Chapter 4

My vision gradually blurred.

Sweet memories from the past surged up uncontrollably, stabbing me painfully.

I'll never forget how hard Victoria fought to marry me back then.

Once, someone maliciously drugged her drink with a powerful aphrodisiac.

When the drug took effect, she forcibly endured it, using a knife to cut herself to stay conscious.

She'd rather soak in cold water all night than touch anyone who approached her.

Afterward, she held me, deadly serious: "Theodore, I won't touch anyone but you. For this lifetime, I'll only be faithful to you."

I believed her.

And Diallo was my other salvation.
