The Bodyguard: Guardian of the Phoenix Project CHAPTER 18
Laura Anthony I had no idea what was happening to me. He had completely lost his wits. No sooner had I lost myself in Simon's arms than I was there in the shower teasing him like an insatiable madwoman. I didn't recognize myself. That man had the power to awaken things I didn't even know I was able to feel. Simon thought I was under the influence of alcohol when I started seducing him. I had been drinking, yes, but nothing that made me aware of what I was doing. In fact, I knew exactly what I wanted, but I didn't have the heart to say it so blatantly. So Sara advised me to pretend I was a little tall. If everything went wrong I could pretend I didn't remember anything the next day. I thought the idea was too far,fetched, but I decided to give it a try. I thought it was so cute when he got scared because he thought I was drunk. He didn't want to take advantage of my so-called drunkenness, and I thought that was great. Simon, in addition to being kind, was very ethical and that deligh

Laura AnthonyI reached the sidewalk and started looking for a taxi. I could have walked, but it was too late and I didn't know New York that well. I was fiddling with my phone, thinking about calling a private car when Jonny pulled up with the Blazer in front of me.— Hi Laura, how are you?— Do you want a ride?—What are you doing here at this hour?— I asked in amazement.— I just left some reports at the agency and decided to grab a snack here at Tino's . He smiled without getting out of the vehicle.— Ah yes! That Mexican restaurant. I still don't know, can you believe it?—We can arrange a day with Simon and Sara.— We will see! Will you leave me at home? I asked, already thanking God for having appeared. I was afraid Simon would come after me.—Of course, get in there!— he said as he unlocked the doors.I turned aroun

Simon LeeMy head kept thinking about Laura's words. —No, it is not.—. That had been worse than a slap. How could she think I would hurt her? I just wanted to talk, explain that Cassandra was a clueless person and that she did this to tease women who approached me. I hadn't understood why Laura had acted so possessively. I never gave her any reason to think I had another woman. I spent most of my time by his side, when I wasn't at band commitments. I knew at first she was jealous of the fans, but I thought she got used to it.I looked out the living room window, it was already dawn. I hadn't slept a wink all night . I couldn't relax knowing that Laura was upset with me. Spok , who was lying under the little table, was watching me with sad little eyes.—You're missing her, aren't you, little friend?— The little one started to wag his tail from side to side, but without moving.

Laura AnthonyI opened the apartment door expecting a sermon like that, but Matheus lifted me up in the air and hugged me so hard that I started to cry.— Don't cry, my love!— It's all right now.—I let your father down,— I commented after he walked in and threw himself on the couch pulling me in for a cuddle. Lying with my head on his shoulder, I felt the exact peace I needed at that moment.—My dad looks tough, but it's just a facade. I've already talked to him and reassured him. Said he'd follow you like a shadow.—You know I love you, don't you? I played with his hair, receiving a kiss on the cheek soon after.—Woe to you if you didn't. — And I hope it's at the top of your Christmas gift list. Before Simon even.— He pinched my nose.—Actually Spok is on top— I blurted out frankly.— Cum! And where's the Spok that

Laura Anthony Simon said that this song represented how he felt when we were teenagers, when he didn't have the courage to come out. So he wrote these lyrics dreaming of one day playing them for me, when he became a successful singer. I had no right to question or demand anything about his career. It was his plan, it was what he loved to do. No one should give up their dreams for anyone. — I'm out of breath, Little One. I haven't been able to breathe since yesterday. And it has nothing to do with my illness. It has to do with the fact that I don't exist without you.— He put the guitar down on the floor and leaned it against the wall and ruffled his hair in the way that was my undoing. Shit Simon! I ran to him and threw myself on his neck. My legs wrapped around his waist and I hugged him tightly, feeling my body heat up. His lips grazed my neck and took my mouth in an overwhelming way. There was urgency and desperation in that kiss. —Don't leave me, Laura! Please do not leave me! I
The Bodyguard: Guardian of the Phoenix Project CHAPTER 23
Simon Lee The night I had planned was going down the drain. Laura ended up on the dance floor and wouldn't put down her glass of drink. I knew she was doing this to punish me and I didn't like seeing her so upset. The fact that she couldn't admit our relationship in public bothered her. Our disagreement the night before had left me at a loss. Even though we promised to talk, and she had already forgiven me, I still felt like she was upset with me. But worst of all was the call from Santiago. I didn't like the guy, for obvious reasons. He'd been hitting on Laura for a long time. Matheus had warned me about this and I had to control myself every time I was face to face with him, in the Phoenix missions. Now the bastard was surrounding Laura again, but my sixth sense was telling me there was something very strange about that call. Even though Jonny had assured me that he was indeed in New York, something was making me suspicious about his intentions. And besides, I wasn't going to let La

