MY BODYGUARD, MY LOVER chapter thirty five
Emily sat there, cocooned in Tyler’s embrace, feeling the warmth of his body seep into her skin. His words echoed in her mind...“I’m not letting go.” It was a promise, one she desperately wanted to believe, but underneath her desire to trust, the shadow of doubt lingered.She rested her head on his chest, listening to the rhythmic thump of his heartbeat, the sound soothing yet bittersweet. There was so much she wanted to say, to confess, but every time she opened her mouth, the words got stuck in her throat. She knew that if she told him everything about Ava, the confrontation, the insinuations, it would change things between them. The last thing she wanted was to add more stress to their already complicated situation.But she couldn’t deny that her encounter with Ava had rattled her. What if Tyler’s family really preferred Ava? What if they eventually succeeded in pulling him away from her?She needed to shake the thoughts from her head before they consumed her.Tyler, sensing her un

Ava stood at the window of her penthouse, the city lights flickering in the distance, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. Seeing Tyler and Emily together, publicly flaunting their relationship, had lit a fire inside her, one that wouldn’t easily be extinguished. She had been patient for long enough, letting their relationship play out while biding her time. But now, patience wasn’t an option.She didn’t need dirt on Emily. What she needed was a more strategic approach one that would make Emily crumble on her own.Ava turned from the window, her gaze landing on the stack of event invitations on her coffee table. She picked one up, the elegant gold script reading: The Socialite Charity Gala. An idea sparked in her mind. Perfect. Tyler would be attending, of course his family was deeply involved in the charity and Emily would no doubt be at his side. It was a high-profile event, covered by the press and attended by the elite. What better place to remind everyone exactly who belonged by Tyl
MY BODYGUARD, MY LOVER chapter thirty seven
The night of the charity gala arrived in a flurry of dazzling lights and sparkling gowns. The event was held at the most prestigious ballroom in the city, an opulent venue with chandeliers dripping from the ceiling and walls adorned with rich gold accents. It was an evening designed to showcase wealth, power, and status, and Ava had every intention of using it to her full advantage.She stepped out of her car onto the red carpet, her gown a shimmering silver that caught every flash of the cameras. Her hair was swept into an elegant updo, and diamond earrings framed her face. As soon as she entered the venue, heads turned. This was exactly how she wanted it.Inside, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement, the air filled with the clink of champagne glasses and the murmur of elite conversations. Ava scanned the room, her eyes narrowing as she spotted Tyler standing near the bar, looking as polished as ever in his tailored tuxedo. He was laughing with someone, but his gaze was restless, da

Emily stepped outside onto the terrace, the cool night air wrapping around her like a comforting blanket. The sounds of laughter and music from the gala faded into a dull hum, and she leaned against the railing, taking a deep breath to clear her head. The stars twinkled above, but they felt far away, just like she did in that moment.She had tried to enjoy the night, but the sight of Tyler and Ava together had stung more than she wanted to admit. They seemed so at ease, so comfortable, while she felt like an outsider looking in. Just as she was about to lose herself in her thoughts, she heard footsteps approaching.Turning, she found herself face-to-face with a strikingly handsome man. He was tall and exuded an air of confidence that immediately caught her attention. His dark hair was perfectly tousled, and his sharp features were highlighted by the soft glow of the terrace lights.“Mind if I join you?” he asked, a charming smile spreading across his face.Emily hesitated for a moment
MY BODYGUARD, MY LOVER chapter thirty nine
Tyler stood near the bar, his drink in hand, scanning the crowd for Emily. He had been enjoying a moment with some old friends, but the sight of Ava next to him had become increasingly suffocating. Every laugh they shared felt forced, and his thoughts kept drifting back to Emily. He had noticed her slipping outside earlier, and an uneasy feeling crept into his gut.“Hey, are you even listening?” Ava’s voice cut through his thoughts, pulling him back to the present.“Sorry,” Tyler said, forcing a smile. “What were you saying?”Ava tilted her head, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. “I was talking about my latest project. You really should pay attention.”He nodded but didn’t fully engage. His mind kept wandering back to Emily. What was she doing out there? He excused himself, the polite façade slipping as he made his way toward the terrace, desperate to find her.As he stepped outside, the cool night air hit him, refreshing yet laced with the tension he felt. He glanced around,

The tension between Tyler and Emily lingered in the air as they stood outside, the sounds of the gala fading into the background. Tyler’s resolve solidified with each passing second. He couldn’t let Blake interfere in their relationship, not when he felt so strongly for Emily.“Let’s get out of here,” Tyler suggested, glancing back at the door. “We can talk somewhere more private.”Emily hesitated for a moment, searching his face for any sign of doubt. But when she nodded, a flicker of hope ignited in his chest. They walked side by side, their fingers brushing, a silent promise of what was to come.Once inside his car, Tyler glanced at Emily, who sat beside him, the night air filled with unspoken words. “Where to?” he asked, trying to keep his tone light.“Anywhere but here,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.He nodded, and with a firm press of the gas pedal, they sped away from the gala. The city lights blurred by, illuminating the tension and uncertainty that wrapped ar

Blake leaned back in his leather chair, his gaze steady on the city skyline stretching endlessly beyond his office windows. The lights twinkled in a faint fog that clung to the streets, casting the city in a muted glow. It was a view he had always loved, a testament to ambition, to power, to victory. Tonight, though, the satisfaction he felt had nothing to do with the towers of glass and steel he controlled and everything to do with the slow, delicate unraveling of his oldest rivalry.He poured himself a glass of scotch, swirling it thoughtfully as he considered his next move. Tyler had once been his closest friend, a brother in every sense but blood. They had known each other since childhood, weathered the competitive storm of adolescence together, and entered the corporate world as fierce allies. But somewhere along the way, the friendship had frayed, then snapped, leaving only shards of resentment and rivalry in its place. Tyler was the golden boy, always one step ahead, forever gr

Emily sat in her office, the city’s hum barely filtering through her closed windows. Her gaze drifted to the exquisitely wrapped package resting on her desk, an unexpected arrival earlier that morning. She had spent most of the day ignoring it, too preoccupied with other things and, if she was honest with herself, slightly unnerved by its mysterious appearance. But as evening settled, the curiosity became too much to bear.She traced her fingers along the smooth paper, the faintest smile forming as she admired the delicate gold ribbon tied around it. It was beautiful, almost too beautiful, and she felt a small thrill of anticipation as she pulled the ribbon loose and peeled back the paper. Her breath caught as the cover of a rare, leather-bound book gleamed in the dim light. The title was one of her favorites, a novel she had reread countless times during some of the loneliest nights of her life.Yet, it wasn’t just the book that stole her breath, it was the sight of her initials, ele

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
