Groaning in pain, I press down on the wound but the bullet is still wedged inside my arm. I've lost a lot of blood as I walked. If they come back for Pan, they will definitely be able to follow my blood trail. I can't meet Pan right now or he will be in greater danger. I don't even know where he ran to.
The blood is making my sleeve sticky. I need to somehow get the bullet out. Slumping against a tree, I sit down. I have no energy left to continue. I tear off my blood-soaked sleeve and close my eyes. I can call Pan to make sure he is safe.
Pulling out my phone with my left hand, I click on his name but there's no signal. "Of course there would be no signal here." I laugh at the irony.
Deciding to sort out my injured right arm, I try to pull out the bullet with my fingers but it is too
By the time Panda returns, I am half way on my way to becoming a human icicle."St-stupid Panda!" I say as my teeth chatter with the cold."Wait, don't close your eyes Tin!" He says in a panic as my eyelids close."C-cold." I say weakly as I feel him come closer."Let me clean your wound and take the bullet out first."I nod and he presses the soaked cloth against my arm. He gently cleans my wound and then stares at me."I need something to pull it out with." He says."I-I have a pocket knife in my back pocket." I say.Pan nods an
It's easier to navigate in the daylight. As we walk around the forest, trying to get our bearings, I make cross marks on trees which we have passed using my knife so we won't get lost in this wilderness.Where did we enter the forest from yesterday? There's no sign of anyone else around which means no one has discovered that we are here."This is where those guys attacked!" Pan exclaims as we find ourselves in the place where we stopped to rest after jumping out of the car."If I remember correctly, we entered from down there." I say, pointing to the right."I think so too. Let's go." Pan says as he walks ahead of me."Do you think your family would have informed the police about you
It takes three days until I am fully recovered. Panda must have ordered his servants to look after me well because they kept checking up on me every hour whilst I was stuck in bed.I still can't make heads or tails of Pan's real personality. Sometimes he seems cold and harsh whilst at times like these he is a soft, gentle and caring employer."Why are you here?" He asks as I wait for him outside the car. The police managed to track down and return our abandoned car after we had given our reports about the attack although I doubt it would have made any difference to Panda King since he would have a spare car ready from the hundreds he owns anyway."I'm doing my job." I say nonchalantly."Right." He mutters coldly.
TW: Attempted Assault________________________________Reluctantly, I drag my feet to the car."Hurry up Tin! We're going to be late." Panda shouts from beside the car. If I had been a normal personal assistant, I would have left work by now but instead because the contract states I should be on alert 24/7, Pan is using it as an excuse to drag me along to meet a client with him.Sighing heavily, I open the driver's door and get in. My eyes flicker to the time displayed on the dashboard. It's already 8pm."Stop looking at the time. You won't be able to escape." Panda says arrogantly.I glare at him through the rear v
"That's enough!"The creepy man is thrown off me and I lie there, frozen in shock. Is this really worth my wage?"Tin, are you okay?" Pan's voice asks in concern as he helps me up. He turns to the sleaze-bag on the floor and holds up the document he gave earlier before tearing it into shreds."Our deal is off. Don't bother coming to see me or my father ever again." Pan says harshly."W-Wait! Mr King!" The man says, clinging onto Pan's trouser leg."Get lost or I will call the police." Pan says threateningly."P-police? Mr King, listen to me–"Pan kicks him away before grabbin
Why am I feeling depressed? As the days slowly pass by, I don't feel like doing anything. I haven't even visited Hans yet. I sigh. I know my parents have noticed and even my oblivious brother has realised that something is bugging me.The thing which is making me have this strange feeling is that I am surprisingly missing the fun banter with Panda King. I shake my head as his face pops into my mind again.No, don't think about him Tina!It's been five days already since I left his mansion and my days are boring without him. I gasp and cover my face with my hands in embarrassment.Why do I sound like a love sick teen?I need to go out and get some fresh air so I my brain won't deteriorate and make me act and think silly things like this.Wearing a random
