When Lena Caldwell’s father died, he didn’t just leave behind grief. He left behind debt. Debt owed to Edward Caldwell the most feared man in the city. Marrying Edward was supposed to settle everything. Instead, it trapped Lena in a life she cannot escape. Inside his mansion, every day is controlled by Edward’s rules, his temper, and the silent understanding that Lena belongs to him. Then Edward hires a bodyguard. Ethan Cole is calm, observant, and impossible to intimidate. His job is simple: stay close to Lena and protect her. But Ethan quickly notices the things others overlook the tension in the house, the fear Lena tries to hide, and the bruises that tell a story she never speaks about. Everything changes the night Lena overhears a phone call that shatters her world. Edward didn’t just collect her father’s debt. He murdered him. Now Lena is trapped in a marriage built on lies, and the only person who knows the truth is the man hired to watch her. But trusting Ethan may be the most dangerous decision she has ever made.

THE BODYGUARD MY HUSBAND HIRED FOR ME CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
LENA’S POVThe next morning, Edward was different. Not completely different. Just… calmer. It showed in small things.He didn’t rush out of the bedroom like he usually did. He didn’t ignore me either. He simply got dressed in silence, buttoning his shirt slowly while I sat at the edge of the bed pretending to read my phone.I barely slept the whole night. Every movement he made had kept me awake. Every shift on the bed had made my heart jump. But he never touched me. Not once.When he finished dressing, he picked up his watch and spoke calmly. “You should rest more.” I looked up, surprised. “What?” “You look tired.” I blinked. “I’m fine.” He nodded slightly. “Make sure you eat properly today.” The concern in his voice confused me.Edward walked to the door, then paused. “If you need anything, tell the staff.” Then he left. Just like that. No coldness. No tension. No anger from last night. I sat there for a few seconds, trying to process what had just happened. Edward was never like th

LENA’S POVMoving into Edward’s bedroom felt like walking into a cage and locking the door from the inside. By the time night fell, my things had already been moved. Not by me. By the staff.My dresses now hung neatly inside Edward’s wardrobe, pushed to one side like they were slowly being absorbed into his life. My shoes sat beside his expensive leather pairs. My perfume stood on his dresser, small and out of place among his perfectly arranged items. Nothing in the room belonged to me. Not really. Even the air felt like his.I stood beside the bed, staring at the large mattress that suddenly felt too wide and too close at the same time. This was real. There was no going back to my room. The door opened behind me. Edward walked in.He had changed into a simple black shirt and dark trousers, his sleeves rolled slightly, his expression calm and unreadable. He closed the door and looked around the room. His eyes landed on my things. Then on me.“You settled in,” he said. “I didn’t have

LENA’S POVEdward canceled the event barely an hour before we were supposed to leave. I was already dressed. Makeup done. Hair styled. Shoes on. Purse in my hand. Ready to stand beside him in a crowded room and pretend to be the perfect wife.Instead, a maid knocked gently on my door and said, “Madam, sir said the event will no longer hold.” That was it. No explanation. No apology. Just another sudden decision.I stood in the middle of my room for a long moment, staring at my reflection in the mirror. For some reason, I felt relieved. No fake smiles. No public performance. No holding Edward’s arm while pretending everything was normal.I slowly removed my earrings and placed them on the table. Then my heels. Then I sat down on the bed, exhaling softly. A quiet evening. That was all I wanted. Just one peaceful evening.A knock sounded on my door. Before I could respond, the door opened slightly and Ethan stepped in. “You’re not ready yet?” he asked, then paused when he saw me sitting.

LENA’S POVSomething was wrong. I felt it the moment I walked into the dining room that morning. The air was heavy, tense, like a storm was sitting quietly in the room waiting to explode.Edward sat at the head of the table, a file open in front of him. Lewis stood beside him, straight and calm as always. Ethan stood near the window, silent and expressionless. No one spoke.Even the sound of my heels against the floor felt too loud. “Good morning,” I said softly as I took my seat. Edward didn’t respond. He kept staring at the file in his hand.Lewis glanced at me briefly and nodded politely. “Good morning, Mrs. Caldwell.” “Good morning,” I replied quietly. Ethan didn’t say anything, but his eyes flickered toward me for a second before returning to the window. Edward finally closed the file. The sound echoed in the silent room.“You’ve been here for weeks, Lewis,” Edward said calmly. Lewis nodded. “Yes, sir.” “And you have nothing to show for it.” The words were cold and direct. Lewis

LENA’S POVI knew something was wrong the moment Edward came home early. The house was too quiet. He never comes home before nine. Never.I was in the living room, barefoot on the rug, pretending to read a book I hadn’t turned a page of in twenty minutes. Ethan had left an hour earlier. I could sti

LENA’S POV“Have you eaten today?” Ethan’s voice comes from behind me while I’m standing in the kitchen, staring into the fridge like something might jump out and surprise me. The question is normal. Almost casual. That’s why it unsettles me.“I will,” I say, closing the door. “I’m just… thinking.”

LENA’S POVEdward lets me leave the house on Tuesdays. That’s the rule. Groceries only. In and out. No stops.“You ready?” Ethan asks, already in the car. I sling my bag over my shoulder. “I think so,” I say, sliding in beside him. He glances at me, calm as ever. “You look tense.”I shrug. “I’m jus

LENA’S POVThe first sound that wakes me is the click of Edward’s shoes on marble. My chest tightens immediately.“Up,” he says. Not a request. Not a question. Just the word, sharp and final. I try to ignore the bruises from yesterday but the motion of standing makes every muscle scream. Edward cir
