Chapter 27

Dawn.

What is special with my second name? People usually hate their second names because it's ugly. As for me, I hate it for a reason. I despise it for a reason. I was born at dawn, and my mother died at dawn. After her death, it's like the world took me the beauty of dawn to the point that I don't wanna see it anymore.

“Dawn,” but what is this that I am feeling everytime Chase calls me by that name? Why is my chest pounding as if he erased the cruel history I had? It was like music to my ears. Everytime he utters it, it makes me forget everything—the pain.

“Stop it,” I muttered and smirked. I came back staring at the sea as I heaved a heavy sigh.

“What? It's a beautiful name, just like you.” My cheeks burned when he said that naturally as if there was nothing wrong to say it in front of me.

“What is it that you like about me, Chase?” I suddenly got curious about that. I don't see anything special to me for him to fall for me. I'm just the heiress of the Sanchez, tryi

  • Guarding Her Heart   Chapter 28

    Chapter 28I kissed him without any hesitation. It might be reckless of me, but I didn't care anymore. The moment I reached his lips beyond his tall height, I didn't think of anything. I disregard everything that matters. I disregard all my responsibilities in my hands. I only allowed myself to feel that moment—to enjoy that moment as we both shared another passionate kiss. I could not hear anything. I feel like we were deaf and we vanished from our worlds. I can't hear anything except from the loud beating of my chest. It happened so fast. I just found myself drowning from that kiss. My hands were wrapped on his nape and his hands were exploring my body simultaneously. “C-Chase,” I moaned. In a blink of an eye, I felt how he removed my bra as if it was just a piece of cake to him. I could say that he was an expert on these things. “Ohhh…” I kept moaning like an idiot. My eyes were closed with the sensation that was filling my system. I felt the cold wall as Chase pinned me there

  • Guarding Her Heart   Chapter 29

    Chapter 29It was our last day in Pangasinan. As we spent our last night in the hotel, we decided to watch a movie together with lots of food. This time, I didn't let him cook. Instead, we just ordered. “I have a favor to ask you,” I uttered in the middle of the movie. His brows raised but his eyes remained on the television in front of us. He was indeed having fun with the movie that we are watching. “What is it?” He asked, while eating the chips. “Can we keep this a secret?” The moment I mentioned that, I captured his eyes immediately. His eyes turned at me and I saw questions that filled his eyes. Perhaps, he was confused why I wanted to hide our relationship. “Why? Do you plan to marry Otis?” He chuckled, still taking everything as a joke. “Of course not,” I heaved a sigh. “I just want to hide this from them first. You know, I haven't had a boyfriend before and I don't want to shock them. Besides, I have to talk to Otis first and clarify all the things,” I explained. I bit m

  • Guarding Her Heart   Chapter 30

    Chapter 30“I'm not marrying you,” I didn't know how I managed to look at him when I said those hurtful words. While staring at him, watching how he reacts, my heart was breaking into pieces. “I'm sorry, Otis.” That's all I could say. I don't want to break his heart, but I don't want to marry him, start a family with him, only to be lonely and lie to myself about what I really feel. “I don't want to live in regrets, Otis.” I looked away. “If I marry you, I'm sure that you will be a good husband. I already pictured you, treating me very well. But I also realized, what would I feel when that happens? Would I be happy in one roof with you? Perhaps, not… Because I do not feel anything for you, Otis. I love you, but as a friend.” “You'll learn to love me,” he said with strong desperation and determination. I could see pain running from his eyes but I can also see that he doesn't want to let me go that easily. “And if I don't?” I was killing myself every time I turned him down. “I don

  • Guarding Her Heart   Prologue

    Prologue “Dad, I have a lot of things to do. Where are you bringing us?” Otis Flynn, my brother, asked. We are on our way to the place where I don't know. Honestly, we don't have any idea where the hell Dad is taking us. He just picked us up from our condominiums, telling us that he has to bring us with him. “You're too impatient, Otis.” My father beside me commented. I remained silent beside him and chose to stare outside the window. My brother's trait of being impatient was passed by my mother. She hates waiting the most. “Is this a new mission? You could have just given me the details,” he looked at him from the passenger seat. “And what? One of you will mess it up because you trust yourselves so much? Heck, no.” He let out a sarcastic chuckle, shaking his head. “I never failed a mission, you know that well, Dad.” I knew that he was mocking me. It was me who once failed a mission that my father gave me. Otis smirked arrogantly, shaking his head. Even without glancin

