The sound was sickening–blood gushed out the instant she yanked the de free, hot stters painting her face.
“Ah!”
Natalie had never seen anything like it. Her scream tore through the alley, only to be cut short by the man’s sharp growl.
“Shut up! Do you want the police here? Press the wound! Now–grab the medicine from my pocket!”
Her mind went nk. She moved like a puppet, obeying without thought, hands trembling as she pressed down, fumbling for the vial.
She knew one thing with absolute rity–she couldn’t get tangled in a scandal. If she was dragged into this, thepetition would be over, her years of training wasted, her parents‘ expectations shattered.
So she did as he said.
The bleeding slowed, but the sight of his torn flesh left her shaking. She copsed onto the ground, panting hard.
The man went still, so still she thought he’d died.
“H–hey. Don’t you dare. Say something!”
She nudged him with her foot. Nothing.
Natalie’s heart leapt into her throat. She turned and bolted–only to skid to a halt after a few steps. With a whimper, she spun back, dropped her wallet and phone beside him, and whispered shakily, “You promised. We never met.”
Then she ran for her life.
By the time she staggered back, fever already brewing, she copsed. Thepetition went on without her. When she returned home, the Summers couple scolded her harshly, while she locked the memory away so deep it rotted in silence.
Until now<i>. </i>
Her gaze locked on the scar across Baron’s chest. In a rush, the realization hit her. That night-

the bleeding man in the alley-
It had been him.
Without thinking, she tore open his shirt. Buttons popped, scattering across the floor.
Shauna’s eyes went wide.

Sean and Susie gawked, then pped their hands over their faces–though their fingers left just enough room to peek.
Baron blinked at her brazenness before chuckling low. “So eager? But sweetheart, your body’s not ready for… anything too vigorous yet.”
Natalie froze, then flushed crimson, realizing how it must have looked.
“Baron! Don’t talk nonsense!” She fumbled to cover his chest, only to notice she had ripped half the buttons away. Mortified, she turned away, face ame.
Shauna coughed discreetly. Was this something she was supposed to witness for free? Mr. Gunn’s physique was… too much.
Natalie stammered, “I just wanted to see the scar. You–you’re that bastard who forced me to pull the knife, aren’t you?”
Baron caught her shoulders, his eyes bright with unguarded joy. “You remembered?”
“…Yes.”
His grin lit the room. “If not for the money and phone you left behind, I might not have survived. Natalie–back then, you saved me.”
“I was forced to! Because of you, I missed mypetition and got scolded half to death!”
Her bitterness at the Summers couple’s treatment surfaced, tugging at her chest.
Baron, however, only looked at her with tenderness. He had known she’d missed thepetition. He’d investigated afterward, piecing together her identity. At the time he’d been too weak to approach, too afraid to drag her into his bloody world.
By the time he had power enough to protect her, Natalie was already with Jensen, blindly
devoted.
He had burned with jealousy, wanted Jensen gone from existence–but he knew killing him would only turn her hatred on himself. So he had left Ocean City, swallowing the ache.

And yet, fate had brought them back together. This time, battered but alive, she was in his arms atst.
Baron pulled her close, holding her as if he would never let go again.
