Can’t Win Me Back

Due to Alyssa's ambush, Remy was caught off guard.

His collar was ripped apart, revealing his broad, muscular shoulder.

A birthmark! Damien had a light pink birthmark, about the size of a quarter, on the back of his left shoulder.

Remy had no birthmark on his left shoulder.

Instead, through her tear-blurred vision, she saw a long, terrifying scar as wide as two fingers.

The scar snaked down from his shoulder like a cruel serpent.

As a surgeon who had served on battlefield rescue missions with Doctors Without Borders, the sight of such a severe scar made her blood run cold.

With one look, she knew this wasn't just any ordinary knife wound.

It looked more like a wound from an explosion, with skin stitched back together after devastating injuries.
