"Goodbye." A man stood behind a burning painting, watching the flames consume it.

"I won’t marry you in my next life." The woman’s voice was steady, filled with finality.

"Suit yourself." The man turned away, walking off, leaving her behind in the raging fire. ~~

Now, in the modern era—the year 2039, technology had advanced beyond imagination.

Victor Valdes was the CEO of the world’s biggest tech company—a brilliant man, but surrounded by rumors. They said he spent his nights sleeping with whores.

Meanwhile, Hycha was no ordinary person. She was a highly skilled assassin, so notorious that she had become an international fugitive.

One day, Hycha was given a simple job—kill one of the most powerful men in the world. Her target? Victor Valdes.

And she was more than happy to take the job.

On a quiet night, Hycha effortlessly infiltrated Victor Valdes’s company. Moving like a shadow, she reached his office and watched him for a moment—still working, completely unaware.

Then, in one swift motion, she grabbed him from behind, pressing a gun to the side of his head.

"We meet again, don’t we?" She smirked, whispering close to his ear.

Victor Valdes let out a slow breath, his fingers pausing on his desk. Leaning back in his chair, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

"Ah… so you’re going to kill me?" He exhaled, almost amused. "Well, that’s a much better fate than marrying you."
