All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE BODYGUARD: Chapter 31 - Chapter 38

Eduardo was holding me tight, kissing me goodbye before sneaking through the water slide at my balcony. That was how he came and how he was leaving: a modern-day Romeo and Juliet balcony scene."Enough!" I moaned between his kisses. "Or else I won't be able to let you go..."He held me tighter and kissed me more passionately, just to annoy me.He had to go so I could face Miranda. Oh, God! My cousin had caught me in bed with my bodyguard. I was going to be the subject of her laughter for sure.After finally sending Eduardo off, I took a quick shower and rushed to Miranda's room. She was lying in bed, drinking beer and scrolling through social media. When her eyes met mine, she immediately started laughing.I jumped onto her bed and hit her with a pillow. "Don't you say anything!" I warned."Emily!" she said in a fake shocking tone. "He is your employee!""Miranda!" I snapped.She laughed so hard that I eventually started laughing with her."Good choice," she said, winking playfully.I

The glass walls of the room let the sunset hues in, reflecting off the surface of the oak meeting table. I was comfortably seated in my chair, watching that slandering scumbag sign the agreement with trembling hands."I hope the lesson is learned," I said, grabbing the signed documents and turning on my heels.The sound of my high heels echoed alongside the hum of the AC in the corridor. I hummed softly as I walked out of the building. Eduardo greeted me at the entrance, smiling."Sorted, Ma'am?" he asked."Stop calling me Ma'am with the same mouth you kiss me with and more," I said, blinking.He chuckled, but his expression changed instantly. I saw him strike like a tiger in the wild, ready to prey. He grabbed the man by his collar before I could stop him. The security rushed in."Eduardo," I said, "he already paid. Let him go, don’t make a scene.""Do you really think he paid? He may be paying for the slander, but what about the harassment?""What harassment?" he asked in shock."Ar

I froze for a long moment, as if my feet were buried underground. My voice was totally gone. I never expected Eduardo to know someone like Seniora Los Santos. Not only did he know her, he was close to her. They were hugging each other warmly. How could that be?The timing couldn’t have been worse; the wine I sent to their table made them notice me. Eduardo's expression changed immediately. He looked as if he were seeing me for the first time in his life.I read his lips as he whispered my name, "Emily!"Then I saw another familiar face entering; it was his friend from that night—the owner of the farm where Eduardo took my mare, Luna. I recalled him vividly because he kept calling Eduardo "The Almighty Don" that night. Eduardo had told me he was only mocking him because of his hometown.My eyes met Seniora Los Santos'. She turned her face toward me, and a faint smile appeared as a greeting. I swallowed hard to clear the knot in my throat—though I didn't know why it was there—and forced

I literally snapped out of the diner and stormed out onto the street. I was filled with pure adrenaline—adrenaline fueled by anger, excitement, and even confusion.Confusion about Eduardo. How could he leave me alone and go dining without informing me? How could he possibly know someone so important that he would need their help for a multi-million-dollar investment? How did a mere coincidence at lunch turn into an arranged marriage proposal?Bernardo was running after me, trying to catch up. "Emily," he shouted, "wait!"I didn’t stop but slowed my hurried steps."What was that?" he asked, his head clearly in a mess.Then Eduardo met my gaze, running toward us. I had a lot to deal with regarding him, but before that, what was urgent to me was to wrap my arms around his neck and hug him."I'm sorry," I whispered into his ear, "you shouldn’t have seen that."His gentle hands brushed my back, pausing for a moment, then he replied, "I’m the one who should apologize."I pulled back slightl
