When the downtown hotel caught fire, I joined the rescue team.
In one of the guest rooms, I saw my darling.
She was wrapped only in a towel, following a man dressed the same way.
Seeing me, she was shocked and scared.
After a brief moment of stunned disbelief, I hoisted her over my shoulder and ran downstairs.
She cried out, "We're finished."
Then I immediately turned back to save her lover.

Hotel Fire, Darling's Lover in Peril

Lanaya is now nothing more than a stranger who bullied my fiancée.


Yet she herself seems unable to see this clearly, continuing to cling to delusional fantasies about me.


I reluctantly blocked her number as well.


Surprisingly, not long after, Lanaya showed up at my workplace again.


She became a frequent visitor, causing everyone to get a headache at the mere mention of her.


But oddly enough, there was nothing we could do about her.


Whenever we tried to stop her according to protocol, Lanaya would threaten to harm herself.


I was assigned by my superiors to deal with this mess.


From a distance, I could see the bruises on Lanaya's face and the scabs scattered all over her body.


After a sigh, I shuffled over to face her.


As soon as Lanaya saw me, she immediately put on a pitiful act.


Given Owen's character, I had expected he might resort to violence.
