DIANA“My what??” I gasped turning to the man standing across the street with wide eyes. “Your bodyguard.” He repeated like it wasn’t something out of the world.“You hired a bodyguard?” I turned back, and my mouth parted. “Why?” “To ensure you’re safe when I’m not there to protect you.” He said plainly.“I don’t need protection!” I scoffed, my brows drawing together.“You have people stalking you.” He stated. “You In fact do need protection.”“It was just one person, and he was just a journalist.” I shook my head, rubbing my forehead as I leaned back in my seat.“And what if he wasn’t?” He retorted. I rolled my eyes glancing out the window again - he was still there, staring.“But he was,” I stressed, looking away from him. “Having a bodyguard isn’t necessary.”“It is.” His voice was firm.“You’re overreacting.” I purse my lips.“Until you get hurt?” He scoffed through the line. “I won’t let that happen.”“One day, all this talk about us will die down, and people will lose interes

DIANA I turned away almost immediately, my grip tightening on the mug in my hands. I thought with the shades and the hat, no one would recognize me. How did he even know I would be here??Did he trail me from my apartment?? From the way he looked, he didn’t seem like a harmless reporter. He towered over everyone that walked by, and his face didn’t scream anything remotely close to friendly. He looked like he could pin to the ground and crush me beneath his feet in a second. What did he want with me? Mr Leota’s warnings rang in my ear - what if he’s armed? What if he wanted to kidnap me? Or worse? “Someone’s watching me.” I whispered, my eyes fixed on Lilly, laced with fear. “What?” She asked, her brows creased in confusion. “Across the street,” I said, my voice low. She turned to the window pane, her eyes glancing only for a moment before turning back to me, “There are several people on the street, Dee.”“The tall guy, the one leaning on the lamp post.” I said, my voice fi

DIANA The silence that radiated in the cafe was a stark contrast to the discord my mind has been subjected to. As I sipped the latte in my hands, I could not savor the smoothness, or the smell, as I usually did. My mind was far from here. It was in my apartment, two days ago, listening to his words. His warnings. He had told me to more careful - why was that? I understood that my Identity had become public, but sooner or later that would have happened anyways, due to the nature of my work. But the worry in his eyes shook me greatly. Like he truly believed there was an impending doom waiting for me. Was it because of his position? His status? Or did he have some crazy ex that would hunt me down and kill me? I scoffed, taking another sip. That wouldn’t surprise me. Right now, I couldnt know for sure what he was talking about, because before I could ask, he received a call and left abruptly.We haven’t spoken since then. To be fair, I haven’t spoken to anyone since, I just

DIANA I grabbed his neck, locking his lips in a passionate kiss. His eyes widened slightly at my sudden action, but he closed it slowly, grabbing my waist and pulling me closer in the kiss.I stared at Kevin with the corner of my eye, the shock that was pasted on his face eventually gave way to pure anger, his fist tightened as he watched us, my lips curled up as I deepened the kiss, watching him turn sharply, stomping away.The moment he was out of sight, I pressed my hands to Jeromes chest and pulled away from him gently. He stared down at me with an amused gaze, his brow raised as he watched me.“What?” The corner of my lips twitched as I cleared my throat, taking a step back.“Why the change of heart?” He smirked at me.“It’s just a kiss.” I shook my head, rubbing a hand through my hair. “-and everyone has seen it, apparently.”He stared at me for a moment, and I barely managed to keep his gaze.“Let me take you home.” He said. He didn’t seem bothered enough by my actions to ques

DIANA What was he doing here? I turned to the side with fluttering lashes, my gaze catching Annie’s flustered form. She fidgeted as she tried to sit straighter, her eyes resigning to her hand pressed together in the desk, twiddling in fear.“Why are you silent?” Jerome raised a brow at her. “You were very loud a moment ago.” “Sir, it’s not what you think I - “ Annie’s voice quivered as she tried explaining, but he only cut her off.“Who else dared to insult you here?” He swiveled his chair to me, cutting her off sharply.“It’s not necessary, I - “ I shook my head, but he only leaned forward, cutting me off.“Answer my question.” His eyes were sharp as he stared at me.I turned slightly, glancing at the women beside Annie. They were the ones gossiping about me in the bathroom.I could only imagine what they were all thinking right now.I bit the inside of my cheek, blood rising to my face. I turned back to him, surprised that he’d followed my gaze to the women seated, his eyes dar

DIANA “I still can’t believe it.” A woman spoke as their steps drew closer to the sink in front my stall.“I know right?” Another woman added “Of all the women he could be with, he chose her??” I stilled at their words, my brows drawing closer as I recognized the second voice.That sounds like Annie. “You should know the type of man he is by now, he probably just wanted to taste something different.” Another woman spoke with a condescending scoff, I leaned back in my seat, blood draining from my face.“Well, he has had his fair share of different kinds of women.” The first woman chuckled.“You mean unfair share-“ the second lady stressed, her voice laced with amusement. “-that man has half of the women in New York swooning over him.” “Including me!” The first voice laughed, heels clicking and the tap rushing when someone turned it open.“Well, It’s not a surprise. Not only is he a billionaire, he has the face that could rival with a Greek god.” The third woman was so close to my st