"Who was that?" As expected, my mother won't let this go easily."Um, a friend." I lie. I can't tell her the truth since I already told her I was working for Liana King, not Panda King."Since when have you been friends with the rich?" She says suspiciously.I smile and pat her arm, "Come on Mum. Do you think your own daughter is incapable of making friends with the rich? I worked for Liana King so of course I've met other rich heirs."She raises her eyebrows as I walk back up to get ready. I can't believe Panda King saw me looking like a homeless bum! Wait, why am I caring about how he sees me?! I shake my head. I can't worry about him.The first thing I should do, is think of where I can get the money from. I can't bother my parents. They'll be suspicious and probably won't have enough.Calling Hans, I wait for him to pick up."Hans, would you happ
Panda King. A name known by most people in the city. The heir to the famous King Company who own most of the malls, hotels and other hot spots under their umbrella.He is known as a well-versed and capable young businessman and is a top candidate as the dream boyfriend and husband of many young women. However, unbeknownst to outsiders, Panda King has one flaw.Panda King has a phobia of women. Even his own mother cannot touch him.Therefore, what is confusing him at this moment in time, is the fact that he is holding a drunk woman in his arms and even took her home to one of his private homes so she can sleep safely.Just as he is about to leave the room, she suddenly grabs his arm."Don't go." She says as she stares up at him with glazed brown eyes. Her face is flushed as she moves around on the bed. "It's so hot."Subconsciously, she begin
...And that's a wrap! Thank you to every person who clicked on this story and stuck with me through to the end. It's been a long journey and I honestly never thought I would get more than five readers when I first began writing His Bodyguard. I wasn't sure how or if I would be able to complete it but knowing that there are people out here who are giving me a chance and giving my story a chance, it really motivated me. There were times where I wondered whether I should stop, but your comments, votes and reads helped me buckle up and continue. Thank you for all the votes and comments. I really appreciate them. This story has now reached its ending but stay tuned for more of my stories in the near future. May you all find the happiness you deserve.
Heart racing and my hands shaking with nervousness, I stand up. The mirror is a long floor length and my white gown flows down my body like a waterfall. The lacy neck adds a touch of elegance to the dress and the trail is shorter than the regular wedding dress' since I want to make sure I don't accidentally trip whilst I walk. As Liana turns around and puts the makeup and hair styling tools back into her bag, I pace around, trying to calm my nerves. "Tina, are you still nervous? Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll look after baby Carl when you walk down the aisle." Liana says, patting my shoulder comfortingly. Panda and I finally decided on a name for our baby because the parents kept scolding us for calling our son "Cub". Thus, he is now named Carl Martin King. I smile at her, "Thank you. I don't even know why I am so nervous." I admit. I haven't been feeling well since last night. It must be what the
Sleeping in the same room as Panda King feels different. It's different from all the times in the past when I was "Tin" and it's different from the night at the island. My nerves are everywhere as he wraps his arm around me and hugs me to him as I lie on my side. Cub is sleeping in his Moses basket which my father already prepared for him. I am surprised how easily my dad accepted my baby and Panda. I thought he would continue with his cold, stern father charade for longer. "You're not asleep yet are you?" He asks quietly. I close my eyes and pretend to sleep. I feel him moving his body even closer, his warmth against my back. "I know you can't sleep." He whispers into my ear, causing my body to shiver. I try to stay still but he gently turns me over until we are facing each other. "Open your eyes or I will kiss you." He teases. Damn it! Not
Once the doctor has made sure that I am fine, Panda holds my hand and takes me to the Neonatal ward. The nurse gently picks up a sleeping Cub and hands him over to me. It feels both wonderful and fascinating as I feel my child in my arms."It's best to feed him your own breast milk for the first year, then he can be weaned onto baby food later." She explains as my eyes are still fixated on him.I nod absentmindedly, too busy gazing at this cute baby. "Yes.""Thank you for taking care of Cu-our son." Panda says with a smile. He wraps his arm softly around my waist and gently manoeuvres me out of the room."He is so cute." I say quietly, touching Cub's soft hair."Just like his dad." Panda grins.I chuckle, "No way, he obviously takes after his mum.""Of course. His mother is the most beautiful woman." Panda hugs me to him. "I'm glad
