The CEO Fierce Bodyguard Chapter Nine
Against my better judgment, I smiled at Atlas and said, “Okay, I will be driving.” There was a flicker of hesitation in his expression. Then he sighed and intoned, “Okay.” For a while, I felt nervous as he and I approached the car. But the moment I got behind the steering wheel and started the engine, my anxiety turned into pure excitement. “I have never seen you radiate with joy like you are now. Do you like him that much?” Atlas said, and his words drew my attention towards him. “I have a taste for cars, and Wreck is one dope automobile!” I mumbled, tightening my grip on the wheel. Then I gazed down at my shoes, drew my foot on the seat, and took off the heel before taking out the other one and tossing them in the backseat. “You are a wide one, ain't you?” Atlas mumbled as he looked at me with a half-smile on his lips. “Yeah, thanks for the compliment,” I said, stepping on the accelerator. At first, I drove at a slow speed, but once we got on the main road, I hit my feet hard

******************Atlas POV****************** My conscience kept bugging me after making Aria, my bodyguard. All I want to do is protect her and make her happy, but I have given her a job that many have died on, and I felt like a jerk for being weak and giving in to her wish. “Do you plan on arriving late to your meeting?” Aria asked, and I stared at her. Then my gaze fell on her barefoot, and without hesitating, I picked her off the ground, even though she was screaming for me to let her down, I kept walking until we got to the Jeep. “Stop struggling. You are making it hard for me to open the door.” I mumbled as I was striving to get a hold of the handle. Finally, Aria stopped throwing her legs, and I was able to open the door. Then I let her down on the seat and took a moment to catch my breath. “Pick me up again, and you will end up with a broken nose,” Aria shouted. “Why are your ear tips pink?” I asked, trying not to chuckle. But I couldn't hold it in, and I burst into a

After uncle Kerri’s remark, no one spoke and the room grew quiet for a while.Since my parents passed, I have long dreamt about managing their companies and expanding them into a business empire, so hearing my uncle tell me that I couldn't take control of the companies made me annoyed.But since I'm a patient-minded guy, I took a moment to calm down. Then I stared at my uncles and asked, “Why is that?”Without speaking, he stared at my other uncles and they all nodded slightly.Their behavior bothered me. But I kept silent and waited on uncle Kerri to say something.After a while, he finally looked me in the eyes and said, “Your other uncles and I don't think that you are capable of taking over.”Silence followed his remark. Then uncle Miles sighed and said, “You are still a kid when it comes to business.”“I have been studying for years just for this moment. I may be young, but I

Lilith POV When we first entered the conference room, Atlas had called every single one of the names on my list, and at that moment, my mission became very real to me. As I watched his uncles leave, I kept thinking how Atlas is a sheep who's surrounded by wolves dressed in sheep clothing. “Are you sure that you are okay? You seem a bit pale.” Atlas asked. His voice snapped me out of my thoughts for a second, and I gazed at him. “Are you okay?” Atlas asked again. Although I nodded and smiled at him, I wasn't actually paying attention to what he was saying because my mission was what was on my mind. Now that I have confirmed all of my targets and knows their faces, it was time to start executing my organization order. The command was, “If Atlas ever takes over the companies, I should make sure there are no obstacles in his way,” and so far, all his uncles looked like they were going to be an obstacle. They all see

The next morning I came down for breakfast, wearing dark ripped jeans, a bike jacket, and black boots, with my pale black bag on my shoulder. When I entered the dining room, Atlas looked at me, smiled, and said, “So this is your kind of style?” “Yes,” I said as I took a seat at the table. Then I stared at the smile on his face and asked, “What? You hate it?” I don't even know why I asked such a question, and why I cared to know what he thinks. “No, I like it. Your style is as unique as you.” Atlas said, taking a sip of his drink. Even though I tried so hard not to, I ended up smiling because of his response. After we got done with breakfast, Atlas and I headed outside, and at that moment, my gaze rested on the mole among Atlas’ bodyguards. I turned to Atlas and asked, “Can we not take the escort's cars today?” "Aria, I'm not sure that that's a good idea?” Atlas said with a look of hesitation on his face.

