I made my way to the kitchen counter, feeling his gaze on my back. He was still standing there, in the living room, like a statue. He had been following me everywhere I went since he arrived at the door. I was a little bit skeptical because I had never seen his face before. He had introduced himself as David, my husband’s bodyguard. But why did I need a bodyguard? And why didn’t my husband tell me anything about him?I instantly got scared and reached out for my phone in my back pocket. I pretended to get some water from the fridge so he wouldn’t follow me into the kitchen. I texted my husband urgently: “Hey, there’s somebody here I don’t know. He’s really tall and he looks really scary. Did you ask him to come around or what’s going on? I’m really scared.”I sent the text message and put my phone back into my pocket quickly, waiting to hear a beep sound. I glanced at the living room and saw that he was still there, staring at me with his dark eyes. He was wearing a black suit and a b

“So, um, permit me to ask. I know that I’m not supposed to ask such things, especially when I’m trying to keep a professional relationship with my clients,” David started to speak and I paused drinking the coffee I was drinking and paid attention to what he had to say. He looked kind of uneasy and I was just anticipating the worst from him.“Oh, go on. I mean, you can say anything to me,” I said, “but only if you’re comfortable with me. And we can just chat, yeah? I’m sorry, I’m probably talking too much,” I said, fumbling. My heart was already racing with how close he was to me at that point. I was heated up from the inside. I wasn’t sure if I had felt that way with anyone before, not even with Henry. But I wanted to embrace it and act like an adult, so he wouldn’t feel like I was crushing on him. Because I really was. And I really hoped that I wasn’t blushing at the time, because it would be an epic disaster. I would die of embarrassment, literally.“I know I’m not even in the right

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to get you upset,” He said, wiping my tears while I held his hand.“And I didn’t mean to let you see me cry. It’s crazy how…” I said and let out a fry and painful laugh.“Take it easy,” he said squeezing my chin lightly while I forced a smile.I didn’t know what it was but I felt at ease while he was comforting me. It was the first time I felt like I had to be myself. Plain me and feel good about it.“It’s fine,” I said sniffling while I gently pushed his hands away from mine then fake a smile.I used my palm to wipe my tears from my face picked up my cup of coffee and took a sip from it.“This is really good don’t you think?” I asked trying to change the topic and lighten the mood.He understood the assignment picked up his own glass took a sip then nodded in appreciation.“It tastes lovely. Just like gold. Just like you,” he said and it made me blush.“Hey, are you flirting with me?” I asked nudging his shoulder while he chuckled.“No, I’m not. I promise,”

“Yes, but it still feels really weird to have him leave like that, especially after how hard I’ve worked on this marriage. It’s just not fair on my part, honestly. But I guess it’s just my fault, you know. Because I actually did something terrible and I guess it’s just karma trying to pay me back or something like that.” I said sadly, looking down at my toes. I was fidgeting with my fingers while I felt his keys on me. He was silent. He probably didn’t know exactly what to say. He didn’t really understand the whole story, so I decided to continue.He cleared his throat and said, “Oh, you know there’s no such thing as karma, right?”I rolled my eyes with a laugh. “Oh, please. Karma is definitely real and it’s the reason why I’m going through all of this. You don’t understand. I’m not sure you ever will.” I said to him and he just kept a straight face, staring at me while I looked back into his eyes. We stayed like that for what seemed like a couple of minutes, but of course it must’ve b

“It’s a good thing you’ve done with him now,” he says with a chuckle. I smiled at him but I was truly happy. Some part of me was still in love with Rick, I can’t lie but at the same time, I couldn’t admit it.“So you are opposing your husband in this search for your son?” He asked and I was surprised as I looked at him with my mouth wide open.“What do you mean?” I asked and he shrugged.“You are running your own search team while your husband has his. I think it’s really weird if you two have the same goal in mind,” he said and I laughed out loud, nervously.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I denied, throwing my face away but still looking at him from the corner of my eye. How did he get that information?“You know… that only means that one person has ulterior motives. One person out of you two. Who could that be?” He asked again and I cleared my throat nervously. I was interested in that conversation no matter what.“Uhm… I need to use the bathroom,” I said and got down from

“Yeah, yeah, sure. It’s not a problem,” I said, smiling at him and holding his shoulder. One thing about me? I was compassionate. And I would sacrifice my laughter for someone else’s even if I did not know the person!David was a good example. Normally, I would have freaked out and gotten rid of him, but that didn’t seem like a good idea at that time.I suddenly remembered I was about to check my phone for the unknown number that was calling me.I opened my phone instead and read the text. “I know where your son is. He’s safe… maybe. But he’s not dead and you can get him by tomorrow but I need your help.” I read that out loud as David listened attentively.I gasped as I read the message, feeling a surge of mixed emotions. Hope, fear, anger, confusion. Who sent this? How did they find my son? What did they want from me?I quickly tapped on the message, hoping to see more details, but there was nothing else. Just a phone number that I didn’t recognize. I looked at David, who was still h

It only made me know that no matter what, he did not know my husband personally.“We are listening but this had better not be rubbish,” David said and I almost laughed at how well he was pulling off the fiance act. He was good.“I know where your son is,” he said and I had to strain my ears a little more to make sure I get everything he was saying.“Our son? How do you know he’s our son?” David asked, playing along.“Put the phone on record,” I whispered to David who quickly did just that.“Because I saw his birth certificate. And his picture. And his DNA test results,” John said quickly.I almost broke a bone laughing because my son was barely days old and wasn’t given a birth certificate yet because I had not even decided on a name for the boy yet. I instantly knew he was bullshitting probably for attention, fame or money because we were the most talked about in the entire country because of our predicament.David looked at me to confirm the information and I laughed shaking my head

“Answer it,” I whispered to David, urging him to find out.He nodded and pressed the green button, putting the phone on speaker as well.“Hello?” David said, sounding casual.“Yes, hello boss. What a pleasant surprise,” David said respectfully and politely. I bit my lip, feeling uneasy. Why was he calling Henry his boss? I thought he was just a guard working for him. But it was still something that was a little bit off. I couldn’t really place my hands on it but I didn’t really think much about it.“Oh, please David. You’re always very used to this. Always cracking jokes when no jokes are supposed to be made. How’s it going with my wife?” Henry said and they looked at me very nervously and anxiously. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Why was he sounding so casual with him? I thought that they were supposed to have a professional relationship. This seemed more like a friendship to me. A very close friendship by the way.“It’s actually going pretty well with your wife. I mean, we’v