Thomas Anthony —Sara, keep Laura in your line of sight. He could be anywhere. How is she? I rubbed my temples, feeling the twinges hit my brain. —Picking up. Someone drugged her. Sorry, Thomas. I was careless. — Do not worry. Matheus will get you out of there in a few minutes. Exit through the back and don't miss the point. Keep talking to me. I'm almost at the airport. —How about dinner after this is all over? You owe me a dance. The sharp crack that followed Sara's voice took my breath away and nearly burst my eardrums. What I heard next was the shouting and Matheus's voice in the distance. — Sara? Laura? The moan that left my mouth startled Jonny. He took out his cell phone and called Matheus. Sara had been shot, but Laura was fine, that's what he said. Sarah shot? I loosened the knot on my tie, feeling my chest burst. Jonny handed me a pill and a glass of water. My head throbbed with pain. Not again. Please God! Not again. That dry bang kept echoing in my ears. I felt the ai

Laura Anthony—My God, where am I? No! Please! It can not be.I got up from the bed where I was lying and realized I was wearing clothes that weren't mine. Where I was? I held my head with my hands trying to recall the memory. That devil. Not again. The image of Oliver entering the bathroom and the sound of gunshots were still vivid in my head. —You thought I wouldn't find you.— The way he said that made me throw up again.There were two shots and I remember I ran my hand over my body trying to find the wound. Everything was strangely blurry. Sara's distorted voice called to me and my eyes found her on the floor. I threw myself on top of her and despaired when I saw the blood spurting in her chest. I remember that disgusting hand pulled me, and the monster dug its nails into the back of my neck making me feel a deep pain. Soon after, I heard Matheus's screams. I felt my body drop and I collapsed next to S

Elis de Albuquerque Lee Anthony I opened my eyes and saw that little being breathing slowly before my eyes. Julia had a delicious smell of peace. Her eyes closed and her mouth half open , reminded me of when she was still a small, fragile baby. I had lost eight years of her childhood, but I would have a lifetime to make up for it. I lifted my head and saw the child's body occupying practically my entire side of the bed. There was room for four people there, but she preferred to curl up around my legs, probably looking to feel safe in a place that was still unknown to her. I had shown her her room, beautifully decorated by Laura. The only room in the house I hadn't seen when Thomas had taken me there. He had justified that it was under renovation and had many objects scattered around. I would never have thought that this was the room my daughter would occupy. Even though it was so beautiful and full of toys, Júlia preferred to sleep in my bed, and I accepted, of course. If I could, I

I helped my girl into the armchair at the dressing table, and while she was getting ready, I took the opportunity to call Laura. I went to the balcony of the living room so that Elis wouldn't hear me. I told him we were going up and asked him to leave everything organized as we agreed. When I got back to the room, my girl was ready. The red lipstick on her mouth sparked lewd thoughts in my mind, but I did everything I could to control myself, or I'd end up missing Christmas dinner. I approached her and helped her up. I touched her face and stroked her cheek with my thumb. My wife was so beautiful and I couldn't stop admiring her.—You still owe me dinner and a dance , remember ? — she said all honeyed.The mention of Elis's request to me before the shooting brought heavy memories to my mind. She must have sensed that I was shaken, because she clutched at my chest and apologized.—I beg your pardon, Life! I shouldn't dwell on the past. Not at this very special moment.—It's okay, love.

Thomas AnthonyIn all my life I had never felt such desire. Hearing the woman of my life moan in my arms, and seeing her so surrendered, made my dick ache inside my pants. It was very repressed horny . For years I tried to run away from that feeling. I thought Sara was too young for me, besides, I had closed my heart to a new love. I had my adventures, of course, I dated a lot of women, but it was always just sex. And many times I would close my eyes and imagine my Sara in my arms. When I opened them and realized it wasn't her, I was blown away. After a while I didn't look for anyone else. I solved my horny moments on my own, and most of the time they happened when I had met her for a few moments, or when I was talking to her on the phone, and she teased me in that way that drove me crazy.Sara had no idea of the effects it had on my body and mind. And I thought I was going to go crazy when I saw her on top of that bed in the ICU. Those were the worst days of my life, when my heart wa

