BEAUTIFUL SOLDIER157Please respect copyright.PENANAJNUGTbUQnc
157Please respect copyright.PENANAFDXNPNf432
In the heart of a deep forest, darkness slowly crept in as the sun vanished behind the thick canopy. Beneath a towering bamboo tree sat a young man, his eyes lost and full of sorrow.157Please respect copyright.PENANAASghmJUSTR
157Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q53Z5LHro
“It’s not my fault… it’s not,” he whispered, a small stick trembling in his hand. “How could I be blamed for that patient’s death? I did everything I could…”157Please respect copyright.PENANAUi2wHb2CUv
157Please respect copyright.PENANAaLBova72Qr
This was Doctor Dereck, once a top physician at Forewell Hospital. Now? Just a man whose career had shattered like glass, blamed for a life he tried to save.157Please respect copyright.PENANA7hePJK07ZY
157Please respect copyright.PENANApMhHvBfv06
To escape the storm of judgment and pain, Dereck had come here—alone. Searching for peace. But peace had other plans.157Please respect copyright.PENANAahOsbF5bEN
157Please respect copyright.PENANAqb2fdHlXoO
Gunshots.157Please respect copyright.PENANAF2533RW65L
157Please respect copyright.PENANAoccKcO6jfh
His body tensed. “Was that… a gun?” His heart raced.157Please respect copyright.PENANA9BF0lrBOcm
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXnTzd7J3Id
More shots followed—louder, closer.157Please respect copyright.PENANA36JbxGAQXT
157Please respect copyright.PENANAGRiYo2QgeG
Out of instinct, he dove behind the bamboo tree. “God, please… I know death is part of life, but not today. I’m only 25…”157Please respect copyright.PENANAFyJZn2WgaR
157Please respect copyright.PENANA0BOzc0GkED
PA! PA! PA!157Please respect copyright.PENANAM0eXxhy52g
157Please respect copyright.PENANASMqkWsIELt
Then came the chaos. Soldiers appeared, firing back at masked enemies dressed in black, a brutal fight unfolding before his eyes.157Please respect copyright.PENANAXgHbok9ie0
157Please respect copyright.PENANAz5PKr25Xt0
And then—he saw her.157Please respect copyright.PENANAc5dSorDpvz
157Please respect copyright.PENANANYtRYmJBfF
A girl. A soldier. A vision.157Please respect copyright.PENANAs00Uz0buVf
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVufMPm8mQX
She stood amidst the flying bullets, firing with precise calm. Her round face was fierce and beautiful. Her small lips pursed in focus. Brown eyes locked on target. Even in her uniform, her grace was impossible to ignore.157Please respect copyright.PENANAHAKB1PeyVa
157Please respect copyright.PENANAFEhkJZUqi5
Dereck’s breath caught. “What… is this? A soldier or an angel?”157Please respect copyright.PENANABcG4gHXDir
157Please respect copyright.PENANAifYIQy37Q2
And before he could blink, the angel ran straight toward him.157Please respect copyright.PENANAPC44qySJzX
157Please respect copyright.PENANAiZtGGRlBRm
She shoved him aside just in time to strike down a masked attacker who had been creeping up behind him.157Please respect copyright.PENANAfjLeIR9LZ9
157Please respect copyright.PENANAWYPcEtxy2x
He hit the ground hard, stunned. “That bastard almost killed me…”157Please respect copyright.PENANAj5Y8VYhjcX
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUaCTldFPGo
His heart pounded, but all he could think of was her. He turned to look again—157Please respect copyright.PENANAAkDoIP9ojI
157Please respect copyright.PENANAspWORbj4Fe
She was gone.157Please respect copyright.PENANA6wcXfOib1t
157Please respect copyright.PENANA0IUy7dhCfF
But not for long.157Please respect copyright.PENANATKy9XHWYz5
157Please respect copyright.PENANAwoF8VZa3ob
The masked enemies, clearly losing the fight, began retreating into the forest, disappearing into the night. The gunfire stopped. Silence returned.157Please respect copyright.PENANAATwlHBatAY
