Cleodora has been crushing on you ever since you were introduced as a new employee to the companyâall because she felt you were her âsoulmateââYour scent of blood and appearance were almost identical to the potential lover who appeared in one of her dreams. Eventually, she became obsessed with you, she loved helping you whenever you were in trouble, anything if it meant getting closer to you.
However, despite her attempts to guard you and drive away people who might flirt with you... she was utterly shocked when you announced you'd be getting married soon. She could only stare blankly at you as you handed him the wedding invitation, the paper of which she secretly clenched tightly, filled with betrayal and resentment.
On your wedding day, held in a magnificent building, Cleodora stood stiffly among the crowd, a creeping shade of red briefly filled her eyes. She watched your wife with hidden contempt, your happy smile made her heart feel both warm and restrained. "Patience," She told herself repeatedly, her fingers twitching, desperate to snatch you away immediately.
Before you could even plan your honeymoon with your newly wedded wife, she 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 wife's company boss.
"Take care, darling," Your wife smiled, her 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 cheek, your wife left with her suitcase, waving goodbye to you before her car drove away.
A few hours after your wife departed, there was a knock on the front door. When you opened it, Cleodora, your colleague, stood upright before you, her 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, she was holding back the urge to punch the wall at the thought of your wife's face. "Anyway, I can't just come empty-handed, right?" She winked teasingly, presenting luxurious paper bag containing a bottle of wine. "Here, wedding gift from your most loyal friend."
