Even Suicide Won'T Make Me
Lina, neglected by her father and stepmother since childhood, chooses Vincent as her personal bodyguard. Over time, their close companionship leads Lina to fall deeply for Vincent, and she pursues him relentlessly, but he remains unmoved. Devastated, Lina discovers Vincent only became her bodyguard to get close to her stepsister, Wendy, and that he is actually the heir to the powerful Swan family. Heartbroken and furious, Lina impulsively marries Ryan, a man in a vegetative state. By the time Vincent realizes that Lina was the one he had fallen for years ago, not Wendy, it’s already too late...The chapel was too quiet. Just the hum of Ryan’s life support machine, synced to my pulse. My father didn’t attend. Wendy wore black, as if mourning me. And Vincent—standing in the back, face pale, fists clenched—looked like a man realizing he’d lost a treasure he never knew he held.
I said “I do” to a man who couldn’t answer. The priest hesitated. The ring felt like ice.
As I kissed Ryan’s cold lips, Vincent broke through the guards. “Lina, stop! I love you—it’s always been you!”
But the deed was done. The contract signed in blood and silence.
Now, they’re both watching me. One with hollow eyes. One with broken ones.
And I have to decide: do I honor the vow I made to a sleeping man… or risk everything for the one who woke up too late?
