Ryan’s POV
“Thank you for coming.” I offered my hand to the tall man that stood beside Roman, in appreciation.
“The pleasure is all mine.” He shook my outstretched hand firmly with a broad smile. “Permit me to take my leave, gentlemen.”
“Sure!” I nodded and with a last broad and professional smile, the man exited my office. I sat down and Roman followed suit.
“The business deal sounds great.” He commented.
“I know right.” I replied curtly and then focused my attention on the paperwork on my desk.
“Ryan!” he drawled which got me to look at him.
“What?”
“What’s wrong?” he queried.
“What makes you think something is wrong?”
“You look disturbed.” He frowned and eyed me seriously. “Is there something you’d like to share?&rdquo

Samantha’s POVI hurried out of bed as soon as the alarm clock rang out. I can’t believe I slept in so late. I rushed into the bathroom to get myself ready for the day’s work.After observing the proper hygiene routine, I got dressed as usual in my suit and pant. I gelled up my hair and styled it to the masculine type that I always go with.Once I was done, I took an observant look at myself and I was certain I was good to go. I grab the necessary things I needed and rushed out of my room. I glanced briefly at my wristwatch and I realized my phone would get disturbed soon by calls.I didn’t even get the chance to complete my thoughts before my phone rang.“Damn it!” I hissed when I saw Philip’s name flashed across the screen. I swiped to the receive side and placed the phone close to my ear.I made sure I held it in place with my shoulder while I moved closer to the kitche

Ryan’s POV I was taken aback when I saw a familiar face behind the mask. “Long time no see, Ryan.” He smiled as he walked closer. My armed men hurriedly came to stand in front of me in a bid to protect me. “Adrian Leigh!” I frowned slightly. “Surprised to see me?” he asked. I should have known he was back in town. But why would he be right here in a store room that belongs to a foe? What exactly was he doing here? Could he be the mastermind behind all that has been happening to my businesses? I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually was the one that masterminded all these. It doesn’t look like something he wasn’t capable of doing. Moreover, the Andersons and the Leigh were not best of business partners. They were practically foes. Always at each other’s necks, being the second family name that reigned in our business world. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “I shou

Samantha’s POV I got down from my car and headed towards the cabin while a guard closed the door behind me. When I got to the cabin’s entrance, the man who stood guard bowed. “Miss!” “Tell him I’m here to see him.” I ordered. With a slight nod, he moved away from the doorpost and went inside the cabin. Few minutes later, he came out with the permission to make me go in. I entered the cabin and I saw different armed men who stood guard. Before I could get the chance to ask any of them where my uncle was, I saw him seated at the far end of a table which was surrounded with empty seats. I believe he just had a meeting with his men. With a slight sigh, I walked closer to him and before I could eventually get to him, he was on his feet, walking up to me. “It is a rare privilege to see you here, my lady.” Uncle Mark bowed with a hint of mockery in his tone. I was sure he was still unpleased with wh

Samantha’s POVMy whole life at some point simply revolved around revenge but then I realized there was more to revenge than to just nip at someone. There was more to that guilt… that regret. There was actually more things to focus my entire being on achieving that’d actually assist my goal. I found something worth more my time…something I needed to take charge of. Something I needed to be responsible for! And that was power! Acquisition of power was my goal now.~“Did you get the mail I sent to you last night?” Ryan asked and I nodded.“Yeah, these are the information I got.”I stretched the folder I had with me to him. He collected it and glanced through it.“All right. This should be enough.” He nodded as he acknowledged the information I got for him.He turned to Philip.“What about the statistical report I requested?”&ldq

Ryan’s POV“Can you stop zoning out on me, Ryan?” Roman sighed. He lifted his wine glass to have a sip while he kept his gaze fixed on me. I couldn’t blame him though. He had literally stayed with me all day and I barely understood what he had been saying.“I’m sorry, buddy.” I apologized as I stood to my feet.“That’s like the hundredth time I’ve heard that today. What exactly is wrong with you?” I turned to face him. “Is something wrong at the company?”I pulled in my upper lip and I rubbed my forehead slightly when I suddenly felt my head ache.“Can you stop doing that and tell me what’s wrong?”“I think something fishy is really going on in the company.” I finally said something about what I was paranoid about.“What do you mean?” Roman asked.“I’m sure you heard the new

Samantha’s POV “I don’t understand, sir.” I perfectly understood what he just said but I still hoped and prayed I heard him wrong. I can’t possibly live with him. I wouldn’t be able to carry out my own operations. I’d be stuck trying to remain undiscovered. Hiding my true identity was one thing, trying not to make my gender known was another and it was something I’d never risk. “You don’t expect me to always wait for you every time I need your services.” Ryan shrugged. “Besides, you’ve been working with me for a while now and I don’t think I’d ask you to quit anytime soon.” “But…” “To save us the stress, you need to live here.” Ryan smiled. “But sir…” I tried to talk but he cut me off again with a raise of hand. That infuriated me. “Mr Anderson!” I snapped angrily. Ryan looked at me with a sly smile. “Yeah?” “I. Can’t. Live. Here” I emphasized on every single word
The CEO's Bodyguard Chapter 16
Samantha’s POVI pulled the hood of my sweatshirt up to cover the cap on my head, tucked my revolver in its pocket and my daggers in my thigh boots. I closed the door behind me while I exited my house. As soon as I was out of the house, I pressed the button that revealed my car, which was hidden behind a gate in its designated area.I headed to the car. I got in, fixed my seatbelt, ignited the car and zoomed out. I connected my phone to the car and called Nate. After a few beeping sound, I heard his excited voice.“Lia!”“Hey, Nate.”“I thought you eloped again.” He teased.“Who would I elope with?” I chuckled and simultaneously merged into the moving vehicles. “By the way, did Uncle Mark show up today?”“No, he hasn’t been here lately.”“Okay, what about Adrian?” Silence ensued. “N
The CEO's Bodyguard Chapter 17
Adrian's POVI ran my fingers through the books that were on my desk before I slammed the opened one shut. I've been bothered since Emilia left few hours ago and I could blame it on the words she said. If anything, why would my name continuously pop up just like she mentioned? I never had any interest in the Anderson's business. They were one of the most successful family brand home and abroad and my family was just next to theirs. But that never made me barge into their affairs like my cabinet would want to.I also have no idea as to why Emilia would prefer to work for him as his personal bodyguard. The reasons were just not forthcoming. She had been the gentle and submissive type. Rarely gets into a fight nor disagree with me. She was always this loving and caring girl who was head over heels in love with me before she went into hiding.I tried all I could to get information about her location but all to no avail. I sinc
