3- Mr Bodyguard

(Lily’s POV)

I was palming my face while trembling immensely, my heartbeat racing badly and I broke out in cold sweat.

Another nightmare huh, good lord it’s been a few days since it showed up.

I immediately sat up to calm myself down and when my breathing steadied I looked at the time, it was 4 in the morning.

Even if I try to sleep now I will not be able to so I went to walk in my garden.

I was watering my lovely plants and trimming some leaves. I loved this work. Whenever I was free I did it other times I asked someone else to do it.

It’s been a few days since the party and there is no letter or package I received since that day so I am assuming he understood it is a waste of time.

I went to my office and just like that spent my day but then when I reached my mansion, Aria was panicking there.

“What’s the matter Aria?” I asked, getting concerned seeing her face and she pointed towards the backyard of my mansion.

I frowned and got confused, has she seen a ghost there?

She got up while trembling and I followed her behind as we reached the backyard where my garden was present.

She again pointed towards something and I looked up to see what was bothering her at his place.

I looked closely and saw that there was something like a human hand and just froze at my place. 

No no this must be fake for sure, the bastard must be playing with me. 

Just when I thought this was all a fake game to scare me, .Aria forwarded me a letter along with a pen drive. 

I took it and read the letter. 

“Dorogaya(Sweetheart) I had told you not to ignore me but you never listen huh? 

Anyways please accept my gift(pendrive) as I have already punished this guy for the sin he committed by touching you, love. 

Avaya Lyubov (your love)”

I immediately rushed back inside to my hall and opened my laptop while inserting the pen drive. 

There was a single video on it and I played it while Aria also looked nervously. 

The video started and I saw a man tied to a chair with his head hung low and his body had marks of torture. 

He was beaten quite badly and blood was oozing out of his fresh wounds. Suddenly a man arrived and untied his hands. 

He was so weak that he could not even fight for himself. The man lifted his head and I saw the face of the man. 

He looked quite familiar and then I remembered that this was the guy who tried to touch me at the party and also spiked my drink. 

Before I finished remembering the events of that day, he was screaming in pain as the knife was piercing his back while drawing some pattern. 

I frowned and felt frightened all of a sudden seeing his condition. And then after that, the man was again punched. 

I wanted to close this but I needed to make sure that the thing I saw in my garden was not genuine. 

Aria had palmed her face by now and I told her to go and contact the police while I again stared at the laptop screen. 

“Ahhhggg” The man screamed with so much pain that my heart sank at his voice. 

How can they be so cruel? 

But then I saw that they moved an electric saw and cut both his hands and that was it.

I closed the laptop and plamed my face while my whole body was trembling. 

Just who is this guy and how can he kill someone for just this reason? 

It's not that I was sympathetic with the man, no but he did not deserve to die for that small mistake. 

“Miss Rivera we want all the details regarding the letters and everything” The officer asked me and I nodded and told them everything. 

“You must not have thrown the letters and taken the situation lightly,” The man said and I sighed, yes he is right I fucked up big time. 

 “Anyways we will investigate everything but you need to hire a bodyguard as soon as possible” 

“What??” I almost screamed when hearing him and he nodded while explaining to me again with his lecture. 

He barks nonstop, I would have kicked him out but I have no choice right now. 

I was standing at my door's entrance while waiting for my bodyguard. 

Yes, I had to hire a bodyguard because everyone was bugging me. Also, I needed to protect myself so this was better than dying. 

But still, I do not like anyone close to me all the time and getting a bodyguard meant just that. 

A car stopped there and a man appeared in my sight. He was quite tall, had worn a black luxury suit and his hair was thick, dark black and curly. 

He started walking towards me while taking big strides and I got intimidated by him almost immediately. 

All the while we reached till my entrance his hands were tugging the sleeves of the shirt. 

“Hello Miss Rivera, I am your bodyguard Xander Morozov,” he said and something instantly clicked with me. 

His voice is just like him. 

I shook hands with him and gave a small nod to him. He will be staying with me all the time and living under the same roof as me. 

Also not to mention his muscular body and handsome face that were making knots in my stomach. 

I have a bad feeling about this one.
