Victoria's memories came to a halt.Vic's tears streamed down her face as she reflected on the memories swirling in her mind.

In the past, he appeared to be just like everyone else. But now, he's turned into a total lunatic fixated on Victoria and Zoe."Why are you helping me?" Vic questioned,Ian paused, meeting her gaze."You once attempted to harm me with poison. And now, you're tending to my wound. I just can't wrap my head around it."Ian nodded his head. "Because I loved you. I fell for you because you were kind to me in the past. It was also the same reason why I dedicated staying at Zoe's side for a long time. She was kind to me. I tend to fall for people who show kindness.""So, you're doing this out of love?""You can say it is. Speaking of the poison, how did you survive? I thought it would really kill you."Vic shut her lips.

Victoria stormed into the Football team’s locker room, her eyes immediately locking onto Jake, who was in the middle of putting on his shirt and humming a tune.

After ditching me, you thought you could build a happy life with someone else?

Outside the operating room, Martin and Vic sat on a bench, anxiously awaiting updates on his condition.Martin observed Vic, who had just managed to compose herself. Her eyes were red and puffy, mirroring the swelling on her injured foot."I'll stay here," Martin said gently. "You should go get your foot treated, Vic. You need care too."Vic, however, responded with a different sentiment, "I never thought someone would be willing to take a bullet for me."Martin fell silent, his gaze fixed on her, absorbing the gravity of her realization.Her fingers, stained with bloo

A female bodyguard tragically lost her life while bravely saving her employer's daughter from drowning. It was truly a heartbreaking incident."I heard she was one of Mr. Caws' top bodyguards. It's such a shame she died so young," said one of the embalmers getting ready to prepare her body."Yeah, life can be so unpredictable. We never know who will be around tomorrow.
