Semua Bab My Billionaire Bodyguard: Bab 71 - Bab 80

~ISLA~ Serena did end up fainting after Mr Lowe handed her the keys to the mansion.He then had to carry her in after handing us our key.I hesitated and wanted to let him know that this was way too much but before I could utter a word, Jaxon had already grabbed the key and was making his way into the house.I followed behind him with a sigh and was awestruck but now beautiful the inside was. The moment I stepped in, the space opened into a grand living area with a double height ceiling that makes the house feel airy.It has high windows, allowing the sunlight to pour in.A statement chandelier hung dramatically from above while the furniture was arranged in a way that felt luxurious yet lived in with a sleek center table in the middle and a cozy fireplace With a TV mounted over it.It was way bigger than Jaxon's TV, that was for sure.We spent the next one hour exploring the house and everything had a modern finish. Even the stairs were floating.“This is way too much, Jaxon” As

~SERENA~ I had thought going to brunch with Isla and Jaxon was going to take my mind off Louis off Louis but I hadn't expected the conversation to circle back to him.I forgot just how much Isla was able to read through my smiles and laughter.“Have you told him that? Do you think he's too good for you?” Jaxon asked and I scoffed.“I mean, isn't it obvious?” I said with a nervous laugh but Jaxon didn't seem to be amused.“You need to tell him how you're feeling so he can decide on what he wants to do” He told me and I frowned.“Everything was just meant to be casual, I told him that already” Jaxon tilted his head.“I don't know him that well but Mr Lowe doesn't look like someone that does or likes Casual. That kind of man likes to settle down and if you're not ready for that then let him know” Jaxon told me and I pursed my lips.What If I told him and he disappeared from my life? I didn't want that.“Okay, enough with this serious talk. Today is a happy day, isn't it? I'm finally f

~ISLA~ I woke up to the feeling of Jaxon's arm around my waist.Last night had been a night of awakening and despite how terrified I was about the future, I had the best sleep last night. It felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.I hadn't realized just how bad my best was still now.I glanced up at Jaxon's face that was just directly above mine. He was still asleep and that permanent scowl on his face had disappeared.He looked so peaceful when he slept, like he didn't have a care in the world and maybe he didn't. Jaxon was one of the people I knew that lived his life spontaneously.I reached out to touch his face, unable to resist. How could a man be so handsome?Jaxon had the kind of face that could appear soft and still look hard at the same time. It was almost like he had a delicate type of beauty but due to how stormy and hard his eyes were, they added some edge to his face.I caressed his cheek with my thumb then caressed his lips with my thumb.“Kiss me” He suddenly said and I

~ISLA~I knew this was a bad idea.The minute I left my house, a bad feeling settled at the pit of my stomach but curiosity got the best of me. What did Aiden want from me? Why did he want to see me? Was it related to his murder charge? The key? I wasn't sure why I was so interested in what he had to say but maybe it was because I was scared about my own secret being revealed.Maybe I was scared that the life I had now would be damaged if my secret got out and I wanted to do everything I could to assure that wasn't the case.Even meeting Aiden up and trying to get as much information from him as possible.He asked to meet at a restaurant that wasn't too far from my house so that had calmed me down a bit but when I walked into the restaurant, there was no one else there except him.His eyes widened as soon as he saw me.. He sat up straight and I took a deep breath, clutching onto my bag as I walked up to the table he was seated at.“What do you want?” I asked as I took a seat and he

~ISLA~The first blow landed so hard it stole the air from my lungs before I could even react. Pain surged through my ribs, sharp and unforgiving, and I crumpled forward with a strangled gasp, my knees hitting the concrete floor with a dull crack. Before I can recover, a hand fists into my hair and yanks my head back, forcing a broken cry from my throat as my vision blurs.“Get up,” one of them growls.I barely register the words before another hit slams into my stomach. My body jerks violently, and I choke on the breath I can’t seem to draw in. The pain doesn’t stop there. It comes again and again—fists, boots, merciless and precise—until everything begins to blur together into one overwhelming wave of agony. I can’t tell where one strike ends and another begins.Somewhere in the distance, I hear shouting.“Stop! That’s enough! This isn’t what we agreed on!”Aiden.His voice cuts through the chaos, frantic and angry, but it feels so far away, like I’m hearing it underwater.“They’re
