To help Pure Love pass his assessment, my top spy wife made me a live target.
"Don't worry, Brady's aim is steady. He won't hurt you."
I trembled in fear, so she welded me to the target post with thick iron.
"Be good, stay still. If Brady fails the test, he'll be sent to northern Myanmar."
Pure Love secretly switched the foam bullets for real ones, riddling my body with holes, blood pooling on the ground.
Just as Darling came to check on me, he fainted at the sight of blood. So Darling abandoned my bullet-ridden body and rushed him to the hospital.
I was rescued, turned away, and never looked back.
But I heard that Darling, in an effort to make me return to her, shot herself 99 times.

Darling Shot Me Dead and Lived to Regret It

One year since their last encounter, Vera's appearance hadn't changed significantly.


However, her demeanor no longer exuded the same confidence and ease as before.


"I knew it... you were still alive... How have you been... all this time?"


I turned my head away, indicating I didn't want to engage with her.


But she kept moving closer, causing me to frown and step back.


Nora stepped forward to block her: "How dare you show your face to us, you bitch!"


Nora shouted at Vera without any courtesy.


Vera, reading the situation, retreated.


"Zephyr, I avenged you. I killed Brady with the same gun he used to shoot you."


"It was my fault. I shouldn't have used you as a living target. I was so afraid Brady would leave me again."


"Before, I had caused him to suffer abroad. If he had gone to Northern Myanmar because of me again, I might never have forgiven myself."
