The last person I needed to see stood right in front of me, a glass of alcohol in his hand.

His dried lips wore a sinister smirk that said he knew something.

Still, I wasn't taking any chances.

Seth had long been crossed off the loyalty list, so slipping up would be the most stupid thing to do.

I downed my second glass, placing the cup on the counter with a loud thud.

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Traitorous Son

    ETHAN COLEThe last person I needed to see stood right in front of me, a glass of alcohol in his hand. His dried lips wore a sinister smirk that said he knew something. Still, I wasn't taking any chances. Seth had long been crossed off the loyalty list, so slipping up would be the most stupid thing to do. I downed my second glass, placing the cup on the counter with a loud thud. “Christ! You keep staring at me like you want to kill me,” I noticed, sliding the cup over to Winnie who gave me an irritated look. Seth let out a sigh. His eyes were drowsy, and he didn't look like he wanted to talk. Maybe he wasn't staring. He was just dead drunk. “Nothing really. I've been wondering why you're here. Shouldn't you be with your princess?” Bile rose to my throat, but I pushed it down so as the thought that kept forcing its way to my mind. “The only thing I do there is search for the files. It's boring,” I said in a gruff tone. Seth nodded lazily, though I knew he didn't believe

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Touching in the Rain

    AVA DUVAL Loneliness. That was a pathetic feeling. It left you needy… wanting what you might never have. I did find the truth about VAR, and that alone worsened the case. The key to the secret room had exclusive documents stacked in it — ones about every single organization we'd partnered with, including VAR, and a bit of our recent technology. The failed ones to be exact. That organization had a shit ton of assets, and the deals they made with my father were mostly in their favour. It left me with the question of why. Digging through my memory, the answer had always been there, staring me in the face. Greed. They wanted more. Liam Curvy’s death was totally Ethan's doing, but the endgame? It was all connected to that organization. My head sunk deeper into the pillow. I stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering what he was doing at the moment. Ethan Nikolai Cole. My Niko. That bastard knew all about this… that was his sole purpose of coming here. I needed to f

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Part Four: Two Weeks Gone

    ETHAN COLE Two weeks had passed. Two weeks without speaking to her. Two weeks of her haunting my fucking sleep, making me wake up with sweat dripping down my face. Yes, Ava stayed on my mind. She lived there now, refusing to leave no matter how hard I tried to push her out. Winnie rested on Zero's laps, while he absentmindedly ran his fingers through her hair.I turned away, green with envy. Why did everything these two did in my house somehow reminded me of the woman I betrayed. Screw them. In fact, screw the entire team for rubbing my failure in my face. Grunting, I moved to the bathroom, turning on the sink Water splashed over my face, the cool feel not helping me one bit. “Ava,” I muttered.Maybe if I had rejected VAR's offer and sought her out in a different way, we would've still been together. I listened to the sound of rain splattering on the ground, and the wind, ruffling the leaves. So, I was officially stuck indoors with these two lovebirds who didn't know

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Contract Breached

    ETHAN COLEAnd just like that I was back to square one. Not the kind that I could easily swim my way through. I sat on the seat, staring at the screen before me. VAR's message was still open, reminding me of how foolish I was. Taking a deep breath, I let it out carelessly. My head spun, thoughts jumbled, and the silence in the room spoke louder words. Ava hated me. She finally saw me for the monster I was. A person filled with so much deceit that it hurts to even think about it. “How did she even know my password?” I asked rhetorically. The answer was laid bare. I underestimated her, and that led to my downfall. Just then, a message popped up on the screen. Serena. What was she doing texting me by this hour? The night had already gone bad, and there was nothing else to be anxious about. The only thing that was left was to wait for my death. I clicked on the notification banner just to see a picture of the product. My target product. Then it clicked. That commot

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Betrayed II

    AVA DUVAL A ravaging heat burned through me, my hands trembled as his eyes widened at the content in the laptop. His messages with VAR… the files… everything lay bare before him. He wasn't going to feign ignorance now, and he knew it. His eyes drifted to mine. Still trying to keep a composed expression, huh? Although the evidence stared right at me, I wanted to know — to hear from him if everything we had was truly a lie. Every second spent with him felt like a bed of roses, except I had ignored the thorns. Now it had come to bite me, piercing into my body. “Ava…” that was all he said. The only thing he could do was whisper my name as though I wasn't supposed to see this. He reached for me, but I pulled away too betrayed to let his filthy hands touch me. Somehow, he didn't persist, he stayed in his lane still watching me, his eyes darker than before. My throat burned, too weak to even let out a cry of pain. “You shouldn't have seen this,” he whispered. Whatev

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Betrayed I

    ETHAN COLE My feet trudged down the road slowly, as the rain poured down on me. Light flashed across the sky as a rumbling sound echoed throughout. Strands of wet hair slipped over my eyes, but that didn't bother me one bit How could one question cause so much damage to us? Love?I was still trying to figure that out. Or maybe I had already done that. Love wasn't calculating. If it were, then I would be a master at it. It tugged at your heart, made you do foolish things, and left you broken and bitter. Somehow, I was ready for that. Ethan Nikolai Cole was broken, foolish and bitter. What more could a measly thing like love do? If love meant sacrificing yourself for someone else then I was madly in love with Ava. I loved her, and I foolishly let her go without stopping her. I couldn't even blame VAR for my inability to communicate. That failure belonged entirely to me. She was head over heels for me, and that suffocated me in the best way possible. But danger was l
