Chapter Thirty-Five
Even though it was clear that Black Ivy knew who I was, I looked her dead in her eyes and asked,
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
My first rule in this situation was to stall until I came up with a plan.
"Do you take me as a fool, Aria?!" Black Ivy coldly uttered. "That's your name, right? And you are the personal bodyguard to Atlas Sharpe."
"Who's Aria? Me? Nah, of course, not. I'm Joy, and you?" I mumbled, darting my eyes around.
"Don't play stupid with me, Aria! I do my research on the clients that I work with!" Black Ivy said, scowling at me.
Rule number two, any and everything can be

Calculating my next move and plans in my head, I watched as Black Ivy talked on the phone with her gun pointed at me and her eyes on mine."I see," Black Ivy mumbled with a note of incredulity in her voice and a bitter look in her eyes.In that instant, the expression on her face told me that she wasn't going to allow me to leave the park alive, and realizing that I might die here, surviving was all I could think of as my eyes remained focused on hers."I understand," Black Ivy said in a peremptory tone as a flare of resentment settled in her gaze.Then she drew the phone from her ears, and my eyes darted towards the gun trigger.The moment I noticed her fi

As I sat in the cab, looking at the windshield, my phone light blinked, and I looked at the screen.It was Atlas calling, and I felt my heart thumped against my rib, beating faster than normal.Although a part of me didn't want to, I accepted the call and rested the phone against my ear, listening without talking."Aria, what is going on?" Atlas said, and I squeezed my eyelids shut, drawing a deep breath."Nothing. I just needed fresh air to think things through." I mumbled, feeling the ache in my chest growing sharper."Think about what?"My voice sounded strange, slightly strangled as I mumbled,

Atlas POVMy heart was pounding rapidly as I kept hitting the door, ignoring the pain each time my body slammed into its solid wooden frame.“Get your hands off me!” Aria screamed, and then I heard a loud "bang!", almost like Ross was hitting her against something.“Sir, let me help!” Derrie said as he stood by me.Even though I was hesitant, he looked built than me, and my arm felt bruised from all the hits, so I stepped back and watched as he crashed against the door.After gazing at him for a while, I looked down the hall, wondering when Jacob and the other would bring the ax, and with every noise that echoed from the room, I felt my patience fading fast.Fear immediately grabbed onto my heart and squeezed it tightly when Aria's room suddenly became quiet.As I listened to the silence growing louder, I forgot how to breathe as my mind tortured me with the worst scenario possible.“Move!” I

When I forsook sleep, I felt a weight on my upper body and gazed down at Aria's head resting on my chest as her hand hugged onto my waist.Yesterday was intense, but the good thing is, she didn't do it. She couldn't look into my eyes and tell me that she wanted us to be over.There was so much doubt in my head about her feelings for me, but yesterday freed every bit of suspicion that I had.When she broke down in tears, unable to say those words, I realized that she did love me, but she was just scared. Why she was afraid? I don't know. Maybe it was because of the gap in our status, or something else.But the truth is, I don't really care, and all I care about is that she feels the same way I do.

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 CEO Fierce Bodyguard Chapter Forty-One
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
