Zoe was scared.She was convinced that Victoria wouldn't make it. She had been dishonest so many times, yet there was Victoria, alive and well?!Not only was Victoria a skilled fighter, but she also managed to rescue Martin.'I'm done for. Victoria will spill the truth to Martin, and they'll know I've been lying!' Zoe shuddered at the idea, sinking to the ground.However, neither Victoria nor Martin seemed to be thinking about that at the moment.Perhaps Zoe was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't catch what Victoria asked Martin after saving him.[“Are you okay, Sir?”] That’s what Victoria asked, and now, she regretted saying it.Victoria gazed at Martin's trembling pupils as she looked down at him. They were both lying on the ground, with Victoria positioned on top of him. Strangely, she found herself unable to move.‘Why did I say that? Why did my old habit slip out now?’ she scolded herself.Her mistake was addressing Martin as 'Sir.' Wasn't that what she said when she wor
"What am I going to do? What should I do?!"Zoe was in a state of panic, constantly asking herself those questions.She nervously bit her nails while sitting in a wheelchair, pretending that she couldn't walk anymore. In reality, her legs were perfectly fine, but she was putting on an act to avoid suspicion.Her main concern wasn't her legs, though. She needed to figure out a way to ensure that Martin didn't think Victoria was in trouble because of her. How could she protect her lies?Lost in thought, a tall figure suddenly appeared before her. Slowly raising her head, Zoe saw the handsome Gray with a wicked grin on his face. The memory of Gray's coldness when he abandoned her in the forest flooded back.What was it that he had said again?["Why should I stay here and babysit you? I've got better things to do."]Using his heartlessness as a weapon, Zoe began to cry. "Gray, why would you do that?" She sobbed.Gray simply raised an eyebrow, seemingly amused by her emotional outburst."Y
["I was busy doing all the jobs for my boss, and you told me what?!"] Hunter exclaimed over the the other line.Victoria, who was on a phone call, placed her phone on the other side of her ear. She was ready to hear Hunter's nag.["I read your text just now. The chef you met turned out to be Mr. Gray. And you were attacked by wolves. You saved my boss, and you accidentally called him 'Sir.' Wow. I am speechless."]"If you are speechless, then what about me?" Victoria said, sighing. "I wanted to avoid talking to Martin. If he asks me who I am for the second time, I might have no excuse left."["You should make an excuse. Unless you want everyone to call you 'crazy.' Actually, right now, I wanted to go there and break Zoe's legs for real. But I kind of understood why you pretended as her new friend. You wanted to get evidence before she could erase it, right?"]When Zoe accused Victoria in her first past life, the evidence was erased. Zoe committed another crime, and if Victoria acted i
Gray and Martin have consumed a large amount of beer this evening. Surprisingly, neither of them is drunk, and they are both determined to outdo each other.The competition continues despite their flushed faces."We almost forgot about this," Sabby mentioned as she revealed the bottle of wine she and her husband had brought on the outing.When Sabby placed it on the table, Emmanuel started to explain, "This is a new wine we've produced. We're planning to launch it publicly next month."Margaux impressed the couple by asking, "That's great news. What will you name it?"With a smile, Sabby glanced at her daughter, Victoria, who had been sipping on juice all this time. "The wine will be named 'Victoria.'"Victoria glanced at her parents in shock as the unexpected news hit her. Even Martin and Gray paused their silent argument to focus on the mentioned wine."Why did you name it after your daughter?" Margaux inquired.Victoria's twin brother, Mikhail, responded, "Because it's Victoria's r
Gray was furious for multiple reasons. To begin with, he was enraged to witness Victoria in such a disheveled state after being attacked by wolves.Furthermore, he had a strong belief that someone intentionally endangered Victoria's life. His suspicions fell on Zoe, so he made an effort to assist Victoria in exposing her. However, Victoria disregarded the evidence and even formed a friendship with Zoe, despite being aware of the truth.Lastly, as Victoria pushed Zoe's wheelchair, Gray noticed the jealousy in her eyes towards Zoe and Martin. It infuriated him to see Victoria, a remarkable and amazing woman, willingly subject herself to danger and endure such hardships.It was simply unacceptable to Gray!But what made him even madder is that he had no rights to save her because she's with her current fiancé, Martin.So, If he spent time with Victoria, he feared he'd be overwhelmed with emotions once more. To avoid this, he made sure to avoid making eye contact with her.Despite his eff
Alex, the hunter's trainer, had a single motive for assisting Zoe. She had promised to pay him in exchange for helping her with anything she required. Alex was in dire need of money due to his gambling debts, and the salary he earned from taking care of the Cadell's cabin was insufficient. This is why he was willing to obey Zoe's orders regardless of the consequences."All I have to do is send the video to a reporter and inform them that Miss Victoria Red is cheating on Mr. Martin. It's incredibly simple."With a laugh, Alex began dialing a reporter's number. After a few rings, the reporter answered the phone."Hello. I have a tip for you. Are you familiar with the wealthy Red family? Well, Miss Vi..."However, Alex couldn't finish his report because someone snatched his phone from behind.He looked back, and his eyes widened when he saw Martin's secretary, Hunter!Hunter hung up the phone and turned his attention to Alex. "Who were you talking to?" he inquired.Alex swallowed nervous
Martin was there when Victoria and Gray were kissing. He was worried with his fiancée so he decided to follow Victoria. But when he arrived, he saw them kissing.'She's drunk. Gray initiated the kiss,' that's what Martin said to himself. Initially, Martin's instinct was to confront Gray and give him a good punch. But then, he started to question his own emotions.It was strange for him to feel this way. Although he was intrigued by Victoria because she reminded him of his bodyguard, this time, it felt different. It was almost as if seeing her with another man caused him pain.If it wasn't jealousy, then what else could it be?Martin had a hunch, although he didn't want to admit it. "Maybe," he thought to himself, "I've developed feelings for Victoria."He's willing to forgive Victoria, especially when he knows she might have done this just to break off their engagement. But what did she say to him? She liked Gray because he's a good kisser!Martin was furious!How could she prefer Gra
Gray headed to the grocery store to pick up some ingredients. He and Victoria had plans to catch up this weekend to discuss their agreement. However, Gray was more eager to hang out with her than to focus on the deal."I forgot to check if she has any allergies," Gray muttered as he examined a ripe tomato. "Maybe I should ask her about it?"As he strolled through the aisles, Gray absentmindedly scrolled through his phone. Unfortunately, he accidentally bumped his cart into someone else's."Oops, my bad!" the other shopper quickly apologized.Gray glanced ahead and uttered, "No worries. It's actually my fault for not paying attention. I'm so..." His words trailed off as he realized who was standing in front of him. "Miss Nadia?"Nadia squinted her eyes at the attractive man before her. "Gee?"As they recognized each other, they decided to head to a nearby coffee shop after finishing their grocery shopping."It's been ages, hasn't it?" Nadia remarked with a smile.Gray, who Nadia knew a
