When Ian returned to the attic, he took care of the injury on Vic's wrist. He applied some antibiotic gel to the irritated spot caused by the tight rope."This is the best stuff for wounds like this," Ian said with a grin as he carefully spread the gel.Vic glanced at him. 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. As she made her way over, she grabbed a ball and hurled it at his head.“Ow! What the…!” Jake’s words trailed off as he spotted Victoria standing there. He flashed a grin at her and instructed his teammates, “Hey, everyone, give us some privacy.”The other players filed out of the room.Jake walked up to Victoria and gently lifted her chin. “It’s been a while. What brings you here? Looking for another go-round?”Victoria pushed his hands away, tears streaming down her face. “You promised to keep it between us. I never told anyone what you did to me.”“It’s true. I didn’t tell anyone at all. Why would I? I don’t want to go to jail, babe.”“Don’t you call me babe! You assh*le! You know I can send you to jail right away!”“But you won’t. Unless you wanted everyone to know it.”Victoria wiped her tears. She was trembling as she as
Jasmine, who had used Victoria’s secret to bring her down, fled the country after getting death threats from some random person. One night, she heard that Victoria had been in a car accident. The following day, an anonymous text popped up on her phone: “You’re next, Jasmine.”Panic set in. Jasmine reached out to the police for help, but that night, she couldn’t make it back to her condo because she ended up dying in a car crash.“I did it all for you,” Ian said, thinking back on everything he did for his first love who had betrayed him. “I took out Jake. I also got rid of Jasmine, who made your life miserable for years. But in return, all I got was your betrayal, Victoria.”Vic looked at Ian, the guy who was obsessed with Victoria.Ian continued, “So, you got engaged to Martin. After ditching me, you thought you could build a happy life with someone else? You really think I’d just go along with that?!”He aimed the gun at her, his hand shaking as he steadied his finger near the trigge
“You are the nearest person in that place! We will send back up but please, please! Save my sisters!” Mikhail begged to Martin.After finding out the possible location of Vic, Mikhail called Martin, who was probably near the area.‘I have to save Vic. I can’t let her die again,’ Martin thought.If there’s someone who should save her, he believed it’s him. But then, Gray came to his mind.“I wanted to be selfish,” he murmured. But deep down, he knew the consequences of his selfishness. He wanted to make things right with Vic for the mistakes he had made before.And so, Martin called Gray."Wait, that's where it is?!" Gray shouted after Martin revealed the location.He pulled up the map and realized just how far away he was!"Great, just great!" Gray swore, frustration bubbling over."My team and I are heading there now. I’ll do everything I can to find her," Martin assured him. "But it would really help if you could get there too."The call ended.Gray was trying to catch his breath as
"What is your greatest fear?"This was a question Martin posed to Vic during her interview for the position of his bodyguard."I fear bullets. They travel so quickly, and I wish I could intercept one to save a life," Vic had replied.Now, as Martin watched Vic weep over Gray, who had heroically taken the bullet meant for her, the weight of her words hung heavily in the air.Gray was rushed to the hospital without delay. 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
“Cut!” the director called out.The final scene of the highly anticipated season two of the hit movie had finished.“Good job, everyone!”The crew and cast erupted in applause, celebrating yet another incredible project. Victoria, the lead actress, couldn’t contain her excitement as she approached the director.“Thank you so much! I had a blast working with you,” Victoria beamed.“No, thank you! Honestly, this film wouldn’t have been the same without you. I knew from the moment I saw you that you were destined to be a superstar. You’re going to be a huge action star, Victoria Red.”It had been two years since Victoria had woken up from her coma. She still held onto her dream of becoming an actress, but she was puzzled about how she had acquired her fighting skills.‘What did I do before? How did I get this ability?’ Victoria wondered, staring at her hands.“There’s a party happening next week, and our star can’t miss it, got it?” the director said.Victoria nodded in agreement.“Victor
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. Let’s get back to work; Mr. Caws is waiting for us to finish this up."With that, the two embalmers started the embalming process, making an incision on the right side of the lower neck to drain the remaining blood from the body.As the knife got closer to the skin, one of the guys noticed something strange—a little twitch from the corpse's hand.“Wait a second!”The shout made the other guy stop before he could make the cut.“What’s up?”“I swear I just saw her hand move!”“Are you serious? She’s been dead for seven hours. That can’t be right.”“I’m telling you, I saw it!”He let out a frustrated sigh and checked for a
