บททั้งหมดของ Submitting to my Alpha Bodyguard : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

MIATHE SOUND OF WATER dripping from the ceiling soared through my ears. The sound of my toes scratching the concrete that had been my friend for days, months, years added to the rhythm.And for a moment, I hummed. It was all I could do as I mingled the sounds together. Sounds that were meant to keep me sane even if I wanted to lose my mind on most days.On a day like this, Bryant missed his usual visit.A visit where he supplied his newfound comebacks and insults and not forgetting the food I fed off from the ground like a dog.I had fought him every single time.Every time he appeared in this dark room, thinking just because of the darkness I wouldn’t catch his scent, I would be ready for him.Ready like Flames taught me and I would attack him with everything I had with the little bit of lifeforce coursing through my veins.Last week he’d been here, I had caught the telltale of his heavy boots hitting the concrete, tailing around me, thinking of an attack and I had listened for him

MIA“I’LL SHOW YOU UP TO YOUR ROOM, ma’am”The butler, the housekeeper, whoever was in charge of the house here grabbed my hand and I let him.I didn’t like it in the least bit.I didn’t like using anyone for support, I didn’t like that certain uneasiness in their voices when they offered to help me.Even with the guys, Flames’ friends, I had felt it. I had felt that certain drop in their voices, that sound eyes made when eyelids clashed more than once, they all looked at me and had no clue how to treat me.Everything was over, I knew but how-how could this be my beginning?A life so desolate, a life where I was confined to the man I didn’t want near me, a life condemned to asking help from others, to rely on someone’s eyes.I hadn’t come to terms with that yet.I also hadn’t come to terms that Alessandro was in my life now. Permanently.And you know what? That was hard than being blind, because in all this messiness, he was the guy I wanted to turn to.But the guy I wanted to turn to

MIAHE WAS MARRYING ANOTHER WOMAN.Not to seem affected, the only reply that could come out of my mouth was…okay.Okay it was not like I was devastated or anything. This was what I wanted.He deserved a woman who was complete but why did it feel like a hot sword was cutting piece by piece of my insides?“To your right…no other right”I moved, my hand reaching for the cold countertop, to the barrel holding the wooden spoons and picking one out of it.“Thanks”“It’s nothing really. Any friend of my brother is a friend of mine”My smile fell.Saying we were friends was a bit of a stretch, friends didn’t know how you tasted, or fucked you till every time they came near you, you wanted to do it again and again.“We are not friends”, I clarified, walking my way back to where Lucy was.“Right, your situation is different, I’m judging from your accident”Her words made me still.“He told you about the accident?”“No…he’s too closed off to tell me anything. I picked it up on the way you move,

MIAI HAVE A COUSIN, BORN BLIND, IT DIDN’T STOP HER FROM RUNNING TRACK.You can be anything you want, Mia and no one can convince you otherwise.Ethan Lochan had been great company for the night. After Tonia had assaulted me with a few mean words that diminished the brave front I had put up, the last thing I expected was to land in the men’s washroom and find a good guy like Ethan to show me the way out.And I don’t know it was nice having someone to talk to albeit a stranger about my condition.While my friends-Lucy’s friends didn’t ask much about me being blind to which I was grateful, the stinging feel of losing my eyesight still lurked in my heart, throbbing every time I heard someone speak and I couldn’t make out which face was which or who was who and with Ethan...I guess it was easy to talk to a stranger who understood my condition rather than told the people close to me.And the night with Ethan had been remarkable, the best night I’d had since I received ‘the whole I don’t t

MIAI SUCKED IN A BREATH, ELECTRIC CURRENT COURSING UNDER MY SKIN as Ethan placed his hands on my belly helping me ward through the water like a graceful swan even though I felt like a pig wiggling in mud.I didn’t think I would like dancing or cooking or painting but with being free I wanted a splash of all of them.I never had to make a choice in my life. Never had the freedom to do anything I liked and this was my chance to do so.And in a week of training with a dancing instructor who might have been the sweetest man I knew, I was blowing it because of the silly heart that wept for someone who wasn’t mine.“It’s a hard technique. No one can get it in a week”, Ethan’s smooth voice hit my shoulder and I could tell he meant well but I wasn’t even trying to master said technique.“I know”“You don’t have to beat yourself around about it”“I know!”I shouted; Ethan let go of me as my feet floated inside the pool all awkwardly.“Okay, what’s really going on? You have been acting weird a
