Callum finally broke the silence, his voice an angry whisper as he said, "I saw you standing there, outside the burning building, in our past life, Hope."I instantly felt my heart skip a beat.Callum continued, "You didn't perish instantly in the fire. You ran out, engulfed in flames, like a human torch. Your eyes found mine, and you were saying something. I couldn't hear what you were saying, but I could read your lips. You said, 'I despise you, Callum.' You immediately went down after that."I couldn't stop my eyes from getting misty. It turned out he had witnessed it all—he had known the whole time."I had nightmares every night from that day onward, dreaming of you walking toward me while engulfed in flames. I was so terrified back then, Hope. "Thus, when I discovered that I had also been reborn, I promised myself I wouldn't lose you again. I knew Kai was going to target you, so I took the deployment plans to exchange them for you. "I wanted to bring you to a place where n

Callum reeled as if thunderstruck, his face draining of all color. "H-How could that be? Hope is only a bomb disposal expert…"Kai erupted in mocking laughter. "You think she's merely a bomb disposal expert, huh? You were married to her for 5 years, yet you've never discovered her true identity! How pathetic of you, Mr. Johnson! "You ought to know that your ex-wife not only knows how to defuse a bomb, but she also knows how to kill. You see, she took out every man you sent after her without breaking a sweat!" He pressed the muzzle of his gun harder against my temple. "You, on the other hand, actually betrayed your country and came here to me to seek death for the sake of this woman. You're probably the most foolish man on earth, Mr. Johnson."Callum immediately broke down. He met my gaze, his expression a mix of deep contrition, suffering, and utter despair. "I-I'm so sorry, Hope. I—"I met his gaze with icy indifference, offering no reply. His apologies were useless at this poi

I was acutely aware of Kai's elevated body temperature and the hostile intent from the crowd. I maintained a neutral expression and replied flatly, "I just got lucky."Kai's hand clamped around my jaw, forcing my gaze upward. "You just got lucky, huh? I don't believe in luck. I only believe in capability!"He ran his fingers slowly across my lips, his expression darkening with intent. "You'll be mine from now on. You'll be compensated accordingly if you do your job well."A commotion broke out outside the villa, and a subordinate came running in after, nearly tripping over himself. "There's an issue, Mr. Santiago! There's a man outside—he's demanding to see you!" Kai furrowed his brow and asked, "Who is it?""H-He says he's Callum Johnson. He claims to be a 'friend' of yours from Calidore."I immediately felt my heart drop. I was baffled as to why Callum had appeared here.Kai paused, momentarily taken aback, before gesturing for Callum to be brought in. "Go bring him in."It

I closed the document and said, "I'm going to need a brand-new identity."Tyler stated, "I've already prepared it for you. You're "Mandy Steele" from now on—a lone orphan surviving in Aureotrigon. You'll be recruited by one of Kai's subordinates who was impressed by your combat ability. You need to work your way up to Kai once you're in and secure the specifics of the trade."He then looked at me and said, "It's going to be a very dangerous mission, with almost no chance of survival. Is this something you really want to do, Hope?"I gazed out the window at the scenery rushing past as I recalled how I had no choice in my past life. I still don't have a choice in this life, but there was a difference—the choice was mine to make for my own sake. "Yes, Tyler."…It was three months later, and the rainforest in Aureotrigon was thick with humid air and the stench of insects and rotting vegetation.I was clad in a camouflage vest, with several hideous scars I had carved myself on my a

Those online users continued their fervent discussions."I have the latest news! Ms. Linwood has filed for divorce and is taking Callum for everything he's worth!""Great job!"I scrolled through the comments and noticed the public rallying behind me, though I didn't feel much of anything. After all, I was only getting what was rightfully mine.…It was a beautiful sunny day when I left the hospital. I had just completed the discharge procedure when I ran into an unexpected person—Dakota Frost, Callum's mother.Dakota, draped in designer clothes and oversized jewels, blocked my way with an arrogant expression. She scrutinized me from head to toe with pure disdain before retorting, "You've got a lot of nerve, Hope. How dare you divorce my son and ask him for every cent! You're hardly qualified, Hope!" I couldn't be bothered with her nonsense, so I tried to sidestep her and leave.Dakota, however, grabbed my arm and yelled, "You don't just walk away from the Johnson family, Hop

I dodged her charge, watching as she tumbled onto the ground in a heap. "You'd better watch what you say, Ms. Gibson."I held up George's phone and played the recording of her call with George out loud. "...You can't even handle a mere woman after I spent all that money to plant you there as an insider!"In that instant, Shirley's wails came to a sudden halt, her face turning deathly pale. Callum, on the other hand, stared at me in utter shock, his lips trembling in silence.Tyler emerged from the crowd, looking furious. He ignored the two traitors and walked right up to me, saying, "You've done well, Hope. If you hadn't stepped in, we'd be facing a catastrophe right now."I stood at attention and saluted. "I'm simply fulfilling my duty."Tyler nodded in acknowledgment before turning to Callum. He then stated coldly, "As the overall commander for this mission, you disregarded regulations and engaged in cronyism, almost resulting in a catastrophe. You're suspended effective immed
