Chapter Forty
At one-fifty, I finally close the last document and all I felt was rage that I have been so stupid all these years to think that my uncles were saints.
After gazing at the time on my phone screen for a moment, I drew a deep breath and stood to my feet.
Immediately, Aria woke from the couch as she asked, "Where are we going?"
"I am sure that all my uncles will be in the conference room by now," I told her as I reached for my coat.
Then after wearing it, I left from behind my desk, approached her, and gave her a brief smile before saying, "Let's go."
Trying to act professionally with her when we are out in public is one of the hardest things I cou

The conference room was quiet for a couple of minutes. Then Uncle Ransom threw me a hard look and said, "Atlas, although the companies were built by your parents and as their son, you have all the rights to run it. But we are all shareholders here. Just because Kerri and Lex did such a dirty deed to the companies, that doesn't mean, we too would be the same as them."My greenness was no secret to me since I grew up in a mansion surrounded by guards and had little experience with the outside world. But how stupid can my uncles think me to be for them to use such a foolish excuse on me?"Exactly. Kerri and Lex are our brothers but their sins are not ours to share. So why push their wrongdoings on us too and make it seem like we are the same as them! That's offensive." Uncle Otis calmly uttered, but the look on his face gave it away tha

As the silence in the conference room dragged on, I gazed at my uncles wondering what their next move would be.Yet a part of me felt disappointed because even though they had not spoken yet, I could tell from their expression what they would say."As I said before, we are all honorable men. So go ahead with the investigation!" King said with a casual look.How can they be this headstrong when their attitudes had already given them away? But then again, I couldn't help feeling a bit hopeful that some of my uncles were clean."Since that's your condition. Then I don't mind you carrying on an investigation." Uncle Levi announced with his gaze fixed on mine.
The CEO Fierce Bodyguard Chapter Forty-Three
As I sat on the bed, gazing at Atlas, I felt hesitant to speak because what he was asking me was simply impossible to say, and I felt disappointed in myself that he was right about everything.“I am Aria Chester. I served in the military for two years and left to take care of my sick mother. After she died, I joined a protective service agency and became a bodyguard.” I mumbled without taking my eyes off Atlas.There was tension in the atmosphere and it was clear that both of us felt it. But my expression remained calm as I buried my feelings behind my emotionless face.“No, Aria. I don't just mean, 'who are you?' I meant tell me everything about yourself. Like what you like, or dislike. What kind of people your parents were? When did you have your fi
The CEO Fierce Bodyguard Chapter Forty-Four
Since Atlas challenged his uncles four days ago in the meeting, I have been alarmed because now it could be any one of the eighteen of them coming for him, and I don't know who to strike at this point. Even though it seems like Ross was working for King, I am not sure, and I can't go about killing Atlas uncles based on suspicion. Although my protective girlfriend instinct is telling me that killing all eighteen of them would be the only way to keep him safe, I didn't want to put him through something that traumatize. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I did? I will just have to kill them when they strike first. That's the mission order after all. "Are you ready to leave?" Atlas's voice echoe

As I gazed at Atlas dead serious expression, all I felt was raw anger, and I screwed my face into a frown."If I didn't jump in front of you, you would have been dead. That gun was aiming at your heart!" I calmly intoned, striving to suppress my anger, feeling a tightness in my chest.With mad eyes, Atlas threw me an icy stare and harshly said, “I didn't ask you to switch places with me and dye for me!"Now I was mad because I had been rejecting him all this time, and he had been the one forcing all these feelings that I had killed to awaken. But now, he's okay with dying and leaving me with the worst heartbreak ever!Anger had me tightly in its grip, and I ran my fingers through my hair as I sniffed and

I stuttered, staring at the touch of bitterness in Victor's eyes.It was quiet for quite a whi

For a moment, I held in my breath, wondering if Atlas had finally put two and two together, and finally figured out what was going on in his mess-up family.But he suddenly chuckled and said, "What's with the long faces? I was kidding."The sound of laughter echoed in the hallway as his uncle cracked up. But I could hear the nervousness in the voices.After the annoying laughter died down, King fixed his gaze on Atlas and me and asked, "It's a serious concern that someone wants you dead, Atlas! We are all very worried here.""I know," Atlas said with calmness in his voice. "Can we take this conversation to the living room?"Striving to stay calm, I stood st
