*Knox*

The attendant glares at me like she didn't understand the language I spoke.

“Uhm, we have many girls come in today, so perhaps you have another way to describe whoever it is you're looking for.”

I wasn't in the mood for the very relaxed and uninterested way she was speaking to me. She didn't even look me in the face while she spoke.

“Her name is Tessa, she has long wavy black hair, and brown eyes. She's 5ft4. What else?” I say, scanning my head, “She's on a uniform. A short brown skirt with a brown blazer. And a burgundy tie.”

The attendant smiles and says, “What’s all this? A police report?” She chuckles. “I haven't seen anyone looking like you said. Perhaps, you're looking for the right person at the wrong place. I mean, if people give the police such information, they will be better at their jobs.” She jokes.

Time was fast spent. I can see that the attendant isn't planning to help matters, and I was going to come for her head if I did not see Tessa, because she was the last

  • In Love With My Bodyguard    Chapter Twenty-eight

    *Tessa*I didn't know what happened to Knox at the party. All Marin and I know is that he made sure we arrived at the room safely, and he told us he would be back, but he never came.It's now hours after, and Marcus is saying he hasn't heard anything from Knox. That's very unlike Knox, and it makes me worry if this time he isn't going to be back anymore.“You shouldn't just sit back and expect him to be back. What if something has happened to him? Why don't you care for your workers at all? He had been safeguarding me with his life since you hired him. I want to know if he's alright or not. That shouldn't be too much to ask.” I am not pleased with how Marcus is indifferent about Knox. “He will be back when he's ready. What happened yesterday wasn't a big deal. I'm sure he went out on his own will, and he will come back to a query because he left you and your friend behind. It shows how he wasn't keen on his job. He should know better.”I arch my brow, unable to bear the nonsense that

  • In Love With My Bodyguard    Chapter Twenty-seven

    *Knox*A kiss from Kara didn't feel unexpected to me, but I do not know what he'd expectations must be with that kiss, and I know I'm not ready to be in a relationship with her or anyone so I wouldn't want to make her think there's something where I don't want there to be anything within us. I kiss her back gently but avoid kissing her deeply. “What's going on?” Kara moves away from me and asks.“Why?” I act like I didn't know she was asking why I am acting all distant with her. “Why are you acting like I'm forcing myself on you? Don't you want to be here as well?” I can barely see her face, but I know she wasn't in a good mood with how she grumbles. “You keep distancing yourself as I try to lean in. I don't want to be here anymore. Just take me back to the camp.” She nags.I knew I couldn't do that, and if I tried that, it would make things worse between us. I hold her by the chin and pull her face close to mine, “Is that why you're speaking to me like that?” I say, using my othe

    *Knox*Kara gently follows after me, tapping the body of the combat vehicle, which begins to move after she does.“Why don't I feel connected to everyone anymore? Is there something that I don't know? They don't seem to respect me as they used to. I can read it in their faces.”Kara turns to me, her eyes glaring firmly. What I was saying doesn't seem relevant to her. “You've been away for far too long. What do you expect? Every time we tell you the next move we thought of and planned that it should work well in destroying Marcus and all that he has, you keep telling us to wait till another time, or you tell us you don't think that's necessary at the moment, or you tell us you don't buy the idea of Tessa taking the pain for Marcus. You've stopped being on our side since you started working for Marcus. Better put, since you met Tessa.”I arch my brows at her in sheer disappointment. “What do you mean since I met Tessa?"She scoffs, “What don't I mean? Look at how you protected her toni

    *Knox*What I feared from happening finally did as I saw Dwayne walking over to Marcus with a knife in his hands. All that came to my mind was to ensure the safety of Tessa and Marin first. I know he isn't going to make it to Marcus because of how many bodyguards surround him.I warned Kara that Dwayne isn't fit to see Marcus face-to-face because the pain Marcus causes him is too recent for him not to act out of grief. “Let's move. Now!” I push Tessa and Marvin, who were frightened already at that sight, towards the room, shielding them with my body. While we approach the room, I catch sight of Kara as she watches me move them out of the main hall that is now filled with confusion.My earbuds vibrate. I leave it ringing till I successfully lock both Marin and Tessa into the room. Knowing that no one could access it unless they opened the door. “Knox, I'm scared,” Tessa says. I know she worries more about the safety of Marcus despite how much she insists on hating him.“Is Marcus g

  • In Love With My Bodyguard    Chapter Twenty-four

    *Tessa*Marin stretches some diamond earrings for me. The ones I had told her I liked, and she said they were her mom's.“Really?” Excitement fills my heart at the thought of how beautiful it will look on me.Knox bangs the door. “Two minutes.”Marin hurries and helps with putting the diamond on. I look at the mirror, feeling so beautiful already.Marin pats a foundation on my face and adjusts it till it sits properly.“Let's quickly get this done.” She lines my lips and applies lipstick to them before greasing them with gloss. “That's enough. Let's get going.” Knox opened the door and let himself into the room.His jaw drops as he pauses. He seems completely swayed by my looks. I hadn't seen him awestruck by something before. Marin walks up to him and startles him, “We are running late!” He shakes as he comes back to reality and nods slowly. “Yeah, you look very nice.”I was expecting something more with the expression he wore on his face but it doesn't matter anyway.We head out

  • In Love With My Bodyguard    Chapter Twenty-three

    *Tessa*Marin insists I should go with Knox to the party if I didn't want to lose him as my bodyguard. I don't know why she's keen on supporting only Knox and she doesn't like to think of how Wes may feel.“I'm not saying you shouldn't spend time with Wes, but I know the decision you're about to make now is one that you will continue to regret making. I don't think Knox deserves to be treated the way you're treating him.”“How have I been treating him? Can't you see he's just like my brother, Marcus? It's always about what they want me to do.”Marin rolls her eyes. I can tell she's frustrated. “Don't you see? Knox is different. He isn't trying to force you to do anything, but for him to keep his job, he has to follow what Marcus says he should do. And you know what he said is right. If he doesn't get you there, your brother will surely find those who will add it won't be a nice outcome. You know your brother.”I can't believe I'd have to deal with this again. I had made up my mind tha
