She couldn't believe her father would send him, of all people, to protect her. As they entered the house, Steve greeted them with a warm smile, but Andrianne could see the twinkle in his eye as he exchanged a knowing look with her.Lucas seemed pleased with Steve's presence and even asked about his qualifications as a bodyguard. Andrianne sat in silence, unable to voice her thoughts or feelings about the situation. Steve explained that he had extensive training in martial arts and self-defense, as well as experience working in security.After the brief introduction, Steve escorted Andrianne to her room, assuring her that he would do everything in his power to protect her.

CHAPTER 37.Steve’s demeanor changed, and Andrianne could see the anger in his eyes as he glared at her. “You’re telling me that you’re married to that man? That you’re happy with him?” he asked, his voice low and menacing.Andrianne felt a twinge of fear in her chest but she held her ground. “I didn’t say I was happy,” she replied evenly. “But it’s not for you to question my life choices.”Steve took a step closer to her, towering over her small frame. “Andrianne, you can’t seriously expect me to believe that you’re happy in a loveless marriage. You deserve better than that.”Andrianne was taken aback by Steve’s words. She had never spoken to him about her marriage or her feelings towards Lucas. “How do you know it’s loveless?” she asked, trying to sound confident.Steve let out a bitter laugh. “It’s written all over your face. I know you, Andrianne. You can’t hide your emotions from me.”Andrianne felt a pang of sadness as she thought about the past. Steve had always been able to re

CHAPTER 39.Andrianne's heart raced as she thought about the consequences of Steve being fired. She knew her father too well and his motives for hiring Steve in the first place. Her father was a powerful man, and she knew he had a lot of connections. She feared that if Steve was fired, her father would get someone else to replace him, someone who might not have her best interests at heart. Andrianne quickly came to her senses, realizing that having Steve as her bodyguard was her best chance at staying safe."Lucas, please don't fire Steve," Andrianne pleaded with him, her voice trembling slightly.Lucas looked at her with a mixture of concern and confusion. "Andrianne, I don't understand. You seemed so unhappy with Steve earlier. Why do you suddenly want him to stay?"Andrianne took a deep breath and tried to explain her fears to Lucas. "My father is a dangerous man. He hired Steve for a reason, and if he's fired, my father will just find someone else to replace him. I don't trust any

CHAPTER 41.As the night wore on, Lucas and Andrianne settled into the couch to watch a movie together. It was a romantic comedy, but neither of them paid much attention to it. They were more interested in the fact that they were sitting together, alone, in the quiet of the night.Andrianne snuggled into Lucas' side, feeling safe and secure. She had always been attracted to him physically, but until now she had never allowed herself to indulge in those feelings. Now, with him so close, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him.As the credits rolled on the TV screen, Andrianne and Lucas sat in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Thanks for suggesting it."Andrianne smiled back at him. "I'm glad you liked it," she said. "It's one of my favorites."Lucas stood up and stretched his arms.

She turned around to see Steve, her ex-college boyfriend and current bodyguard, walk in. His face was twisted in anger, and Andrianne could feel her heart rate quicken in response."What are you doing here, Steve?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady."I came to get you back," he said, his voice laced with bitterness. "I saw you last night with that guy, Lucas. You're supposed to be with me, Andrianne."Andrianne felt her blood boil at his words. "Lucas is my husband, Steve," she said firmly. "Even if it is a contracted marriage, we have an agreement. And you have no right to come here and demand anything from me."Steve's expression darkened even further. "I have every right," he said, taking a step closer to her. "I love you, Andrianne. I've loved you since college. Don't you remember?"Andrianne shook her head, trying to push the memories of thei

Something that sent a shiver down her spine. It was a small camera, hidden in the corner of the room.