157Please respect copyright.PENANAcI8oia2VCy
The soldiers gathered quickly—and to Dereck’s amazement, the girl stepped forward, her voice sharp and steady.157Please respect copyright.PENANAv0UwLLxknW
157Please respect copyright.PENANAm8qQS3nbDR
“Circle formation. Sweep perimeter. Stay alert.”157Please respect copyright.PENANAdubSD5yGlZ
157Please respect copyright.PENANAaCQ4dw28Xd
They followed instantly. She was no ordinary soldier.157Please respect copyright.PENANAcSr7I1dOAA
157Please respect copyright.PENANA6d7ygddfPF
She was the captain.157Please respect copyright.PENANAc7HfIjZguv
157Please respect copyright.PENANA1OwOixANXS
As the others moved out, she turned to him slowly, her intense eyes locking on his.157Please respect copyright.PENANAZEehgxz1Zh
157Please respect copyright.PENANAZAWpGxP0OR
“You. Civilian. What the hell are you doing in the forest all alone?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.157Please respect copyright.PENANAOlE9iRp1cO
157Please respect copyright.PENANABM0fZ8jsg9
Dereck blinked, then stood, brushing dirt off his clothes with a small smirk. “Chilling.”157Please respect copyright.PENANAZstYmFQ8WN
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUnDsxrsNL3
She didn’t laugh. She stared.157Please respect copyright.PENANAzi8VZmSkmU
157Please respect copyright.PENANAa6OSeOzomk
He cleared his throat, trying again. “I just needed space… to think. To breathe. Didn’t expect bullets and angels, though.”157Please respect copyright.PENANADMbOV45gdv
157Please respect copyright.PENANAAlaHLGrlyD
“Angels?” she asked, one brow raised.157Please respect copyright.PENANAXhBZKA7GO5
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtr1GOqSSqG
He smiled, eyes scanning her face with open admiration. “Yeah. You. Honestly, if you weren’t holding a gun and barking orders, I’d swear I was hallucinating.”157Please respect copyright.PENANA9E7UJk84rZ
157Please respect copyright.PENANAg1nPgGqYQ0
She rolled her eyes, but a flicker of a smile teased the corner of her lips. “This forest isn’t a spa. You’re lucky you didn’t get yourself killed.”157Please respect copyright.PENANAQxeBftGage
157Please respect copyright.PENANASqDNN1BdmM
He stepped closer. “Well, if I had, at least it’d be worth it. You’d be the last face I saw.”157Please respect copyright.PENANAPm8MZBN9r8
157Please respect copyright.PENANAR7ueeNGzg5
She gave him a sharp look—half warning, half amused. “You always flirt with people who just saved your life?”157Please respect copyright.PENANAz8gtNtby4H
157Please respect copyright.PENANAuQDtGYcnq1
“Only when they’re beautiful,” he replied smoothly, eyes twinkling. “And dangerous. You’re a deadly combination, Captain…”157Please respect copyright.PENANAnVy9xfXnOm
157Please respect copyright.PENANA4ntXANxCbh
“Captain Raya,” she said firmly.157Please respect copyright.PENANAqFFzWBVA69
157Please respect copyright.PENANA193y3V8W9R
He nodded, locking the name in his heart. “Captain Raya… Sounds powerful.”157Please respect copyright.PENANAEgY0k7b4Rc
157Please respect copyright.PENANAwdhXNx53Q8
“You talk too much,” she said, turning to walk away.157Please respect copyright.PENANAMJqRFueftJ
157Please respect copyright.PENANAErkGiMo7B5
But Dereck called after her with a grin. “I could stay quiet… if you promise to stay around.”157Please respect copyright.PENANAuFXnwVotyR
157Please respect copyright.PENANA0czgoLpRe1
She paused, didn’t look back, but he swore he saw her smirk before disappearing into the trees.157Please respect copyright.PENANAhiN3xCkXpR
157Please respect copyright.PENANA9egxZMD7rS
Dereck stood there, smiling to himself.157Please respect copyright.PENANAFCfHq9TLxG
157Please respect copyright.PENANAK8inlQFDCR
He came here to escape his past… but maybe fate had led him to something far more dangerous—and beautiful.157Please respect copyright.PENANAr68UAdu2W3
