Countdown To My Revenge Marriage Unqualified Bodyguard
Leonard's POV The impact sent a sharp jolt up my arm, but I didn’t care. His chair scraped violently against the floor as he stumbled back, knocking into the table behind him.Eric looked up at me, shock quickly morphing into anger.“What the hell—”I grabbed his shirt, yanking him forward.“Don’t touch her,” I said through clenched teeth.His eyes narrowed. “And who the hell are you to—”I shoved him back, harder this time.“The one telling you to keep your hands to yourself.”Eric smiled when he saw me clearly, like a sense of realization. My fists were still clenched from the punch, my chest rising and falling as adrenaline surged through me. For a second, I thought he would swing back.Instead, he laughed. Behind him, I noticed movement—two, maybe three men stepping forward from the shadows. Big and Alert. The kind of men who didn’t come to bars for drinks. My suspicion was confirmed instantly.Bodyguards.Of course he had bodyguards.They moved toward me, ready to jump in, but E
Countdown To My Revenge Marriage A fair fight
Leonard's POVI didn’t go home. I knew Anne would figure it out eventually. She always did. But at that moment, I didn’t care. I needed space…space from her questions, from my own thoughts, from the tight knot in my chest that refused to loosen no matter how many times I told myself I was fine. So I drove.I didn’t even remember how I ended up at the bar. One minute I was behind the wheel, gripping it too tightly, replaying Anne-Marie’s face in my head, and the next I was pushing open a heavy door into dim lights and the familiar scent of alcohol and smoke.I slid onto one of the stools at the counter and lit a cigarette, watching the flame flicker before it caught. The first drag burned my lungs, but I welcomed it. It felt better than whatever was eating me alive inside.“You look like you’re about to set something on fire.”I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.“Kathy,” I muttered.She came around the counter, tying her apron with one hand while eyeing me like she was try

Anne-Marie’s POVDinner had ended, but the tension just started If anything, it had thickened like something unseen had settled over the room, weaving itself into every glance, every unfinished sentence, every forced smile.I felt it most when I looked at Isla.She was watching me. As if she had been waiting for this exact moment all night.I set my glass down slowly, pretending not to notice. I had learned long ago that acknowledging people like Isla too quickly only gave them power.But she didn’t need permission.She approached me anyway.“Enjoying yourself?” she asked.Her tone was light, almost playful but her eyes betrayed her.I smiled faintly. “As much as one can at a family negotiation disguised as dinner.”She let out a soft laugh. “That’s one way to describe it.”We stood there for a second, the noise of the room fading into the background. I could feel it that shift. That moment right before something unpleasant reveals itself.“So,” she said, tilting her head, “you’re re

Louis’s POV The light switched on immediately when I entered , then I heard a voice which scared me.“You're finally back.” I turned to look at Isla. She was standing in the middle of the living room, perfectly still, like she had been waiting for hours.“I’ve been waiting for you,” she said.Her voice was calm, but there was something underneath it. Something sharp.I sighed, already exhausted. “It’s been a long day, Isla. I don’t want to…”“Apparently,” she cut in, taking a slow step toward me, “you had enough energy to chase after your ex-wife.”I froze and rubbed the back of my neck, trying to keep my tone even. “It wasn’t like that.”“It never is with you, is it?” she replied, her lips curling into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “You just happen to be outside when Anne-Marie is there. You just happen to follow her. You just happen to forget you have me.”“That’s not fair.”“Fair?” she echoed, and this time she laughed but it was hollow. “You want to talk about fair, Louis

Anne-Marie’s POV I had been awake since the small hours, long before the large bell struck 7AM . My laptop screen was the only real light, a cold blue square in the darkness of the living room, illuminating stacks of invoices, old contracts, and the half-finished rebranding proposals I could no longer bear to read.I was still trying to work on what was remaining of Duval scents. I would have long forgotten it but it carried my father's memories. It was his dream that Louis crashed in one night.My father’s name still carried weight in certain circles in Grasse and Paris, but weight alone did not pay the rent on the boutique or the salaries of the few loyal perfumers who remained. Louis, my ex-husband, the man I once believed loved me more than ambition had taken his pound of flesh in the divorce settlement. Half the distribution network, the most lucrative Middle Eastern contracts, the modern packaging facility outside Lyon. What remained was the original name, the historic recipes
Countdown To My Revenge Marriage Marriage finalized
Anne Marie's POV“I think you should brace up and go with the marriage. After all, he knows it's for business.”“ I don't trust them”“Obviously you shouldn't. Let's sit for a moment…the weather is pretty hot.” Leon advised.I sat on the weathered park bench, the late afternoon sun filtering through the canopy of oak leaves above us. Leonard was beside me, his enthusiasm, even though my mind was elsewhere tangled in the web of decisions I'd made recently.My phone buzzed in my pocket, shattering the moment. I pulled it out, glancing at the screen. Eric's name flashed across it, and a familiar knot tightened in my stomach. Leonard noticed my hesitation. "Everything okay?" he asked, his brow furrowing."Yeah, just... work stuff," I lied, swiping to answer. "Hello?""Anne-Marie," Eric's voice came through, smooth and insistent as always. "I need to see you. Now. There's a restaurant nearby—Le Petit Bistro on Rue de la Paix. Meet me there in fifteen minutes."I glanced at Leonard, who was
