My Billionaire Bodyguard CHAPTER NINETY NINE
~ISLA~I stood there for a moment after the words left my mouth, my fingers tightening around the strap of my bag as the silence between us stretched in a way that made my chest feel tight.“We need to talk.”It sounded calmer than I felt, steadier than the storm building inside me, but there was no taking it back now. Jaxon didn’t respond immediately. His gaze stayed on me a second too long, like he was trying to measure how serious I was, like maybe he was hoping this was something small he could brush off and move past. It wasn’t.Without a word, he turned and walked into the living room, lowering himself onto the couch with a quiet exhale. The familiarity of the movement unsettled me. It was too normal, too casual, like nothing had changed between us, like I hadn’t spent the entire day trying to make sense of the distance growing between us.I followed him more slowly this time, my steps heavier, my thoughts louder, and sat across from him. The space between us felt wider than it
My Billionaire Bodyguard CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT
~JAXON/RONAN~I heard the door before I saw who it was.For a split second, my chest tightened with something dangerously close to hope, and I moved faster than I should have, my steps quick, almost impatient as I reached for the handle.Isla.That was the only thought in my head.Maybe she came back early. Maybe she wanted to talk. Maybe—I pulled the door open.And the moment I saw who was standing there, everything in me shut down just as quickly.“Of course it’s you,” I muttered, stepping aside without bothering to hide the irritation in my voice.Louis walked in like he owned the place, calm as ever, completely unfazed by my mood.“You look like hell,” he said, glancing at me once before closing the door behind him.I ran a hand through my hair, already annoyed. “What do you want?”He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he studied me, his eyes sharp in that quiet way of his that always made it feel like he was seeing more than I was saying.“Serena told me Isla showed up upset,”
My Billionaire Bodyguard CHAPTER NINETY SEVEN
~ISLA~The moment the door to Serena’s apartment closed behind us, the tension I had been holding in finally started to unravel.Her space always felt different—warmer, quieter, like the world couldn’t reach me here. Maybe that was why I didn’t even try to hold it together this time.She led me to the couch, her hand still wrapped around mine, and the second I sat down, I felt the weight of everything press down on me all over again.Serena didn’t rush me.She slipped off her heels, tucked one leg under herself, and turned toward me fully, her expression soft but focused.“Start from the beginning,” she said gently.I let out a slow breath, staring down at my hands for a moment before I began.“It didn’t just start today,” I admitted. “I think… I think it’s been building for a while.”She didn’t interrupt, just nodded slightly, urging me to continue.“I told you about Stacy, right?” I asked.Her brows pulled together. “The one at the café?”I nodded. “Yeah. That day changed something
My Billionaire Bodyguard CHAPTER NINETY SIX
~ISLA~I woke up slowly, the kind of slow that usually came with comfort, warmth, and the quiet security of knowing someone was right beside me.But this time, the moment I shifted under the covers, something felt… wrong.My hand moved instinctively across the bed, searching for him, expecting to feel the familiar warmth of his body or even the slight movement that meant he was awake but pretending not to be.Instead, my fingers met cold sheets.Completely untouched.My eyes opened fully then, a small frown forming as I pushed myself up slightly, scanning the room as if he might just be standing somewhere I hadn’t noticed.“Jaxon?” I called softly, my voice still thick with sleep.No answer.The silence stretched longer than it should have, and that quiet unease began to settle deeper in my chest.I threw the covers off and stood up, glancing toward the bathroom first, then the closet, as if there was a logical explanation I was just missing. When I found nothing, I stepped out into t
My Billionaire Bodyguard CHAPTER NINETY FIVE
~SERENA~By the time I stepped out of the fashion department building, I already knew he would be there.He had been there every single day.Waiting.Like it was routine.Like it was his job.And somehow, that only made things worse.Sure enough, the moment I walked past the glass doors, my eyes landed on him—leaning casually against his car, phone in hand, completely unbothered by the stares he was getting from literally everyone walking by.Including my colleagues.I didn’t have to look behind me to know they were watching.I could feel it.“Of course he’s here again…”“She really has him wrapped around her finger…”“I told you, she’s not normal.”Their voices from earlier echoed faintly in my head, and I suppressed a sigh as I walked toward him.Louis looked up the moment he sensed me, his expression softening immediately.“Hey,” he said, pushing himself off the car.I forced a small smile. “Hi.”He stepped closer, like he always did, like there was no hesitation in him at all, his
My Billionaire Bodyguard CHAPTER NINETY FOUR
~JAXON/RONAN~I knew something was off the moment I stepped into the house.It was too quiet.Not the comfortable kind of quiet that came with rest, but the kind that made you pause for a second and listen a little harder, like your instincts were trying to tell you something.My gaze swept across the living room—and then I saw her.Isla was curled up on the couch, her sketchbook resting loosely against her chest, a pencil still caught between her fingers. The television cast a soft glow across her face, the volume low enough to be nothing more than background noise.She had fallen asleep like that.Waiting.For me.Something in my chest tightened at the sight.I walked toward her slowly, my steps quieter than usual, as if I was afraid that even the smallest sound would break whatever fragile peace she had found.When I got close enough, I stopped.For a moment, I just… looked at her.Her brows were slightly furrowed even in sleep, like her mind refused to fully rest. A strand of her

~JAXON/RONAN~“He's not my man. He rejected me, remember?” Isla crawled and Serena gasped.“Oh yeah” Then she narrowed her eyes on me. “How dare you reject my sweetheart? Do you know how many men here would kill to be in your shoes? Who here wants a one night stand with my friend?” She announced an

~JAXON/RONAN~ I turned towards her and my breath hitched.“Uhh no… Mr Jaxon was just giving me pointers on how to avoid such a thing from happening again. Right, Mr Jaxon?” I heard Louis say but at that moment, I couldn't speak.My eyes slid down Isla's body, loving the way the gown hugged her i

~ISLA~The mall was loud and bright with people walking all around as we walked in.A smile adorned my face as I looked around. I always loved the mall for some reason.It was like an escape whenever I was here.“What are we doing here?” Jaxon asked, turning my attention to him.“I'm getting you ne

~JAXON/RONAN~ “Boss!”I didn't open my eyes as I laid my head on the cold concrete wall behind me.“Boss!” I let out a groan as soon as I heard Louis’ voice from down the hall, echoing through the cell walls.“Boss…”“Can you fucking shut your mouth. I'm not your boss outside, remember?” I mutte
