Semua Bab In Love With My Bodyguard : Bab 101 - Bab 110

*Knox*“Why are you going to Marcus’s place?” “I need to see my brother. He must need me in a time like this.” Tessa says. Her words feel like she's ordering me to take her to Marcus. I raise my head and try to understand what she's really saying.“I don't get you, Tess. Why are you all dressed just to go and visit Marcus?” “I don't know. He probably needs your help as well as mine, which is why he called. I know he has so many shortcomings, but he's still my brother, and he's the reason I have the life I have right now. I can't just let him be all by himself when I know I could be of help.”“Fine then,” I respond and walk towards the door. “Whatever you think is right for you to do to help him. Do it. But I won't be doing anything to help him because his problem is not my problem.” I say plainly.“Knox, you know I can't help Marcus if you're not willing to help him,” Tessa says in a much lower voice, trying to persuade me.“Tessa, that's not going to happen!” I respond curtly. “I

*Knox*I couldn't believe that Marcus would stoop so low as to incriminate his long-term manager, Mr William.“Who exactly would Marcus not be willing to push under the bus for his sake? I can't believe he will do something like this to Mr William, knowing how far they have come together.”I know it's easier for people to believe that's true because it makes more sense since Mr William has access to many things relating to Marcus.“Maybe it's Mr William and not Marcus after all,” Tessa says.I glare at her after she said that. “No, it's definitely Marcus, and everyone knows, so don't even try to look out for your brother. I don't even want to hear it.”“How are you even so sure that he's the one? What of him isn't? Why are you suddenly so fixated on blaming him for everything that's going wrong in his life? What's with this new obsession you've grown about Marcus?” Tessa questions me, standing in my face.I walk out of her place without giving her a response. “Are you really not goin

*Tessa*“Tessa, what is it this time around? Why are you acting like this?” Wes asks me. I don't even know what the problem is myself, but I did not like how he's trying to touch me. It feels very wrong that he's even touching me, talk more of him trying to kiss me, and I know it's not fair but I can't just help myself to pretend.I walk into his room and sit on his bed. “I don't know, Wes. I just don't want a kiss right now. I'm too tired.”Wes stands by the door. His wide smile turns into a plain gaze at me, as though he's trying to read through me. “This is not us, Tess. You've been too far from me. You complain all the time. You don't let me get close to you. You don't listen to me again. I don't even know if you haven't been swapped with someone else. I have only ever loved you, Tessa, and you know this.”I try my best to avoid looking at Wes in the face, but his voice growls with snippets of anger. I understand his plight. If I were him too, I would be mad but I don't know.

*Tessa* “What the fuck is your problem, Wes?” Sophie yells at Wes, pushing him in the chest because she's bigger than he is. “Oh, you think you're a man now, and you can speak to her anyway? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I feel a little at ease with Sophie being present in the room. If anything, at least, I am now sure of my safety. “I want to leave right now. Please. I just want to leave.” I cry out. My voice really is shaking and I can't even stand well because of how much fear I feel within. “No, I can't let her just leave like that!” Wes insists, trying to hold me. “Yes, she will! What the fuck is wrong with you? You're now an abuser? You're better than this? What's getting into your head?” Sophie yells at him, pushing Wes aside to make space for me to leave. “You don't know what she did,” Wes says, trying to defend his actions. “I don't want to know. If she says she wants to leave them, yes, she's allowed to. This house will not be your place for kidnapping.

*Tessa*“I didn't know how I was going to tell you. And it wasn't even planned. It just happened.” My voice shakes as I speak, hoping Marin won't see me in a bad light because her reaction is worse than I expect.Marin notices how my voice shakes, and she forces a smile before saying, “I mean, it's a good thing. It's not like it's bad. You've got to have your first time with a hot guy like Knox. I'm proud of you. It's just, you know, I thought you would have broken up with Wes before you left this happen. It's as though you've given him something to finally be able to hold on to and label you like you're a bad person and he's a saint. And I don't even like the audacity men have when they know that it's the lady who has made a mistake. What then did he say?”I gulp down my saliva, as well as the last level of pride I have left, “I don't even remember what he was saying. All I know is, he just became aggressive, and he locked the doors saying he wouldn't let me out. He pulled me hard. I