After Atlas and I got done eating, we left the cafe and got back into the Jeep. Then I turned to him and asked, “Where to next?” “Home. It's already four-fifteen o'clock “ Atlas said. Time was running out on me, and right now, I had only an hour and some minutes left. So wasting no time, I stepped on the accelerator and drove off. When we arrived at the mansion, Atlas unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get down from the car when I got a call. It was a spam call, but it came at the perfect time, and without any hesitation, I answered and said, “Hello, Susan.” For a second, I eyed Atlas before saying, “Calm down. What do you mean by, ‘Rob broke up with you!” The person on the other end of the line said, “What are you talking about?” But those words didn't make me break character. Instead, I got pretty emotional, forced myself to share a tear, and said, “I'm on my way, Sus! Don't try to do anything stupid!”

The warehouse was quiet, and I swallowed hard as I stared at Lex's body on the floor.It was clear that there was no backing out of this mission anymore, and I had to finish the rest of the names on the list.Suddenly, my ringtone broke the silence, and I gazed away from Lex, took my phone out of my pocket, and stared at the screen.Immediately, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt a tightness in my throat as I stared at Atlas' name blinking on my phone screen.Then I cleared my throat and answered the call, striving not to stare at Lex as I said, "What's up?""I'm just checking to see how things are going with you and your friend." Altas' voice echoed into my ear, and a sense of guilt caused me to pause.It sucks to have such a feeling, and I felt like I was getting soft which was something I couldn't afford to be since the mission just started to become serious."Aria," Atlas' voice flowed into my ear like a gentle whisper."U

Atlas POVAs the second skipped by while I waited for Aria to meet me in the living room, I tried to get my heart to stop beating so wildly.But it refused to do so, especially since the only image on replay in my head was that of Aria's shy face.It's like every moment I spent with her, she does something that draws me towards her even more.Finally, after waiting for a couple of minutes, my attention got drawn to the living room doorway because of the sound of footsteps, and it took only a few seconds for Aria to walk into the room.Although she didn't wear anything fancy, I couldn't stop myself from giving her a half-smile because just the sight of her made me feel a sense of excitement. It's weird, and I know that, but I couldn't help it."Should we leave?" Aria asked, and her words snapped me out of my feelings."Sure!" I said, sounding more enthusiastic than I intend to.Feeling a bit embarrassed, I kept silent and

Atlas' POVParis, the city of love. The night street light glowed on Lilith's face as she stared up at the Effie Towel."How can it still look so pretty... Even after three months of being here, I still can't believe how beautiful Paris is," She said to me with a soft smile on her face. I love her with everything in me... But this version of her, happy, carefree, and full of life is my favorite part about her. She turned around and looked into my eyes with those gorgeous ones. In some sense, we were never that different... Life hasn't been fair to us... Her toxic relationship with Mitch, and the betrayal of my uncles, brought out the worst side of us. But the best outcome of it all was meeting her."What? Do I have something on my face?" Lilith giggled, her eyes widened so cutely.I shook my head and replied, "No..nothing like that." When she gazed back at the towel, I stared at my watch, counting slowly, "3, 2, 1..."The fireworks lit up the sky like a thousand stars, and I droppe

His uncles shifted uncomfortably, clearly taken aback by Atlas's confident demeanor. Then Alex cleared his throat. "We'll be going now," he said stiffly."Right. But before you do, you all are fired, effectively and immediately. I want your desks clear and your belongings out of the offices by the end of the day," Atlas declared, his tone unwavering.Alex exchanged a look with his brothers, their expressions a mix of surprise and indignation. "Atlas, you can't just—" "Yes, I can," Atlas interrupted firmly. "I have played the game of cat and mouse long enough with you all and it's time to end it all once and for all.""Atlas, nephew..." Luke stepped forward, his voice a mix of pleading and frustration. "We've been here for you since day one. We've supported you through thick and thin. You can't just cast us aside like this.""Right," Ransom spoke up, his voice tinged with bitterness. "After all we've done for you, this is how you repay us?""We have always had your best interests at

