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.
THE BODYGUARD MY HUSBAND HIRED FOR ME CHAPTER FOURTEEN
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
THE BODYGUARD MY HUSBAND HIRED FOR ME CHAPTER THIRTEEN
LENA’S POVFor the first time in a long time, I woke up without fear sitting heavily on my chest. It wasn’t completely gone. Edward still existed. The mansion was still a cage. Lewis was still watching everything. But something inside me felt… lighter. Hope. Small. Fragile. Dangerous. But real.I sat up slowly in bed, stretching carefully so my ribs wouldn’t hurt too much. The bruises were fading now, turning lighter shades of yellow and brown instead of dark purple. My lip had healed, and the swelling on my face was almost gone.I looked at myself in the mirror and saw something I hadn’t seen in days. Life. Not fear. Not pain. Life. And I knew why. Ethan. His words from yesterday kept replaying in my head. I will get you out of this house. I promise. I go with you.A small smile appeared on my face before I could stop it. I quickly covered my mouth. This was dangerous. Smiling in this house was dangerous. Feeling happy in this house was dangerous. But I couldn’t help it.For the firs
THE BODYGUARD MY HUSBAND HIRED FOR ME CHAPTER TWELVE
ETHAN’S POVI couldn’t take it anymore. Two days. Two whole days of pretending Lena didn’t exist. Two days of watching her walk around the mansion quietly, carefully, like a shadow of herself.Two days of seeing the bruises on her face slowly fade while the sadness in her eyes stayed the same. And it was hurting me every second of it.I stood in the security room, staring at the camera that showed the hallway leading to her bedroom. She had just gone inside. Edward was still at work. Lewis was outside supervising the gate. It was the safest moment I was going to get. My chest tightened. I didn’t think again. I walked out.Her door was slightly open. I knocked softly. “Lena”. Then her voice came out quietly. “Come in.” I pushed the door open and stepped inside. She was sitting on the bed, reading something on her phone, but she looked up immediately when she saw me. Her expression changed. Surprise. Pain. Guarded emotion.“You came,” she said softly. The words hit me harder than anythi

LENA’S POVThe Paris trip ended too quickly. Not in a good way. In the kind of way where everything felt unfinished, broken, and heavy. No closure. No peace. No healing. Just silence. Cold, painful silence.We were heading back home. The private jet was already waiting at the airport, engines hummi
THE BODYGUARD MY HUSBAND HIRED FOR ME CHAPTER TEN
LENA’S POVI woke up in pain. Not the normal pain I had gotten used to. This one was deeper. Heavier. My ribs ached every time I breathed. My arm throbbed. My face felt swollen, tight, like my skin didn’t belong to me anymore.For a moment, I didn’t move. Edward was still asleep beside me, lying pe

LENA’S POVParis looked beautiful at night. Cold air. Golden lights. Quiet streets. Soft music drifting from restaurants and passing cars. It should have felt amazing. Instead, it felt like a cage made of glass.I stood in front of the hotel mirror, adjusting the black dress Edward had chosen for m

LENA’S POVI knew something was wrong the moment Edward called me into his study. He never called me in the afternoon unless it was important. Or dangerous.I stood in front of his desk, my fingers locked together, trying to look calm while my heart beat unevenly in my chest.Edward looked up from
