The Bodyguard's Secret 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 111 - 챕터 119

AVA DUVAL An agonizing pounding slammed at the back of my head, my gaze felt unsteady and amidst the hazy dots caused by the headache, my surroundings were pitch black. I inhaled deeply, dust clogging my nostrils. A cough cracked through my throat… fuck, even breathing was so much effort. The cold feeling of the room bit into my skin, and it was evident I wasn't in the comfort of my home… or the basement. I tried standing, maybe the lights were off, but that also caused me pain. My hands were tied to a chair, and each time I tried to untangle it, the wire pierced my hand, sharp pain coursing through my body. “Shit,” I cursed, gasping for air. Where was I? The last thing I recalled was Ethan's lips on mine, hands stroking my waist… then… “Ahh…” I gasped as a tight bag was yanked from my head. Air lodged into my throat, but it wasn't fresh air. A stench so foul rushed through my lungs, instant regret washing over me. My nose wrinkled.What the hell was going on? My eyes c

AVA DUVAL Serena was meant to do the investigation. That was how the plan was supposed to go… or so I thought. Still tied to a chair, my body slumped , physically exhausted. This wasn't supposed to take this long to get over with, and although the plan was as careless as keeping a child on the edge of a stairway, I had trust in those people. Trust had always found a way to fail me. Maybe that was why when I heard the heavy footsteps approaching, my heart leapt into my mouth. In a moment, the door flung open, a gust of wind rushed in filling my lungs with cold air.I raised my head, straining my eyes to see the two large figures towering over me — two large figures with weapons. “You're up sweetheart. That's good,” Seth said, his voice ashy. The muscle beneath my eye twitched, my mind running through the plan we'd made at the basement. Was the plan a bust? I tried so hard not to look at Ethan who stood by Seth's side, tapping on his gun. My face crinkled at his words

AVA DUVAL Sweat dripped from my scalp trickling down to my lips. The salty and dirty feeling left a disturbing taste in my mouth. I tried to control my breathing. My heart slammed against my ribs, pounding so loudly I could barely hear anything… Too loud to decipher my emotions at the moment. Everything was happening so fast. Faster than I could anticipate. Amidst the chaos, I could hear the ticking sound of the bomb. Each tick made my jaw tense. I bit hard on my tongue, a metallic taste resting on my tongue. I tried to speak — to say something reassuring, but my tongue was tied. My throat had locked the words away, and only air rolled from my mouth. Lily was coming. That was what they had said, but each time I glanced at the door, only the enemies trooped in. How many more minutes till I die? I didn't know, my eyes were blurred by tears, and a pounding headache that slammed against my skull. Was I wrong? Wrong for trusting Ethan… wrong for getting involved in something so

ETHAN COLE We had all been holding our breath or maybe that was what it felt like. A long silence stretched through the room. Our bodies had slowly adapted to the thick smell of blood in the air. Maybe it was relief, or reflection, but the silence spoke volumes. I stared at Seth's unmoving body — my teammate, the one who had betrayed us. For a very brief moment, I thought he'd rise up, or that his fingers would twitch. But the more the quietness hung in the air, the clearer it became that we were now true enemies of VAR. Invading Serena's fortress and killing one of the most valued agents? Yeah, we were going to be on the run for a very long time. I swerved, facing my teammates. They all stared at me as though waiting for my command. Tucking my pistol in my belt, I ran my fingers through my hair. “Should we say this is a victory?” I asked, the corner of my lips tilting. Winnie wiped the sweat from her face, then shrugged, probably too tired to even comprehend

AVA AND NIKOLAI Nikolai pulled her close, kicking the door to her room shut. With the leaves fluttering outside and the house perfectly empty, this was the best time to have him all to herself. Ava had been busy — working since the crack of dawn, but now… she was his tonight. Every night. Ava chuckled, holding him close to her. She could feel his chest pressing against hers. The steady beating of his heart made her more needy than ever.“Father's out with some friends… so, what do you want to do?” she asked, smiling from ear to ear. Spending half the day with her father was the most overwhelming thing, but someone needed to learn how to operate the family business. That person was her. Nikolai's hand slid down to her slender waist, he stroked it gently, a light gasp leaving her lips. Damn it, she'd forgotten how sweet he could be. Like a fucking candy, only more addictive.He bent over to her ear, whispering in a tone so low, she clenched her pussy. “To make you scream.”
