Fantasy Romance

I had always been what you would call a slow person. Case in point: When I saw the stern-looking female CEO appearing in the financial news who looked just like my wife, it took me ages to finally realize it was truly her. Immediately after, a stream of comments highlighted in different colors overlaid my vision. [Oh my God! Julian Vance, the shameless supporting male lead, has finally shown up to stir the pot! Imagine dragging a child into this just to scam Ms. Eunice Latour, how disgusting!] [Didn’t he already make away with two million as compensation? Why is he back again? He must be sick in the head if he thinks that he can use his child as a pawn to get ahead in life!] [I can’t wait to see Mr. Carter put him in his place! Let the real male and female protagonists shine!] It took me half a minute before I finally wrapped my head around what they were saying. It seemed I had been in the world of a novel, one where I was cast as an evil supporting male lead whose main goal was to make the male and female protagonists look good. My wife was Eunice Latour, the female protagonist in question. One day, she went out to buy food for the baby, only to never return.

Chapter 1
I reported my wife, Eunice Latour’s disappearance to the police. They spent an entire month searching for her while I had even gone as far as to speak to the freight transport drivers I knew to collect intel because I was starting to suspect Eunice had fallen victim to a human trafficking scheme.After countless turmoil, I finally found out that she had been ambushed by her enemies and ended up suffering a second bout of amnesia. This time, she regained her memories before she met me, remembered she was the CEO of a prestigious tech company, and ran off with the male lead of the story. But she forgot everything about me.I looked at Eve, our child who was only one and a half years old.The child was busy chewing on the drawstring of my hoodie, completely unaware of the mess she had made by drooling all over it.Almost three years ago, I found Eunice unconscious and critically wounded in the alleyway behind a modest bar I ran.After that, I drained my savings amounting to eight hun

I asked in my usual slow, hesitant manner, “Hi, I’m looking for Eunice Latour.”Without even looking up at me, he asked, “Do you have an appointment?”“No, but if you tell her that a Julian Vance is here to see her, she should…”“You can’t see her if you don’t have an appointment.”After cutting me off impatiently, the irritation in his voice became increasingly pronounced. “Ms. Latour is very busy. She doesn’t have time to meet just any common nobody who waltzes in here.”I tried to reason with him, “I have something important to discuss with her. It’s about—”At last, he turned to look at me and informed me crossly, “As I said. No. Appointment. No. Entry.”He was relatively good-looking, if not for the scornful look. He even made a point of raising his voice to attract the attention of the other office workers waiting for the elevator in the lobby.Then, he fixed another look at me and went on cynically, “Look, mister. You look pretty young, and I get that it must be hard to

It was so quiet inside the lobby that you could hear a pin drop.All the executives stopped in their tracks and turned to face me, astonished.Eunice had halted as well.She turned around and set her eyes upon Eve, whom I held in my arms.For the first time, I noticed a sheer bewilderment in her eyes. It was a complete departure from her usual cool and unemotive self.Before anyone could react to what was happening, she turned around and marched toward me in fewer than a handful of wide strides. Then, she collected Eve from my arms in one swift, practiced gesture.Based on her practised ease, one could easily tell it was something she was accustomed to.With one hand firmly supporting Eve from below and the other palming her back, she managed to position Eve perfectly and let the child nestle against her shoulder.All the colour drained from Bruno’s face.Even the comments in the livestream paused for a moment before another barrage followed.[Huh???][Is it just me or… Ms.

I unlocked the tablet and proceeded to open an encrypted folder.It contained the daily vlogs I had filmed over the past three years.All sorts of snippets of life were captured. There was footage of Eunice when I brought her home following her amnesia, of her pulling faces when she was pregnant, of Eve’s birth, and of her learning to help Eve change her diapers.More than seven hundred days of memories had been recorded in a series of montages.I turned the tablet toward Eunice and Bruno before hitting play.It was a video of Eunice in an apron with dinosaur motifs printed on it. She was trying to help Eve change out of her diapers.She was slightly hesitant, but also very cautious with every move she made because she was afraid of hurting Eve.After she managed the task, she affectionately kissed Eve’s soft, tender cheek. Then, her eyes turned crescent when she smiled at the camera and said with delight, “My sweet daughter is so beautiful.”My voice could be heard off-screen.

