"What took you so long?" Julian said, grabbing Elena's arm a bit roughly. He craned his head into the restroom, as if searching for someone hiding inside. Then his eyes scanned the area around them.

Elena yanked her arm free from Julian's grasp, glaring at her husband's actions.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Elena snapped, annoyed.

Julian didn't answer, still eyeing Elena with suspicion, scr

    Julian moaned in his sleep, shifting his position. His head throbbed with a dull ache, making him wince and forcing him awake."Elena, please get me a drink," he groaned.Silence.Julian turned to his side and found the bed empty, the sheets cold. Instantly, his eyes shot open, and he sat up.Ignoring the worsening throb in his head, Julian threw back the covers and stood, walking towards the bedroom door. Outside the room were the living area and a small bar, but his wife was nowhere to be seen. Suspicion and anger immediately surged in his chest. It was still the dead of night, so where was Elena?Just as his hand was about to open the main door, he heard the sound of another door opening behind him. He turned.Elena emerged from the bedroom, a confused look on her face."Where are you going? Still drunk enough to be sleepwalking like that?" Elena teased with a small laugh.Julian's face flushed. He pulled his hand back from the doorknob and turned around."Where have you been?" he

Elena snapped, annoyed.Julian didn't answer, still eyeing Elena with suspicion, scrutinizing her face for even the slightest change. This made Elena weary."I went to the restroom to fix my makeup so the bruises from your hand would stay covered. Satisfied?!" she shot back irritably.Julian's eyes widened. He grabbed Elena's arm again and dragged her to a more deserted part of the room, shoving her against the wall."Don't you talk nonsense!" he hissed, his voice strained.Elena scoffed. "I'm just stating the facts," she replied curtly, then winced slightly from the pain in he

    The party was a lively affair. After the official signing by Julian, the event continued with mingling over dinner and music.At the party, Evander quietly became the center of attention, especially among the female guests. His demeanor was natural, like any other guest, not revealing that he was a bodyguard. He blended in with effortless and casual skill.Even Julian himself felt a little intimidated by him."You're going a bit overboard with him!" Julian commented with an annoyed tone, watching Evander being swarmed by female office employees at the next table.Elena chuckled. "Are you jealous?" she teased.Julian rolled his eyes in boredom. "Of what?!" he retorted, annoyed.Elena let out a small laugh at his response. Her eyes then fell on Evander. There was a certain satisfaction in seeing her Captain shining so brightly. A private pride swelled within her, knowing that Evander's heart belonged to her.Julian himself was smiling secretly. He signaled to a beautiful girl he had ins

Evander, of course, was also included.Elena sat with Julian, but her gaze could drift to Evander, who was seated behind them."Have you chosen a dress, darling?" Julian asked.Elena briefly lowered her eyes, breaking her gaze with Evander. She then turned to face Julian."I have," Elena replied, locking her eyes with his.Julian frowned suspiciously and turned his head to look behind him. But the seat there was empty.Evander was no longer there.Julian refocused on Elena. "Do you think your bodyguard needs a new suit as well?" he remarked with a smirk, gently swirling the wine in his glass.Elena scoffed. "Isn't the impending jet lag intoxicating enough for you, that you're already drinking wine?" she retorted, ignoring his question.This enraged Julian, who felt ignored. In a single motion, the man lunged forward, grabbing Elena's face and clamping

    Following the incident at Mountain, Evander guarded Elena with heightened vigilance. He did not want a repeat of the same event, and so he could not let his guard down.

The man immediately drove to the villa, arriving close to midnight.At that time, Elena was unwilling to sleep and just sat curled up on the sofa, with Evander keeping watch over her."How is she? Is she hurt?" Julian asked as soon as he entered the villa."Miss is fine, just still shaken and frightened," Evander replied.Julian was silent, his gaze drifting to the sofa where Elena was lying. He walked over and knelt beside the chair, his hand gently stroking Elena's head."Sweetheart, are you hurt?" he asked.Elena only shook her head in response.

Elena asked, looking at Julian.Julian frowned, not understanding.Elena sighed. "In just a few days, I've faced two death threats, and in those two days, I've seen three deaths right before my eyes
