MY BODYGUARD, MY LOVER 61
Blake stayed motionless by the window, his eyes fixed on the sprawling city lights below. The calm silence of his office belied the thrill pulsing through him. He hadn’t felt this alive in years—not since he and Tyler had been on the same side, each competing, driving one another forward. But those days were long gone. Their friendship had dissolved into bitter rivalry, and for Blake, it was no longer about mere competition. This was about finally pulling ahead, decisively and irreversibly.Emily was the key to everything.The idea of using her had crossed his mind before, but it hadn’t gripped him this strongly until now. There was something about her that felt untouchable, yet so very close. She was different from the others, not easily won over by wealth or power. He had watched her navigate the spotlight and the corporate world with a quiet strength that intrigued him. She had a self-assuredness that Tyler adored, and that was exactly where he intended to strike.Blake returned to

The morning sun filtered through the blinds as Emily sat at the edge of her bed, clutching her phone. Blake's gifts and mysterious gestures had been on her mind all night, stirring a mix of confusion and intrigue. She had tried to shake it off, chalking it up to some anonymous admirer with a flair for mystery, yet something about this felt different. She wasn't the kind of woman easily swayed by charm or grand gestures, but there was an undeniable pull here—a thread she couldn't ignore.Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She picked it up to see Tyler’s name flashing on the screen. A smile tugged at her lips as she answered.“Good morning, beautiful,” Tyler’s voice was warm, comforting, familiar.“Good morning to you,” she replied, her tone softening.“I was just calling to see if you’d want to grab breakfast together before the day gets crazy,” Tyler suggested, his enthusiasm evident.Emily hesitated. As much as she wanted to say yes, her mind was a tangle of questio

Later that evening, Emily sat alone in her dimly lit apartment, her fingers tracing the edge of a coffee mug long since gone cold. She had tried to distract herself with her usual routine—organizing her bookshelves, catching up on some reading, even watering her plants. But the feeling she’d been carrying since that afternoon wouldn’t leave her. The gifts, the notes, the vague yet unsettling message… I’m closer than you think. Those words had lodged themselves in her mind, unyielding, like a shadow following her everywhere she went.The apartment, usually a place of comfort and familiarity, now seemed strange, every corner hiding something unknown. The quiet was heavy, almost stifling, amplifying even the smallest sound. A faint creak in the wall made her jump, her hand reflexively clutching the edge of the table. She drew a deep breath, willing herself to stay calm.Her phone sat on the coffee table, displaying a missed call from her mom. Usually, she could predict the nature of thos

Ava leaned back in her seat, satisfaction glowing in her eyes as she watched the live feed streaming onto her phone, she planted a camera on a bouquet of flowers and sent someone to drop it off at her house. Emily was in her dressing room, staring down at the bouquet Ava had so meticulously chosen, each flower a symbol of her "support"—if only Emily knew the truth. As Emily reached for the card, Ava's smile widened."Go ahead," she murmured. "Take the bait."Emily read the note, a flicker of confusion in her expression. She lifted the bouquet, examining it, maybe thinking it was from Tyler or a fan. Ava scoffed at the thought. She had purposefully left it unsigned, hoping the mystery would linger in Emily’s mind, unsettling her.Ava's gaze drifted over the dressing room itself, analyzing every inch of the room in the background of the feed, committing every detail to memory. She could practically feel herself there, picking apart Emily’s personal space. This would be only the beginnin

Ava stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the city skyline as the sun began to set. The vibrant hues of orange and pink painted the sky, and for a moment, she allowed herself to bask in the beauty of it all. But that peace was fleeting; her mind was consumed with thoughts of her next move. She needed to act quickly, capitalizing on the uncertainty she had sown in Emily's mind.With her heart racing from excitement, Ava grabbed her phone and typed a quick message to her assistant, requesting a meeting. She needed to brainstorm a plan that would ensure Emily remained on the back foot, but first, she wanted to check in on how the flowers were affecting Emily. It was essential to stay one step ahead.As she waited, Ava’s mind wandered to her relationship with Tyler. She remembered how they had met at a charity gala, both dressed to the nines. He had smiled at her, the kind of smile that made her feel like the only person in the room. They had talked for hours, and Ava had felt

