A female bodyguard tragically lost her life while bravely saving her employer's daughter from drowning. It was truly a heartbreaking incident."I heard she was one of Mr. Caws' top bodyguards. It's such a shame she died so young," said one of the embalmers getting ready to prepare her body."Yeah, life can be so unpredictable. We never know who will be around tomorrow. Let’s get back to work; Mr. Caws is waiting for us to finish this up."With that, the two embalmers started the embalming process, making an incision on the right side of the lower neck to drain the remaining blood from the body.As the knife got closer to the skin, one of the guys noticed something strange—a little twitch from the corpse's hand.“Wait a second!”The shout made the other guy stop before he could make the cut.“What’s up?”“I swear I just saw her hand move!”“Are you serious? She’s been dead for seven hours. That can’t be right.”“I’m telling you, I saw it!”He let out a frustrated sigh and checked for a
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.“Ah, I see why it’s tough to let go,” she laughed softly, feeling a warm glow knowing so many cared about her. “I wonder which one Gray brought for me.”Whispering to herself, she couldn't shake the worry about how Gray was coping since her sudden disappearance.“I really hope you’re doing okay,” she said. “But honestly, I also kind of hope you’re still feeling sad.”Two conflicting thoughts that meant the same thing. She wa
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. He assured me everyt
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. Instead, she managed a weak smile and said, “I heard you’ve lost your memory.”
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
Rica is the eldest daughter of the billionaire couple, Sabby and Emmanuel. For them, she was a precious gem.“Mom! Dad! 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! It’s so huge!” Rica exclaimed. “And we’re going to ride there, aren’t we?”Sabby smiled at her daughter and
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. Instead, she discovered she was actually the long-lost daughter of a billionaire family, meaning she had been part of the Red family all along.Emmanuel sobbed, "I'm really sorry, Rica. 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
Victoria was furious. 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. She was pretty sure Vic wasn’t her sister, and she was ready to prove it to her family.She went back home that night, knowing that Vic would be back home from Italy.Victoria waited for her.“Miss Victoria. Miss Vic is here,” reported the maid.On her night dress, Victoria went out of the house. But when she stepped out of the door, she saw Vic together with a familiar p
