"Are you not going to follow Gun, Ma'am Arielle? What if he never comes back? No one will save you if someone tries to harm you again," Emma asked her worriedly while they were sitting in the living room.She turned to her maid and shook her head. "No, Emma. Maybe he's not the right person to be my driver-bodyguard."Gun doesn't seem like a bodyguard. His actions and way of speaking don't fit the role of a bodyguard. Well, he's not really a bodyguard but just a driver. But even being a driver doesn't suit him either.Maybe Gun attended college but was not able to finish his studies. And maybe he was just forced to become the driver of that woman because she was his girlfriend and maybe the salary was too high."Maybe you should ask Sir Tyron's help in finding a bodyguard, Ma'am Arielle?" Emma suggested, which she immediately responded to with a strong refusal. If her bodyguard is from Tyron, she is sure that she won't last a week and she will become a cold corpse.Emma didn't say anyt
"Arielle! Wait!" She was about to get into her car when she heard the voice of her cousin Claire, who was running after her. She turned to look at her cousin and waited for her to approach her. "What's wrong with you, Arielle? That's not how you usually behave," Claire immediately asked when she was in front of her, with a hint of annoyance in her tone.She raised an eyebrow at Claire's way of questioning as if implying that she was the one at fault for what happened."What's wrong with me?" She slightly smirked before speaking again. "There's nothing wrong with me, Claire. For the first time in my life, I made the right choice.""What? You love Tyron so much and as far as I know, you have been dreaming of marrying him for a long time. And now that he has proposed marriage for the second time, you rejected him again. What is happening to you?"Claire looks very upset as if she was the one who proposed marriage to her and got rejected. But of course, her cousin will really be angry wit
Arielle tries hard to remove the pillow covering her face, but no matter what she does, she can't seem to take it off. The person covering her face was much stronger compared to her strength. Almost unable to breathe, she panics excessively but still doesn't lose hope. God has given her a second chance at life, so she won't waste it.She stretches out her hands and searches for something nearby that she can use against the person trying to kill her. She remembers that the small table where her lampshade is placed is close to her pillow, and its holder is made of metal. She reaches for it with all her might, and finally, when she gets hold of the lampshade, she forcefully swings the metal holder at the person covering her face.Since she couldn't see his head, she just hit him anywhere on his body. The important thing is that she hits him so he would let go of the pillow. It seems like she hurt that person because the pressure of the pillow on her face suddenly loosened.She took advan
Gun clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth while staring at the face of the unconscious woman lying in the hospital bed. Her face clearly showed the extreme hardship she had gone through just to escape from the person responsible for what happened to her.He was on his way to her house when he saw her walking unsteadily on the street. He intended to talk to her about the marriage proposal he saw from her boyfriend while he was inside the restaurant where Tyron proposed to her. He wanted to make sure if she really intended to marry that man before deciding to cut off his communication with her.In the beginning, he did not immediately recognize Arielle. Her body and face were covered in mud. But when they were just a few meters apart, that's when he recognized her. He quickly got out of his car, approached her, and then rushed her to the nearest hospital.The doctor who treated Arielle said that she had broken ribs and her left foot was dislocated, which was still swollen. Bu
Because Gun was her bodyguard again, he returned to live in her house while working for her. Not only was she pleased with his return, but even her two maids who seemed to have developed a crush on her handsome bodyguard also felt glad.Three days after her discharge, Claire visited her. She was surprised to see her lying in bed and still unable to walk properly."What the hell happened to you, Arielle? Why do you look like that?"Arielle couldn't tell if the surprise on Claire's face was genuine or if she was just acting."A devil broke into my house and tried to kill me," she replied to Claire while staring intently at her face. She was observing what her cousin's reaction would be. But she was disappointed when she didn't see any expression of guilt on her cousin's face. What she saw was a concern, which she knew was just for show. Her cousin was really good at hiding her true feelings."What? Oh my goodness, Arielle! I'm glad you're safe." Claire approached her side and sat on the
Tyron stood at the doorway of Arielle's house, holding a bottle of beer and reeking of alcohol all over his body When Gun was about to confront Tyron, whom they suspected of breaking into her house and attempting to kill her, she quickly held Gun back by the arm. She gently shook her head at him and pulled him back down beside her. She could feel Gun's suppressed anger within him. Who wouldn't be angry when the person you suspect of trying to kill you is right in front of you, but you can't confront or imprison him because you have no evidence against him?"Tyron? What are you doing here in such a state?" Claire quickly approached Tyron and tried to help him enter her house, as he was a bit wobbly and almost fell if Claire had not caught him in time.Arielle secretly sneered at him. So he was able to drive a car to her house and then he was going to fall right in front of her? What a big joke and drama. She knew he was just pretending to be drunk to make her feel guilty because she h
