Bella slept on Jasper's bed with him. She kept looking at his face till she fell asleep. The storm made things easier for her. Jasper hugged her due to her fear, she felt very happy about it. They didn't talk much after dinner as Jasper was very tired. Bella's main goal was to spend the night beside him even if they do nothing together. And Jasper being a gentleman did nothing to her, or perhaps he doesn't find her attractive?Morning came and Jasper woke up when his alarm rang. He stretched his hands opening his eyes only to find Bella gone. He thought that perhaps she was in the bathroom but she wasn't. He decided to take his bath and go out. He met his mother and sister getting ready for breakfast as usual. There was no sign of Bella. He went back to his room to properly dress up, he found a note under his pillow finally. ~If you found this, I already went home. I didn't want to wake you up. Thanks for the hospitality, I'll see you later. Bella~He smiled in satisfaction, at lea
"He is my new bodyguard and not whatever you are thinking he is. That can never happen and you know that." Raina told them. "I don't mind that happening. That man is to die for." Freida emphasized. "I will force a full chicken into your mouth if you don't stop talking Freida!" Madam Diane threatened making her shut up immediately. "Why didn't you tell us about your new driver or whatever he is. You could have told your dad you needed one and he'll get you one." "There is no need to tell you anything since I already hired him. Besides he's saved my life twice between two days." "Yeah, but you are never considerate and you disregard people's feelings. How come you gave him a job just because of that?" Sam asked. Raina had gotten enough breakfast. She got up and headed outside ignoring her brother's question. She used that as an opportunity to escape their numerous questions. She met Jasper already waiting for her in front of the car. She felt moved instantly, but she did well in
Jasper's expression changed when he heard about his private life. "Let's go." He said to Kelvin. Kelvin took Jasper to his own personal office and began. "What are your motives in working for President Raina. I know all about you and what you can do. Someone like you shouldn't be working with people like the president." Jasper folded his arms, "Can you be specific? What did you find out about me?"Kelvin laughed in mockery, "Is there more shady things for me to find out about you than what I already did? Are you saying I haven't seen anything at all?""You're still not answering my question."Kelvin stopped laughing and gave him a cold stare. "That you Jasper Smith has a very powerful criminal record in the past. That's why you hardly get a good job or last long in your other jobs.""So? Is that all or is there more?" Jasper asked again. Kelvin's anger rose up. Raina was right when she said Jasper is rude and arrogant. How can he not care about what he just said. He's acting lik
Jasper thought talking to them will make him uncomfortable, but it turned out they are fun to be with. They chatted with him and laughed happily, totally forgetting where they were going to. Raina on the other hand was done with the meeting. She was able to seal the deal with her German investors. She came out only to find Jasper in the midst of ladies flirting with them. That made her indirectly angry. She sneered and walked close to them. "Why don't you girls look for somewhere else to play? He has to come with me now." She said coldly. One of the girls recognized her and whispered to her friends. They all turned to look at her and Jasper, then they all left after shaking hands with him. "You are one shameless idiot Jasper Smith." She fumed and walked out. Jasper simply followed her to the car. He doesn't understand why she is so angry because she talked to those girls. She even called him a shameless idiot. What could that be?"I told you to wait quietly for me. And all you c
Meanwhile...Back at the office, Carly was still giving Raina death glares. "I only left for a few days and you started misbehaving. Are you saying you can't behave yourself if I'm not around?""I don't know what you're talking about Carly." Raina replied working on some papers. "Hmph! That aside. What just happened in here? Isn't that the other guy from before? How come he now works for you? Did you go behind my back to bully him?" Carly asked. Bully him? Raina scoffed inwardly, he doesn't even want to respect her and Carly thinks he can be bullied? "He works as my personal bodyguard and driver. I have no idea what you're talking about in terms of bullying. I'm not a bully." She replied. "Says the woman who almost slapped his worker if I hadn't intervened. How did you guys meet again?"Raina knowing Carly too well explained everything, she won't stop until she gets what she wants. "Wow. I can't believe you did all that and didn't tell me anything. Tell me the truth, you asked h
She hung up again not giving him a chance to say anything. He looked at Bella apologetically, she already understood. "She's calling you back right?"He nodded, "I have to go now. Let's do this some other time.""Yeah."Was all she said. "I'll call you." He said and left. She didn't reply him as she was still mad at him and herself for letting him go search for a job on the day he met Raina Williams. Perhaps they never would have met and he wouldn't be so distant from her. She thought of what to do, then she decided to get him out of Raina's company no mater what it costs. She will do anything to have Jasper by her side. ~Williams Corporation~Jasper got back to the office. He went straight to see Raina, who was busy with work. "You called me Miss Williams. Here I am." He announced. "I have a few clients coming from Spain. They're at the airport, I need you to pick them up and drop them at the hotel." She said. That wasn't originally her plan, but when she thought about it she d
Raina can't have enough of her troublesome friend. Asking her bodyguard to have dinner with them without her permission. And she's still proud of what she is doing. "I don't think it's appropriate for me to do that. I'll just wait outside for her."Jasper refused. "At least you're thinking like a sensible person now." Raina said. "No. You're not going anywhere. You should stay here and have dinner with us. Don't argue with me!" Carly yelled. Jasper gave up after trying to convince her to no avail. He didn't miss Raina's glares. He smiled innocently, it's not his fault that her friend wants him to stay with them for dinner. They placed an order which was brought to them in no time. "So tell me about yourself Jasper." Carly asked. "Can we eat in peace and maintain table manners?" Raina suggested bitterly. Carly hissed, "I did not ask you anything. I was talking to this handsome man here. Tell me about yourself darling.""What would you like to know about me Miss?" Jasper asked Ca
