Suddenly, a knock interrupted his concentration."Sir, it's Hunter," his secretary announced."Come in."Hunter entered the room and noticed the fatigue evident in his boss's eyes. Ignoring it, he delivered the news."The press conference is over, and there's a viral video online. It shows Samuel apologizing to Victoria."Martin paused, looking up from his work."I don't need updates on Victoria. She's no longer my concern."Hunter gave a quick nod. "Got it. My apologies.""In that case, please go. I have things to attend to.""Understood, Sir." Hunter turned on his heels. Just before exiting the room, he shot a final glance at his boss. 'You're not fooling anyone with that act,' he mused, then left.After Hunter departed, Martin set the papers down and gazed into the distance.He had tuned
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 71. "The Body Remembers"
After returning Victoria's phone, Hunter informed her that the anonymous number belonged to someone using a burner phone, making it difficult to trace. Shortly after Hunter left, Victoria received another call from an unknown number. When she answered, there was silence on the other end before the call abruptly ended.Now, she's heading back to the Red mansion to meet her twin brother, Mikhail. Standing in front of the grand estate, she took a deep breath. A maid greeted her, "Good evening, Miss Victoria.""Are my parents home?" she inquired."No, they're still out. But your brother is here, waiting for you," the maid replied."Where can I find him?" Victoria asked."He's on the balcony on the second floor."Victoria glanced upwards. It had been days since she last saw Mikhail, and their last conversation didn't go well. So, she couldn't help but feel the anxiousness creeping up even at the tip of her fingers as she made her way up.As she neared the balcony, she noticed the empty hal

"DON'T TOUCH ME AS YOU PLEASE."Her grip tightened on the woman's hand, making her flinch. "Ow!" She quickly pulled away and shot Victoria a questioning look.She thought to herself, 'I may be afraid of them, but that doesn't mean they can control me,' as she tried to appear strong.As a result, Britney and Samantha, the two women, burst into laughter."This is what happens when you don't train your dog properly at the shelter," Samantha said, rubbing her sore wrist.“She knew how to bite back,” Britney added. She leaned closer at Victoria, who’s much taller than her. Despite this, Victoria's expression made her seem superior. "Do you think you're all that just because you're a little famous? Did you enjoy living the life of an actress?"She pondered how to handle these women and decided to play the amnesia card."I'm sorry. I can't seem to recall any of you," Victoria replied.Samantha chimed in, "That's a shame! We were so close back in college. You used to do whatever we said. You

“You told me that you’ll help me persuade Victoria. What the hell are you doing, huh?” Margaux Cadell asked Zoe.They were inside the old woman’s car parked at the street side. “I am sorry, Madam,” Zoe replied. "I've been trying to reach Victoria. But she's not picking up her phone or responding to my texts. She's probably busy with her acting career."Margaux muttered, "Then why did I bother meeting you? If you can't help me, you might as well leave the country."Zoe nervously smiled and said, "I'll do everything I can to get in touch with Victoria, Madam."“You should. I won’t allow Gray to marry with the Red family. Do anything to persuade Victoria to marry my grandson. Do you understand?”“Yes, Madam.”"Alright, you can go now. Keep me updated.""Got it." Zoe got out of the car. She was just about to close the door when..."Oh, and one more thing," Margaux said."Yes?"Margaux looked at Zoe's legs and smirked. "Looks like your legs are improving."Zoe glanced down at her legs ner

Victoria was seated in the interrogation room once again. She had been through this before. She remembered the last time she was here, being questioned about the incident with Zoe. This time, she wasn't afraid at all.The investigator called her name, "Miss Victoria Red."She raised her head and met the gaze of the person who had brought her in."You had a troubled history with Samuel, and you were the last person he spoke to before he died. Can you tell us about your last conversation with him? What did he say to you?"Victoria paused for a moment before responding."I honestly didn't know it was Samuel. His number wasn't saved in my phone. When I picked up, there was silence, so I assumed it was a prank call. I didn't think much of it," she explained.The man continued to question her, his gaze unwavering.Victoria felt the weight of suspicion on her shoulders.'First, it was attempted murder. Now, it's a real murder,' she thought to herself."I do have an alibi," Victoria stated fi
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 75. "Still Alive"
Victoria visited all the places that Vic loved to go to. She even started talking and acting like Vic sometimes. Gray and Vic both grew up in the same orphanage, and during Gray's speech, he mentioned that he and Victoria knew each other since they were kids. He even slipped up and called her 'Vic' once.All of this got Martin thinking that maybe Victoria is actually Vic, but that doesn't make any sense. How could a deceased person turn into someone else?However, his secretary's recent behavior was only adding more suspicion to his thoughts.

Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 76. "Short Time"
Victoria paced around her room, phone in hand, waiting for Gray to arrive. An hour passed, and still no sign of him."Should I go wait for him by the gate?" she wondered.Deciding to meet him halfway, Victoria left her room. As she made her way, she noticed the guards leaving their posts.'They're not supposed to leave,' she thought, hiding behind a tree to eavesdrop."It's our duty, but I feel bad for Miss Victoria," one guard said.The other guard added, "I know. Victoria's parents were fine with Gray, but Sir Mikhail is taking it too far by not letting him in to see his sister."Finally, Victoria understood why she heard nothing from Gray.'Mikhail prevents him from meeting me,' she realized.Once the guards were gone, Victoria stealthily made her way to the gate. From there, she spotted Mikhail and Gray in each other's company.Moving silently, she positioned herself close enough to eavesdrop on their discussion."I already told you she's not my sister. I'm only doing this for my

"I swear to get my revenge on Victoria!""I bought my coat in Paris. But I have to throw it away because of her! Damn it!"Samantha and Britney both raised their beers. They are inside the bar, cozily sitting on the second floor amidst the loud music.They couldn't get over the fact that they were humiliated by Victoria inside the mall!"Can't we just upload the video?" Samantha asked.Britney answered, "Are you crazy? Our lawyer said we have a low chance of winning. They are people who witnessed us. If we cut the video, it will be easy for Victoria to claim that we did it.""F*ck. How can we take our revenge?" Samantha wondered."Hey. Remember that thing from the past that made Victoria do whatever we wanted?""You mean the secret we have on her?""Yeah. Let's use it again. We'll threaten to spill the beans to her parents.""But Victoria seems different now. She doesn't look scared of us anymore. And we have to be careful.
