LOGINThe long-awaited day had finally arrived. Hans and Aria's wedding. Guests had begun filling the seats. The outdoor wedding looked luxurious and elegant. White dominated the venue.At the head of the altar, Hans looked dashing in his black toxedo. His smile never faded, but his nervousness was unavoidable. Hans had to take a few deep breaths to calm his racing heart. Chatting with friends also helped distract him a little.Like Hans, Aria, who looked stunning in her luxurious yet elegant gown, was also feeling incredibly nervous. This might be Aria's second marriage, but that didn't help her anxiety. Perhaps her previous arranged marriage had kept her from thinking too much about it, but this time, she was marrying the person she loved.Nervousness, anxiety, and happiness all mixed together.Aria clutched the bouquet tightly in her hands. She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again. The woman smiled sweetly when she saw Elena approaching her.'Are you nervous?' It wasn't
Everything began to improve after the horrific events of that night. Viona was shot dead by the police because she was deemed a threat to Aria's safety. The police had planned that night. They knew Viona would return. But the shooting was completely unplanned. They didn't expect Viona to have a weapon. And the only way to prevent Aria from further harm was to apprehend Viona. By shooting her dead.To this day, Hans still can't believe Viona is gone. Not to mention that she died in such a tragic way. He still vividly remembers Viona's final confession of her love. He always thought she was just joking about her feelings. How deeply she loved him.But what could Hans do? He only loved Aria and would never love another woman again. Even if it meant hurting the woman who was so precious to him, just like Viona had. He could only hope that no other woman would suffer the same fate as Viona. How love blinded her to the point of committing heinous acts that could harm others.Every action ha
CRASH!!! The bedroom door swung open abruptly, making Viona flinch. "Don't do that, Viona!" "Hans..." Viona muttered softly as she saw the man appear, followed by dozens of police officers who now surrounded her tightly. "Drop your weapons!" one of the officers commanded in a stern voice. Viona's body began to tremble violently. How could she not, with dozens of gun barrels now pointed directly at her. Viona swallowed hard. "You're the ones who have to put your weapons down! If you don't, this woman will die!" Viona snapped back, then returned the muzzle of her gun firmly to Aria's chest. "Viona!" Hans screamed hysterically, terrified by the sight. "Why? Are you so afraid of losing the woman you love so much, Hans?" Viona's tone was now filled with hurtful mockery. "Viona, please don't do this. The Viona I know wouldn't do something like this," Hans pleaded hoarsely. He couldn't hold back his tears any longer. He slowly bent his knees and knelt down right in front of Viona. S
That night, the hospital felt a chill. The atmosphere grew quieter as midnight approached. Most of the patients' families had gone home, and those staying overnight were asleep. "Are you hungry?" asked one of the police officers to his colleague who was on duty with him in front of Aria's ward. "Hungry. But the replacement officer hasn't arrived yet," replied the other, rubbing his goosebumps on his arm. Despite his jacket, the night chill still penetrated his skin. "That's right. I don't know where they are, and it's almost time for their shift," his colleague replied irritably. The two continued their conversation, wondering what they would eat when they got home. About ten minutes later, two men in leather jackets walked up to them. "There they are!" exclaimed one of the guards, looking relieved. "Sorry we're a little late," said one of them, bowing slightly in apologetic manner. "Where have you been?" asked the officer on duty, slightly annoyed. "We bought dinner b
The police continued to hunt for Viona, but three days after the horrific incident, the kidnapper of Aria and Elena had not been found. No one knew where he had fled or hidden, and his trail seemed to have vanished without a trace.Some clues and evidence were found, but they were of little help.Aria and Hans's families finally learned the whole truth. Shila and Thomas were the most disappointed and saddened—they had always considered Viona like their own daughter. Initially, it was impossible for them to believe Viona was capable of such a cruel act. But when the police showed them the recording Elena had handed over, their knees suddenly gave way. There was no longer any reason to deny the harsh reality.Shila fainted, unable to accept the fact: the person she loved like her own daughter had now become a fugitive."Sob... this is all my fault... I failed to raise Viona," Shila sobbed hoarsely. Since her mother's death, Viona had spent more time with Thomas's family when her father
"Aaarrgghhh! Damn it!" Viona threw everything within reach. Her anger peaked when her face was clearly displayed on the television screen. Now her name was being used as a fugitive. Yet she had tried her best to cover up all traces of her crime. Her plan had been meticulously and thoroughly laid out—from renting a car in the name of one of her men, to taking Aria deep into the forest so no one would witness it. But it all ended in vain. The whole world now knew who she really was. What was even more painful was that she had just received the news: Aria and Elena were safe. "DAMN IT!!!" Viona raged like someone possessed. Screaming, cursing, and finally, she collapsed to the cold floor, crying uncontrollably. "No... this isn't fair! Why should they be safe? And I'm being treated like a criminal? No! This is completely unfair!" she cried, at a loss for words. She had never imagined being trapped in a position like this. Since Aria entered Hans's life, not a day went by without jea