Sara de AlmeidaA woman entered and positioned herself in the center. I took a deep breath when the first song started. It was simply beautiful to see the singer's grandeur, the way she breathed between verses. I was fascinated. With each scene and song I got emotional. I couldn't help but think of Thomas, wondering where he was right now. I wanted him to be by my side. Even though I knew he might never forgive me, I felt deep inside that my heart belonged to him. And it probably wouldn't be anyone else's.Throughout the show I felt emotion overwhelm me. It looked like it had been prepared for me. The memories of my childhood and everything that I had lived until then, paraded through my mind, making me cry many times. I couldn't say if it was the intensity of the music, the Christmas atmosphere or the uncertainty of my future, but the truth is that I was fragile and defenseless in the face of life. I hated feeling this way, but I didn't have the strength to go on, not without Thomas,
The Bodyguard: Guardian of the Phoenix Project CHAPTER 52
Sara de AlmeidaAfter talking for hours with Laura, I felt more relieved. It was strange to be in Thomas's house, faced with this situation. I felt embarrassed, even more so knowing that he left right after he received my resignation. Deep down I knew he was disappointed in me. I understood. Thomas was always very careful with his agents. I investigated the lives of all of them, as soon as they arrived at the agency.First there was Santiago 's betrayal, then the discovery that there were more double agents in Phoenix and to make matters worse, the woman he had been interested in was a big liar. It was understandable that he needed some time alone. But did it have to be in Brazil? Right in the place where he had the most girlfriends. And where Beatriz, his ex-wife, lived. Matheus said that after the separation of his parents, Thomas met other women with whom he dated, but without creating any emotional bond. Was he with any of them at that moment? It was natural for her to want to for

Simon Lee—I thought he was going straight home from the hospital to rest, and he calls me to say he's away on business. When is my dad going to stop living for work and start taking better care of himself? The call from Thomas the day before had made Laura very nervous.—Don't worry so much, Little One. Your brother has it — I tried to argue as I finished putting on my black sneakers.—But he'll hear me out when he gets back.— If you don't want to retire, you'll have to take a vacation of at least two years.Laura paraded in her bra and panties in front of me. Her belly was the most beautiful thing and I admired her feeling an immense love for my family. That scene, for sure, would have made me very horny at another time, but we were getting ready for Maicon's funeral and I was trying to disguise my sadness.—I doubt he'll do that.— Even more so now that Sara has disengaged from the Phoenix,— I said, standing in front of the closet mirror.—I don't understand what's going on in that
The Bodyguard: Guardian of the Phoenix Project CHAPTER 50
Thomas AnthonyI opened my eyes and saw Matheus sitting in the armchair, playing with his cell phone, as usual.—Won't you stop for a minute, boy?—Good to see you too, Dad, and thanks for the boy — he replied without taking his eyes off the phone.—I can't take being stuck in hospitals anymore,— I mumbled, shifting in bed.—Ditto. Take care of yourself and we won't have to look at Dr. André — Matheus dropped the cell phone and came to help me lift the head of the bed.— My poor friend. He can't bear to look at your face anymore either.—You're right, Thomas. — The doctor confirmed after entering the room.— What is doctor? It's not every day that a pretty face like mine wanders around your hospital. Nurses have nothing to complain about.I burst out laughing when I saw my friend's astonished face. My son was no good, but I had already noticed that he was the reason for the buzz in the halls.— Good. I am sorry to inform you that you will no longer be the target of my employees' eyes.

Sara de AlmeidaAfter the doctor released me, I found Matheus in the hallway. He was coming out of a room and he came towards me. The nurse pushing the wheelchair said he was going to call someone to take me downstairs, but Matheus said he would take care of me. I thanked him when the man took his leave.—Thank God he's on the mend. My father is sleeping, but he will love to wake up and see you.— I can't Matheus!—Can't what? — He frowned, crouching down in front of me.—I want you to give this to Thomas.— I held the envelope out to him. — It has my resignation and another letter explaining my reasons.—None of that. You will hand it to him yourself. Why are you doing this?—Because there are things about me that you don't know. I've lied too much to everyone. I am tired. I don't dare look at him.The elevator door opened and Jonny appeared in the hallway. He walked to Matheus, who got up and greeted him. Afterwards, my brother kissed me on the cheek and asked if I was ready.—Sara,

Thomas AnthonyIn a few minutes we arrived at Simon's apartment. He knelt before his friend's body and wept. I found Jonny standing over the body of Bob, one of the agency's most senior security guards. I touched his shoulder and asked what we had for clues.—We managed to get the plate, but it must have been tampered with. We are activating the Transit Center to follow the route. We have already notified the police and they are monitoring the airports and the main exits of the city.—Have you notified Bob's family yet?—The wife is already on her way.Simon approached, completely devastated.—I shouldn't have let Sara come here. I should have insisted that she accompany us.—It wasn't your fault. We're both going to find her. — Jonny grabbed his brother by the neck and their foreheads were pressed together. The union between brothers seems to have become even stronger with the arrival of Sara. That protective instinct between them was something I knew well.—The three of us are going
