THE POPSTAR’S BODYGUARD

The SpotlightNEO’S POV The crowd roared. Shouting my name on top of their voices. You would think the life of a pop star was all fun and games until you stood on stage exhausted, but still expected to perform. The stadium was packed and sold out. Everyone wanted to see the popular Neo who topped the charts and broke music records perform. And I gave them what they paid for. Until I locked eyes with someone in the crowd. He stood still, too still, watching, unmoving just watching me intently. A chill ran down my spine and my voice hitched. My band quickly covered me. That was part of a celebrity’s life that no one told you about. No mistakes were allowed. One mistake could cost you your entire lifetime. And I was no exception. I ignored the eyes boring holes in my skin and continued doing what I was good at. Making my fans happy. The concert finally came to an end and I quickly stepped off the stage, sweat sticking to my skin, heart still hammering from the crowd’s roar. My assista

Unspoken GlancesDANIEL’S POVNeo Vale was going to be the death of me. Fguratively and literally. It had only been a week since I started working for the golden boy everyone adored, and I couldn’t even blame them. For some unknown reason, I’d already grown accustomed to his messy, dirty-blonde hair in the mornings, the strands sticking up in every direction, and the way his emerald-green eyes seemed to stare into nothingness when he was lost in thought. I hated that I noticed. I hated that my focus slipped to things that had nothing to do with my job.When my agency offered me this contract, I was hesitant. It had been two years since my last assignment. A clean, successful finish with a client who never gave me trouble. Neo Vale was the exact opposite of that. He made it his personal mission to test me. When I said “right,” he went left. When I said “left,” he went right. And he enjoyed every second of it.Now, we were in the hotel’s private gym. I stood off to the side, arms cros

NEONo EscapeDaniel Ross was an interesting man. I liked teasing him, riling him up for reasons I couldn’t explain. He always carried that strict, professional look, and I couldn’t wait to be the one to break his cool.I didn’t like his overbearing attitude or the way he made my life miserable with his rules. That’s why I decided to take matters into my own hands. It had been too long since I’d had any fun, and tonight I planned on sneaking out to a friend’s birthday party at midnight. My schedule was free for once, and I wasn’t about to waste it.Daniel’s room was right next to mine, so I’d have to wait until all was quiet before I slipped out.“You’re not going to keep standing there, right?” I asked when Daniel followed me to the entrance of my room.“Just want to see you get inside before I leave,” he shot back.“You might as well sleep next to me, Daddy,” I teased.“Wouldn’t be a problem,” he responded without missing a beat.“Seriously? Now you want to sleep with me? That’s abs

All Eyes On UsDaniel’s POVI stood in front of his door, my hand hovering over the wood like it might burn me if I touched it again. The silence extended, growing heavier than any shout he could have thrown at me. I’d take anger. I’d take curses. Anything but this quiet that felt like rejection.I dragged a hand through my hair and started pacing the hallway, each step louder than I meant it to be. I had no idea why I was crashing out over an issue as tiny as this. This had never happened with any of my previous clients. I always went to the extreme in ensuring their safety even if it meant settling on their bad books. And I had never given a damn what they thought about me or my methods. Until now.My chest was tight and restless, like something inside me was clawing to get out. Damn it, why did he have to look at me like that before slamming the door in my face? Like I was the one to blame for his lack of freedom.“Think, Ross,” I muttered under my breath, my jaw clenched. I wanted

Roses And Rain Neo’s POV It’s been a week since the birthday party incident and the scandal happened. Vivian had made sure to settle everything and deal with PR. We made a press statement and issued press releases just as Vivian wanted. The press had to be convinced to drop everything and let things return to how they were. The asshole of a bodyguard and I were back to being arch enemies. Just when I thought we were finding mutual grounds, he pulled off the party shit. He thought he was always right and did whatever he wanted. Today was my last day in New York before I continued my world tour. I had decided to visit my sister Lilian at the cemetery before I left. It would have been her birthday today. I was only seven years old then, but I could see her pale body draining out of energy, and sometimes she struggled to breathe. It always made me so sad to see her in that condition. Lilian was the kindest person I knew, even though we were only kids back then. She always looked after
