Today, I decided to give her another chance at accepting my proposal to marry her. It had been eating at me for days, and I needed an answer to make a decision.I got ready in the morning putting on a crisp white shirt and my best suit. I looked at myself in the mirror, fixing my tie and running a hand through my hair. I wanted to look my best, to make the best impression.I got into my car and drove to her house nervous throughout the drive. My mind was racing with thoughts of what she might say, how she might react. I needed this to go well.When I arrived at Adeline’s mansion, I took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.

XANDER’S POVI walked out of the bar, my heart pounding in my chest. The night was dark, and the streets were almost empty. I pulled out my phone and dialed Drew's number. Drew was the owner of the security agency I used whenever I needed security. He picked up immediately."Drew, it's Xander," I said, my voice urgent."Xander, what's up?" Drew replied, sounding alert."I need ten of your best men around Adeline's house 24 hours a day, every day, without a break. She's in danger and needs protection. No one should know they're guarding her house," I explained quickly."Got it, Xander. Noted. I'll get on it right away," he assured me."Thanks, Drew," I said, ending the call.

XANDER’S POVThe next morning, I got up early and drove straight to the police station. I walked in and approached the front desk, where a tired-looking officer was sitting."I need to speak to someone in charge, it's urgent," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.The officer looked up at me, slightly annoyed. "What's this about?" he asked."It's about a major drug deal going down tonight. I have information, but it needs to be kept confidential. I can't risk this getting out," I explained.He looked at me skeptically but then nodded. "Wait here," he said, and picked up the phone to make a call. A few minutes later, a stern-looking detective walked over."I'm Detective Harris. What do you have for me?" he asked, his eyes piercing as he studied me.I took a deep breath and explained everything I had overheard at the warehouse. I told him about the time and place of the drug delivery, and how Matt was planning to oversee the transaction himself."This is serious information," Harris

ADELINE’S POVI had been calling Xander's number, but it kept going to voicemail.I needed to see him and understand what was happening. Why was not he picking up? I kept asking myself and I felt desperate to hear from him. I left my room and walked to the sitting room. Drew, the head security guy, was standing there. He was a tall man with a stern face, always looking serious about his job."Drew," I called out, my voice shaky. "Have you seen Xander? Do you know where he is?"He looked at me with calm eyes. "Xander will be here soon, Miss Adeline. He asked me to stay here and make sure you're safe."I nodded, feeling a bit more at ease but still anxious. "Okay, thank you."I sat down on the couch, my mind racing. I couldn't believe that Xander had actually helped save me and sent security to guard me without even telling me. It was both comforting and confusing. I wanted to know why he did it, what made him take such measures to ensure my safety and how he knew I would be attacked.
