MY BODYGUARD, MY LOVER CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
Celine paced across her apartment, the rhythmic click of her heels punctuating the silence. The city lights outside her window flickered like distant stars, but she barely noticed them. Her mind was too preoccupied with the game she was playing, and every step she took brought her closer to checkmate. The email from the investigator had been a gold mine, and the response from her media contact confirmed it, Emily’s downfall was just a heartbeat away.She glanced at her phone again, rereading the text.“Very interested. What’s the scoop?”Celine tapped her finger against her chin, considering. Timing was crucial. If she fed the media everything at once, the fire would burn too fast and too bright, and she couldn’t afford for this to fizzle out prematurely. No, she needed to be strategic. She needed to build the pressure, slowly, until Emily was suffocating under it.Her eyes drifted to the photos the investigator had sent, images of Emily from a party years ago, a little too close to

The next morning, Celine woke up with a sense of triumph that made her feel invincible. As sunlight poured into her room, she sat up in bed, checking her phone with eager anticipation. It was time. The article should be live.Opening her email, her media contact had already sent her a link.“Emily Hudson: Hollywood’s Golden Girl or Hollywood’s Best Kept Secret?”The headline alone made Celine’s heart race. She quickly clicked through, reading the opening paragraphs with a sense of satisfaction blooming in her chest.“Emily Hudson has captured the hearts of millions, but new whispers suggest her meteoric rise to fame wasn’t as pure as we’ve been led to believe. Sources close to the actress reveal a potentially scandalous connection with a powerful producer during the early years of her career, leaving some to wonder, was Emily’s success built on talent, or was there something more at play?”There were the pictures carefully chosen to look suggestive without saying too much. Emily with

Tyler sat in his office, scrolling through emails when his phone buzzed with a flood of notifications. His eyes flicked down to the screen, expecting the usual business updates, but instead, he saw Emily’s name trending on every platform. Confused, he tapped on the top link.The headline hit him like a punch to the gut.“Emily Hudson: Hollywood’s Golden Girl or Hollywood’s Best Kept Secret?”His heart sank as he read through the article. The words swirled on the screen, talking about Emily’s past, her alleged connection with a powerful producer, and the insinuations that her success was built on more than just talent. The pictures were damning close enough to suggest intimacy but far enough that they left room for doubt. It was a hit piece, meant to destroy her reputation.Tyler felt his chest tighten as the implications sank in. His first instinct was to deny it, to reject everything the article was trying to insinuate. He knew Emily. He knew how hard she had worked to get where she

Tyler remained seated in his office, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. The silence that followed the call with Emily echoed loudly in his ears. He had never doubted her before, but now, the weight of public scrutiny, combined with his family’s relentless interference, made him question everything. He couldn't shake the nagging thought, what if she was hiding more from him? What if their love wasn’t enough to conquer this?He stood up abruptly, walking toward the window that overlooked the city. The view, usually calming, now did nothing to ease his tension. His phone buzzed again another message, more notifications about the scandal. He ignored it, trying to think of what to do next.His heart wanted to believe Emily. She had been nothing but good to him, strong and supportive through all the chaos with his parents and Ava. But the timing of this scandal, right when things between them had started to stabilize, felt too coincidental. It was as if the universe or someone w

The next morning, Emily stood in front of the mirror, staring at her herself. She hadn’t slept much the night before, her mind had been consumed by thoughts of the scandal, her relationship with Tyler, and the media storm she was about to face. But today, she knew she couldn’t hide away. Today, she had to fight.Her phone was buzzing with messages and missed calls. Her publicist, agents, and PR team had all been blowing up her phone since the article dropped. She knew she couldn’t avoid them anymore. She had to confront this head-on, for her career and for her sanity.Emily took a deep breath and dialed her publicist, Joanna, who picked up almost immediately.“Emily, thank God,” Joanna’s voice was frantic. “We need to get ahead of this. This story is everywhere. People are questioning your entire career, your integrity, everything. I’ve already spoken to a few outlets, but we need a solid plan.”Emily bit her lip, feeling a surge of anxiety, but also determination. “I know. I’m ready.

