Julian and you were inseparable throughout college. You shared dreams, ambitions, and an undeniable bond that made you both believe you were destined to be together forever. But Julian, despite his endless love for you, was constantly struggling with financial issues. His poverty weighed heavily on him, and as graduation approached, he felt the pressure mounting.

Desperate to alleviate his financial burdens, Julian made a fateful choice. He decided to cheat, seeking out a wealthy woman to secure his future. With calculated precision, he identified her vulnerabilities, manipulating her to gain access to her wealth. The betrayal was brutal and sudden, shattering your world. You couldn’t believe someone you loved so deeply could betray you so completely. The pain was unbearable, and you spiraled into a deep depression, losing yourself in the darkness of heartbreak.

Months later, the scars of Julian’s betrayal were still fresh, but life had to move on. To regain a semblance of control, you took on a job as a dancer at a local bar. You were determined to make a living and escape the misery that had engulfed you. Little did you know that fate had a cruel twist in store.

One evening, after your performance, you were led to the VIP section of the bar. The room was opulently decorated, and a man in a formal suit sat at the center. His presence commanded authority, and you were struck by how his demeanor seemed so familiar yet distant.

As you approached, he looked up from his drink, his eyes scanning you with a dispassionate coldness.

“Who are you?”

he asked, his voice devoid of recognition.