Vic was bursting with excitement as she made her way back to her home country. The wait to see Gray again was almost unbearable, and she couldn't wait to share the news that she had been given a second chance at life.But first, she knew she had to make a stop.With a bouquet of flowers in hand, she headed to her grave. When she arrived, she was taken aback by the sight of so many flowers.“Wow,” she whispered, counting the arrangements surrounding her resting place.There were both dried and fresh blooms, a clear sign that people often came to pay their respects.“Ah, I see why it’s tough to let go,” she laughed softly, feeling a warm glow knowing so many cared about her. “I wonder which one Gray brought for me.”Whispering to herself, she couldn't shake the worry about how Gray was coping since her sudden disappearance.“I really hope you’re doing okay,” she said. “But honestly, I also kind of hope you’re still feeling sad.”Two conflicting thoughts that meant the same thing. She wa
Victoria confessed to her parents about her pasts. Although Sabby and Emmanuel were happy for the news that her memories came back, they were in sorrow to learn that their youngest child was once a victim of r*pe.However, Victoria told them that she’s finally okay. If there’s one thing she wishes for, that is to meet Mark for the last time.Therefore, Victoria visited the prison. She sat on a chair in front of glass window where she could see Mark.“Long time no see, Mark,” Victoria uttered.Mark, who changed his name into Ian and worked as Martin’s bodyguard, couldn’t stare back at Victoria. “Why are you here?” he asked.“Well, I guess I wanted to see you for the last time,” Victoria said. “I mean after you threatened me for spilling the truth and tattered my car, I knew I have to see you.”Mark’s eyes grew. He looked at Victoria, who seemed to be the real Victoria.“Are you really Victoria?” he asked.Somehow, even though Vic didn’t tell Mark about the soul changing, Mark believed
“You can do it, girl. Expose that b*tch,” Sofia gave support to Victoria.Victoria nodded her head. She couldn’t accept Vic as her sister because of the DNA test result. So, she’s planning to expose this during the party.She stood next to Mikhail and Vic.Victoria looked at the guests and smiled evilly. ‘You are done for,’ she laughed inwardly.She raised her chin and said, “This woman is…!”‘Is not my sister,’ that’s what she has to say. However, Victoria was surprised finding herself unable to say the words.The silence confused the listeners.‘What is this?’ Victoria asked herself.She felt the rush of sad emotions brewing in her heart.“She is…” she whispered, urging herself to talk. But all of a sudden, tears fell from her eyes.Everyone watched as Victoria burst into tears.“Victoria,” Vic called. She held Victoria’s arm and asked, “Are you okay?”Yet, Victoria could only cry. Sabby and Emmanuel approached their children. “Victoria, calm down. I’ll take you inside.”Sabby held
Guests gathered at the Red’s mansion’s garden. All were talking about the eldest daughter of the Red family, who returned after many years.“Whoever she is, she’s so lucky!”“Who won’t be? We’re talking about the Red family who owns billions.”“I wonder if she’s single. I mean, I am willing to be the family’s in-laws,” someone joked.“Your son just got divorce. My son would be the better choice.”Everyone was so excited to meet the eldest daughter of the renowned family in the country. They expected she might be as extravagant as the famous Victoria Red or Mikhail Red.From the window of the mansion, Vic nervously looked at the guests below.“Damn it. I was always composed in the past. Why am I being nervous now?” Vic murmured, caressing her chest.She used to come to parties like that, but because she’s the star of the event, she couldn’t help but be nervous.‘I don’t want to bring bad name to my family,’ she thought as she took a deep breath.“Vic, are you there?”She heard her boyf
Martin looked at the space while inside his office. The other day, he met a brave woman who saved a child from getting hit by his car. Somehow after that encounter, the woman wouldn’t leave his mind.‘Why am I being like this toward a stranger I met for the first time?’ he asked himself.“Was it because of the odd things she said?” he murmured.The woman asked if he was fine now. She even told him he looked great as if she knew him beforehand.“Haa,” Martin sighed.He didn’t want any distractions as he had so much work.“Let’s work, shall we?” he tried to persuade himself.But just as he was determined to get rid of distraction and begin to work, a series of knocks came.Tap. Tap.Followed by the secretary’s announcement, “This is Secretary Louis, Sir.”“Come in,” Martin allowed.Louis, the new secretary, came inside with a small envelope in his hand. He greeted his boss, “Good day, Sir. You received an invitation to a night party this upcoming Sunday.”“A party?” Martin highlighted a
