“I feel like I'll die peacefully if I hear news of James' death.”

Edward, who had just arrived home, sighed softly. Those were the words Zia had repeatedly repeated after Edward had given her a little encouragement to seek revenge.

Nevertheless, Edward had too many considerations to prevent anything bad from happening to Zia. He had promised Robert that he would protect her.

“Zia, I just got home. Can we talk later?” Edward asked, still trying to remain patient.

“But you said that my life would be peaceful if...”

“ZIA!”

Instantly, Zia fell silent and bowed her head upon hearing Edward raise his voice slightly. Zia realized how annoying she had been lately, constantly talking about her desire for revenge against what James had done to her.

Guilt pierced Zia's chest. She had been scolded and even fought with Edward worse than this before. But the fact that they hadn't spoken in a long time, not even to ask how each other was doing, made Zia's heart refuse to accept that Edward was her b

    “BELLA!” James shouted, slamming the door shut, startling everyone in the house with his angry arrival.“What's wrong, sir?” asked the housekeeper.“Where's Bella?”“Mrs. Bella left this morning with her suitcase.”James clenched his fists in anger. “Damn it!” he muttered.James then sat on the sofa, running his hands through his hair, feeling utterly frustrated. Everything was in shambles, destroyed. It was as if his legs could no longer carry him, yet there was no reason to pursue anything in his life.As Bella had said, she was leaving James because she had only stayed for his wealth. And now that his company was on the brink of bankruptcy, Bella had truly gone.The worst part was that Bella had taken all the money from James' safe. It was the only thing left to keep the company afloat when all the investors suddenly withdrew their support.“Sir, please drink this.” The housekeeper handed him a glass of water to calm him down.“I want beer,” James refused the mineral water.“But, s

    #Note: Hazel is Zia#When they arrived in New York, Eric complained, “Hazel, people will think you're my girlfriend."Yes, Edward asked Eric to go with Zia, who is now Hazel, for her safety, because Edward couldn't leave his job. Even though she is now living a new life, the trauma Zia experienced did not disappear just like that.Since leaving Edward's house, Hazel had been walking behind Eric, holding onto the hem of his shirt, refusing to interact with anyone. Even when Edward told her that Eric would be coming with them, Hazel had strongly objected, saying she could go alone.“Just do your job and don't say anything!” Hazel whispered.“Alright. I'll call a taxi.”Hazel stood silently, staring at the snow under her feet. The coldness brought back memories—she was almost dying. The cold, heavy snow fell slowly, covering the ground, and everything repeated. Her hands began to tremble, but she tried hard to stay composed.In truth, their timing to come to New York was wrong.

    Zia threw her antidepressants in the trash, convinced that she had begun to overcome her trauma. Thanks to Eric's help, Zia managed to get through her days fairly well. Eric tried so hard to convince Zia that the things that scared her weren't that scary.Of course, Edward generously paid Eric for his help as a token of gratitude.“What did you throw away, Zia?” asked Edward, patting Zia on the head.“My antidepressants,” Zia replied.“Why did you throw them away?”“Ah, I want to break my dependence on those drugs,” replied Zia confidently.Edward smiled with relief at Zia's significant change. Indeed, Zia had not yet entirely accepted what had happened to her. She also couldn't hear anyone mention James' name in front of her. What Zia had tried so hard to banish from her life came crashing back when she heard that name.That was why Eric had asked Edward not to discuss James with Zia. Zia’s improved condition was also due to Eric convincing her she was now living in a new face full o

    Zia's eyes were fixed on James and Bella, who talked to a nurse. They even laughed as if they had never done anything to make someone's life miserable. Meanwhile, Zia had to fight desperately to recover from her harrowing trauma.“Zia, you're seeing things. We should go.” Edward tried to block Zia's view of James.But it didn't work at all. Zia's body began to react. Her breathing grew heavy, her body trembled, and her lips turned pale. She took a step back, feeling James turn to look at her with the same expression he had when he had drowned her, his small, threatening smile seeming as though he would kill Zia in the most painful way possible.It was just a hallucination that felt so real because of Zia's overwhelming fear. She could see Edward's lips moving as if he were saying something to her, but Zia heard nothing except a prolonged, loud ringing in her ears colliding with the sound of James' angry screams.And worst of all, the laughter of the depraved men who had abused and tort

    There was nothing good in Zia's life after all she had been through, but neither was James. He is constantly haunted by guilt that keeps him from living a peaceful life. James is now suffering from heart disease and almost died because he had a severe seizure; fortunately, James can still be saved.James's entire family tried to help James return to everyday life and forget Zia, but that only hurt James even more. In fact, he spent more time with Zia, even long before James met Audrey.“James, we should get going,” Bella said as she entered James' room.“We don't need to go anywhere,” James replied, continuing to stare out of his hotel room window.It has been two years since Zia passed away. James' health has deteriorated drastically.
