Skai’s POV

Chatters of the two horsemen rippled in the air as I walked towards the hallway. The door was opened a fraction and I caught the side view of Tillard and his partner - Giovanni Auder. The office is large, almost four times bigger compared to mine.

I shortened my steps and trudged closer. And thank goodness, I was on low heels.

Truth be told, I just wanted to submit a file to the financ department. It was a coincidence - a lucky one.

I had walked past the office, about to turn to the corner when their voices grew louder, forcing me to eavesdrop, the corridor was empty. I flattened against the wall like a picture frame, wishing my body could blend into the wall. I closed an eye as if it increased the intensity of sound and titled my head forward. Anyone could walk in on me but my curiosity overwhelmed my senses.

There is nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head.

  • In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard    Chapter 105

    ~Skai The air felt too heavy to breathe in. The whole thing reeked of things I don't even know. I've been in this situation. My mind whirled back to how I got there. After the meeting and the incident in the car. I peeled my eyes open, searching every corner. It looked like a room in a house—a large and strange room. I wasn't tied up; I was seated on a single sofa placed by the wall. Someone opened the door and entered. I looked up, and my gaze met Carlo, walking towards me with a smile. It wasn’t just a smile, a victorious one as if he just gained something. Probably me. My eyes widened. “Carlo” My voice came out hoarse, but I cleared my throat. He walked closer and sat by the bed. “Have you forgotten when I said no one would have you except me?” He leaned in, his eyes meeting mine. “Did you kidnap me, Carlo?” I gritted my teeth, nose flared, rage brewing up inside me. “Yes, my queen. Because you're mine.” He said, his voice deep and possessive, as if he had every rig

    ~Skai A lone tear ran down Margot's cheeks; she pulled back the stool, then stood up. “We'll talk later, Skai,,” she said, her voice cracking at the edges. I didn't say a word. I just nodded. She walked past me and left the kitchen. I watched her retreating figure; her white-gray short hair bounced with every step. My heart tightened. — “To Bloom restaurant, Tom,” Juliano said, voice calm and soft. Every while, he'd check my face. If I wasn't nervous or if I needed enough time to process things. The smile never left his face—the joy that I was letting him into my personal space. I wanted him to be involved in a few aspects of my life. “Okay, boss” Tom nodded. I could only see the back from his head from where we were seated. I glanced back a bit, feeling someone's eyes on me. My gaze met Zack seated behind us, eyes filled with disdain, and irritation. There was something about him. I'd told Juliano once but he said Zack has been his bodyguard for years. I didn't push.He

    ~Skai “No, no.” The words rushed out of my mouth, even though I hated it. The atmosphere became awkward, and I distracted them with a little laugh, revealing my teeth. “What are you saying?” Juliano's eyes morphed into something else, making my chest tight. I wanted to withdraw my statement and say something else - less hurtful and meaningful. What I said was true; we were nothing. Just friends that found their way back to each other, and one was overprotective of the other. I wanted Juliano, I found my solace in him. Sometimes, it seemed Juliano was just showing a soft part of him. But it was something more. Something raw, intentional, and real. The way he looks at me sweeps me off my feet. Like I was a mini god he wanted to worship. “Sophia,” Allysia touched me, snapping me out of trance. Worry flickered beneath her smiling face. “Come on. You don't just zone out like a robot.” She patted my cheeks. “Let’s go.” She pulled me up the chair. I didn't resist. I

    ~Skai My breath hitched, and my lips trembled slightly. I frowned, trying to process his words. I didn't know what to say. “How do you mean?” I said, my voice was low, despite the unease rushing down my spine. “He came to the agency, Enzo, to find you and gave some shitty stories to the founders. We said we lost contact with you … few days after you went to the BER Corp.” Everything I covered or even buried, the wind had dug them out, and I just had to deal with it. They knew my real background, but I'd still fight for what’s mine. “What did Giovanni say?” My words pierced through the phone, dripping with irritation. “I wasn't aware, Enzo.” His voice charged with sincerity, and I know he'd not lie to me. I paused for a bit. “I need your help. Can we meet?” I said, my my voice dropping almost to a whisper. “At your convenient time,” he said. Without a reply, I ended the call and dropped the phone on the bed. My eyes glued to the phone as if answers were buried in i

    ~SkaiMy pretty eyes peeled open. Sometimes, I'd take pictures of it, just to admire its color. I pressed on the alarm clock beside me. “What time is it?”“The time is 7:40.”Fuck, I almost jumped out of the bed. I woke up quite late. My nerves calmed, reminding me I wasn’t in Giovanni’s House. Uncle didn't disrupt my sleep; he went out to work every morning but never allowed me to assist.He'd always say, “I saved you to take care of you, not to make you work. You're not a servant.”Only the sound of the door woke me up every morning, or the cock crows in the neighborhood.I dragged myself up the bed groggily, hoping to wipe my face with water. A little bell rang by the door. I paused, trying to figure out what it was. I moved closer to the door, hesitating.Then, answered.“Who is there?”“We have something for you, ma'am.” A female voice answered from the other side, and I opened up.She bowed slightly, two large boxes beside her.“I’m the fashion stylist. Mr. Juliano asked to br

    SkaiAllysia moved closer and passed me her phone, showing me Giovanni’s picture. I'd never seen a picture of him; he doesn't use social media. I wasn't certain whether I should reply to her in the kitchen. If it'd distract Margot or not.I preferred Margot feeding me his details at her convenient time, not forced or rushed.I looked up at her and smiled faintly.“He's the one.” I winked and tilted my head slightly, signalling to address it later. Different dishes surrounded the table, everybody selecting whatever they wished. Juliano sat across from me. I didn't want to join them, but Mr. Bernard asked me to.Rich folks dot like strangers eating in the same dining room with them. I picked up my spoon t Juliano's eyes met mine, and our gaze locked. The spoon was beginning to get heavy between my fingers when I noticed we'd stared for too long.I swallowed and focused on my food, my eyes grazed around the room to check if no one caught us. His lips didn't move as if he wanted to sa
