Vic, the loyal female bodyguard, harbored two hidden truths. Firstly, she carried an unrequited love for her employer, Martin Cadell - the Chairman of Crimson Corporation. Secondly, she battled a terminal illness, knowing her time was limited. Wrongly accused of a crime, Vic took her secrets to the grave. But fate had other plans as she awoke in the body of Victoria Red - a comatose heiress set to wed her former boss, Martin Cadell. From protector to betrothed, can Vic maintain her facade from Martin, who had just discovered his feelings for his departed guard? Or is it time for her to embrace a new beginning and pursue genuine love?

"Where did they all go?" he wondered aloud.He was determined to win this game, not just for the meat, but to prove his skills."Does that count as four points?"Martin turned his head and saw Gray strolling casually with his gun. It seemed like he had no interest in scoring any points at all."You're so laid-back, aren't you?" Gray remarked."Speaking of which, why did you even join this game if you don't care about winning?""I don't want to exhaust myself," Gray stated.Martin retorted, "Or maybe you lack any skills."Gray chuckled, turning towards him, "Do you think I cook in the kitchen without bringing my ingredients?""Well, you can simply visit a market. A market and a forest are two completely different things.""Exactly. It's based on my personal experience,"
Holding a gun, Victoria set off to the forest with her partner, Zoe. They were a bit slower than the others due to Zoe's leg condition.Since she couldn't run to the fullest, why did Zoe even participate in this game? With that question in Victoria's head, she suspects Zoe is planning something. Which was why Victoria remained on high alert."Ah. So in this part, we will see many deers to target," Zoe said, pointing a direction on the map she's holding. Her gun was behind her, and it was as if she had no plan to use it.Smiling widely, Zoe looked back at Victoria. Zoe admitted, "I'm not really good at shooting." She then looked down and continued, "Plus, even if the bullet can't actually kill the animals, I feel bad for hurting them even a little bit."Unbeknownst to Zoe, Victoria rolled her eyes in response. Undeterred, Zoe exclaimed, "Alright then! I'll navigate it, and you can handle the shooting. Sound good?"In reality, Zoe lucked out with Victoria as her partner. Out of every
Hunting is a big part of their outing, which is why the Cadell family decided to buy the island. Once both families had rested, they all got ready for the hunt by putting on their gear and clothes.Victoria changed into her hunting attire and noticed that her mother, father, and even Zoe were getting assistance with their gear."I can do this on my own," Victoria thought to herself. However, she didn't want to draw any attention to herself and risk being suspected of acting out of character for a wealthy heiress."Excuse me, can I have some help too?" Victoria asked, raising her hand.A male employee started to respond, "Yes, Ma'am. I will…" but Martin stepped in and blocked him."I'll take care of it," Martin declared.His statement caught the attention of the onlookers, including Zoe and Gray.Fully equipped, Martin approached Victoria.As they stood face to face, Victoria's heart raced uncontrollably. Despite being accustomed to hiding her emotions from Martin, she looked directly
'What was your motive for deceiving me?''What were you trying to achieve by lying?''How did you feel knowing that you made me look foolish?''I suppose you had a good time, didn't you?'Victoria had a multitude of questions for Gray as they sat facing each other at the table. If only they were alone, she would have already asked those questions. However, due to the presence of other people, she couldn't do so. Instead, she resorted to imagining kicking Gray's butt ten times.Thanks to Gray, Victoria seemed to have completely forgotten about Martin, Zoe, and everyone else on the trip. Her attention was solely fixed on Gray, who appeared to be enjoying his meal.Gray took a small bite of shrimp and made a face. He quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin.'Doesn't he like it?' Victoria thought to herself.He then tried another dish, and his expression changed to a smile.'Ah, now he enjoys it,' she realized.Victoria remembered that Gray was a chef, so he had to have high standards when
