Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 41. "Unknown History"
Gray headed to the grocery store to pick up some ingredients. He and Victoria had plans to catch up this weekend to discuss their agreement. However, Gray was more eager to hang out with her than to focus on the deal."I forgot to check if she has any allergies," Gray muttered as he examined a ripe tomato. "Maybe I should ask her about it?"As he strolled through the aisles, Gray absentmindedly scrolled through his phone. Unfortunately, he accidentally bumped his cart into someone else's."Oops, my bad!" the other shopper quickly apologized.Gray glanced ahead and uttered, "No worries. It's actually my fault for not paying attention. I'm so..." His words trailed off as he realized who was standing in front of him. "Miss Nadia?"Nadia squinted her eyes at the attractive man before her. "Gee?"As they recognized each other, they decided to head to a nearby coffee shop after finishing their grocery shopping."It's been ages, hasn't it?" Nadia remarked with a smile.Gray, who Nadia knew a

"Do you happen to remember a girl named Vic?""Of course. She was my first love."The fork slipped from Victoria's grasp, creating a loud clinking noise as it landed on the plate.As she gazed at Gray's attractive face, she couldn't help but question if she had heard him correctly.It had been years since their initial encounter, and Victoria couldn't recall all the interactions she had shared with Gray. But how did a handsome man like him fall for a girl like her?'I've always had a plain face. I was taller than my peers, and many thought I had a boyish vibe. Even when I worked as a bodyguard, my colleagues never saw me as a woman. How did I become Gray's first love?'It remained a mystery to her. She understood the concept of love, but she had never experienced someone having a crush on her until Gray expressed that she was his first love.It gave her awkward and awesome feelings at the same time."So, how did you know what I looked like before?" Gray asked, interrupting Victoria's

Zoe was getting increasingly anxious as she paced back and forth in her room, clutching her phone."Why hasn't he responded yet? I already sent the money!" she exclaimed.She was eagerly waiting for Alex's reply, as they had planned to expose Victoria's affair with the video he had filmed.But there was still no news about Victoria, and Alex hadn't given his response."This was supposed to be my way of getting back at that woman," Zoe muttered under her breath.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she received a message from Alex's number. With excitement, she quickly opened the message and started reading its contents.["I'm really sorry, Miss Zoe. Unfortunately, I won't be able to continue working with you. I've been feeling really guilty ever since Sir Martin had that accident. But don't worry, I'll still keep my promise and won't reveal anything. Just know that you won't find me in the Cabin anymore because I've decided to quit my job."]Zoe was boiling with rage. Her hands

When Victoria arrived home, her parents immediately approached her in a rush."Where were you?!" her father, Emmanuel, asked. "Things got crazy because of the scandal. And you just disappeared out of nowhere?"Sabby, her mother, added, "What's this scandal all about? And now there are videos of you helping children at the orphanage.""Please tell me the affair isn't true. The man in the video is Martin, not Mr. Gray. Confirm that for me," Emmanuel demanded.Where should Victoria even begin to explain? She knew her parents wouldn't be happy if she admitted that the man in the video was actually Gray, not her fiancé. Plus, the sudden appearance of her helping at the orphanage was unexpected."Actually," Victoria started, but before she could finish her sentence, someone interrupted her, cutting her off mid-thought."What's the matter with the news?" Victoria's twin brother, Mikhail, chimed in, his tone nonchalant as he glanced at their parents. "Sure, my sister may have lost her memorie

Mikhail absorbed every detail. From the moment Vic was accused of attempted murder to the day she passed away and woke up in his twin sister's body.The whole situation felt like a bizarre dream. But as he observed the drastic changes in his sister, it all started to make sense."That's what happened," Victoria said, breaking the silence.Mikhail stared at her, his mind racing. He was at a loss for words, unsure of how to react or what to say.Seconds ticked by, and Mikhail's gaze shifted to his twin sister's face. It was hard to believe that a complete stranger now inhabited her body.'And what about my sister?' he pondered silently. 'If this bodyguard took over her, then what happened to her?'Maybe being intelligent has its downsides. Because when Mikhail pondered that question, he entertained the possibility that his sister had already passed away!His heart ached, and his breathing became heavy. He rose to his feet and grabbed Victoria by the collar.His gaze was intense, but Vic

Years ago…"To be the best bodyguard, you should know how to disguise yourself in public!" the trainer said.With hands behind her back, Vic answered, "Yes, Sir!""Mastering the art of adapting to different scenarios is crucial," the trainer continued.Victoria dedicated herself to honing her skills in disguise training, often partnering with her fellow guards during practice."I just need to immerse myself in the role," Victoria thought to herself as she faced the judges.Mr. Harry, who had always been critical of her, challenged her, "Show us what you've got."Melvin, the third judge, inquired, "Who are you interested in auditioning for?"Hailey elaborated, "The film 'No Country for Weak Women' revolves around women striving to become strong in the face of societal injustices. We already selected the female lead yesterday. Nevertheless, you can still give it a shot."Victoria cast her gaze downwards, contemplating the script she had perused the previous night.'The female lead is a

Victoria seethed with anger. She couldn't believe her hand was burned just from trying to make a simple cup of coffee, only to get harassed from Sofia."But I had no idea about the history between that woman and Victoria," she exclaimed.Looking around the E&T entertainment building, she felt lost."I only wanted to escape from that woman, but now I'm completely disoriented."She needed to tend to her burnt hand urgently, but there was no staff in sight to assist her.Then, she noticed a map of the building near a door.She approached it, getting closer and closer, examining the impressive structure of the large building. However, as she was engrossed in her study, she suddenly heard a voice that sounded incredibly familiar coming from inside the slightly ajar door."This voice sounds so familiar," she whispered to herself.Driven by curiosity, which was an inherent part of her nature, Victoria decided to open the door. To her surprise, there was a film being shot inside the room. And

After going to the hospital and receiving treatment for her burn, Victoria decided to book a hotel room."I can't let Victoria's family see me like this," she thought, staring at the bandage on her hand. "I've had my fair share of injuries since becoming Victoria."In the past, she was used to this. But now that she had a new goal of becoming an actress, she had to take better care of herself."Plus, I promised Mikhail that I would look after myself. I can't show up with a bandaged hand in front of him," she muttered.Looking out the window of her hotel room, she got an email from the production team saying that filming for the movie would start the next day."And tomorrow is also the day I have to visit Gray's house."Recalling her appointment, she recalled Gray's words before leaving her in the dressing room.["I'll send you the address to my place. Come over and have the meal I'll prepare for you. Maybe we'll find the answers you're searching for."]Victoria felt the heat on her bo

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.”
