The Bodyguard's Secret Watch Your Head
ETHAN COLE I could sense the tension in the room. Ava took a step back, eyes staring wide at me. The truth I had tried to keep from her had finally come to light.Ava wasn't aware that I was an assassin, but her father did know. VAR gave him enough information about me — just enough to make him trust them. I stepped forward, my gaze not leaving her.The secretary stood to the side, her hands trembling as the documents slipped from her grip and scattered across the floor.“Excuse me,” she said, bending over. Ava couldn't believe what she had heard. The man she had given herself to was a trained assassin. A cold thrill ran down my spine. But toying with her meant she would no longer trust me, and finding the Duval information on arms technology would stretch farther than anticipated. The secretary slipped away like a shadow in light. I did not care. Not yet. “Ethan…” she muttered, her voice fading in the background. The sound of her cracked voice carved something sharp b
The Bodyguard's Secret Legally Dead
AVA DUVAL Everything around me became a blur. The instant shock sent a sharp ringing to my ears. The room went in circles, getting smaller each time I tried to hold onto my breath. The image I'd built of Ethan came crumbling down — bit by bit. Every brick contained the truth I thought I knew about him. No. She had to be lying. I lifted my head to her, she stared silently, the documents still placed perfectly in her arm. That pitiful gaze in her eyes stirred up emotions I couldn't contain.“You're lying,” I blurted out defiantly. This couldn't be true. Ethan wasn't an assassin. He was my bodyguard, the one who saved me from the real people who were trying to kill me. If he wanted me dead, he would've done it sooner than before. I shook my head, trying hard to deceive myself. This was a dream and people could be paranoid in dreams. The trembling of my hands said otherwise. I clutched the hem of my apron, an unexplainable pain searing through my body. Secretary Lee stepped
The Bodyguard's Secret The Calm Before the Storm
AVA DUVAL I sat alone in the art room, staring at the blank sheet before me. The sun had turned a bright yellow, its warm rays seeping into the evergreen coloured room. Several paintings stood around the large room, the one of Ethan there, right in front.I had caught the warm glow in his eyes, and that expression made my heart skip two beats. I wanted to paint more of him — shirtless, water dripping from his chest with an orange sun casting warm hues onto that calculating gaze. My hands clasped over my hot cheeks, shaking my head to remove these lewd images. This morning, I peeped into the slightly open door to see him at his laptop, the keyboard clacking too fast. His focus was unmatched that everything around him felt grey, including me. I slipped away, not willing to be the disturbance he didn't need. These days, he had stayed more on his laptop, either typing or just staring at the screen completely lost in thoughts. If I gave him more time to process whatever he was
The Bodyguard's Secret Sunshine and Roses
ETHAN COLE VAR knew about my existence before I even stepped into the academy. That must've meant they had personally given Nina the flier. I stared dazed at the screen before me, my mind lost in thoughts. The thought that I had had freedom all my life till I walked into their godforsaken academy was haunting. Something crawled under my skin, the memory of my time in Alba suddenly felt fake. Maybe meeting Nina cost me so much. They needed that guilt of killing someone I cared about to drive me to what I had become. Ava. Out of all the agents in the organization, they chose me… I threw my head back, rubbing the bridge of my nose. “Those bastards,” I sighed, looking back at the screen. Winnie hadn't said anything after that day, not even a hi. My fingers hovered around the keyboard, but decided against texting her. She needed time away from me. Time to think. Just as I shut the laptop, there was a tap on the door. The knob turned, creaking the door open. Ava's
The Bodyguard's Secret Clipped Wings
ETHAN COLE An owl hooted above me, muscles tensing at the eeriness of the place. Darkness overshadowed the moon as the leaves rustled, flowing with the soft breeze. I dragged my feet, sharpening my eyes to scope the area.The anonymous message ran through my mind for the third time today. It was likely one of VAR's representatives, and was here to either get a report or issue a warning. My hand tapped at my pistol tucked away in my belt. This was a very disappointing place to meet with someone so high. My shoes shuffled on the ground, stopping when I reached a dead end. “Hmm,” I breathed out. I had been trying to bear the pungent stench of this alley. The smell of damp leaves mixed with an unidentified substance wafted through the air, and into my nose. “You have suffered worse things, Nikolai,” I muttered, turning my back against the short fence. Water from a pipe dripped down onto a hard surface, splattering as it fell. The place screamed of suspicion. Maybe that wa
The Bodyguard's Secret Messy Sex
AVA DUVAL He stared at me like I wasn't supposed to witness what just happened. Like I was still that bratty heiress who didn't want to get her eyes stained. Maybe he had forgotten how bad he had stained my innocence. And how much I yearned for it. Ethan smiled, patting my hair gently. “It's just a minor misunderstanding. It'll blow off soon,” he said, moving to the bed. A minor misunderstanding wouldn't have made Winnie stomp out of the room, and walk past her. “You're lying,” I said. He paused for a moment, before breaking into a sarcastic laugh. “You don't trust me when I say it's a misunderstanding?” My chest tightened at his words. Our arguments always resulted in one of us being injured… or both. I took three steps, and sat right beside him. He was much bigger than me, he could swallow me with just a hug. “You're not telling me anything. Winnie was angry with you at the start, and now?” Winnie was right to say he never spoke about the things that bothered him.
