[“We have to meet, Hunter.”]Hunter quickly glanced at Victoria's message on his phone. He was eager to see her, but...“You seem preoccupied, Hunter,” Martin observed, noticing his secretary's distraction with his phone.Hunter hastily pocketed his phone and faced his boss. “Oh, no, I'm not.”“You've seemed quite busy lately,” Martin remarked, flipping through some papers.“I've just been handling the fallout from the scandal, Sir.”“I understand. Please reschedule my appointment for later. I'm not feeling well and need to rest,” Martin stated.‘If that’s the case, then I can go,’ Hunter thought to himself.“This is noted, Sir,” he responded.“You can go now.”Hunter exited the office. As he shut the door, Martin glanced in his direction.Without Martin around, Hunter seized the chance to finally meet Victoria. He quickly messaged her the meeting spot and then drove away from Martin's place.From the window, Martin observed Hunter's car driving off. He grabbed his phone and placed a

"I am sorry, Sir. I lost Secretary Hunter," a report came from the other line.Martin closed his eyes briefly before reopening them and bringing the phone back to his ear. "What happened?""He sped up out of nowhere, almost like he knew I was tailing him. Then, he darted across the street right before the light changed."'He's not someone to drive recklessly,' Martin thought.In the depth of his mind, he recalled someone who could drive like that. There was a day before when he was going to be late for his meeting. His bodyguard, Vic, proposed that day to drive.'I reached my destination in time. But after that, I told her not to drive for me again,' Martin chuckled at that thought."Sir?" the man who overheard Martin asked.He faked a cough and replied, "Nothing. Just do a better job next time." Then he hung up the call.Martin slouched in his chair."It was already difficult for me to accept that Victoria is Vic," he murmured.His mind told him he was mistaken. But his heart disagre
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 82. "Until My Anger Subsides"
Seeing how Victoria ran towards Martin instead of staying by Gray's side is more painful than the burn on his arms.'She worked for him as a guard for many years. Of course, the habit of protecting Martin is understandable. But…' Gray tried to make sense of everything.But he was really hurt. He wished Victoria would totally forget any feelings she had with Martin in the past. After all, Gray is the man she chooses to love. "We need to get to the hospital!" Victoria exclaimed, examining Gray's wound. She turned to the crew and yelled, "Hurry, call an ambulance!"Gray winced in pain, unable to do anything but watch the panic on his girlfriend's face. It was the same look she had when she threw herself to protect Martin from the explosion. Gray despised it.An ambulance was called, and Gray was taken to the hospital. While he was being treated, Martin and Victoria waited outside the emergency room with the rest of the crew."Are you two really okay?" the producer asked as he approached
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 83. "Lunch Together"
Just like Victoria’s request, Hunter observed Zoe’s bodyguard, Ian.In the mansion, Ian is a bright person who is loved by many people. He always smiles, and he helps people in need.But that fact that he changed his name and once went into prison are enough for Hunter not to be fooled by his outer characteristic.He carefully watched Ian’s very move. Until one day, Ian behaved differently than usual.It started with one text.While Hunter was observing him, he saw him checking a message on his phone. After seeing the message, he caught the sinister grin on his lips. Something that he had never shown to other people.‘There’s something creepy in this guy,’ Hunter thought.Ian drove in the middle of the night. Wondering where he would go, Hunter followed. They arrived in alleyways that were shielded with homes that were one handshake door to door.Dumpsters were tucked away in alleys, with free fish to the passing cats.Hunter sealed up his nostrils as the smell would want him to conju
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 84. "Vomiting Blood"
Zoe observed the chaos as Victoria coughed up blood, and she knew that Margaux was the one who had served the food.As everyone else panicked, Zoe took a step back and thought to herself, "This is exactly what I wanted."With Victoria out of the way, Zoe felt that she was no longer a threat to her and Martin's relationship, and she knew that Margaux was to blame.As the commotion filled the mansion, Zoe looked around and thought, "I don't know who you are or if you're watching me, but you did a good job."She felt grateful to the person who had made her wish come true.But wait. She knew she had more things to do. Zoe looked at Margaux, who was shouting at the top of her lungs while carrying the bloody Victoria in her arms."Call an ambulance! Quick!" Margaux said.Zoe thought, 'This old woman knew my secret. I couldn't let her tell it to Martin.'So, she picked up her phone and sent a message to her stalker.["Madam Margaux knew my secret. I can't let Martin know."]She waited for th
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 85. "Accusation"
Why was Victoria alive?Zoe asked herself that question repeatedly.The stalker made sure to tell Zoe that he would get rid of Victoria for sure. So, he should have used a strong poison to kill her.However, the doctor came out and informed everyone that she was alive!"Let's go and see her now," Martin said to everyone. He patted Zoe's back as if telling her that she could clear her name because Victoria had regained consciousness.But Zoe has doubts.'Before Victoria lost consciousness, I recalled the moment when she grinned at me. What was that?'"What are you doing?" Gray whispered from behind. "Hurry up and walk."As everyone's attention was on Zoe, she reluctantly made her way to the room where Victoria was being held. She nervously fiddled with the phone in her pocket, hoping for a response from the stalker.Upon entering the room, they found Victoria sitting on the bed. She appeared to be okay, although her face was noticeably pale."My daughter!" Sabby went to her bed and hug
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 86. "Taste Her Own Medicine"
The day before the incident…"Ian bought a poison from the illegal market in the downtown. It is more like a drug that is used for animals in veterinary. It was used for Euthanasia or for easing an animal's pain and suffering before dying," Hunter told Victoria. "Zoe has no pet," Victoria added."Of course. But you will have lunch with Zoe this Saturday. I can see the plan. It is either she'll kill you with it or frame you for that." After saying this, Hunter placed a medicine on the table. "I bought this from a seller. It's an antidote for poison. Keep it with you, just in case. And avoid eating anything until then."Victoria shook her head. "No," she disagreed. "If what you're saying is true, then this is a chance to kill two birds with one stone." She glanced at Hunter and declared, "I'll take the poison.""Vic!" Hunter stood up, alarmed. "Do you realize what you're saying? You're putting your life in danger!"Victoria maintained her composure, but her heart was pounding in her c
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 87. "Not Innocent"
Martin was seething with anger upon seeing Hunter for the first time that day."Where have you been? Do you have any idea what happened in my house?!" Martin demanded."Sir, we have identified the individual responsible for the poisoning," Hunter informed."Really? Who was it?""It was Zoe's bodyguard, Ian Schober. He was also Zoe's stalker."Martin's eyes widened. He couldn't fathom that the culprit was someone so close and that he had trusted that person to protect Zoe.Martin, feeling guilty for Zoe, asked, "Did you catch him?""I'm sorry, but we didn't," Hunter replied."Try your best to catch him and cooperate with the police. I'll go back to rescue Zoe and prove her innocence," Martin insisted.Hunter frowned and said, "But, Sir, Zoe is not innocent at all."Confused, Martin turned around and shook his head. "What do you mean?""This is Ian's phone that I managed to grab from him while he was busy tampering with the food," Hunter revealed the phone in his hand. "I want you to ta