  • Guarding Her Heart   Chapter 1

    Chapter 1 Adira’s POV “ADIRA!” Ace threw the gun towards me as the chaos began at the funeral of my mother. Since all the visitors are assassins and part of the Mafia world, I didn't hear any of them scream because of fear from all the gunshot that began to fill the entire place. I saw people leaving—those are the clans who didn't want to be involved. But then, it doesn't mean that I can trust them. I know why they came here. It is not to mourn with us, that would be hypocritical. They are here to watch and observe me, studying how I move so they could attack me soon. I shot all the gangsters and assassins right in front of the altar. I didn't bother to move anymore because I could simply kill them without doing much effort. I watched the dagger pass in front of my face, before I shifted my eyes to my left and saw a woman who threw that to me. Vanessa Delfin, the heiress of their clan. I saw how annoyance ran through her round eyes. This woman has been eyeing me and I knew tha

    Chapter 2Oliver’s POV “She graduated as Summa Cum Laude with the course of Business Management,” a smirk quickly drew beside my lips when I heard that information. Business Management, huh? That's the usual course of all the assassins and gangsters in this world. Well, mostly, the heirs and heiress. Probably, it is to prepare them in handling the business of their clans. But hell, she was the Summa Cum Laude. That is hard to achieve. “Where did she study?” The more I got to know about her, the more she piqued my interest. “Harvard,” my lips parted with amusement. “She's really something,” I muttered. “Their business is furniture. They are designing and making one. But right now, it's not in good condition either,” Jaylor’s face crumpled when he mentioned that. This damn man is my second hand. I could trust him more than trusting Otis—who is my brother. “She’s handling that now. Also, she's a good shooter—like you, she's also good at using daggers and swords. She does boxing,

    Chapter 3Adira’s POV “What if I hire you as my personal bodyguard?” I asked, trying to make a great deal with Louis right here. His brows arched before he quickly shook his head, declining my offer without even giving it a thought. I rolled my eyes at him and lost my hope. “I'm the head of you people, Ms. Sanchez. Besides, your father won't agree, you know that well.” My face crumpled as I frowned. “I just can't trust anyone,” yeah, I have trust issues now and they cannot blame me for that. My father was betrayed and as a result, our clan is at its lowest point. Second, there have been a lot of spies lingering around us. It would be hard for me to hire someone and trust him. What if he is just acting up until he gets my trust and then, viola, he would eventually attack as, too. “Adira, we will make sure that whoever you will hire is qualified and trustworthy. I got you,” he winked at me as if he was telling me that I can trust whoever he will find for me. “Hey, the applicants

    Chapter 4I was taking huge steps as I marched out of there. I headed to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water and drank it at once as if I hadn't drunk water for a week. “Woah, are you upset?” Ace asked when I crumpled the bottle while chasing my breathing. “How can't she? That guy defeated her. Take note, he's an ordinary guy and yet she lose ove hi—”“I can also cut your tongue, Louis.” He lost all his words when I threw my gaze at him, giving him my deadly eyes. “Chill. Maybe he's just really good. Besides, that's a good thing. You want a stronger bodyguard, right?” Whatever Ace tells me to make me feel better, I just can't accept the fact that I lost over that guy. My pride is fucking shrinking! “Tell me about him,” now, he captured my interest towards him. “Well, his name is Chase Montereal. He's the same age as you and he worked as a Manager of a restaurant before. That's all I gathered,” Louis said as he simply shrugged. “What? He doesn't have any background in fighting