With my face damp, I wake up. Did I have a nightmare again? Why is my body hurting? Sitting up slowly, I glance around. I am not in my room. My hand has a familiar drip injected inside. Why am I in the hospital again? Touching my bump, I gasp. Why does it feel so light? Where is my baby?! Crying as thoughts cloud my mind, I hurriedly pull off the drip from my hand and climb out of the hospital bed, ignoring the pain in my stomach. The door suddenly opens as I run towards it and an exhausted looking Panda King stares at me with wide eyes. I run pass him, trying to leave the room so I can find a doctor and find out what is happening. I am so confused. "Tina! Tina, please calm down." Panda says as he holds me in his arms, preventing me from leaving. He worriedly holds my hand. "You're bleeding. Please listen to me Tina and sit down. Let me sort your hand out." My body feels cold as I stare
Seeing Panda King via video call does not satisfy my heart. I miss being with him but to carry out our plan and get the evidence from Ciarra Lake, I have to sacrifice my time with Panda.Of course Hans is still angry about me going to see Panda but he has started talking to me again. I returned home and lied to my dad about having some gastric issue. I still can't tell him I am pregnant.I don't meet Panda for a few weeks. It's a day where I am uselessly lounging around the house when Panda video calls me. Smiling happily, I accept the call and gaze at his handsome face.He looks extremely excited about something as he grins widely. "I've done it Tina!"Confused, I raise my eyebrows, "Done what?""I finally got hold of the evidence Ciarra had. I have gathered all the CCTV footage from the house too. The kitchen footage is pretty interesting." He says.I
"Pan, is Ciarra really your wife now?" His sister Liana King asks as she pushes her blonde hair back. Liana has been worried lately. Ever since the ruined wedding, Ciarra Lake insisted and demanded to move into Panda King's mansion and live as his wife.Panda shrugs at his sister, "In her dreams.""You don't care for her, not even a little?" Liana asks curiously as she drinks the milk."No. I only love..." Panda hesitates. Will Liana get upset if Panda tells her the truth about Tin being a woman? He knows his sister has a crush on "him"."Who?" Liana asks with wide eyes. "Come on Pan, tell me." She begs."Someone." Panda says mysteriously. He doesn't want to upset his younger sister. She will find out soon anyway."What are you guys talking about? Shall we eat together?" Ciarra's annoyingly cheery voice says as she walks into the kitchen.
The dreaded day finally arrives where I have to leave Panda King. I shouldn't be feeling this unhappy and upset given that this is all my plan and Panda is helping me by willingly sacrificing himself. All the way through the ferry ride back to the mainland, I had held hands with Panda and slept on his shoulder, afraid of when I will be able to be this close to him again."Don't cry Tina." Panda hugs me to him as my tears fall out of my eyes. "It won't take long. I'll come to get you soon."I wrap my arms around his back and cry into his chest. Why does this man have the power to weaken me so easily?"It feels like a dream." I mumble against him, "The island.""Don't worry about me," Panda pats my back in comfort, "I'll get the evidence and put her behind bars.""Come back to me quickly." I say through tears, "If you don't hurry back, I might decide to get married to Hans."
TW: Slightly 18+ Content _____________________________ After staying at the island with Panda King for a few days, I have discovered that he has learnt new skills and improved himself into a better man than which I had thought. "Open your mouth love." He says gently as he holds the spoon out towards my mouth. I stare at him incredulously, "I'm not ill Pan, I can eat by myself." He shakes his head, "I have to take extra care of you right now. What would I do if you got hurt? Just let me feed you." Staring at the bowl of soup in his hand, I warily ask, "Is it edible?" "Of course it is! You don't know how long I practiced cooking after you left. I can make a decent meal now." He puts the spoon of soup into my mouth as I obediently eat. "Of course not as good as you love." I blush as he feeds me. I am stil
