The bodyguard entered after knocking and placed the breakfast on the table before quickly leaving.

After finishing her meal, she wiped her mouth and headed to the delivery room. As expected, Stephan was already waiting there.

Felicia approached silently, but Stephan noticed her immediately. He reached out and pulled her close. "You were complaining about being hungry last night. Did you eat breakfast?"

"I did." Felicia then teased, "How did you know it was me? What if you had mistaken someone else for me?"

For some reason, she pressed, "But what if… What if one day, you can't recognize me?"

Stephan pondered her question. Then, he chuckled and shook his head. "If that ever happens, it means I'm dead."

"Don't say that!" Neither of them knew at the time that this casual exchange would one day become a haunting prophecy.

Felicia's heart skipped a beat. She quickly covered Stephan's mouth with her hand. But he simply laughed and kissed her hand.
