In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 14
Juliano's POV My door knocks upon me as I stand up from my bed. It must be my father or Margot, no one knocks my door unnecessarily.I opened the door and my father came into view holding a glass of water. He prefers water to any liquid. Walking back to my room, he follows behind as the guards bow and stay by the door.Entering the room, I sat on the bed, removing my slippers.Still clutching his glass of water, he sits on the sofa across from me. One of his arms flings to the back of the sofa. His legs are apart. He appears relaxed, nonchalant even, as he twirls the water in his glass.“You are thirty, Juliano”. He said looking at me, laying emphasis on the ‘thirty’. I already know where this was heading.“I'm aware, you're planning a surprise party I guess”, acting nonchalant, I walked over to my table picking up a glass of wine as if I didn't know what he was about to say.I've been dodging this conversation for months. Returning to my position, I sat down facing him.“You're th

Juliano's POV Few days later, I was prepared for the day's work. The gatekeeper was by the gate, ready to open up. I was stepping out of the mansion and the guard collected my briefcase and bowed. I was heading straight to the car as the guard opened the door waiting for me to step in.I was hearing a familiar voice arguing with the gatekeeper, “Let me in, let me in”. Who might that be?. Then, I looked up and saw Aver. She rushed to me wrapping her hands on my arm “Juliano, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. ..“Too late to say I love you”. I shook my head. The ache returns like a wave crashing on a forgotten shore.I ordered the female workers to hold her back as I entered the car. The tires squealed as the driver pulled through the gate.“She must not enter this compound again”, I said to all the workers present at the scene.On my way to the office, I whirls the side glass down as fresh air hits my nostrils and I breathe as Iclosed my eyes for seconds ,enjoying the moment. It really h

Juliano's POV “This is Rome American Hospital. Miss Aver was rushed to the emergency department for attempted suicide and drug overdose.”Rushing out of my study, I went to my room and changed into shorts and a jersey. Picking up the intercom, I called Tom, my driver.“Meet me downstairs, we need to go somewhere”I went downstairs calling two of my bodyguards on night duty. They came out of their quarters, meeting me at the entrance.“Head to Rome American hospital”, Tom nodded. There's no time for questions.Hospitals were supposed to be sterile, not suffocating. The strong whiff of disinfectants welcomed me as I pushed through the double doors. I didn't want to be here. I've been here before, memories of my mother’s last days flashed through me. She was in a private ward on the second floor.The whole situation was hazy - she was rushed to the hospital for overdosing, and I was the next person to call. It sounded unreal.As I walked through the hallway of the third floor. The soun

Skai’s POV The LIAS company looked regal from the outside- Gothic design with intricate stone carving. Its facade is clad in sleek glass and steel. A towering skyscraper dominating the skyline with security men as if they were guarding the whole of Italy. Inside, is just a group of monsters cladded in polished suits with fake smiles.The air inside felt heavy- as if secrets were stitched into the walls. The company went on a break after the event, it was my first appearance. I adjusted my blazers and entered. It felt like stepping into another world- the lion's den. My legs felt unsteady beneath me. My head held high. Once I'm in the centre of the reception, the chit chat withers away and almost everyone’s attention zeroed on me.‘She’s too forward for a new employee’‘She’s beautiful and smart’‘Carlo is always around her’The last sentence hit me in the ribs. Carlo hovers over me like a looming danger, a force not to be reckoned with. His obsession increases by every sunrise. I'm

Skai’s POV The room was silent except for the sound of the air conditioning. Carlo walked into the office, his hands in his jacket, looking more relaxed, like a man who has regained control after losing it completely. I stole glances in the direction of the drawer, if it was properly closed, if there was no paper on the floor, a surge of relief rushed through me as I heaved silently. His presence can't be mistaken even if he remains silent.The thought of the document lingers at the back of my mind. It was for this company. Why are the first pages blank?. I saw black and white when I was rushing to return it to the drawer. I coughed to break my thoughts.He sat across from me; his expression was unreadable, but his tone came up with something softer.“Sorry for taking so long.”It's fine; I need to get to work, I said, standing up.“I'll ask Bianca to help; she's your friend, right?. So, sit down.” There's something to his voice that makes me want to react. Possessiveness. I obeyed,

Juliano's POV “He said he'd send the CCTV of the street where the incident happened. I provided him with the time and date. Hopefully, he might be able to get the plate number of the car.”, Zack said.“Okay, thank you", he bowed and left.Zach has been one of my trusted bodyguards, but he's at home most times. I asked him to contact the FBI agent, I wasn't in the right frame of mind. Police makes information travel fast. To avoid public announcements.I sat down with my back rested in the sofa, my legs on the centre table and one of my hands hanging at the back of the sofa. There's a threat to my life. I already ordered for few more bodyguards from the agency. Who were the men that came to the office the other day? and this, what if they're the same set of people?I heard approaching footsteps and raised my head, it was Margot rushing down from the stairs without a glass of water. She looked worried “Ohh, my son. How do you feel?, she said touching my forehead. Why did you have to g

