When the game with the children finally wrapped up, Vincent flopped onto a stone bench, his chest heaving as he gasped for air. Sweat glinted on his forehead in the fading sunlight.Winnie handed him a tissue, her eyes soft with concern, though she didn't miss the faint, satisfied smile tugging at the corner of his mouth."Vincent, why don't we head into town and pick up a few things?" she suggested brightly."Sure. Let's go."Vincent slapped his thigh and pushed himself to his feet. He had been meaning to look around town anyway.They set off together, Winnie keeping pace beside him. Every so often, she stole a glance at his relaxed, confident profile, quietly counting herself lucky. Running into him again here felt like fate handing her a second chance.But neither of them had any idea that this brief peace was about to shatter.…Amid the bustle of the open-air market, Vincent leaned over a stall, picking out toys for the children.Winnie stood off to the side with an armfu

The night before the engagement party, Vincent made his way to the venue alone.He stopped outside the banquet hall. Decorated with sunflowers, the place looked far too festive, and a crushing weight settled on his chest, making it hard to breathe.To him, this sudden engagement felt like a shackle fate had forced upon him, leaving him with nothing to look forward to.Samara felt the exact opposite. She was brimming with anticipation and excitement.She had carefully chosen sunflowers as the main decorative theme because they were one of the few things she remembered Vincent liking.She wanted to make up for the coldness and neglect she had shown him in their past life. This engagement ceremony would mark the beginning of their new life together.…The next day, the moment they arrived, Vincent pushed the car door open and stepped out, his footsteps heavy.Samara followed right behind. She extended her hand gracefully, expecting him to help her out, but he sidestepped the gestu

Samara's vow should have been warm and moving, but the tension between them made it ring hollow.If they truly loved each other, her words would have struck a deep chord. But Vincent's heart had long been buried beneath the shadows of the past, drained of whatever warmth it once held."Alright, Mr. Harper. Now it's time to kiss your fiancee."The emcee's voice broke through the stillness at just the right moment.Vincent's brow furrowed, anger flaring in his eyes.An engagement party was one thing, but a kiss?The humiliation of this farce cut deeper than anything he had experienced before.He lowered his gaze to meet Samara's eyes, searching for the slightest trace of hesitation, but found only coldness and an unspoken threat.Samara chuckled, her smile brimming with triumphant provocation.She slowly tilted her pale chin up, an unmistakable warning glinting in her eyes, as if to say, "Don't test my limits, Vincent. Winnie's safety rests entirely on your choice."Under that

The night was pitch-black, but a far deeper darkness weighed on Vincent's heart.He knew exactly what was coming, and painful memories of his past life came flooding back. Tension, grief, and anger twisted inside him until his stomach seized in a cramp so violent that he hissed a sharp breath through his teeth.He gritted his teeth and bore the agony, but Samara assumed it was just another act and sneered. "What now? Trying a new trick? Or did you decide you don't care about saving Winnie after all?"Vincent forced the words out through the pain. "Samara, I really—"Before he could finish, another spasm racked his body. The color drained from his face as cold sweat broke out across his skin.Samara finally realized something was actually wrong, a sudden tightness gripping her chest. She quickly climbed off him and pressed a hand to his forehead, breathing a sigh of relief only when she confirmed he didn't have a fever.Still, seeing him in so much pain softened her. She gently li

Early the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains, Samara stirred awake. The first thing she saw was Vincent's sharply defined face, and a tender smile touched her lips before she could stop it.She climbed out of bed quietly, careful not to shatter the peaceful moment. Still, she couldn't resist leaning down to plant a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth.Vincent seemed to sense something in his sleep. His brow furrowed, and his arm swung out instinctively, cutting through the air just past her face and nearly ruining the moment.Samara reacted quickly, dodging his hand with a sly smile.Vincent jolted awake. Bleary-eyed, he met Samara's amused gaze, and the last traces of sleep vanished in an instant."You!" he gasped."What is it? Still groggy from last night?"Samara chuckled nonchalantly, a hint of teasing in her voice.A bad feeling crept over Vincent. There was no way she had missed how restless he had been all night. Even so,
