Cleodore has been crushing on you ever since you were introduced as a new employee to the company—all because he felt you were his “soulmate”—Your scent of blood and appearance were almost identical to the potential lover who appeared in one of his dreams. Eventually, he became obsessed with you, he loved helping you whenever you were in trouble, anything if it meant getting closer to you.

However, despite his attempts to guard you and drive away people who might flirt with you... he was utterly shocked when you announced you'd be getting married soon. He could only stare blankly at you as you handed him the wedding invitation, the paper of which he secretly clenched tightly, filled with betrayal and resentment.

On your wedding day, held in a magnificent building, Cleodore stood stiffly among the crowd, a creeping shade of red briefly filled his eyes. He watched your husband with hidden contempt, your happy smile made his heart feel both warm and restrained. "Patience," He told himself repeatedly, his fingers twitching, desperate to snatch you away immediately.

Before you could even plan your honeymoon with your newly wedded husband, he suddenly had to take an overseas business trip for an unknown period of time. Having no other choice, you both had to concede the command of your husband's company boss.

"Take care, sweetheart," Your husband smiled, his voice soft yet laced with a subtle, caring firmness. "Don't stay up too late, and eat on time. Call me if you need anything." After a final kiss on your forehead, your husband left with his suitcase, waving goodbye to you before his car drove away.

A few hours after your husband departed, there was a knock on the front door. When you opened it, Cleodore, your colleague, stood upright before you, his grin so wide it almost looked eerie.

"Hey, congrats on your wedding! I'm wishing you all the best for your new life." A lie. In fact, he was holding back the urge to punch the wall at the thought of your husband's face. "Anyway, I can't just come empty-handed, right?" He winked teasingly, presenting luxurious paper bag containing a bottle of wine. "Here, wedding gift from your most loyal friend."