Skai’s POV “I don't know how it got there. I don't know anything about it," but my pleas fell on the wrong ears. I didn't check the bookshelf. They were not ready to listen. What options are left when the suspect is caught with irrefutable proof? Then, the suspect becomes the culprit.“You need to follow us to the CEO's office, ma'am." They waited and closed the door behind us as they led me out like a criminal going to court for a hearing.I stared at my hands as I walked, imagining handcuffs on me. That was the only thing that distinguished me from a criminal. The sound of their boots filled my ears, and I couldn't think about anything.The door opened, and that was when my attention snapped back to the present. The CEO's office was like a museum exhibit. Everything was in its place. The desk was made of glass, and there was no paper or clutter to be seen. The doors were adorned with diplomas and awards, and the shelves were lined with books on business strategy. Awards bagged wit

Skai’s POV When your opponent charges for the attack, you’re supposed to stay low, not crash with him headfirst. You’re the only one who’ll get hurt. Aver walked past me, and her eyes glinted with mischief. I headed straight to my office. It was still in a mess.Picked up my bag and headed to the ground floor. Everywhere was empty. I moved past the reception. The outside greeted me with fresh air, the cold evening sky stretching above me. I flagged down a cab and headed home. Everything in my mind was proving my innocence within three days. I didn't know if it would start counting tomorrow. It'd better be. With everything the CEO said to me, there's no way I'm going to stop myself from proving them wrong. I should have known she was coming back at me. She doesn't like anyone getting close to Carlo. I wasn't ready for her dramas. Obsessed, bitch. He was just a pawn in my scheme. Nothing else. Nothing more. Two days later, I was in my office staring at the ceiling, fluorescent li

In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 37
Skai’s POV He was the last person I expected to meet there. He's everywhere, like the asphyxiating smoke in his eyes. He walked closer with quick strides. He's a foreshadowing of my misfortune – just as I had sensed that it would be. I was frozen to where I was like a kid that had his lip stuck to a pump handle in the wintertime. I tried to scrub my mind; there was nothing. I struggle with excuses whenever I'm caught off guard. “Sophia, what are you doing here?” He asked with his facial expression demanding an answer. He was watching me with an unnerving focus like he’s a ravenous predator salivating after his prey. He looked up the name of the restaurant. “This is Bella Vita, Sophia.” I didn't know what to say. It was like my tongue was stuck. After talking to Juliano like a soldier giving war orders. “I came to have lunch with an old friend.” I wasn't really telling a lie at that moment, just a changed dynamic. “It's an expensive restaurant, not for the middle class. Not a

