Skai’s POV

The building looked old and dirty. It was located on a lone street. Workers should have good accommodation, but reverse was the case here. The employers didn't care about the health and safety of the workers. The manager even mentioned that she doesn't know where Grace lives.

The black van was packed in front of the building. It gave full certainty that we were at the right place.

“Six hotels, seven days a week”

“I pick them up at 9am and drop them off at the end of the shift,” the driver explained, he looked innocent.

The entrance was surrounded by overgrown flowers and trees that were almost the same height as the roof.

“Let's try not to overwhelm them.” The officer opened the door.

The front door opened to a large room. The house smelt of stale food and cold coffee. The walls were plastered with old newspapers and posters that were peeling off already. Each poster was better than the last.

Standing in the house, I was ten per cent fulfilled and ninety per cent hopeful

    Skai’s POV The sun slipped quietly through the thin white curtain, forming golden streaks on the bedspread, and a few rays scattered on the floor. The whole appearance gave the room a soft glow.The hotel felt a bit like home. Giovanni’s house was the exact opposite. The corners had seen more blood spills, like somewhere humans weren't supposed to live. I missed my apartment. I had slept like a log without any feeling of attack at midnight.I walked freely without guards armed loaded and cocked rifles. No sitting behind the monitors, checking for strange movements from Luca's men. For the short while, I felt peace. Just for the meantime. There were dogs growling like they craved human meats.I ripped my eyes open; the first thing that came to my mind was my last mission. I've never tried it, and it felt like a test. One that could cost my life.The world is not a wish-granting factory, and no one would fulfil all of my wishes. I would have liked to stay back in Egypt. To grant these

  • In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard    Chapter 60

    Skai’s POV An eerie feeling caught up with me. No matter how I pretend not to notice it.I adjusted the scope and peered through the long-range lens, once more searching the sea of faces. My attention landed on the centre of attraction: the customs officers by the water, all stationed at the pier. A man leaned toward a woman with brunette hair, speaking into her ear.It was a rooftop with a direct view of the sea. The fact that Giovanni has everything accurate even in his absence remained a mystery.A delusional part of me expected Matteo to walk up the stairs with his bright smile, stretching his hands forward in request for the binoculars. Or offering to assist me with the footage. I had concluded that no one would help me with the shipments. Maybe it'd be more secretive that way, even though I can't tamper with his shipments. There must be other ways.I scanned onwards; they all looked strange. Of course, this wasn't Italy. Where I knew the officers that work for us. Boss said he

  • In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard    Chapter 59

    Skai’s POV Sitting behind the desk with my hands placed on my lap, I had arrived there late and hadn't seen Grace confess her crimes – as a recruiter. The female cop stared; forgetting to ask for my ID. “Grace's journal was translated, and she was calculating the amount of debt she was owing. There's a photo of a close friend and her. She isn't a recruiter, just the head of workers. Her plan was to relocate to Egypt; they seized her passports and phones. None of them could communicate with their families. According to her, Frank gets a percentage from their wages, and she only gets to save peanuts monthly.” Her words tallied, and I nodded. Then a brief silence; neither of us talked. The name clicked instantly. Whenever I figured I was almost maintaining eye contact, I switched to the notes on the table. “What country did she travel from?” “Umm, Italy” A little smirk played on my lips. With doubt and anxiety gripping my chest, I knew I'd have to be blatantly honest if I

    Skai’s POV The large metal doors of the elevator heaved apart in slow motion. The moment they closed again, my face relaxed into a blank stare. I pressed the ground floor button. The elevator dinged, and the metal door closed, clinking. When the doors parted, I marched to the reception. It was early, and there were just a few people around.“I need to see the manager.” I growled. The receptionist who was going through sign-in documents behind the desk stood up.“Good morning, Ma. You have to calm down and tell me what the issue is.”How was I supposed to calm down when my phone was stolen?“I need to see the manager now.” I slammed my fist on the table, and the lady shrieked.“Okay, ma'am, the manager resumes around 9. Could you please wait until she's back?”“Shit,” I cursed, my hand still on the desk as I looked around. Walking to chair opposite the desk, I sat down and tapped my feet against the ground, making my legs shake.I moved closer, my chest rising and falling with clench

  • In Love With My Disguised Bodyguard    Chapter 56

    Skai’s POV Giovanni handed me a brown envelope. My heart paused as I removed the single sheet, staring. It said I was travelling to Egypt to control his shipments. My work is taking me overseas. Crazy!My chronicles have always wrapped around the states and Italy. I stood as he and Keller sat on the sofa, their elbows on the armrest. He has black hair and a less-built body, contradicting Giovanni’s appearance. His relaxed demeanour said he was comfortable with the mansion.“All the information of how you'd operate is in there.” He pointed at the envelope in my hand.“Are you sure you can do this?” Keller tilted his head, studying my reaction. He sounded like there was something else to the single paper.“She'll do it,” Giovanni snapped.“All the preparation has been made, Sophia.”“Okay, boss,” I nodded.As if planned, He tapped Keller, and they disappeared into one of the corridors behind me. Leaving me on my feet, I stared at the empty sofa and saw a bunch of keys. I looked around
