Alle Kapitel von The Bodyguard's Secret : Kapitel 91 – Kapitel 100

AVA DUVAL Everything happened so fast. The tension shifted, chills running down my spine. Three men stood before us, the young boy in their hostage. His eyes dropped as though he had accepted his fate. Ethan hissed. “I was thinking we'd come from behind, but since it's come to this, we should try to…”“Negotiate,” I muttered loud enough for the both of them to hear. I didn't know anything about negotiating with killers and abductors, but they clearly had the upper hand. With one slash of their knives, the boy's head would be rolling on the floor, while his lifeless body dropped. Winnie smirked, clicking her tongue. “They do not negotiate. But let's try it.”She marched forward, dropping her weapon with her hands surrendered in mid air. Ethan watched from the side, blending with the darkness while Winnie did her thing. And as for me, I had already been caught with my terrible choice of clothing. Yellow. Who trudges through the woods for an assassin job in yellow?The

ETHAN COLE I quickened my feet wanting to reach her. But the crowd scattered, screaming for help. Suddenly, I could no longer see even the tip of her head. Smoke billowed, spreading through the room. My heart pounded, sweat pouring down my face. Heat rose to my throat, irritation blocking my airway. The ashy smoke had blurred my vision, tears threatening to fall. I blinked them away. I could barely see through the commotion, as people pushed past me, crying for help. They forced their way through the door as the fire spread. I needed to find her then leave. After all she was more than just my duty. My mind raced through different possibilities, none more favourable than the other. She couldn't have left without me, especially when there was a stampede going on. Human beings who claimed to be dignified racing to save their heads… to survive…Wait. Everything stopped, including the numerous thoughts running through my head. My eyes widened as realization struck me like lig

ETHAN COLE My feet trudged down the road slowly, as the rain poured down on me. Light flashed across the sky as a rumbling sound echoed throughout. Strands of wet hair slipped over my eyes, but that didn't bother me one bit How could one question cause so much damage to us? Love?I was still trying to figure that out. Or maybe I had already done that. Love wasn't calculating. If it were, then I would be a master at it. It tugged at your heart, made you do foolish things, and left you broken and bitter. Somehow, I was ready for that. Ethan Nikolai Cole was broken, foolish and bitter. What more could a measly thing like love do? If love meant sacrificing yourself for someone else then I was madly in love with Ava. I loved her, and I foolishly let her go without stopping her. I couldn't even blame VAR for my inability to communicate. That failure belonged entirely to me. She was head over heels for me, and that suffocated me in the best way possible. But danger was l

ETHAN COLEAnd just like that I was back to square one. Not the kind that I could easily swim my way through. I sat on the seat, staring at the screen before me. VAR's message was still open, reminding me of how foolish I was. Taking a deep breath, I let it out carelessly. My head spun, thoughts jumbled, and the silence in the room spoke louder words. Ava hated me. She finally saw me for the monster I was. A person filled with so much deceit that it hurts to even think about it. “How did she even know my password?” I asked rhetorically. The answer was laid bare. I underestimated her, and that led to my downfall. Just then, a message popped up on the screen. Serena. What was she doing texting me by this hour? The night had already gone bad, and there was nothing else to be anxious about. The only thing that was left was to wait for my death. I clicked on the notification banner just to see a picture of the product. My target product. Then it clicked. That commot

AVA DUVAL Loneliness. That was a pathetic feeling. It left you needy… wanting what you might never have. I did find the truth about VAR, and that alone worsened the case. The key to the secret room had exclusive documents stacked in it — ones about every single organization we'd partnered with, including VAR, and a bit of our recent technology. The failed ones to be exact. That organization had a shit ton of assets, and the deals they made with my father were mostly in their favour. It left me with the question of why. Digging through my memory, the answer had always been there, staring me in the face. Greed. They wanted more. Liam Curvy’s death was totally Ethan's doing, but the endgame? It was all connected to that organization. My head sunk deeper into the pillow. I stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering what he was doing at the moment. Ethan Nikolai Cole. My Niko. That bastard knew all about this… that was his sole purpose of coming here. I needed to f
