The Bodyguard's Obsession Chapter 62: Reliving the past
NICK~~~"Who exactly did you pay to push you into the road?" I ask with a clear, cold voice. Ryan's expression cracks for a moment, revealing the fear underneath. "I don't know what you're talking about." He says, looking away. "Cut the bullshit, Ryan." I snarl. "I don't believe the crap you told Adriana. You and I know you weren't distracted." I step towards the side of the bed and lean over him, until my face is inches away from his. His eyes flicker with fear, the same fear that has always been constant between us. Ryan had always been scared of me. Even before Amelia was born, when things were not so messed up, he held a kind of respect/fear for me. The fear only drowned out the respect after Amelia's death. I grab his arm suddenly, my fingers digging into his flesh. "Answer me, Ryan!" I yell. "Who pushed you onto the road?" "You're fucking insane!" He snarls back. "Let me go or I'll call the nurse." "Go on, call them. I'm sure they'll like to dig into what really happe
The Bodyguard's Obsession Chapter 61: I hate hospitals
NICK~~~I scoff in annoyance. "I'm the reason you're in here? Grow up, Ryan! It's time you stopped blaming me for every shit that goes down in your messed up life.""You caused this, Nick!" Ryan yells at me. "If you hadn't taken Adriana away from me, this wouldn't have happened.""Ryan, stop it!" Adriana snaps. "Stop blaming Nick for what happened. You messed up. You hurt me...""And you had to date my brother?" Ryan's voice shakes as he argues back. "I wouldn't have cared if you dated someone else. But my brother?"I step towards the bed suddenly, and my sudden move startles both Adriana and Ryan. I lean forward and grip the railings. "You have no fucking business with who she dates. You pushed her right into my arms. So stop acting like you're the bloody victim."Ryan's face turns red with rage. Good. It's exactly what I aimed for. "GET OUT!" He screams. "GET OUT OF MY ROOM!""With pleasure." I storm out of the room, ignoring Adriana as she calls out my name. This was a mistake.
The Bodyguard's Obsession Chapter 60: Guilt
ADRIANA ~~~ Nick drives as fast as he can to St. Martin hospital, while I clutch the seat tightly. The words of the nurse who called rings in my head repeatedly, making me wonder just how hurt Ryan is. Somewhere at the back of my mind, a tiny voice blames me for everything. Maybe if I hadn't cut off Ryan completely, this wouldn't have happened. I try not to dwell much on that voice, but it becomes so loud in my head, driving me to the point of screaming. Nick touches my hand suddenly, jerking me out of my thoughts. I look over at him, and that's when I realize that I'm gripping the arm of the seat tightly. "Are you okay?" He asks. His voice is tinged with worry, and even though he's trying not to show it, I know he's in a state of panic too. Ryan is his brother after all. Despite the enmity between them, it's obvious Nick cares for him. "I just feel guilty." I say softly. He takes my hand and lifts it to his lips. "You have no reason to feel guilty." "Oh but I do, Nick."
The Bodyguard's Obsession Chapter 59: Not as your boyfriend, but as your bodyguard
ADRIANA~~~The other customers in the shop are staring openly at us now, and one guy at the back brings out his phone to record. I try to get Nick's attention, but his gaze is pinned on Hunter, who is also glaring at him."Get out of my way!" Hunter snarls. "Put your hands on her again and you're dead." Nick retorts. "Nick, let's just go." I pull him towards me, but it's like straining against a brick wall. He's unmovable. "Hunter, behave yourself." Caesar intervenes quickly, pulling Hunter away. But Hunter isn't ready to back off. He takes a step further until his nose is almost touching Nick's. "What did you say?" He mutters. Nick glares down at him, refusing to back off too. "Put your hands on her again," He repeats coldly. "And I'll kill you."Hunter curls his hands into fists, and I realize that he's going to punch Nick. As he lifts his hand, Caesar grabs him and pulls him away. "We're leaving. Now!" He orders. The shop's manager rushes towards us at that moment, a sho
The Bodyguard's Obsession Chapter 58: Who is Dee?
ADRIANA~~~I sit stiffly as Caesar's friend walks over to our table with a wide smile. I stare at him warily, instantly feeling a twinge of distrust within. I've always been good at reading people's aura, and I know instantly that this man is dangerous. He lowers into the chair beside me and shakes Caesar's hand. "Glad you could join us, Hunter." Caesar smiles as he pulls back. "Glad to be here." Hunter glances at me. "And who's the lovely lady?" "This is Miss Marino." Caesar introduces me casually. "One of the interns at the hospital. My assistant. Adriana, this is Hunter. He's a doctor too.""A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hunter." I murmur. "Good heavens." Hunter exclaims. He takes my hand, making me feel extremely uncomfortable. "You are a beauty, Miss Marino. Please, call me Hunter."I don't bother smiling as I pull my hand out of his grip. I still don't get the point of this outing. "Hunter is a good friend of mine." Caesar continues. "He's in the mafia too, just like your
The Bodyguard's Obsession Chapter 57: Strange thing about Caesar
ADRIANA~~~ A few changes have been made in Doctor Caesar's office. Dark photographs line the walls, which is unlike what a doctor would normally decorate his office with. The chairs have been changed too. From brown velvet to black leather. Yeah. Really strange for a doctor. I head towards the seat meant for visitors, but Caesar shakes his head. "Over here." He gestures to the couch in the corner. "The next few minutes won't be professional, if you know what I mean."I have no idea what he means, but I nod and walk over to the couch. I perch at the edge, my knees pressed together, my hands clasped tightly. Caesar moves over to the cabinet beside his desk and picks up a bottle of wine. He grabs two glasses and comes back to the couch, sitting beside me. "Are you nervous?" He asks suddenly. I swallow and shake my head. "No."Even as he pours the wine, he stares at me, that same focused, unnerving stare. "You have nothing to be nervous about, Miss Marino. I just want to know mor
