All Chapters of In Love With My Bodyguard : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

*Tessa*Knox remains quiet as we drive to the party. We are thirty minutes late, and as usual, I'm the cause of why we are late. A very quiet music plays in the car, giving the air such a lovely feeling as it fills the void of conversation between Knox and me.“Do you know you'd be seeing someone who makes you so happy at the party?” Knox says to me as we drive into Marcus’s party house. “And who will that be?” I ask, thinking through who could have access to Marcus' party, who's someone I care so much about to be happy about. I couldn't think of anyone and Knox isn't looking like he's ever going to help me guess who the person might be anyway. I sit in the car and wait for Knox to open the door for me. Knox gets down, walks over to my side of the vehicle and opens it for me. “Make sure you have fun tonight. Like I said, it's just a party. You can be as free as you wish to be. No one will hold you responsible.” Knox whispers to me as I step down from the vehicle. Knox and I did

*Knox*“Leave all of that worrying to me. I'd bear the cost of whatever is to come if that happens. We have the best person prepared to take the shot. We just need the best time to get into action.” Kara responds firmly. My anxiety grows knowing Kara doesn't trust me to take the shot at Dave. I know she knows it's not a thing that I wouldn't get. I just know it's more of the fact that she isn't sure I fully buy into their vision and plans, and that's a little true. I pace around a little, trying my best to keep things together, and I really hope there's no shot being taken because Tessa covers Dave fully, and there's no space for a proper view of Dave. “Get ready,” Kara says. I know I have to do something. Since it's left to me to secure Tessa. I walk towards Tessa and Dave, hoping she doesn't cause a drag, and she follows me without struggling. I get in front of her and say firmly. “Marcus needs you.”“Why?” She asks, without turning to look at me. Her gaze is fixed on Dave.I

*Tessa*I sit back in the room, grieving about how Knox spoke to me and how it was possible that he didn't care about me as much as I thought he did, when Marin pushes my door open and storms in.“Tess, how are you doing? I came immediately after hearing what happened to Dave on the news.” She drops her bag on the floor and rushes to sit beside me on the bed. “This has to stop, it's crazy. Now I wish he had not even come at all.”She squeezes me into a tight hug for a while.I didn't know the right words to say to her or how to explain what part of all that's going on with me hurts me the most. I just remained mute, enjoying her embrace. “Tess, speak to me. I know this hurts you greatly, but I can't let you keep it all in. You have to vent to feel free.” Marin says to me, her voice lower than usual. I know she's greatly concerned about me.I lean on her shoulders again, and tears flow down my cheeks. “I'm just tired. I don't know what else to do. I wish I could die.”“Stop that!” Mar

*Tessa* I force a smile on my face. Nothing feels beautiful about it, but I did anyway. I'd do anything to make sure Dave’s soul is happy wherever he is. “Let's get going,” Marin says, stretching her hands over me. I hold it firm. I'm sure Marin's hand is one I'd never let go, even till my old age, because she holds a high place in my heart, and I could never repay her for how loving she is to me.As we walk out of my room and down the stairs, I notice the silence. I try to sense if Knox is around.Subconsciously, I wish he would see me in my outfit so he can see how sexy I look and maybe realize that I'm not that small to be his girl.“I think Knox has gone,” I say out loud as we approach the exit door.“Yes. His car isn't parked outside either.” Marin responds as she looks out the door. “Who cares anyways. It's his loss that he isn't going to watch you in such a nice outfit, having fun.” I don't know if Marin is just faking to be an enemy of Knox because I don't really know how

*Tessa*I can barely understand why Knox’s girlfriend kept speaking to me if the only aim she had in mind before walking up to me was to confuse me even further. “If I need anyone to advise me about something or Knox, I want you to know that you are never going to be the first voice I choose to listen to,” I say plainly as I walk away from her. I didn't even look back to see if she was looking at me or following me behind.“Is everything alright? What did she say? You both were standing and talking to each other for so long. I could feel the tension, and trying not to interrupt you took all my strength.” Marin asks the moment I arrive in front of her. Her words race in haste, as if she has been anticipating a download of all we discussed. I don't think the next right thing for me to do will be to inform Marin about what K said. I don't want her to suspect Knox. Maybe I should say that I would not want what I said to be the truth if Marin finds someone to dig into him, and then we
