MY BODYGUARD, MY LOVER Chapter fourteen
The sound of the door closing behind Emily echoed in Tyler’s mind long after she was gone. He stood there, frozen, replaying her words in his head. She needed time. Time to figure out if she could trust him again.But how long would that take? And what if she decided she couldn’t? What if, after everything, she chose to walk away for good?Tyler clenched his jaw and turned toward the window, staring blankly at the city lights twinkling in the distance. He had never felt so powerless in his life. He had built an empire, secured billion-dollar deals with ease, yet here he was, unable to hold on to the one person who mattered more than anything.After what felt like hours, he finally moved, pulling out his phone. He couldn’t wait anymore. He had to take action, starting with the one thing that had been weighing on his mind since Ava showed up uninvited. His parents.Without hesitating, he dialed his father’s number, his heart pounding as it rang.“Tyler?” his father’s voice came through,

Emily sat at her desk, staring blankly at the documents spread out in front of her. The soft hum of the city outside her office window did little to distract her from the thoughts swirling in her mind. She had been at work for hours, yet barely any progress had been made. Her thoughts weren’t on the upcoming project or the press releases that needed reviewing—they were on Tyler.The decision to give him a second chance had felt right in the moment. His words had been filled with so much conviction, so much promise. But now, as she sat alone in the quiet of her office, the doubts crept in again.Had she made the right choice?Her heart still carried the scars of her past, the betrayal she had suffered. And while Tyler had made it clear he wanted to be with her, Emily couldn’t help but wonder if she was setting herself up for more heartache.She sighed and leaned back in her chair, rubbing her hands in frustration. Just as she was about to get lost in her thoughts again, a light knock s

Ava stood in front of her full-length mirror, adjusting the diamond earrings that dangled elegantly from her ears. Her reflection stared back at her, the image of perfection, sharp cheekbones, flawless skin, and eyes that could cut through anyone who dared cross her. She had been groomed her entire life for moments like this, moments where power and control were her birthright.Yet, as she looked at herself, her jaw clenched with frustration. How had everything gone so wrong?Tyler should have been hers. She had known it since they were in school together, when their families had first started talking about the possibility of a union. Even back then, she could tell he was special, not like the other boys vying for her attention. Tyler was ambitious, intelligent, destined for greatness. He had always been polite, distant, but Ava knew it was only a matter of time before he realized what a perfect match they would be.And now, after all these years of turning down suitors, rejecting mar

The private jet hummed softly as it glided through the clouds, its sleek interior a perfect reflection of the luxury that surrounded them. Tyler leaned back in his seat, watching Emily out of the corner of his eye as she gazed out of the window. Her expression was one of quiet awe, the world beneath them stretching out like an endless canvas of blue sea and golden islands.He had planned this trip for weeks, knowing he needed to make things right. After everything they’d been through, the misunderstandings, the tension with his family, the shadow of Ava looming over them, he wanted to show her that she was the only one who mattered. And what better way to do that than with an unforgettable escape?Emily finally tore her gaze from the window, turning toward him with a soft smile. “I still can’t believe you did all this.”Tyler’s lips curved into a grin, his heart lifting at the sight of her relaxed for the first time in days. “You deserve it, Emily. After everything… I just want to mak

As the kiss ended, Tyler rested his forehead against Emily’s, their breaths mingling in the quiet of the evening. The air was warm and filled with the faint scent of saltwater and flowers from the nearby gardens. Neither of them spoke for a moment, the unspoken words that seemed to float between them like the gentle breeze.Tyler took her hand, leading her toward the edge of the infinity pool that shimmered under the moonlight. The glassy surface reflected the stars above, creating an ethereal atmosphere that made everything feel dreamlike. Emily followed, her fingers laced with his, and for the first time in a long while, she felt completely at ease.They sat down together on the edge, their feet dipping into the warm water. Tyler wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer, and she leaned her head against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.“I could get used to this,” Emily murmured, her voice soft and content.Tyler smiled, pressing a kiss to the top o

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains of their luxurious villa, casting a warm glow across the room. Emily stirred in the bed, her body wrapped in soft, linen sheets, as the sound of the ocean waves gently pulled her from sleep. She blinked her eyes open, only to find herself alone in bed. A moment of confusion washed over her before she heard soft footsteps approaching.Tyler appeared in the doorway, carrying a tray laden with fresh fruit, pastries, and two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice. His eyes lit up when he saw her awake, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Good morning, Sunshine."Emily smiled back, sitting up and smoothing her hair. “Breakfast in bed? You’re spoiling me.”He set the tray down on the bed, settling beside her. “You deserve to be spoiled. Especially today.”Her brow arched, curiosity piqued. “What’s today?”Tyler grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “You’ll see.”She laughed softly, reaching for a piece of fruit from the

The restaurant was one of the most exclusive in the city, its dim lighting and intimate atmosphere carefully curated to give the illusion of privacy. Tyler sat at a table near the back, tapping his fingers lightly on the edge of his wine glass as he waited. He still wasn’t sure why he had agreed to meet Ava. After days of relentless texts and calls, she had finally convinced him to have dinner just as friends," she had said, but Tyler knew there was more to it. He had no interest in rekindling anything with her, yet here he was.Ava arrived fashionably late, as always. Dressed in a sleek black dress that hugged her curves, her smile was all charm as she made her way toward him. "Tyler," she greeted, her voice low and sultry. "I’m so glad you could make it."Tyler stood up as she approached, offering a stiff smile before sitting back down. "Ava," he said, keeping his tone polite but distant. "I figured one dinner wouldn’t hurt."Ava laughed lightly, taking her seat across from him. "I

Tyler hung up the phone with his lawyer, his heart racing. His mind was in overdrive, already anticipating the fallout. He grabbed his jacket and keys, not even bothering to check his appearance before rushing out the door of his penthouse. Emily had to hear the truth from him before she saw anything in the media.As he drove through the city, the weight of the situation pressed down on him. Emily had already been through so much, her heartbreak, the betrayal of her sister and her ex-fiancé. The last thing she needed was to see something like this, something so damaging and misleading. Tyler cursed under his breath, gripping the steering wheel tightly.By the time he reached Emily’s house, the sun was barely up. He parked in the driveway and jogged up to the front door, his heart thudding in his chest. He knocked, hoping she was home and not out at an early shoot. After a few tense moments, the door opened, and there she stood, her face slightly flushed, still in her pajamas, with her

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
