All Chapters of In Love With My Bodyguard : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

*Tessa*“You knew I would be worried with how unreachable you've been and you didn't think of trying to call me? Tess, why are you doing all this? Did I offend you?” Wes says immediately I pick up the call, as though he has all the words he wishes to say prepared in his mind beforehand.“It's not the way you think it is,” I say, my voice shaking as I try to speak calmly. I am actually terrified by how offended he must be for him to call me immediately after I got back online.“You know I love you more than anyone else in the world, and as much as we have so many differences, I'd always choose to be with you over any other girl in life, but you keep treating me like I don't know how to do anything right. Why is it when I'm on the road and almost at your place that you decide to come back online?”“You're coming to my place?” I ask, standing up and arranging my bed immediately. I try to clear anything that could be a sign to show that Knox slept on my bed or stayed in my room. “You don

*Tessa*“What are you doing in here?” Marcus asks Wes. Wes looks at me.“Be bold.” I sync with my lips, ensuring I'm not audible so Marcus wouldn't hear. I knew Wes was bold, but anyone who knows the history of Marcus will equally be scared of him on speaking to him in an enclosed place, especially when the person is in possession of me, his most important asset. “I'm here to see Tessa.” Marcus smirks. He nods like he's taken by surprise and he doesn't want to say all that went on in his mind, but he could kill Wes on the spot. “You're letting this timid boy mess around with you? Since when did you start acting like this?” Marcus turns to me, glaring as he speaks. “I'm disappointed at you, Tessa.”“Wes isn't a timid person. You're the one speaking to him like you might stab him in the neck if he says the wrong word.” I walk closer to Wes and hold him by his hands. “What's this, Tess? Have you really forgotten who you are? Is it because I give you enough space to be a student rat

*Tessa*Who's supposed to be ordering who in this place?” Wes stops and faces Knox. His voice deepens as he speaks. “You seem to have forgotten the space you're occupying in the likes of Tessa. Is this because she's all nice and gentle with the way she speaks to you?” For a moment, I try to understand what Wes is talking about, but I want to leave where we are standing, and his stopping to speak to Knox doesn't make things go as I want them to.“You are Tessa's bodyguard. You don't give the command. You follow her wherever she's going, and she tells you what to and what not to do. Not the other way round.”Knox wears a smirk on his face as he gazes at Wes. I'm uncomfortable with how Wes speaks to Knox, but maybe he deserves to be treated that way today, and for every time he has confused my emotions.“That's enough, Wes. Let's go.” I say, pulling Wes so we can keep moving to the door. “You're not leaving until I say you will.” Knox gets up from where he is seated and begins to walk

*Knox*Tessa is fully drunk. If I hadn't gotten there on time, I wonder what would have happened to her. I lift her from the floor, placing her on my shoulders. It's as though she can't control the movements of her hands. She keeps rubbing my head as I head over to my car. I had instructed her driver to leave the moment I arrived at the Club and warned him never to bring her to a place that makes her socially accessible to several individuals who could cause harm to her.“Why do you smell like Knox?” Tessa says sluggishly as I place her into the back seat of the car, thinking she is asleep already. I stop and look at her for a while as she speaks without opening the gates of her eyes. “Why aren't you speaking when I'm talking to you?” Her body drags as she tries to sit upright on the chair, but can't. I didn't know why I felt a little embarrassed on her behalf. I am about to close the door when I feel her hands on mine. “Don't leave me again. I know you've come to save me like

*Knox* Wes keeps trying to piss me off, but I ignore him once more. “Tess, let's leave.” I stretch my hands towards her direction, genuinely hoping she will take my hand and follow me.“I'm not going with you. I can't. I want to be here.” Tessa finally speaks. Her words spill softly and shakily. “Why would you rather be here? He doesn't even know how to take care of himself, talk more about taking care of you!” I try to hold down my frustration. “At least, I'm certain about him. I know Wes and his actions are clear to me!” She snaps. I wonder why she's feeling all emotional. All I'm doing is keeping her safe, and for the benefit of both of us, because I'm sure she doesn't want to have sex with me.“Fine. Let's have this discussion at home. I can't be with you in this place. It doesn't sit well, and anything can happen to you here. Look at how easy it is for me to let myself in, with their acclaimed security standard.” I say to Tessa. Wes growls as he stares at me keenly, his eye