Victoria was furious. A woman suddenly showed up in their house and claimed to be her eldest sister.“Why would my parents buy into this?” Victoria vented to her best friend, Sofia.They were at the party celebrating Victoria’s new movie, which was set to premiere globally.“I mean, she just appeared out of thin air. She doesn’t even look like any of us,” Victoria said, taking a big swig of her drink.Sofia let out a sigh and gave her a reassuring pat on the back. “Well, there’s a way to find out if she’s really your sister.” She leaned in and whispered, “How about a DNA test?”Victoria thought that was a solid plan. She was pretty sure Vic wasn’t her sister, and she was ready to prove it to her family.She went back home that night, knowing that Vic would be back home from Italy.Victoria waited for her.“Miss Victoria. Miss Vic is here,” reported the maid.On her night dress, Victoria went out of the house. But when she stepped out of the door, she saw Vic together with a familiar p
Sabby turned to Vic and said, "We figured out why we couldn't track you down; you ended up in another country."Vic glanced over at Emmanuel, who added, "You lost your memories, and the family that took you in gave you a new name. You spent your childhood in an orphanage, and eventually, you became Martin's bodyguard."In her parents' room, Vic saw them in tears as they recounted the events from years ago.'I can't believe this,' Vic thought to herself.All she wanted was to connect with the people she thought of as family. Instead, she discovered she was actually the long-lost daughter of a billionaire family, meaning she had been part of the Red family all along.Emmanuel sobbed, "I'm really sorry, Rica. Dad swore he’d always keep you safe, but I failed to do that when it mattered most."Sabby squeezed Vic’s hands and said, “We’re truly sorry for all the struggles you faced.” She gently stroked the roughness of her hands and continued, “I can’t even begin to imagine what you went th
Rica is the eldest daughter of the billionaire couple, Sabby and Emmanuel. For them, she was a precious gem.“Mom! Dad! I can see the ocean!” Rica energetically pointed to the ocean that could be seen from the shore.“Isn’t it beautiful, honey?” Sabby asked.“It is! It shines like diamonds!” Rica exclaimed and was soon cradled by the strong arms of her father.“I have no debts left, alright? I took you here and we’re quits,” Emmanuel said.Rica squinted her eyes and said, “We still have more games left, Dad. And if I win again, that means, you need to make my wish come true.”“You sneaky kid,” Emmanuel chuckled before tickling her.“Dad! That tickles!”“Guys, be careful,” Sabby warned and soon, she saw the huge ship approaching the deck. “It’s here! Look!”Emmanuel and Rica stopped playing around and looked at the sailing large boat that blossomed right there on the ocean.“Wow! It’s so huge!” Rica exclaimed. “And we’re going to ride there, aren’t we?”Sabby smiled at her daughter and
In the living room, Vic and Victoria were lounging on opposite couches. Mikhail had stepped out to pick up his parents, leaving the two women to chat.As they sat there, Victoria noticed Vic's intense gaze on her. She shot back, “Stop staring at me like that. It’s kind of creepy.”Vic quickly looked away and replied, “Sorry. It’s just a bit strange having you right in front of me.”Victoria smirked, “Is it because I’m too gorgeous?”Vic chuckled, “I mean, I already knew you were good-looking, but you definitely have some confidence.”Victoria frowned, “I didn’t like that. It feels like a dig at me.”"No, I'm not trying to insult you. Actually, I just realized why it was so easy for Mikhail to uncover my secret. You were really a unique person, Victoria," Vic said."Enough with that. Just be honest with me. What’s your real connection to my brother? He’s not the type to cry easily, but you made him sob like a child. Did you two ever date?""That's a strange thing to say. I never though
While walking in the garden, Victoria heard noisy sounds coming from the gate of the mansion.“What’s the noise about? It’s already hard to rest because of my busy schedule. Geez,” Victoria uttered before walking towards the commotion.Outside the gate, she saw a plain-looking woman who was standing before the guard of the family.“You…!” the guard shouted. "Leave now, or I’ll call the police!"She got curious what happened so she asked, “What’s going on here? It was so loud that I felt like I was in a zoo. What’s going on?”Victoria glanced over at the plain-looking woman and felt a chill run down her spine as she caught the intensity in the woman’s eyes. To her surprise, the lady suddenly looked like she was about to cry.‘What’s up with this woman?’ Victoria wondered. ‘Is she a fan or something?’Confused by the woman’s emotions, Victoria finally asked, “Who are you?”The woman didn’t respond right away. Instead, she managed a weak smile and said, “I heard you’ve lost your memory.”
