"I was scared of your bodyguard, girl. I thought he was going to beat me up earlier. He was staring too intensely. It's like he wanted to swallow me whole," Bret said exaggeratedly as they got into his car. She rode in his friend's car because she had left her car so that Gun could have a ride home."Don't worry. Gun probably won't punch someone without a reason," she replied to her friend while looking out the window."What's your plan, Arielle? Why did you send him home? He was right about what he said earlier. If it wasn't one group trying to kill you, maybe another group was waiting for you outside the hospital earlier. Your bodyguard is just worried about you."Arielle let out a deep sigh. "I'm going to fire him from being my bodyguard, Bret.""What? Are you crazy? Do you want to die early?" Bret commented with wide eyes when he heard what she said. When she didn't respond, Bret just sighed before speaking to her again. "C'mon, Arielle. If you have a problem, tell me. I'm here no
Gun had almost finished a bottle of expensive liquor that had been stored in his cellar for a long time. He had planned to open that imported liquor on the day when he and Arielle became a couple. But now that it was unlikely to happen, he decided to open it to drown his disappointment in the alcohol they were supposed to celebrate with."That's enough, Gun. Don't think about that woman anymore. She's ungrateful, so she doesn't deserve your attention. After you risked your life to protect her, she just fired you as her bodyguard. Is she crazy? Does she want to die?" his cousin Jacob couldn't help but blurt out. He was drinking alcohol with him at his house, but he wasn't like him, who had already consumed a lot of alcohol.Even though he is no longer Arielle's bodyguard, he still can't help but worry about her safety. Even if she doesn't pay him, he doesn't care as long as he can ensure her safety.He doesn't understand why she suddenly replaced him as her bodyguard when he had shown
When Claire entered Tyron's small condo that he rented, she immediately smelled the scent of alcohol in the air. The living room was strewn with empty beer bottles and the wrappers of junk food that he had used as snacks scattered everywhere. The throw pillows were in disarray, and some were on the floor. In short, the living room was totally messed up.Claire's head heated up when she saw the mess inside Tyron's condo, but it heated up even more when she saw him lying on the floor in a disheveled state. His mustache was long, clearly uncut for several days. Annoyed, she approached Tyron and shook his shoulder strongly. "Tyron, wake up! What are you doing to yourself?" she asked the man angrily.Tyron only groaned and angrily removed the hand that was holding his shoulder, but he did not open his eyes, which only further irritated Claire. If she didn't love him, she would have just let him do whatever he wanted with his life.A few days had passed since she last visited his condo bec
"Are you crazy, Arielle? Why did you fire Gun as your bodyguard?"Like Bret's reaction, this was also Kim's reaction when she found out what she had done. They are now inside a bar because she invited her friend to go out with her. Kim was off duty the next day, so she accepted her invitation."But I don't want him to risk his life for me again, Kim," she replied in a tone that didn't know what to do. She misses Gun so much, but she doesn't want to contact him because if she sees him or hears his voice, she might take back her decision and reinstate Gun as her bodyguard."Are those new bodyguards of yours reliable?" Kim raised an eyebrow as she glanced at the three police officers who were her new bodyguards. The three were seated at another table, drinking beer while chatting happily."I don't know," she answered, even though she knew the answer. She also glanced at her three bodyguards. They were drinking beer and enjoying themselves as if they had no one to guard. What if she was
Arielle and her friend's eyebrows rose simultaneously when they heard what the man who approached and spoke to them said. The man was handsome, to be honest, but his behavior and manner of speaking clearly showed he was a playboy. And it seemed he had his eyes set on her friend.She looked around for where he came from, but she didn't see any empty tables, so where was the table he claimed he was sitting at alone? She saw a man sitting at a table, but his head was bowed and he seemed to be reaching for something under the table, so she couldn't see his face.She just shrugged and thought maybe the man had left the table and someone else had sat there by the time he returned so he had nowhere to sit. She also didn't pay much attention to the man she saw reaching under the table. She turned her gaze back to the man in front of them. He seemed interested in Kim, as his eyes were focused more on her friend."It seems you didn't find a woman to fool in this bar, so you approached us, Mr. P
Arielle was shocked to learn from the police that the person who was trying to kill her was not Tyron and Claire, but Mr. Rivero, the former shareholders of her company. From the three hired killers who tried to kill her inside the bar, the police found that it was Mr. Rivero who was behind the attempt on her life. She knew he was not a good person, but she did not expect him to be able to have her killed because of his intense hatred for her.She felt a great disappointment because it was not the two people she expected to be imprisoned, but Mr. Rivero. Although it was not Claire and Tyron who were behind the two attempts on her life, she was certain that the latter was the one who entered her house and tried to kill her."So what's your plan now?" Bret asked her as they both sat on the edge of the swimming pool. She told her friend what happened at the bar. Her friend apologized to her because the bodyguards he hired for her were not reliable. When he learned what happened, he immed
Arielle felt a sense of embarrassment as her former classmates examined her looks from head to foot. They really couldn't believe the big transformation they saw in her. She felt like she was so ugly back then."Arielle Simpson? Is that really you?" Finally, one of her classmates broke the awkward stares of her classmates at her. This person stood up and approached her to guide her to the vacant seat across Claire's seat."Who else could it be? There's only one Arielle Simpson who was your classmate back in senior high," she replied with a smile to Billy, who had asked the question. She just went with a smile to deal with the feeling of shyness she was experiencing.She took a deep breath and tried to act casual. She didn't want Claire to notice that she was nervous, and she also wanted to be confident in front of their classmates, especially those who used to bully her for being nerdy because of her out-of-this-world taste of fashion."I can't believe you're the nerd we used to have
More than five minutes had passed before Tyron and Claire returned to their seats together. When they came back, they were both smiling as if nothing had happened. Arielle secretly frowned, knowing that they were just holding back their anger towards her.The liveliness returned to their table, and they continued their conversation."Arielle, I have a question for you," Lilac asked her. It seems she's not done trying to embarrass her."Of course, you can ask me anything that you want to know," Arielle replied with a smile. Maybe Lilac thought she would back down from her questions.Lilac smiled at her as if making sure she would be embarrassed by her question this time."I heard that you hired a bodyguard to protect you and fell in love with him. Aren't there any other men around you and you even went after a lowly bodyguard?"Her gaze at Lilac suddenly sharpened. She didn't care if her former classmates saw her angry look at the woman. She could insult her, but she wouldn't allow her
"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
