The CEO Fierce Bodyguard のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

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 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

As I gazed at Atlas dead serious expression, all I felt was raw anger, and I screwed my face into a frown. "If I didn't jump in front of you, you would have been dead. That gun was aiming at your heart!" I calmly intoned, striving to suppress my anger, feeling a tightness in my chest. With mad eyes, Atlas threw me an icy stare and harshly said, “I didn't ask you to switch places with me and dye for me!"  Now I was mad because I had been rejecting him all this time, and he had been the one forcing all these feelings that I had killed to awaken. But now, he's okay with dying and leaving me with the worst heartbreak ever! Anger had me tightly in its grip, and I ran my fingers through my hair as I sniffed and

Everything was falling apart slowly as I stood at Atlas room door, and I felt raw fear crawl its way into my heart. From his and Victor's conversation, I realized something, something that can ruin everything within a matter of seconds. My heart missed its rhythm when Atlas's bedroom door suddenly opened, and in a matter of seconds, I was standing face to face with Victor.After shutting the door close behind him, Victor walked towards me, stopped a foot away from me, and said, "Look who's eavesdropping on others' conversation!" "I am… I was..." I stuttered, staring at the touch of bitterness in Victor's eyes.It was quiet for quite a whi

Avoiding the first light of dawn that was glowing through the window, I rolled to my right, raised my eyelids, and saw Atlas staring at me. Then he smiled slightly, and I couldn't stop my lips from curving upward."Good morning," Atlas whispered."Morning." I calmly uttered as I focused on his face. Staring at the innocent look in his eyes, I couldn't find the strength to pull back when he leaned towards me and kissed me lightly on the lips. As a sense of calmness overcame me, I giggled faintly before rolling off Atlas's arm and getting out of bed. Then I headed into the bathroom.