Skai’s POV I entered the restaurant. It was the same place as the last one. It was late afternoon now; only a few customers were scattered at the table. I went straight to the reservation area after informing the waitress. I was still in my office wear. There was no need to change my outfit since it was urgent. I wasn't even thinking straight about what he might want to talk about. Whatever the matter might be, he sounded really different. Did he find out anything? I don't think so. There was not a bit of fury in his voice. So what might it be? The thought had been peeping into my mind at intervals like a kid playing a hide-and-seek game. It could run through my mind like a flash whenever I was busy, and then it's gone. I walked into the room, unprepared for what was about to happen. Maybe he was about to order me not to return to the LIAS. He sat down in the dimly lit room close to the end. There was no drink in front of him. My heart skipped, as it seemed to be a serious meeting
In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 35
Skai’s POV I was seated in the conference room close to the edge of the rectangular table, holding a notepad and a copy of the business proposal. I was torn between anxiety and expectancy. It was the room where Tillard held the meeting with Mr Juliano. The room that triggered my first decision, where I met Tillard again after years.Giovanni walked into the room with a cold expression, flanked by two bodyguards with grim expressions as they gave a curt nod and returned to the door. Giovanni walked over to the head of the table and sat. He has always shown the upper hand, and even Tillard respects him. There might be other reasons, or maybe because he's a mafia leader. Their demeanour demands respect.I was expecting Carlo to show up, but he didn't.Tillard walked in minutes later, accompanied by the secretary. He looked straight at my angle without having to look about for me, as though he had expected me to take that particular seat and no other, although many chairs were vacant.
In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 34
Juliano's POV I was in the living room when I saw my father approaching, clutching his glass of water as usual as he sat beside me. I looked up at him with an undecipherable expression. The usual was about to happen. After giving me the 3-month ultimatum, he has been waiting for the time to end until he takes the whole work into his hands.He patted my shoulders and crossed his legs.“Cindy is in town; I planned a date for you over the weekend," he said as a smirk rested on his lips. He paused to let it sink in, and I waited, feeling a numb, violent outrage.“It’s not time yet, Father, and you're already hooking me up,” looking at him with a grim expression.“I'm not; it's a date.”He continued “You know, get to know her. That was how I and your mother started.” Sadness flashed through me. It's been years, but it still hurts like a needle prick in my heart anytime I remember.“A blind date, because I don't know her.” I said, trying my best to change his mind.“You do; it's your shor
In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 33
Skai’s POV The morning air was crisp, sunlight filtering through the half-drawn curtains, casting soft golden streaks across the room. I blinked, adjusting to the light. I could hardly get to sleep, dreaming of revenge. I slept diagonally with my calf hanging off the edge of the bed.I got ready for the day, wearing gym wear and going for my early morning walk. Sometimes, I liked to live in the moment. The thought of Juliano’s words still lingered in the back of my mind. I saw a black Mercedes across the road. I crossed and walked along the street, hearing a honk of a car, but I didn't wait, concluding it wasn't for me. The car slowed down and then sped off.Walking up the path to my front door, I entered and grabbed a bottle of water as I walked upstairs to change. Halfway upstairs, I heard a knock at the door. I crept down the stairs and went to the kitchen to get a knife, dropping my shoes by the kitchen door . Rookie mistake: never leave your firearm where you can't get it. I'
In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 32
Skai’s POV Heat from the late afternoon sun arose from the grey concrete, shimmering like the weary tones of a distant bugle blown upon still midnight air. I moved towards the paved walkway in between the lawns, which looked hostile. They were growing, and I needed to trim it. The green looked sharp. Something white was on my door, and it kept getting clearer as I moved closer. I thought it was an illusionat first. I didn't increase my pace. There was no need to. I thought it was a water bill or something. Something which I don't know about. A white paper was taped to my door with obvious reds visible on the other side. I flipped it over with absolute reluctance, and suddenly, my heart stopped and my lungs tightened. Fear gripped me for a moment as I blinked. If it was Sophia, then the person doesn't know my past, right? A hint of relief settled in me. It read, “ DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE TRESPASSING, DEAR SOPHIA? STAY IN YOUR LANE.” No signature. No trace. The letters were w
In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 31
Skai’s POV I was in the company working and watching, and they thought I was oblivious to everything. Well, not everything. Then, it dawned on me that I'd not filtered the picture. Who was the little girl? Is she still there or dead like Skai? Skai isn't dead. They thought their encrypted documents were safe. After accessing the laptop, I didn't know the next time I'll be able to use it. There are a lot of documents on it. People like that might prefer soft copies. After a few days, the profits skyrocketed, and the marketing department became busier. I wouldn’t take all the credits, but I was the queen in the game. After finding out the information, I was closer to my goals. No, I wasn't. There was a long way to go. A tip of an iceberg. Maria didn't see me as a competitor. She saw me as a partner in business. Like I made work easy for her. Giovanni was seen in the company more frequently. Some workers were filled with hatred and anger. Hiding it was a difficult task. Some walked
In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 30
Skai's POV Carlo strode downstairs with his hair scattered. A sheen of frustration covered his features, and he was hard-faced . Not the face of an innocent person who has just killed someone for the first time. He would have done this countless times. His sleeve rolled up to his arm, revealing his tattoo, and the second one was normal. His first two buttons opened. Of course, there was no blood on his hands. If all killers had blood on their bodies, then most of them would look like vampires. The sentence replayed in my mind, ‘You can ask for a second chance in heaven’. Does he even know if he was going to heaven? If he had caught me, I don't know what he'd have done. I thought Juliano was free; they wanted to use the BER corp to relinquish their dimming glory. On seeing me, he smiled “I didn't know you were here.”I narrowed my eyes at Chiara, and he nodded. “I love your outfit. Care for a dance?” He took my hands and we moved to the rhythm of the music. Chiara's sig
In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard Chapter 29
Skai’s POV Ignoring the background talks, I walked out of the room. I didn't mean to make a scene. Asking for deeper data channels was weird and too straightforward, but you do the right thing at the right time. To your advantage. I looked back at the door, it wasn't where we had the meeting with Juliano held the first day.The elevator dropped me like a shot, and I walked out. I saw Chiara as she moved towards me.“I had a nice time; you could have slept over.”“I can only apologise, work. Have you seen a movie after then?”“No, I've not watched the ghost movie." She laughed revealing her perfect dentition.”We walked together to my office. I didn't want her to come with me, but I had no choice. I opened my door and we entered, but I made sure I studied her; she didn't drop anything.“So, Sophia,” she smiled, realizing how that came out.“I want to go to Carlo’s club tonight.”I didn't react; I already found out he had a club.I was looking at her, expecting the next word she'd say.
