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

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

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

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

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

Victoria slid the recorder to the table.“What is this?” the prosecutor asked.“When I went to eat lunch with Zoe and Mrs. Cadell, I didn’t feel safe. So, I decided to record everything just in case. But I learned something that the authority should know.”Curious, the prosecutor began to play the recorder. His eyes widened when he heard Zoe and Margaux talking about the case that happened months ago regarding Vic Harrow.[“It’s been years. But I will never forget what I saw that night. I was never fond of you. And I didn’t like that you were sticking closely to my grandson. That’s why I planted cameras in your room. And did you know what I saw in the video? You stabbed yourself, Zoe. The bodyguard was innocent. But you were scared of her because she’s always with my grandson. So, you get rid of her.”]After Martin’s grandmother was taken by the authorities, Martin faced the prosecutor to hear the evidence submitted to them.He was so surprised that he couldn’t speak.Martin only star

Martin took care of Zoe for many years. Because she's his friend, and he's guilty of injuring her leg when they were young.However, all emotions and empathy were forgotten at the moment Martin found out the truth."Zoe," Martin called her name in the most bitter way possible.Of course, Zoe wasn't dense enough to notice that. She began trembling at Martin's sight and at the fear that his large hands would strangle her neck.So, she acted like a weak lamb. Just like what she always did in the past."M-Martin. I am so scared. Everyone is accusing me of things I didn't do. I swear I was framed. Ahh! My legs hurt so much." She winced and held her leg.With teary eyes, she looked at Martin and begged."Please. You are the only one who can help me. We've been friends for too long. Don't tell me that you believe them."Martin took the seat across from Zoe. All of a sudden, a laugh burst out of his mouth.Zoe tilted her head, confused."I went to the hospital where you had your leg checked.

Ian changed his name after moving to another country. He was sent to prison because he was stalking Victoria Red during her college days. Victoria was the reason why Ian spent years in prison, and maybe that’s the reason why he took his revenge on you,” Hunter told Victoria.She nodded her head. “Although we have no evidence to prove that Ian was behind the accident in the past, it is best to conclude it.”“But do you really think that Ian is dead?”“No. I doubt it.

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 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

"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.
