that’s starting to crumble. At that point, those who decide to side with me will spill the rest of the evidence about the two murders.”

 

“Testimony from former palace staff that Queen Ingrid killed the late queen and the first prince. That might be enough to shake the kingdom for a moment, but it won’t be sufficient.”

 

“Of course. I’m preparing something else as well—a fatal, decisive blow that will deal a critical blow to the queen’s faction and back up those claims.”

 

A shiver ran down her spine at his enigmatic smile. One moment, he was the most tender lover; the next, he seemed like a ruthless schemer, coldly calculating every move. Just as Shailoh, unsettled by a vague sense of foreboding, parted her lips to ask what he meant—

 

“Your Highness, Lord Eric has come to see you.”

 

“Tell him I’ll be out shortly,” Caleb answered curtly, standing up.

 

Shailoh rose as well, picking up his outerwear and handing it to him.

 

“As you’ve probably guessed, I’m recruiting people who’ll support me behind the scenes. I’ll look into what you mentioned, but it’ll take some time.”

 

“I can’t stay away from the capital for too long. People might get suspicious. Luckily, I don’t have any performances scheduled for now, but since this all happened so suddenly, I haven’t had a chance to explain my absence to the troupe.”

 

“I’ll keep that in mind. If anyone suspicious shows up in the meantime, let me know.” Caleb pressed a quick kiss to her forehead, then left the mansion at once.

Left alone, Shailoh sat in the safe house, running through various lines in her head in case she was questioned by an investigator.

 

“It’ll probably just be a routine inquiry, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared for the unexpected.”

 

“Thank you, Doris. I appreciate you playing the other part.”

 

“Don’t mention it. By the way, are you planning to keep everything about Baroness Elton a secret?”

 

“It’s too risky to admit I was involved. I’ve already told them some things, and I doubt Claire, who’s completely broken now, would reveal my identity. Still, there’s a chance the Diponz family could figure it out…” She trailed off, then suddenly ran her hands over her face as a thought flashed through her mind.