That evening, after the whirlwind of media drama and relentless calls, Tyler finally arrived at Emily’s house. His heart pounded as he stepped up to her door. He knew she had been through hell today, and all he wanted was to wrap her in his arms, to make her feel safe and loved. No more doubts, no more distance just them.Emily opened the door, her eyes wide with surprise. She hadn’t expected him, not after the tension of the past few days. But there he was, standing on her doorstep with an intense look in his eyes that made her heart skip a beat.“Tyler,” she breathed, her voice soft. “I wasn’t expecting you.”Without saying a word, Tyler stepped inside and pulled her into his arms. The tension between them melted the moment their bodies touched. Emily buried her face in his chest, inhaling the familiar scent of him, and all the fear and anxiety she had been holding onto began to fade. His embrace was strong, reassuring, like nothing could hurt her as long as she was with him.“I had

It had been a long day filled with meetings, interviews, and the constant pressure of keeping her public image intact. Emily ran a brush through her hair, hoping the repetitive action would calm her racing thoughts. The scandal involving the producer still hung in the air like a cloud she couldn’t shake, though things between her and Tyler had begun to smooth over. Her phone buzzed on the nightstand, pulling her out of her thoughts. Glancing at the screen, her brows furrowed at an unfamiliar number. She hesitated before unlocking it, then read the message:“I saw you in that red dress tonight. You were breathtaking. I hope this brightens your day.”A shiver crept up her spine. That dress. She had worn it during a charity gala earlier in the evening. The event had been small and private, filled with high-profile guests. Who could have noticed her so specifically? Before she could dwell on it, there was a knock at the door.Confused, Emily stood and padded over to the entrance of her

Over the next few days, the mysterious gifts kept arriving. Each one was more elaborate than the last, another bouquet of white lilies, a box of chocolates, and a sleek designer scarf in her favorite shade of burgundy. The notes continued as well, each more intimate than the previous:“I know you love chocolate-covered almonds, just like you love quiet evenings alone.”Emily’s discomfort grew with each passing day. The sense of being watched, of someone knowing the smallest details about her life, began to weigh heavily on her. At work, she found herself glancing over her shoulder more often, and at home, she double-checked the locks before going to bed.The final straw came on a Friday evening, when another delivery arrived at her apartment. This time, it was a small painting, an oil portrait of a woman, strikingly similar to Emily, standing in a field of lilies. The detail was remarkable, from the curve of the woman’s neck to the subtle shadowing around her eyes. And in the corner,

The night after the wedding was quiet and still, as if the world was holding its breath, watching the newlyweds as they began their journey together. Emily and Tyler returned to their private suite, hand in hand, wrapped in the soft afterglow of their wedding celebration. The air between them was filled with an intimate anticipation, their love radiating in every glance and touch.The room had been decorated with rose petals scattered across the bed and the scent of lavender drifting through the air, calming and inviting. A gentle light filled the room, illuminating the space just enough to cast a warm glow around them.As they entered, Tyler let out a soft laugh, turning to look at Emily. "I still can’t believe you’re mine," he murmured, reaching up to tuck a stray hair behind her ear.Emily smiled, her eyes shining as she looked at him. "And I can’t believe I get to love you every day."Tyler reached for her hand, drawing her close until there was no space between them. His gaze was

The sun shone brightly on the day of Emily and Tyler’s wedding, casting a warm glow over the carefully decorated garden. Flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, and the sweet scent of jasmine filled the air. Guests began to gather, a mix of family and friends, each one eager to witness the union of two people who had overcome so much to be together.Emily stood in her bridal suite, surrounded by her closest friends. The dress clung to her in all the right places, and the delicate lace veil framed her face perfectly. She could feel the excitement bubbling within her, a blend of nerves and sheer joy. Glancing in the mirror, she took a deep breath, allowing herself to soak in the moment.“Are you ready to become Mrs. Tyler Hudson?” Gracie, her maid of honor, asked with a grin.Emily nodded, her heart racing. “More than ready.”After the final touches were made, Emily made her way to the entrance of the garden, her heart pounding with anticipation. She could hear the gentle murmur of guests an

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. I want to make sure you’re okay.”“That sounds
