"Sir. It's me, Vic. Come I come in?""Enter."A woman dressed in black entered the room. The scent of paperwork and books enveloped her as she looked at her boss, Martin Cadell, the young Chairman of Crimson Corporation.Martin remained focused on his laptop, not bothering to glance up as she walked in. His attention was clearly elsewhere, highlighting that he was busy."Are you here to submit your resignation letter once again?" Martin asked without facing her.Vic anxiously bit her lower lip. She held the resignation letter in her hand, but she hadn't expected Martin to figure out her purpose.Martin flashed a smile as he spoke, "I've already told you. You can't resign. I haven't found anyone as skilled as you to be my bodyguard."It's been a whole month since Vic told Martin about quitting as his bodyguard. Martin promised to let her go once he found a suitable replacement, but it seems like he hasn't made any effort at all."Sir Martin," Vic called out. "I want to thank you for tr

It was as if Zoe had orchestrated the whole thing to frame her. Consequently, the trial concluded with Vic being found guilty and sentenced to 20 years behind bars.** **Days had gone by since Vic was imprisoned, yet she hadn't eaten a thing. She simply rested against the wall, lost in a daze.Most of the time, she appeared to be waiting nonchalantly for her fate to catch up with her.Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching.

Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 3. "To Meet Her Boss Again"
Vic, who passed away in prison, found herself waking up in the body of a young, wealthy, and stunning heiress named Victoria Red."Victoria Red is the fiancée of my boss. She was in a coma for two years following an accident. If she doesn't wake up by next year, Martin was thinking of calling off the engagement," Vic whispered to herself in the hospital.It was still unbelievable to her how a simple guard like herself ended up in Victoria's body, inheriting the wealth and status of a prominent family.“Then how about my body? Did my body as Vic really die?”As she thought, the hospital door suddenly opened and she met three people. They turned out to be Victoria's family, all hoping for her to wake up from her coma."According to the doctor, there's nothing wrong with you," Victoria's father, Emmanuel, mentioned.Sitting beside Vic, her mother Sabby gently stroked her head. "Sweetheart, do you really not recognize any of us?"Vic looked at them and shook her head."Oh dear. My poor da

On top of that, he found out that his fiancée, Victoria Red, had woken up from her coma. This meant he had to go see her and have a conversation about their engagement."Are you really going to see her today?" Hunter, his secretary, asked."I have to, even if I don't really want to," Martin replied."Her family still blames you for the accident, Sir.""Well, I can't really argue with that," Martin admitted.If only Victoria hadn't been so infatuated with Martin, she wouldn't have driven all by herself just to see him."All I want is to end the engagement. I heard she had lost her memory. This is my only opportunity," Martin said, grabbing his suit.When he stepped out of his room, he spotted his childhood friend, Zoe, wearing a bandage around her arm."Is it true? Are you really going to see your fiancée?" Zoe inquired with a concerned expression.Martin averted his gaze.
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 5. "Confusion"
Victoria's family eagerly awaited her return home, prepared to offer comfort in case she arrived after Martin decided to call off their engagement.When Vic finally arrived, her mother, Sabby, quickly ushered her to the couch and wasted no time asking, "What's going on, dear? Did Martin really end things with you?"Her father Emmanuel added, "Seriously, what's wrong with that guy? We can definitely find a better business partner than that heartless jerk! Don't worry about him, Victoria. You deserve someone much better."Victoria's twin brother Mikhail simply rolled his eyes and remarked, "You guys are blowing this out of proportion. Victoria has amnesia, remember? Even if Martin ended things, she'd be fine. Unless, of course, she's fallen for him all over again. Have you, Vic?"Vic glanced upwards, feeling grateful that she, an orphan, now had a loving family. It was because of this newfound happiness that she made the decision to live life to the fullest.But why?Why would Martin at
Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 6. "Angel In Disguise"
Victoria Red would rather save a drowning ant than save Zoe from a crocodile. That's how deep her hatred runs.Every time Victoria encountered her fiancé, Martin, Zoe would conveniently appear and act sweetly while putting a facade of friendship towards him.Victoria imagined slapping Zoe repeatedly for her deceitful actions. However, she refrained from doing so out of love for Martin and the desire to maintain a good impression in his eyes.'Why did this woman try to deceive me?' Vic pondered silently after she doused Zoe's face with juice.Upon discovering that Victoria had lost her memories, Zoe saw an opportunity to manipulate her and falsely claimed to be her best friend.'As if I will fall for her scheme. This woman once accused me of attempting to kill her, and I would never let her trick me again,' Vic thought, determined to teach Zoe a lesson she would remember.Meanwhile, Zoe stood there, drenched in juice, her mouth agape like a fish out of water.She looked at Vic and thou

'Zoe will tell Martin what I did,' Vic was sure of this.But unlike before, she made the decision not to care about Martin's response. In the end, she was determined to break off her engagement with him.'If he gets mad at me and ends the engagement because of the incident, then it will be better,' Vic thought.Standing near the balcony, Vic overheard Victoria's twin brother's voice."Sis!" Mikhail called out, gasping for breath. "Did you really throw juice on Zoe?"Vic, who no longer worried about Martin's reaction, now found herself concerned if she had done something that would anger Victoria's family."Do our parents know?" she asked."No. I asked everyone who knew it to keep it a secret. So, why the hell did you do that?""She was rude," Vic said before biting her lower lip. She thought she would hear an earful nag from Mikhail. However…Mikhail patted her shoulder and said, "I'm really proud of you, Sis." Vic was taken aback and looked at him, waiting for him to continue."You u
