Vic was bursting with excitement as she made her way back to her home country. The wait to see Gray again was almost unbearable, and she couldn't wait to share the news that she had been given a second chance at life.

But first, she knew she had to make a stop.

With a bouquet of flowers in hand, she headed to her grave. When she arrived, she was taken aback by the sight of so many flowers.

“Wow,” she whispered, counting the arrangements surrounding her resting place.

There were both dried and fresh blooms, a clear sign that people often came to pay their respects.

    Vic glanced over at Hunter, who was behind the wheel.She was itching to ask him what he meant when he said he’d take her to where she truly belongs.‘Is it because the Red family considers me part of their real family?’ she pondered.Vic tried to convince herself that Hunter was just saying that because she had formed a connection with the family that took her in.“Can’t you just tell me what you know?” Vic pressed her childhood friend.But Hunter shook his head, “No. I wish I could share everything with you right now, but I have to honor what needs to be honored. I know I can’t just spill everything to you.”His answer left Vic wondering, ‘Did something happen while I was gone?’She couldn’t do anything but only wait.But just a short distance from the Red mansion, an incident occurred.“Damn it!” Hunter exclaimed as his car unexpectedly came to a halt.“Is it broken?” Vic inquired.With a heavy sigh, he replied, “I had this checked by a mechanic just last week.

    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.

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

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!