Arielle felt the call of nature, so she carefully got up from her bed. Her crutches were leaning against the side of her bed, so she didn't need to call anyone to help her get to the bathroom. She decided to take a shower to freshen up her whole body.The bruises on her body and face were not as dark anymore. Her broken bones were gradually healing, but she still couldn't move quickly or with force because she still felt the pain. The swelling in her foot had gone down, but it was still painful when she put her foot on the floor normally and she placed her weight on her feet. However, when she used the crutches, her foot didn't hurt as much, but the broken bones in her body were painful. She had no choice but to use the crutches when getting out of bed because her foot couldn't support the weight of her whole body.She walked carefully and slowly towards the cabinet to get her spare clothes, then placed them on the bed. She also walked slowly to the bathroom and stood under the show
After three weeks, Arielle's physical ailments have finally healed. Her normal strength has returned."You're strong again like a buffalo, Arielle. But you should be extra careful now so that what happened to you doesn't happen again," her doctor friend reminded her. Dr. Kim Salas visited her to make sure she was well."I know, Kim. And that's what I'm doing now. But I'm more at peace because I know someone is protecting me," she replied to her friend."So what's the status between the two of you now?" Kim suddenly asked, furrowing her brow."What's the status? With whom?" Kim rolled her eyes. "Who else would I be referring to other than you and your handsome bodyguard?" She gave her a teasing look and lightly bumped her arm."Crazy. What else would our status be other than the boss-employee?" she replied exasperatedly to Kim."Is that all?" she said with a hint of disappointment in her voice."Yes. That's all and nothing else. And one more thing, he already has a girlfriend who is b
"Yes. I will marry you, Gabriel," Arielle said tearfully, accepting Gabriel's marriage proposal. Why would she play hard to get when she truly wanted to marry him and become his wife?Gabriel's face lit up with immense joy upon hearing her answer. He embraced her tightly and lifted her, spinning her around in his happiness.After they were certain that Tyron and Claire could no longer escape the charges they filed against them, they decided to get married. Arielle was overjoyed because she was finally going to marry Gabriel. A day before her wedding to Gabriel, she suddenly remembered her parents' cellphone. With everything that had happened, she had forgotten about the phone she had sent for repair. She left her house and went to the cellphone repair shop."I thought you weren't going to get your phone back, Ma'am. I couldn't contact you because I lost the contact number you gave me," said the owner, sounding embarrassed. "It's okay, boss. I also forgot to pick up the phones becau
"Gabriel Adamson! What are you doing in my house?" Tyron angrily asked Gabriel, who responded with a strong punch to Tyron's stomach. The man kneeled on the floor while coughing. Gabriel's men, Harold, Tres, Dos, and Six quickly beats Tyron's men and throw them outside the house.Gabriel approached her and immediately untied her then hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry. I'm almost late. I almost lost you again."She hugged him tightly as well. She cried on his chest, not out of fear, but out of the joy of seeing him again. She missed him so much, but she was holding herself back from showing up in front of him again after her surgery. She wanted to be done with what she needed to do before facing Gabriel again."How did you know I was here?" she asked as she released herself from Gabriel's arms."It's Mr. Sanchez who told me you were going to come here to chase some dogs inside your house," he replied with a smile."Are you and Arielle acquainted, Gabriel Adamson?" Tyron asked Gabriel in d
When Arielle left Gabriel's house she first rented a small condo unit, then she arranged her documents to go abroad. With her money and the help of her Uncle Edgar, she quickly arranged her passport and US visa. After almost a month of waiting, she flew to America to have her face restored through plastic surgery.She chose to have the surgery from a famous plastic surgeon. And two weeks after arriving in America, she underwent an operation. The operation on her face lasted four hours. When she woke up, her entire face was wrapped in bandages.After two weeks, the doctor removed the bandage from her face. She cried when she saw that the appearance of her face had been restored. Even the small trace of the large scar on her face was gone, so she was extremely grateful to the doctor who operated on her face.After the bandage was removed from Arielle's face, she waited another month before returning to the country. And upon her return, her Uncle Edgar had a nice surprise for her. He had
