Refusing Your Ex-Husband’s Obsession: A Guide

Chapter 1 – Hello (Goodbye), Honey (1)

—

At the moment of my death, once I had accepted it, what flashed through my mind was my first meeting with my husband.
At once glance, I knew that he was an impressive man, and he had a sharp look in his eyes that seemed as if he could see right through you.

The voice that flowed out of his shapely lips was so filled with murderous intent that I shuddered to my very core.
At that time, all I could think of was that he could speak Korean so well despite being a foreigner.

Perhaps my thoughts could be read through my expression.
As if he was baffled by the sight before him, my husband had murmured,

[ Ha.
What’s this now.
]

But his bewilderment did not erase the domineering air about him.
Leisurely, he looked at me up and down with narrowed eyes as though he was an army officer sizing me up, looking to see whether I was an enemy or not.

My husband was a world-famous S-Class Esper.
And besides being an S-Class Esper, he could also wield dual elements, making him the most coveted rare Esper.

[ What kind of match rate… with just a B-Class.
]

Having just manifested as a Guide, I met him through fate-like coincidence, and I was urged to take a matching test with him.
The match rate didn’t make sense to me either, and so I was left speechless.

At that time, my husband was shocked as well.
And, I wonder, was it only an illusion that he felt relieved by this?

Ever since then, the fact that I became my husband’s dedicated Guide felt like a dream.
For a while, I often stared blankly into the air, just trying to process this.
Because of how unhappy I had been all my life, I couldn’t believe that such luck had graced me here…

The reason why I, as a mere B-Class Guide, was allowed to become the dedicated Guide of an S-Class Esper was due to the overwhelmingly high match rate that we had.

Usually, the matching rate that’s considered to be high between an Esper and a Guide was only about 80%, however, my husband and I had a match rate of 99%—just barely short of 100%.

It was a match rate that had never before existed.
It was such a fascinating phenomenon that not only Korea had been interested, but even the entire world.

But somehow, my husband disliked me from the very beginning.
His facial expressions, his actions and his words—everything told me that he was uncomfortable around me and displeased by me.
It felt as if he had drawn a line between us already, with a clear threat not to come close.

I still don’t know why it was like this, but…

[ Compared to your Esper’s words, it seems like superior’s words are more important to you.
]

[ In the end, you’re the same as the lot of them.
]

He had always looked at me with disproving eyes, but at that moment, his face had grown blurry in front of me.
The vicious words stabbed into me like daggers.

That’s why I had never even dreamed that I’d marry him.
Even despite being his dedicated guide, I wouldn’t have ever dared hope for it.

However, when it was him who asked me to marry him, all the sadness and despair that I had felt until then vanished in an instant, and I dreamed of a pink future for us ahead.

When he proposed to me, his expression had been stern, but his blue