“That’s enough!” After interrupting Bruno’s unfounded accusations, Eunice turned to me.The entire time, Eve was resting against her shoulder without throwing anything resembling a tantrum. All she did was observe everything around her with stark curiosity.All the commotion did not seem to affect her. Occasionally, she would reach out and touch Eunice’s chin.Then, Eunice would respond by gently caressing her hair and stroking her forehead.Her gestures were incredibly delicate.When she turned toward me, she gulped before asking in a rather raspy voice, “Just now, did you say…“That she is my daughter?”I nodded.“She’s a year and a half old now. Her name is Eve Vance.“You can find your name in her birth certificate, listed as her mother as well. You were still suffering from amnesia at the time and had to use a temporary ID, but the fingerprints are unmistakable.”Eunice trembled faintly upon hearing this.Then, she looked down at the child in her arms whose features l

Eunice didn't look at him, but at Eve, who had moved on to playing with Legos on the carpet.Then, she stated in a stoic manner, “He does not need to forge them.”Bruno was taken aback and tried to clarify, “Ms. Latour?”“I said.” Eunice finally looked up and cast a look at me, then back to Bruno, “That he didn't need to forge them, because the pictures are real.“And for that matter, the IOU is real too.”Bruno turned another shade paler. “H-how can you be so sure of that…”“I don’t.” Eunice cut him off sharply before turning her attention back to Eve with a vague but resolute look in her eyes. “But I just have a feeling they must be.”“A feeling?” Bruno’s voice sharpened. “Ms. Latour, how can you go off your gut feeling? What if…”“There are no ‘what ifs.’”With that, he retreated to the corner and, with trembling fingers, started sending some texts.Time slowly ticked by.An hour later, the pale-faced Bruno suddenly rose from his seat. “There’s a document that needs your

Eunice frowned and asked, “What kind of problem?”“The sample... may have been contaminated.”Klara glanced at me, then at Bruno, who had also stepped inside the room with him. With that, she resumed in a lowered voice, “They reported the seal on the sample bag containing the hair was damaged during transit. They advised us to provide a new sample, but... they wanted you to go in person.”Something suddenly glowed in Bruno’s eyes.He suddenly stepped forward and said, in a voice laced with a fitting amount of concern, “Ms. Latour, this is too much of a coincidence, isn’t it? Why would there be a problem just as the sample was about to arrive at the center?”With that, he turned to me with a cross look in his eyes, “Mr. Vance. Surely, it couldn’t have been you behind this…”“It wasn't me.” I stated slowly as I rose from the couch, “But I have a pretty good idea of ​​who it must have been.”Only twenty minutes ago, a man had snuck into the sample storage room at the testing center

Klara was remarkably efficient.Within ten minutes, she returned with a printed bank statement and a grave look on her face.“Ms. Latour, I have news.”Her voice shook as she handed over the statement. “The two million dollars meant for compensation was withdrawn from the company funds two months ago and went straight into Bruno’s personal account.“The very next day, he had the money split three ways. Eight-hundred thousand went to his parents’ house, seven-hundred thousand went toward paying off his sister’s gambling debts, and then he spent the remainder to… buy this watch.”With that, she produced a velvet box from her pocket and opened it.It contained a matching pair of couple watches. The man’s watch was inlaid with large diamonds while the woman’s was a limited-edition mechanical piece. The price tags were still attached.Euncie frowned, “These are…”“The birthday gift Bruno gave you last month.” Klara answered while lowering her voice, “When you told him it was too exp

The doctor handed the report to Eunice.She took the report and gripped it so tightly that the edges became crumpled.Then, she looked down at Eve, who was still cradled in her arms.Eve looked back at her and reached out to play with a button on her suit jacket while smiling.Eunice smiled while her eyes grew faintly red. She held Eve a little tighter, then turned to me.Her voice was cracked. “I’m sorry. How did you two manage to get by over the last months?”I considered for a moment before assuring her, “It was fine. Business was decent at the bar, so I had enough to take care of her.“It's just... she would cry in the middle of the night sometimes and call out for Mommy. She was inconsolable in those moments.”I noticed the bulb in Eunice’s throat bobbed as she gulped. She fixed a long look at me before vowing in that same scratchy voice, “It won't happen again.“From now on, I'll be around to console her.”The livestream comments were going wild.[Oh God… I’m crying.]

Bruno’s eyes were bloodshot. Somehow, he managed to find a knife he was now brandishing. It glimmered silver under the light.“Julian, you bast*rd!”His monstrous voice resounded as he charged at me.“If I can’t have it, you can’t either!”Everything blurred in one motion.Eunice got up the very moment Bruno burst in.Eve cried out in horror.Bruno was throwing himself at me, thrusting his knife at me.Eunice defended me with her arms raised.Swish!The tip of the knife sliced ​​through her arm.A gush of blood splattered out instantly, dyeing the sleeve of her white shirt crimson red.Even then, she refused to yield. She was still holding Eve in her arms and shielding her protectively.The security guards charged in right then and pinned Bruno down.He was screaming and thrashing around like a madman.“Let me go! I’m going to kill him! It’s all his fault! He ruined everything!”Eunice’s arm was bleeding, but it seemed to be the least of her concern.She turned to me a
