The CEO's Bodyguard Chapter 68
Ryan's POVThe drive to Anderson Corporation felt strangely ordinary. Even the city looked exactly the way it had every other weekday morning. Nothing about the morning suggested that one of the country's largest corporations had woken beneath the weight of a growing scandal.I sat quietly in the back seat, watching it all through the tinted window. It irritated me more than I cared to admit.Somewhere across the city, reporters were dissecting my company's future one headline at a time, shareholders were questioning whether Anderson Corporation would survive the month, and every news channel seemed convinced they had already decided the outcome of an investigation that had barely begun.Yet the world continued as though none of it mattered.Philip met me the moment I stepped out of the elevator. He already had a tablet tucked beneath one arm and another folder in his hand."I've sent the revised statement to every major media house," he said as we walked toward the boardroom. "The au

Adrian's POVThe first thing I noticed when I stepped into my office was that the envelope on my desk hadn't been there when I left the previous evening. It rested neatly at the center of my desk, almost as though someone had measured the exact position before placing it there. There was no company seal, no courier stamp, and no sender's name. My own name was written across the front in clean block letters that revealed nothing about the person who had sent it.Alex came in a moment later, closing the office door quietly behind him."That arrived about twenty minutes ago."I didn't take my eyes off the envelope."Who delivered it?""The receptionist isn't sure. She said one of the security officers found it on her desk when she returned from taking a call."I slipped a finger beneath the flap and unfolded it carefully. There was only one sheet inside. There was no signature, nor watermark. Nothing except three neatly typed lines.The target has started asking questions. Family record

Ryan's POVSleep never really came. Every time I closed my eyes, another headline flashed across the darkness.ANDERSON CORPORATION LINKED TO ILLEGAL SHIPMENT.AUTHORITIES WIDEN INVESTIGATION.SHAREHOLDERS DEMAND ANSWERS.By the time the first hint of dawn slipped through the curtains, I was already dressed. The study looked worse than it had the night before.Files remained scattered across the desk exactly where Samantha and I had left them. My laptop screen glowed with overnight market reports, while two tablets displayed live financial updates from different exchanges. Red figures dominated every graph. Our stock had opened lower in the international market.I reached for my phone before the coffee beside me had a chance to cool. Philip answered on the second ring."I've been expecting your call.""I know." I exhaled."The media isn't slowing down.""I know.""The board wants an emergency meeting.""They'll have one." Philip hesitated."They're nervous.""They're supposed to be."

Ryan's POVThe doorbell rang just as David reached for another folder, and I didn't need to think twice to know who it was. Mom never announced her arrival twice."I'll get it," I said, pushing my chair back.As I walked to the front door, the walk felt longer than it should have. Maybe it was because everything that had happened today had finally begun catching up with me. Or maybe it was because I already knew the conversation waiting on the other side of that door.The moment I opened it, she looked me over from head to toe without saying a word. Her gaze moved from my face to my shoulders, then to my hands, almost as though she was making sure I was still in one piece.Only when she seemed satisfied did she finally speak."Have you eaten?"Despite everything that had happened, the question almost drew a smile from me."I've been accused of trafficking illegal goods today, Mom.""And starving yourself won't improve your defense."She brushed past me before I could respond, carrying

Samantha's POVRyan disappeared into his study without another word. I waited a moment before following him. The door was already open.He had spread several files across the large mahogany desk. There were shipping manifests, inspection reports, invoices and logistics summaries everywhere, covering nearly every inch of the polished surface. Another monitor displayed live market data, where Anderson Corporation's stock continued to fluctuate by the second.Ryan didn't acknowledge my presence immediately. Instead, he was reading through one of the manifests with complete concentration, making notes in the margins as though the world outside that room wasn't threatening to pull his company apart.I stood quietly for a few seconds, watching him work. For someone whose corporation had just become the center of a growing scandal, he was remarkably composed. He did not look like he was ignoring the crisis. It looked more like he was stepping into it, fully aware. I finally broke the silenc

Author's POVThe room remained dim despite the expensive chandelier hanging overhead. Its golden light barely reached the far corners, leaving sections of the room swallowed by darkness. The busy city was shut out beyond the windows by thick curtains.The older man stood beside the window with one hand clasped behind his back. He had not touched the wine poured for him as his attention rested on the city below. There was a soft knock on the door to the room."Come in."The subordinate entered immediately."The secretary has reported." The older man did not turn."And?""Mr. Leigh suspects nothing."A slow smile appeared on his face."I expected as much.""The dock operation failed. The Andersons discovered the shipment.""They were supposed to."The younger man frowned. "They were?" The older man finally turned."You still think the container was meant to remain hidden.""It wasn't?" The younger man asked, confused. "No.""Hidden evidence has no value." He walked casually toward the
