All Chapters of FALLING FOR HIS BODYGUARD'S DAUGHTER : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Sebastian’s povI walked into the house like a deranged animal. I knew what I looked like right now. My eyes were bloodshot, and that was all because of what I heard tonight. Everything Penelope told me still sat on my mind, and I didn’t know if I could ever recover from it.My father might have killed Garcia by mistake, but that didn’t change the fact that he was the one who killed Garcia. And to make matters worse, was he the one who killed those men who investigated for me? All because he didn’t want the world to find out what had happened.But even Garcia’s death would still be on my father’s conscience because he was the one who caused it. If he hadn’t betrayed his friends, Garcia wouldn’t have gotten angry and confronted him. I didn’t know what to do. I was genuinely tired of this.And what hurts me more was the fact that my father couldn’t trust his son enough to tell him this. One day I would inherit the Vanderbilt legacy, and I would still not know what my father had done in

Penelope’s povI gasped with shock, and gradually my shock turned into relief when I saw that it was just Sebastian.“You are quite the brave one, aren’t you?” he murmured.He then clicked the door lock and pointed to the bed. “Sit down.”This was the first time that I would be sitting on Sebastian’s bed, and I did just so immediately. There was no time to think about anything else. I had to save my family and friends.“Are you here for our project?” he asked.I frowned. “No. I’m here for something entirely different.”“Let me guess. You are here so I can help you rescue Lena and her family.”I was surprised. “How did you know that?”“I figured out Roger must have told you my father’s next course of action. Man’s a monster.”I gasped in shock. Did he just call his father a monster? I thought he respected his father so much and feared him.“Sebastian, will you help us?” I asked. “Surely you don’t want your father to make another mistake.”He shook his head. “I’m afraid there’s nothing

Penelope’s povTwo days later, I was in my room when my father came to the door. He knocked. “Can I come in?” I sat upright. “Yes, Dad, please come in.” He came in and sat on my bed as usual, then ruffled my hair. “I have spoken with Mr. Vanderbilt. Your friend and her family can come back if they’ve gone, and if they are still here, they don’t have to leave.” My eyes widened widely. “Really?” He avoided my eyes. “Yes.” I took his hand. “Dad, you don’t need to put yourself in danger or constantly dip your hand into things that do not resonate with your conscience. What have you bargained with Mr. Vanderbilt this time?” He stood up. “It’s nothing you should know. Just do well to tell your friend this.”I watched him walk away, and I couldn’t help but worry.Ever since everything had started, my father had constantly put himself in situations that could get him into trouble because of me. I knew he would never admit it, but I also knew that he was trying to protect me. And

Penelope’s POV I opened my eyes slowly and blinked. The light was too bright, and the world seemed to be spinning around me. I blinked again.Where am I?I could hear a monitor beeping, and I looked. I looked at the tubes and wires that were passed through my body, and I became alarmed. From the corner of my eyes, I could see people, but they were blurry. Then I could hear voices echo in my head. Penelope, are you okayPenelope, can you hear me? Penelope this… Penelope that.I wanted to scream, and I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. It felt like I was trapped somewhere with no way to escape. Then slowly, something started to clear up, and I saw Sebastian holding my hand.Then at the far end of the room, I saw my father rushing in.Then I could see Mrs. Vanderbilt and somebody else at the other end. I was guessing it was Theodore. “Penelope, Penelope, can you hear me?” They kept asking me.“Penelope.”But soon, everything became blurry again as I could feel my consciousness

Penelope’s POVThree days later, I was back home, and all I could hear around was how Sebastian spoke rudely to Madeline and told her that I was better than her. I was horrified. How could that have happened? Why did it happen? And why in front of everyone? I couldn’t understand what was going on and what it was with Sebastian these days. It made me feel like he was probably trying to make up for something.Could what happened to me have been an accident? Perhaps it was his father that was involved in it and he felt guilty. But I didn’t distort instantly. Mr. Vanderbilt, no matter how terrible, would never stoop to that extent to do that to me. Especially since my father had always said that Edward Vanderbilt was a man of his word.At home, Lena was allowed to follow me to the house. She stayed with me, helping me to do things. She would cook for me whenever I didn’t feel like eating the food that the maid prepared. She knew I loved ramen so much, and sometimes she just made it for me