Emily awoke the next morning, the sunlight streaming through her bedroom window. The events of the previous night, the kiss with Tyler, the spark between them played on repeat in her mind, filling her with warmth and excitement. Yet, as she sat up and stretched, the lingering shadows of Ava’s confrontation loomed over her, a reminder that not everything was perfect.With a determined sigh, Emily swung her legs over the side of the bed and prepared for the day ahead. Today would be different; she wouldn’t let Ava's presence taint her joy. After getting dressed in a cozy sweater and jeans, she grabbed her phone and texted Tyler."Good morning! Can we meet up later? I want to talk about our weekend plans."Within moments, her phone buzzed."Morning! Definitely. How about that café we love?""Perfect! See you there."As she made her way to the café, Emily’s heart raced with anticipation. She was eager to plan their getaway and escape the noise of the outside world, especially the drama th

Emily stepped out of the shower, the steam lingering in the air of her small bathroom. She wrapped herself in a fluffy towel, her heart still fluttering from the memories of the getaway with Tyler. The weekend had been everything she had hoped for—romantic, fun, and filled with moments that had deepened their connection. But as she brushed her hair and prepared for the day, her thoughts drifted to Blake.Since their encounter, she hadn’t been able to shake the feeling that something unresolved lingered between them. Blake had always been charismatic, and their conversations had flowed with an undeniable chemistry. She had tried to push those thoughts aside, focusing on her relationship with Tyler.But as she got dressed, the doorbell rang, jolting her back to reality. She glanced at the clock and realized it was probably Blake. He had texted earlier, saying he wanted to stop by to catch up. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door, revealing Blake standing there with a charming smile

Emily sat on the edge of her bed, the weight of the past few weeks pressing down on her shoulders. After Celine's death, the dynamics within her family had shifted. She had always been distant from her mother, Mrs. Hudson, whose harsh words and criticism had left deep scars. But now, Emily found herself longing for connection, for the chance to mend the rift that had widened between them.Taking a deep breath, she reached for her phone and dialed her mother’s number. The phone rang twice before her mother picked up.“Emily,” Mrs. Hudson answered, her tone guarded yet curious.“Mom, can we talk? I really want to see you,” Emily said, her voice steady but filled with a hint of vulnerability.“I suppose so,” her mother replied reluctantly. “Where do you want to meet?”“Let’s just have dinner at home. I’ll cook,” Emily suggested, a nervous flutter in her stomach.There was a brief pause, then Mrs. Hudson replied, “Alright, I’ll be there.”Emily hung up, feeling a mix of anxiety and hope.

As days turned into weeks after Celine’s funeral, Emily found herself struggling to navigate her grief while trying to reconnect with Tyler. Their relationship, once vibrant and full of promise, now felt strained and distant, like a threadbare tapestry fraying at the edges. Emily knew that Tyler was hurting, and she wanted to be there for him, but every time she tried to bridge the gap, she was met with an unyielding wall of silence.One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of pink and gold, Emily decided to reach out. She texted Tyler, her fingers hovering over the keyboard for a moment before she hit send: "Can we talk? I miss you."Moments later, her phone buzzed. "Meet me at our spot?"Her heart lifted at the invitation. Their spot—an intimate little café tucked away on a quiet street—had been their go-to place for late-night conversations, laughter, and stolen kisses. She quickly got ready, feeling a flutter of anticipation and anxiety in her s

