The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard Clara POV
CLARAThe text came in at eight on a Thursday morning.Elliot: Are you free for coffee?She looked at it. Elliot texted for logistics, not for social things. If he wanted to see someone he had his assistant call their assistant and things got arranged. A direct text at eight in the morning asking if she was free meant something was going on.She typed back: Give me an hour.✦ ✦ ✦He was already there when she arrived. In civilian clothes, which she noticed immediately because Elliot in civilian clothes meant he hadn't come from the office and wasn't going to the office and was therefore not in performance mode. He looked like a person instead of a CEO, which was rarer than it should have been.She got a coffee and sat across from him."What happened?" she said."Nothing bad." He looked at his cup. "I just needed to talk to someone who knew me before all of this.""Before all of what?""Before I knew what I was actually like," he said. He said it without self-pity, just as a fact. Cl
The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard Kieran POV
Three days after Sunday and the world had not ended.That was still a surprise, honestly. He'd been bracing for something to fall apart for so long that the absence of falling apart felt suspicious. He lay in bed on Wednesday morning and listened to the building and waited for the thing to go wrong.Nothing went wrong. A bus went past outside. Someone's alarm was going off two floors up and then stopped. The twins shifted, both of them, doing their usual morning check-in.He got up and made tea.It was different. He'd expected different, but this was a specific kind of different he hadn't planned for. Quieter. Like something that had been taking up a lot of space in his chest had been put down, and now there was just room where that thing used to be. He didn't know what to do with all the room yet. He kept reaching for the weight of the secret and finding it wasn't there.It was like forgetting you'd been holding something and then noticing your hands were empty.✦ ✦ ✦His phone buzz
The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard Kieran POV
Week 22 — Kieran POVIt was eleven-forty and he'd been staring at the same paragraph for fifteen minutes.He knew this because he'd checked the time when he started reading it and checked again just now and the only difference was that the tea beside his laptop had gone completely cold. The paragraph was about contractor liability thresholds in the phase three agreement and it had made sense the first time he read it at nine o'clock and apparently stopped making sense somewhere around the tenth reading.He was twenty-two weeks pregnant with twins and it was almost midnight and his brain had stopped cooperating.He got up.He went to the kitchen. He stood in front of the open fridge for a while. Nothing looked right. He wanted something but he couldn't name it, the kind of craving that was more like an itch than an actual appetite. He stood there long enough that the fridge started making the little alarm sound it made when you left the door open too long.He closed the fridge. He looke
The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard Elliot POV
ELLIOTHe had a habit he hadn't told anyone about.Every morning when he got to the office, he walked past Kieran's workstation on the way to his own. He didn't stop. He didn't slow down. He just walked past it the same way you walked past a chair where someone used to sit, without deciding to look and somehow always looking anyway.Ryan had been keeping it ready. The monitor was on, the way Kieran left it. The cable management along the back of the desk was still neat and precise, each wire exactly where it was supposed to be. The small spider plant in the corner had been there since week four and was still alive, green and completely unfussy, growing in the particular way plants grew when someone was actually looking after them.The first week Elliot assumed Ryan was watering it. The second week he walked past it and noticed the soil was damp and Ryan was in a meeting that had started forty minutes ago. He'd stood there for a second, doing the math, and then walked on without saying
The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: To Every Reader Who Has Been on This JourneyFirstly thank you. Genuinely. If you have read this far, you have spent a lot of hours with Kieran and Elliot and Maya and Dr. Chen and all the complicated, messy, real people who live in this story. That means everything to me.I want to be honest with you about something.Some of you noticed it. I saw your comments and your messages, and you were right to notice it. The pregnancy timeline moved too fast. You went from Kieran finding out about the twins at week ten to suddenly being in the third trimester, and the weeks in between the quiet ones, the hard ones, the ones where someone falls slowly in love without letting themselves know it those weeks were missing.They were always part of the story in my head. The Tuesday lunches that Kieran never asked for. The shirt that didn't fit on a Monday morning and the eight minutes on a bathroom floor. The way Elliot watered that plant himself and wouldn't let Ryan touch
The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard Clara POV
CLARAThe fundraiser dinner was the kind of event Clara had been attending on Elliot's arm for four years, which meant she knew the room before she walked into it. Same faces, roughly. Same conversations about the same things with the same careful professional cheer layered over the same careful professional sizing-up. She'd gotten good at it. She'd probably gotten too good at it.She wasn't on Elliot's arm tonight. She was just herself, which was a thing she was still getting used to in the way you got used to a chair that had been rearranged. Not bad. Just different.She found a spot near the windows with a reasonable view of the room and a glass of something she wasn't really drinking and watched the evening happen.Elliot was across the room.She'd known him for four years. She'd been engaged to him for two of them. She knew the specific way he navigated a professional room, the efficient warmth of it, the way he could give someone thirty seconds of his full attention and make the
The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard Clara and Kieran
CLARAShe'd noticed three weeks ago.Not at the gala she'd been at the gala and hadn't seen Kieran, hadn't known he was two floors below, had spent the evening doing the particular social work of being Elliot's former fiancée in a room full of people who were still recalibrating what that meant. B

Kieran heard about the bomb threat the same way he heard about most things these days through his laptop, cross-legged on Maya's couch, wearing a sweatshirt with a hole in the sleeve because he hadn't been to his own apartment in two weeks.Ryan called first. It was eleven in the morning on a Monda

Jessica Chen called on a Wednesday.Kieran had been expecting it. Maya had bought him two weeks back in the hospital, and two weeks was up on Wednesday, and Jessica Chen was the kind of journalist who kept track of her own deadlines with the specific focus of someone who'd learned that extensions h
