Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 30. "My Woman"
'What was your motive for deceiving me?''What were you trying to achieve by lying?''How did you feel knowing that you made me look foolish?''I suppose you had a good time, didn't you?'Victoria had a multitude of questions for Gray as they sat facing each other at the table. If only they were alone, she would have already asked those questions. However, due to the presence of other people, she couldn't do so. Instead, she resorted to imagining kicking Gray's butt ten times.Thanks to Gray, Victoria seemed to have completely forgotten about Martin, Zoe, and everyone else on the trip. Her attention was solely fixed on Gray, who appeared to be enjoying his meal.Gray took a small bite of shrimp and made a face. He quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin.'Doesn't he like it?' Victoria thought to herself.He then tried another dish, and his expression changed to a smile.'Ah, now he enjoys it,' she realized.Victoria remembered that Gray was a chef, so he had to have high standards when

Hunting is a big part of their outing, which is why the Cadell family decided to buy the island. Once both families had rested, they all got ready for the hunt by putting on their gear and clothes.Victoria changed into her hunting attire and noticed that her mother, father, and even Zoe were getting assistance with their gear."I can do this on my own," Victoria thought to herself. However, she didn't want to draw any attention to herself and risk being suspected of acting out of character for a wealthy heiress."Excuse me, can I have some help too?" Victoria asked, raising her hand.A male employee started to respond, "Yes, Ma'am. I will…" but Martin stepped in and blocked him."I'll take care of it," Martin declared.His statement caught the attention of the onlookers, including Zoe and Gray.Fully equipped, Martin approached Victoria.As they stood face to face, Victoria's heart raced uncontrollably. Despite being accustomed to hiding her emotions from Martin, she looked directly

Holding a gun, Victoria set off to the forest with her partner, Zoe. They were a bit slower than the others due to Zoe's leg condition.Since she couldn't run to the fullest, why did Zoe even participate in this game? With that question in Victoria's head, she suspects Zoe is planning something. Which was why Victoria remained on high alert."Ah. So in this part, we will see many deers to target," Zoe said, pointing a direction on the map she's holding. Her gun was behind her, and it was as if she had no plan to use it.Smiling widely, Zoe looked back at Victoria. Zoe admitted, "I'm not really good at shooting." She then looked down and continued, "Plus, even if the bullet can't actually kill the animals, I feel bad for hurting them even a little bit."Unbeknownst to Zoe, Victoria rolled her eyes in response. Undeterred, Zoe exclaimed, "Alright then! I'll navigate it, and you can handle the shooting. Sound good?"In reality, Zoe lucked out with Victoria as her partner. Out of every

Shoot!Martin fired a harmless bullet at the deer's head, causing it to shake its head and feel a bit dizzy before bounding away."Phew," he sighed, glancing around.It appeared that all the nearby prey had disappeared. "Where did they all go?" he wondered aloud.He was determined to win this game, not just for the meat, but to prove his skills."Does that count as four points?"Martin turned his head and saw Gray strolling casually with his gun. It seemed like he had no interest in scoring any points at all."You're so laid-back, aren't you?" Gray remarked."Speaking of which, why did you even join this game if you don't care about winning?""I don't want to exhaust myself," Gray stated.Martin retorted, "Or maybe you lack any skills."Gray chuckled, turning towards him, "Do you think I cook in the kitchen without bringing my ingredients?""Well, you can simply visit a market. A market and a forest are two completely different things.""Exactly. It's based on my personal experience,"

Zoe was scared.She was convinced that Victoria wouldn't make it. She had been dishonest so many times, yet there was Victoria, alive and well?!Not only was Victoria a skilled fighter, but she also managed to rescue Martin.'I'm done for. Victoria will spill the truth to Martin, and they'll know I've been lying!' Zoe shuddered at the idea, sinking to the ground.However, neither Victoria nor Martin seemed to be thinking about that at the moment.Perhaps Zoe was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't catch what Victoria asked Martin after saving him.[“Are you okay, Sir?”] That’s what Victoria asked, and now, she regretted saying it.Victoria gazed at Martin's trembling pupils as she looked down at him. They were both lying on the ground, with Victoria positioned on top of him. Strangely, she found herself unable to move.‘Why did I say that? Why did my old habit slip out now?’ she scolded herself.Her mistake was addressing Martin as 'Sir.' Wasn't that what she said when she wor

"What am I going to do? What should I do?!"Zoe was in a state of panic, constantly asking herself those questions.She nervously bit her nails while sitting in a wheelchair, pretending that she couldn't walk anymore. In reality, her legs were perfectly fine, but she was putting on an act to avoid suspicion.Her main concern wasn't her legs, though. She needed to figure out a way to ensure that Martin didn't think Victoria was in trouble because of her. How could she protect her lies?Lost in thought, a tall figure suddenly appeared before her. Slowly raising her head, Zoe saw the handsome Gray with a wicked grin on his face. The memory of Gray's coldness when he abandoned her in the forest flooded back.What was it that he had said again?["Why should I stay here and babysit you? I've got better things to do."]Using his heartlessness as a weapon, Zoe began to cry. "Gray, why would you do that?" She sobbed.Gray simply raised an eyebrow, seemingly amused by her emotional outburst."Y

["I was busy doing all the jobs for my boss, and you told me what?!"] Hunter exclaimed over the the other line.Victoria, who was on a phone call, placed her phone on the other side of her ear. She was ready to hear Hunter's nag.["I read your text just now. The chef you met turned out to be Mr. Gray. And you were attacked by wolves. You saved my boss, and you accidentally called him 'Sir.' Wow. I am speechless."]"If you are speechless, then what about me?" Victoria said, sighing. "I wanted to avoid talking to Martin. If he asks me who I am for the second time, I might have no excuse left."["You should make an excuse. Unless you want everyone to call you 'crazy.' Actually, right now, I wanted to go there and break Zoe's legs for real. But I kind of understood why you pretended as her new friend. You wanted to get evidence before she could erase it, right?"]When Zoe accused Victoria in her first past life, the evidence was erased. Zoe committed another crime, and if Victoria acted i

Gray and Martin have consumed a large amount of beer this evening. Surprisingly, neither of them is drunk, and they are both determined to outdo each other.The competition continues despite their flushed faces."We almost forgot about this," Sabby mentioned as she revealed the bottle of wine she and her husband had brought on the outing.When Sabby placed it on the table, Emmanuel started to explain, "This is a new wine we've produced. We're planning to launch it publicly next month."Margaux impressed the couple by asking, "That's great news. What will you name it?"With a smile, Sabby glanced at her daughter, Victoria, who had been sipping on juice all this time. "The wine will be named 'Victoria.'"Victoria glanced at her parents in shock as the unexpected news hit her. Even Martin and Gray paused their silent argument to focus on the mentioned wine."Why did you name it after your daughter?" Margaux inquired.Victoria's twin brother, Mikhail, responded, "Because it's Victoria's r

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.

Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride Epilogue 10. "Welcoming The Billionaire's Daughter"
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.

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.”