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over the cemetery as mourners gathered around Celine’s grave. The atmosphere was heavy with sorrow, a palpable grief that wrapped around each person like a shroud. Emily stood near the front, her heart aching as she watched the small casket being lowered into the earth, a bittersweet finality settling over her.She remembered Celine’s laughter, the way her eyes sparkled with mischief, and the countless moments they had shared together. Now, it felt like a piece of her own heart had been buried along with Celine. Tears streamed down Emily’s cheeks, the loss cutting deeper than she could have ever anticipated. She clenched her fists at her sides, fighting the urge to scream at the unfairness of it all.“Why did it have to be you?” she whispered to herself, the question echoing in her mind like a haunting refrain.As the ceremony progressed, Emily felt a soft touch on her shoulder. Turning, she saw Tyler standing beside her, his eyes

Celine stared at herself in the mirror, the reflection staring back at her revealing a ghost of the woman she once was. The dark circles under her eyes were deep, and her complexion was pallid, a stark reminder of her declining health. But today, she wanted to feel alive, to cherish one last evening with the people she loved most. She wanted to create memories that would linger, bittersweet yet precious, in the hearts of her family.As she moved about her bedroom, she carefully chose an outfit: a flowing emerald dress that accentuated her figure and a delicate necklace that sparkled under the light. It was her mother’s, a piece she’d treasured for years, and wearing it made her feel connected to the woman who had once been a formidable force in her life. Celine hoped that tonight would not only be a farewell but a reconciliation, a moment to mend the rifts that had formed over the years.Once dressed, she walked downstairs, the familiar scent of her mother’s cooking wafting through th

The following weekend, Tyler and Emily planned a casual day together at the park. They decided to keep it simple—just a picnic, some time in the sun, and a chance to unwind after the pressure of family introductions. As Emily prepared a basket filled with sandwiches, fresh fruit, and cookies, she felt a flutter of excitement. It was a welcome break from the intensity of last week’s dinner.When she arrived at the park, Tyler was already waiting at their usual spot under a large oak tree, a checkered blanket spread out on the grass. His face lit up when he saw her, and he jumped up, jogging over to help her with the basket.“Hey, beautiful! Ready for a perfect day?” he asked, his smile infectious.“Definitely! I brought your favorite cookies,” she replied, handing him the basket.“Now you’re just trying to win me over,” he teased, ruffling her hair playfully.Emily laughed, swatting his hand away as they settled down on the blanket. The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze rustled t

The day had finally arrived. Tyler had been preparing Emily for this moment for weeks, and now she stood in front of her mirror, adjusting her hair nervously. She wanted to make a good impression on his family, especially considering the mixed feelings he had shared about them. The thought of meeting them filled her with both excitement and trepidation.“Okay, you’ve got this,” she whispered to herself, taking a deep breath. She put on a floral dress that hugged her figure nicely, hoping to strike a balance between casual and polished. As she slipped on her shoes, her phone buzzed on the bed. It was a message from Tyler.Tyler: Hey! Just left my place. Can’t wait to see you! Remember, be yourself!Emily smiled at his words, but the nerves fluttered in her stomach. After a few moments, she grabbed her purse and headed out the door.When she arrived at Tyler's house, she was greeted by the warm aroma of baked goods wafting from the kitchen. As she approached the door, Tyler opened it wi

The following morning, the sunlight filtered through the curtains of Emily's room, casting soft rays across her bed. Emily stirred awake, her mind still clouded with the events of the previous day. The memory of Ava’s betrayal hung heavily in the air, but beneath that was another, more comforting thought: Tyler. He had stood by her when everything felt like it was crumbling, and she was grateful for his unwavering support.As she got out of bed, her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She picked it up and saw a message from Tyler.Tyler: Good morning, beautiful! How are you feeling today?Emily smiled, her heart fluttering at the thought of him. She quickly typed back.Emily: Morning! Feeling a bit better. Just trying to process everything.After a moment, her phone rang. It was Tyler.“Hey,” she answered, her voice soft.“Hey, you,” he said, his tone brightening her mood. “I was thinking we could go for a walk later, maybe grab some coffee.