Arielle woke up and Gabriel was no longer by her side. She smiled sweetly as she remembered their passionate lovemaking. However, the smile faded and was replaced by worry, as she feared that Gabriel might think she gave herself to him too quickly since they had just met. He might think that she was an easy-to-great woman.She admitted that she thinks Gabriel is a Gun and the latter not just didn't remember her. They had known each other for a long time, so she didn't hesitate to give herself to him a second time. She thought that the two were just one person. She took a deep breath and tried to remove the worries she felt from her mind.She got up from the bed and looked at the time on the wall clock. It was only 4 in the afternoon. She thought it was already night but it wasn't.She got down from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. She didn't bother to put on the clothes she had taken off because she was alone in her room. She was happy that the pain in her foot did not
Arielle admitted the whole truth to Gabriel about the secret she was hiding. She didn't hide anything except the part where her mind time-traveled to the past while she was unconscious. She thought he would get mad at her because she lied to him, but his face only darkened after learning everything, and he carried her back into her room."Don't move. I'll just get some ice and medicine so your foot won't swell up too much and the pain will go away," Gabriel said to her before leaving the room. He was only gone for a few minutes, and when he returned, he was carrying a tray with a glass of water, medicine, and two ice packs. "Here. Take this medicine to reduce the pain."She was like an obedient child who followed what Gabriel told her without complaint."Won't you fire me because I lied to you, Boss?" she couldn't help but ask after she took the medicine.From her feet where the icepack was applied, Gabriel's serious face rose to her face. "Why? Do you want me to chase you out of my h
Arielle ran quickly towards the stairs and as she was running, she put her cellphone in the pocket of the pants she was wearing."Come back, Arielle!" she heard Tyron's voice as he chased her.She did not look back and just kept running down the stairs. But unfortunately, her right foot suddenly stumbled when she was on the fifth step from the bottom. She screamed as she rolled down the stairs.Even though she was hurt from falling down the stairs, she quickly got up. But she suddenly sat down because the pain in her right foot, the one she slipped on, was searing. She was worried that Tyron might be close by, so she looked up the stairs. But when she turned the stairs, she was met with a strong slap from Tyron's hand, who had apparently approached her. The force of his slap made her sit on the floor."Did you think you could escape us, Arielle? You're mistaken! Because we won't let you leave with the video of Tyron and me on your phone," said Claire as she walked down the stairs. She
Arielle woke up early that morning and took a bath before going out of the room and then went down to the living room. She thought she was the first to wake up, but that was not the case because she was already on the third step of the stairs when she saw the man sitting in the living room, reading the newspaper while drinking coffee. The stairs in Gabriel's house are circular, so she doesn't see him sitting in the living room right away.She slowly turned around to go back upstairs, but Gabriel saw her and his forehead wrinkled when he saw that she was planning to go back upstairs."Did you forget something upstairs?" Gabriel asked her. She slowly turned around again to face him and smiled slightly while shaking her head. "Come here," he ordered her.She nervously walked towards Gabriel. Luckily, she had applied concealer on her scar before going out in her room, so he didn't see her big and ugly scar again."What will be my job, Boss?" she asked him as she approached him."Sit down,
Arielle was brought by Gabriel to his very large house. When she got out of his car, she realized that it was not only Harold who was always with him, but also six other muscular men who got out of the car and followed them. "Are they your men?" she asked Gabriel as she looked at the six men standing beside the car, seemingly waiting for Gabriel to go inside the house. "If you want to work in my house, then don't ask too many questions," Gabriel replied to her with a serious expression before walking into the house. "Our boss, Harold, is so grumpy. I was just asking a question, and he got angry right away," she said irritatedly to Gabriel's driver. Harold laughed when he heard what she said, and even the six men working for Gabriel couldn't help but laugh. "That's just how the Boss is, but he's kind and generous," Harold replied with a smile. "Right, guys?" he asked his six companions. "Harold is right, Miss Arielle. Our Boss is kind even though his face is always serious a
Arielle went back to the cellphone repair shop to pick up her parents' phones that she had brought in. She couldn't wait to know what had happened to the cellphones so she went into the repair shop even if the owner of the shop hadn't called her.This time, she no longer had to check if the mother and daughter were downstairs or in their room so she could escape because, after the confrontation, the two women had been avoiding her, which was better for her to move around freely."I'm sorry for coming to your shop even though you haven't called me yet. I was just too anxious to know if the phones were already fixed or not," Arielle apologized to the shop owner."I'm sorry but I haven't fixed your cellphone yet, Ma'am. I'll just call you when it's okay," the shop owner replied shyly.She felt a mix of sadness and disappointment when she heard what the man said. She could do nothing now but wait for the cellphone to be fixed. And she hoped it would be fixed as soon as possible so she cou
