Adrian's POV
"Boss," Alexander bowed immediately he entered my living room."Morning, Alex. What's up?" I inquired when I noticed his expression."I've just got an information from one of our men that's on young Miss' trail." I sat up from the couch when I heard him mention Emilia."What news? Is she okay?""She moved into Ryan Anderson's house.""What?"I stood to my feet in annoyance. Why on earth would Emilia do that? Why does she want to risk her life while getting revenge?
"Are you sure about this?" I asked strictly."Yeah, sir." Alex nodded. "It's bound to happen since she became his personal guard.""Yeah, that's true but..." I trailed off.Lia! I ran my fingers through my hair. What exactly are you trying to prove by moving in with him?"Any news about the other one?"
"No, boss." I sighed and nodded in understanding."I guess the person acts too perfect to leave any trace of his involvement." IRelated chapters

Samantha's POV“Sam!” I flinched in shock when I heard the familiar voice.“Please, don't let it be him!” My mind chanted pleadingly till I turned to look at the person almost at the same time Adrian did.I should have known that no Adrian, no problem. Every time he popped up, I had something to deal with.“Oh no!” I exclaimed inwardly when I noticed Philip's suspicious gaze as he walked closer to us.Thankfully, Adrian has moved away from me just in time for Philip to stop in front of us.“What are you doing here?”“I…um… I came to get my phone from the car.” I stuttered. “Yeah, my phone!”“Oh, …okay,” Philip answered hesitantly. He shifted his gaze to Adrian.“Mr. Adrian,” he smiled. I could see that it was forced.“All right, Sam

Sam's POV Morning came as fast as it could and the night before, I barely had an issue staying under Ryan's roof because despite the fact that we stay together, we never crossed paths. Dinner would have been the issue but thankfully, Ryan made sure I ordered dinner for us before we got home. This morning, I got his call via the intercom informing me that he was ready to leave for work. I exited my room, ensured I locked the door before heading to the sitting room. It might be Ryan's house but that room is now mine and I can't afford to get caught because someone snitched on me after going through my belongings. I went to the car garage to get the car and before I got to the front of the building, Ryan was already waiting. I stopped the car in front of him and without waiting for me to get the door for him, he got in himself. I drove him to work before the rush hour would take its full effect. While he wo

Ryan's POV"Thanks for the meal, Sam." I appreciated the great cook. The meal was indeed tasty and I was sure Olivia enjoyed it too, judging from the smile on her face as she stared at Sam. "Olly, what do you say to uncle Sam?" I urged. "Thank you, Sam." "It's nothing, sir." Sam replied with a stoic look that never seems to fade from his face. He stood up to pack the plates and cups used."RRA, your friend hasn't smiled since I met him. Is he unhappy?" Olivia whispered to me but still loud enough for Sam to hear."No, baby." I chuckled. "By the way, you are beautiful." Sam paused. "Olivia, the word is 'handsome'." I laughed while she frowned. "I know but he doesn't..." "Olivia, thanks for the compliment. You're pretty as well." Sam smiled. Wow!"Excuse me, sir!" He said and disappeared round the corner and from the dining room, we could see him take care of the plates and cups. He came back few minutes later.

Samantha's POVIn the confined area I've been held hostage at, I paced up and down, throwing my fist into my palm once in a while. Ryan's guards stood around to keep an eye on me and I felt helpless. That feeling got me angry because of all things, I hated the feeling of helplessness. But anyone walking by would think we were just guards waiting on our boss. I had no idea that these guards would be here tonight. Their presence here definitely meant Ryan expected something would happen that needed their attention.I shut out the voices around me while I tried to think about what just happened. I was mystified at the sudden turn of things. Adrian couldn't possibly do that to me. "Even when he knew I despise him, he still loved me enough not to implicate me knowingly." I thought inwardly. My forehead creased when the pitiful look on my uncle's face reflected in my mind. I stopped in my track."Did he possibly know something was gonna happen to me today?"

Adrian's POVI stared at the girl who laid on the bed in front of me. Her lips looked dry and her face was pale. I rubbed her cheek with the back of my palm as I stared intently at her. I couldn't help but get worried about her pitiful state. She was going through a lot yet showed off fierceness."You came?" Her uncle had exclaimed when he saw me."I couldn't help it when I heard about her breakdown." I said to him. "How is she?""The doctor said she'll be fine. The past still hurts, you know.""You told her something?""She wanted to know but turned out she couldn't withstand the rush."I wanted to say something but I withheld myself. Besides, I literally had no idea what the past he talked about held so I nodded knowingly and went into the room she was sleeping in.Now here I was, staring right at the pretty face in front of me, that only looked calm in her
The CEO's Bodyguard Chapter 26
Samantha's POV With Christmas songs playing on a low pitch, I enjoyed the evening's cool breeze. I tucked in my hair that the wind kept blowing to my face of which I blamed myself for not bringing a hairband with me. Even though I had a book in my hand that I intended to read, I could barely concentrate because I had a lot on my mind. However, the atmosphere gave me a good escape from the troubles of the mind. With a low sigh, I dropped the book in my hands on my laps and sat back comfortably with my hands tucked across my chest. I lifted up my legs and rested them on the footstool. I closed my eyes to have few minutes of rest to relieve my troubled mind of the different thoughts that ran wildly through it, one of which was my relationship with Adrian and my plans with Ryan. But right before I could drift off to my short nap, I heard something that made me open my eyes. The sound was distant and I couldn't make it out.
The CEO's Bodyguard Chapter 27
Ryan's POVIt was Christmas Eve already and I was at a restaurant with a couple of businessmen. I was supposed to be at Mom's place but things came up and here I was, stuck with these chatty men.We were here to discuss some business deals that, in their opinions, couldn't be put on hold. "We heard the design got cancelled at the last minute." One of them suddenly brought up the issue of the fashion launch show after we had our deals finalized.I raised my head to look at the man."Yeah, it was.""Do you mind if we ask why? It had never happened before." Another man said."Yeah," someone interjected. "And to think Leigh's Wears won this year is actually out of it."The six men around the table all nodded in agreement and I couldn't help but sigh."I appreciate your concern but it was an impromptu decision that needed to be made to prevent a lot of things." I answered. "I'd like

Ryan's POV With my hands folded across my chest, I stared at the lady that sat down opposite me. She stared right back at me with a stoic look that I could barely read her expression. When the silence was getting unbearable, I decided to speak first but she beat me to it. "How have you been, Robin?" She asked. The way my name rolled off her tongue annoyed the hell out of me because it reminded me of a lot of things. I mean, c'mon, this was someone I haven't seen for a while now. Five years? Yeah, that should be it. Someone that literally abandoned me. "Why are you here?" She frowned and pouted before she stood to her feet. "I went out of the country just for a while. Why should I not come back home?" I watched her walk round the table before she stopped in front of me. "Besides, my boyfriend is right here." She flashed a seductive smile, pulled out the chair besid