  • Guarding Her Heart   Chapter 26

    Chapter 26I set up the table in silence. Chase was not talking as well after he told me not to marry Otis. I can feel the awkwardness that was invading the two of us. He served the food he cooked at the table and we started to eat together without saying a single word. We were crossing each other and looking away so fast. “Is it bad?” I was stunned when he finally broke the ice. I thought he's not gonna talk to me anymore. “Did I say that it's bad?” I sounded grumpy with that. I avoided his eyes to get rid of my conscience. “Look, I don't want you to feel like I am obliging you to like me, okay? I don't need you to give me an answer, too. If you will marry Otis, then I will accept it with all my hea—”“Shit, your saying a lot.” I complaint as I stood up since I'm done eating already. “I'm not marrying him,” I left him that answer before I started to clean some of the dishes. I couldn't help but to flash a huge smile when I saw how he was glued on his seat there as if he was still

    Chapter 25It was a very passionate kiss. I never flew over the moon, but I felt like I was flying around the world when I felt Chase invading my lips. “C-Chase,” I moaned when he sucked my lips and I felt his hands travelling around my body while I was pinned on the wall. I could not tell him to stop, because I know that if I do that, I will kill myself. My eyes remained closed and I felt like I lost all my strength with my legs trembling already. Beyond the air conditioner installed in the entire hotel room, I suddenly felt so hot. In every touch of his body and skin on my body, I am losing my mind; and in every movement of his tongue and lips, I am losing my soul. “W-What… are we doing?” I managed to utter despite the feeling of losing myself already. I felt so lost in the woods but wanting to be lost at the same time. He stopped, and that was when I opened my eyes. Our eyes met immediately, and I knew that those seducing stares were melting me away. His forehead landed on mine

    Chapter 24“I'm kidnapping you!” My jaw dropped when he said that and drove the car so fast. He's what?“Stop this now, Chase! You don't know what you're doing! Otis is waiting for me!” I keep shouting at him but no matter what I say and do, Chase has made his decision and it cannot be shaken. He didn't listen to me until I lost my hope and chose to be silent in the backseat. “They will look for me,” I uttered behind him. I don't know if I want this to happen or not. For some reason, I felt like staying there and being kidnapped by him is the good option to escape all of this. “Where are we going? Answer me, Chase!” I hit the back of his seat again but he remained unbothered. He really treated me like a damn wind until we arrived at our destination that I don't know. I fell asleep on the way. When I woke up, I heard the roaring of the sea. My lips immediately parted when I saw the sea outside. I found Chase sitting in front of the car while watching the water. “Chase!” I exclaim

    Chapter 23I had already accepted my fate. Every night, I am trying to picture myself marrying Otis and starting a family with him. I know to myself that my heart is against it, but I have left with no choice. “You're meeting his family tonight?” Louis asked while we were in the middle of eating our breakfast.“Tell me if you need anything,” Ace said beside me, still worried about me. Weeks have passed and he's finally here with us. Dad didn't notice any bruises or wounds from him. He didn't know anything about what really happened. “I'm sure they will like you. Besides, you and Otis have been hanging out. Do you have feelings for him now?” I hate to ruin that huge smile from my father's smile. He looks so happy just by hearing about my upcoming wedding with Otis. How can I mess it up when he is this happy? “Not yet,” I moved my eyes away. I don't want him to see how much I am forced to do this. “Well, when you are married, you will learn to love each other.” I hope that is how i

You can't just come here like this!” Jaylor kept calling me while I was taking huge steps, entering the building of Otis’ condominium.“Open the goddamn door, Otis!” I growled like a beast while I was slamming the door really hard. If he doesn't open this yet, I will probably break this. “You're making a scene, Oliver!” Jaylor exclaimed, but I was too deaf to hear him out. “OTIS!” The door opened and I finally saw my damn twin brother. His brows met when he saw me outside.“What do you need?” He asked coldly. “You,” “OLIVER!”I quickly threw a punch at him as I barged inside his condo. His eyes became sharp after what I did. “What the fuck is your problem?!” Before he could even punch me back, I punched him again, making his lips drip red fluid even more.I grabbed his collar as I pinned him on the wall. “Why did you ask her to marry you, huh?! What the fuck are you thinking?!” I was fuming mad. I could not even tame the beast inside
