All Chapters of The Agent's Blood: The Bodyguard's Legacy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"May I know what kind of woman is your ideal, Captain?"Evander almost choked on his ice cream when the question was thrown at him so suddenly.Out of nowhere, it was uttered by the very person who secretly held his heart.For a long moment, the man gazed at the woman he adored, saying nothing. His lips were sealed, wanting to speak the truth but knowing his limits.His honesty, he knew, might cause trouble later."Ma'am," Evander finally replied after a lengthy silence.Elena's eyes widened. "M-me?""There's an ice cream stain. Would you like me to clean it, or will you do it yourself?" Evander added, annoyingly innocent.He stared intently at the corner of Elena's s lips, ripe and beautiful.For a moment, Elena thought his response was indeed an answer to her question, a description of Evander's ideal woman.Apparently not."I can clean it myself!" she snapped, sounding exasperated, stomping her foot. "Why are you suddenly talking about ice cream when I'm asking something serious? C

It took Evander a fraction of a second to process the sentence. He finally managed a hoarse, "O-of course," his voice breaking."May I?" Elena asked, making sure, stepping forward and pushing him back.Evander nodded.He was so utterly endearing, a stark contrast to the intimidating aura of the team captain he'd displayed moments earlier.Meeting the beautiful eyes of the woman before him made him flustered, and he quickly looked away.The man lacked the courage to meet Elena's gaze, his heart beating twice as fast as before. "It's you who likes me, not the other way around.""Jerk!" Elena slapped his broad chest, pushing him away. "Why do annoying people like you even exist?""Annoying, am I? But you like it!" Evander defended himself, secretly smiling faintly, pleased that he'd managed to tease Elena and make her sweet face flush instantly.They fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts, allowing themselves to be consumed by the warmth of the stunning afternoon, far from the worl

It only took a week to plan the engagement. The main event was held right after both families agreed, so quick. Time flowed like water, imperceptibly.The spectacular engagement in the Montgomery family attracted everyone’s attention. It appeared in news portals, becoming the main story of the union of two honorable families predicted to form a new power in the business world.Meanwhile, at the party, thousands of people looked happy. Only Evander stared at the stage with a cold expression.“Congratulations to you, Miss Elena,” he whispered hoarsely. His baritone voice was inaudible to anyone.How pathetic.Evander shouldn’t have been the one offering congratulations on her happy day, but rather the man standing beside her, exchanging engagement rings.What a cruel fate.His beloved, whom he could no longer hope for, had become someone else’s, not his.As he tried to calm his emotions, his gaze inadvertently met Elena's. This instantly locked him, unable to look away.Evander could ba

Evander was used to waking before dawn. His body was trained to stay alert, even moments after falling asleep in the arms of the woman he loved.He smiled, gazing at Elena's beautiful face, still lost in sleep. He never tired of admiring her. She was a gentle, graceful soul who shook his entire world, his heart, and his mind. Not a moment passed when he didn't think of Elena. No matter how busy he was, no matter what storms raged in his thoughts, Elena was always the calm that made him surrender.Just like last night, he couldn't resist his surging desire and possessiveness. The thought of the woman he loved belonging to someone else, honestly, was unbearable. Just imagining Elena standing at the altar, as she had at their engagement party yesterday, made his heart rebel in anger, let alone if...Evander closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, calming the ego and ambition swirling in his chest. When he opened them, he saw Elena's innocent, pure face in sleep, utterly captivating. Her s

Evander followed Julian's car, his heart heavy with worry and barely contained anger. Julian was already this aggressive, Evander couldn't imagine what the arrogant man would be like if he actually married Elena.He took a deep breath, trying to think calmly and rationally, reassuring himself that everything would be alright and hoping for the best.The boutique Julian headed to was, of course, a famous one. Evander hurried out as soon as their cars stopped, eager to make sure Elena was okay.And for the second time, Evander had to suppress his rage when he saw Julian yank Elena out of the car. The girl stumbled over her own feet as she tried to walk."Miss!" Evander quickly approached, intending to help. His eyes narrowed, glaring at Julian."I'm fine, Captain! Don't worry!" Elena said, smiling and glancing at Evander.Julian merely smirked. Seeing Evander's reaction made him want to toy with the man's feelings. He chuckled and pulled Elena closer by the waist, escorting her into the