Raina also walked back to the car and waited for Jasper to enter. "You should stop flirting with women especially my friend so openly." She told him. Jasper raised a brow amused, "You mean I don't have the freedom of speech anymore?""You also should not but into other people's business without telling me anything." "What's this? A jail of some sort? I don't have the freedom to speak or help people whenever I can?"She rolled her eyes, "I don't care what you call it. It is an order as your boss.""Then you would have preferred if they young girl died right? I would not be able to live in peace knowing she died and I could have saved her. But I know you still won't relate, that's how heartless you are." He said making Raina flare up. Nothing hurts her more than when she is called heartless. Yes, she is cold and rude. But that doesn't make her heartless, she has gone way through too many things in her life to not be the way she is. "Yes I am heartless! Say whatever you want I don't
Raina got up feeling much better. She didn't see Carly in the house, she knows Carly might be outside. She sat up on the couch, she didn't really feel weak or dizzy like before. Carly suddenly came inside, she smiled on seeing Raina awake. "Thank God you've decided to come back to life. I was scared for a moment thinking something really bad has happened to you." Carly lamented sitting beside her and hugging her tight. "Carly you're going to really choke me to death if you don't stop now." Raina said. Carly released her with a slight frown, "You're still as grumpy as you are. Now I feel like I made a bad decision when I asked Jasper to save you."Raina's body went numb at the mention of Jasper. She felt her cheeks burn in embarrassment. The thought of having Jasper save her life made her unable to face him. She remembered what happened to her in the water. She got leg cramps and could not swim any longer. So she tried to move, but she kept sinking and drowning. That's all she remem
Carly picked up Jasper's clothes and went after him. Her body was shaking seriously as she thought about what could have happened to Raina. Then she remembers Raina usually gets leg cramps in the water, but not all the time. Her fear increased when she thought about what could have happened. Perhaps the leg cramp stuff happened again. She waited in front of the water for Jasper. Jasper swam deep into the water looking around for Raina. He wasn't getting any luck because she's not around. He continued to swim around till he finally sees an unconscious body sinking below the water. He quickly moved towards the body and recognized the person as Raina. He held her by her waist and swam out of the water with her. Then he carried her to the surface laying her on the floor. Carly rushed towards them in panic. "Oh my God! Raina!" She cried looking at her friend's pale and unconscious body. Jasper tried to revive her by pressing her stomach but it didn't work. "Press her stomach, I'll hav
Jasper stared at Bella filled with guilt. He slowly let her go and shook his head. "I actually came with someone else." He told her sincerely. That hurt Bella a lot. She still managed to smile even though she wasn't happy. "Of course, what was I thinking? I guess I got too emotional and stupid right now. I'll leave right away." She tried leaving. Jasper stopped her, "Bella wait. Don't you want to know who I came with?"She smiled sadly, "Does it matter? I can't make you stay with me anyway. It doesn't matter who you came with Jasper.""I'm still working Bella. Don't get me wrong, I won't come with anyone else if I wasn't working." He explained. That's when Bella decided to look at his dressing. Her painful smile turned to a big frown. She got so furious again. That bitch is now taking him to the beach with her. She just couldn't go by herself and she needed the company of Jasper to do that. "Can't she go anywhere without you? She's been doing that for a long time, why suddenly a
Jasper felt like he didn't hear her. He wanted her to repeat what she said. "I don't think I understand you Bella. Can you please elaborate?" He asked. Bella sighed, "Please accompany me to the beach today. I don't want to go alone."She just repeated the same thing. He remembered his boss told him to get ready for the beach. He has work today as it seems, the beach is also where he's taking them. He felt extremely bad that he's going to disappoint Bella again. "Bella... I'm so sorry. But that won't be possible today." He told her honestly. "Can't you ask her for a day off? You deserve a day off at least. You shouldn't always be staying with her, you have a life too." Bella snarled at him. "Bella that's not how it works. You have to understand that I don't work in an office. My job is complicated and sadly, these are the cons of this job." Bella got up angrily. Even if Jasper made her see reasons why he can't go with her, she still refused to accept it. She wanted to get Jasper
Jasper stared at Sir Edwardo Williams, his personality was a bit intimidating because of the power he possesses but he remained calm. The rest of Raina's family was staring at him, waiting for a reply. "I am just her personal bodyguard and driver sir." Jasper replied politely. "Are you that close with my daughter?" Madam Diane added another question. All this interrogation just because he carried her into the house? He felt like he has made a mistake in helping her out. Now he has to answer weird and uncomfortable questions from the Williams family. "I don't know how close you mean. But we're close enough as we are supposed to be. I know my place madam." He replied again calmly. "You must be really special to be allowed and given such privileges. My sister never allows anyone to touch her especially carrying her the way you did." Freida said. The reason for the interrogation was to be sure Raina was getting some changes. She fell asleep to the extent of allowing her own personal