Martin and his bodyguard boarded the helicopter for a prior meeting with an important investor. Their destination was the meeting place, and they had to reach there before sunset.As they soared through the sky, Martin couldn't help but notice that his bodyguard remained vigilant, constantly scanning for any potential threats."There's nothing to guard against up here," Martin remarked.His bodyguard turned to him and replied, "I understand, Sir. However, it's crucial for me to stay prepared in case of an unforeseen emergency.""You mean like if the helicopter were to suddenly crash?" Martin asked jokingly."Don't worry, Sir. I assure you, I won't let that happen," the bodyguard reassured him.Martin couldn't help but chuckle at the seriousness in her expression. "You should try to relax a little, Vic."“I will try, Sir.” He inquired, "By the way, I heard that you have a license to operate a helicopter. Is that true?""Yes. We underwent training to be proficient in operating various
On an island owned by the Cadell family, there stood a spacious cabin by a serene lake. It was meticulously maintained to provide comfort and tranquility to its visitors.Today, the Cadell and Red families are set to enjoy a day out together. The first to arrive at the cabin was Margaux Cadell, the head of the Cadell family."Make sure you bring only the freshest ingredients for cooking, got it?" Margaux instructed the staff she had hired to serve the two wealthiest families in the country."There can be no mistakes," Margaux vowed to herself. The Red family was a crucial ally, and she was determined not to jeopardize the relationship that had been established by their ancestors.The only issue was the unsettling rumor that her grandson was now chasing Victoria Red, his fiancée."Even though I wanted to gain Red's favor, I need to ensure that spoiled brat understands her place."In the past, Victoria was obedient to Margaux because she wanted to be a dutiful grandaughter-in-law. Howev
Inside Victoria's large room, Martin was sitting on a couch while drinking coffee. He was calmly sitting there as if nothing crazy happened a moment ago.Victoria sat on the opposite side, watching him.'I still couldn't believe that he prepared many people and cars just to find me,' she thought, completely still in shock. 'Did he do that just because I am his fiancée?'"I caused quite a scene earlier," Martin started the conversation. He glanced up and locked eyes with her. "When I heard that my fiancée had been kidnapped, I immediately rallied my men. I didn't have time to verify if it was true. So, I apologize if I startled everyone."Victoria was at a loss for words. She simply couldn't find the right response.Martin continued, "So, where were you last night? Why did you go out alone and only come back this morning? I thought you were unwell."Finally, Victoria replied, "I was feeling bored. And I only lied to you because you wouldn't stop pestering me to go out.""Ahh. I get it.
Outside the hotel, Gray and Victoria were seen sitting on the bench.Gray was crouching down, holding his aching head. While Victoria looked at him, feeling the second-hand embarrassment.Just a moment ago, Gray's towel slipped downward, and Victoria saw his thing.Victoria looked at Gray. She extended her hand and tapped his back as if consoling him.In an instant, Gray glared at her and said, "Why are you patting my back? Is that some sort of comforting me? If you're attempting to console me, then patting my back won't have any effect." He was teary when he continued, "YOU SAW EVERYTHING IN ME. DAMN IT!" Victoria pulled her hand away from him. She was thinking so hard about how to comfort Gray. Then, she thought of an idea."Don't worry," she said. "It's not like my first time seeing that. I used to see those in the past."Gray stopped and looked at her with widened eyes. "What?" He gasped and covered his mouth. "Are you that kind of woman?"With a frown, she said, "No. I never ha
Gray and Victoria found themselves strolling down a hotel corridor, heading towards their room.How did they end up in the hotel?It was quite a serendipitous encounter as they had crossed paths at the bar earlier."I trusted you!" shouted the drunk Victoria. She was swaying as she grabbed Gray's collar and pinned him to the wall.Gray glanced around, feeling mortified by the scene. Luckily, there was no one nearby witnessing him being cornered by an intoxicated Victoria."Hey, hey, just take it easy. Why don't we head inside the room first? You can unleash all your wild antics there," Gray suggested, attempting to gently nudge her aside.But Victoria was strong, and he ended up getting pinned on the wall again.'Just how strong this woman is?' he thought with a sigh."I drank the… juice because I knew you wouldn't spike it. But why am I feeling dizzy now? Why?!" Victoria complained and pouted. Her face was all red.Gray stared at her current face and thought, 'But at least I saw this
