With much patience, Tobias explained, “This is a Five Line Sak Yant, one of Thailand’s most sacred tattoos. It is believed that having this tattoo will bring luck, protection, fortune, health, and good relationships.”

Skylar tiptoed to touch the mysterious tattoo on his back. For a moment, she felt as if she had depreciated him by thinking he would tattoo her name. He is a mature man, after all. He’s not some hot-headed guy who would tattoo a woman’s name on his body.

“You are already filthy rich, but you’re still hoping for more fortune?” she muttered.

Tobias carried her to the bed and tucked her in. “Instead of fortune, I got the tattoo because I wished it would bring me good luck. For the past two years, life was not going my way. It’s hard to explain, but I feel like everything is destined. Now, I take all obstacles in life as my redemption to free myself from my sins.”