"The court is about to begin! Everyone, please take your seats!" announced the bailiff, breaking the tense silence in the room.Atlas squared his shoulders, exchanging a glance with me. I could sense the weight of stress and the complexity of emotions swirling around him. We moved past Alex, Atlas went to the front with Wilson, and I sat on the bench with Tony and Victor. The two took my hand in theirs, and I smiled at them, feeling a bit less tense. The room fell silent as everyone settled into their seats, awaiting the start of the proceedings.As the judge entered and took his place at the bench, the courtroom hushed even further. "The court is in section! We are here today to determine the guilt or innocence of the defendant, Atlas Sharpe, in the murder of Mitch. Mr. Wilson, you may proceed with your opening statement." The judge announced.Mr. Wilson stood up, adjusting his glasses before addressing the court. "Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury," he began, his voic

Silently, I sat on the bed watching Atlas wear his coat. When he reached for his tie, I woke from the bed approached him, and gently took the tie from his hands. "Let me help you with that," I whispered.Atlas turned to face me, his eyes softening as he nodded. I deftly looped the tie around his neck, my fingers brushing against the cool fabric. The silence between us was comfortable, filled with unspoken words and shared understanding.As I tightened the knot and adjusted the tie, I glanced up to meet his gaze. "You look perfect," I said with a small smile.Atlas smiled back, a rare and beautiful sight. "Thank you," he murmured, his voice warm and tender.For a moment, we stood there, inches apart, and even though he tried to mask it with a smile, I could see the stress in his eyes. The trailer has been going on for one year and today we get to hear the final verdict. I knew how much this meant to him, how deeply he cared about the outcome. Gently, I placed a hand on his cheek, feel

"Okay," I said quietly, clicking on the most recent file, and the video began to play."Stop... Stop, Mitch.""Mitch, stop!""I can't breathe... Mitch, you are going to kill me." "I am not going to lose you again, Lilith!.... Especially not to that bitch!! You are mine! You are fucking mine, and I don't plan on making the same mistake twice and allow you to slip from my grip again.""I... I...a-m n-ot go-ing to be...bet-ray y-ou." "Do you think I am a fool? Do you think I don't know how much you hate my guts... The disgust on your face every time I touch you... Nothing I say or do could make you look at me the way you once did. You despise me." "You're wrong, Mitch...""Shut up!... I am no fool, Lilith... Now that that bastard is in a pitiful position, you are all over him. For the past two months, you barely come home or care to spend time with me. We’ve been drifting apart. You’ve become distant and indifferent and I hate it... Hate it, Lilith. So fucking much.""Mitch, plea-se."

Atlas walked in with Mr. Wilson, his lawyer, and Tony by his side. His presence seemed to fill the room with a sense of dangerous aura."Who hired you two morons?" Atlas repeated, his voice laced with anger.The taller detective's face paled. "Mr. Sharpe, we're just trying to—""You two know that this is outrageous behavior, right?" Mr. Wilson interrupted. "You two are investigating under pretenses, which is not only unethical but also illegal."Both detectives started to sweat, visibly nervous. "Mr. Wilson, we were just—" the shorter one began, but Mr. Wilson cut him off."Just what? Trying to manipulate my client into handing over evidence without proper authorization? This is a clear violation of her rights."Atlas stepped closer to my bedside, his eyes softening as they met mine. "Are you okay, Lilith?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.I nodded, feeling a rush of relief at his presence, and cried out, "I'm okay. Just a bit shaken... You are okay... I am so happy that you ar

Lilith's POVThe was this continued beeping sound ringing in my ears, and I squeezed my eyes.Suddenly, I sucked in a deep breath and then jumped up, screaming, "Atlas?!""Hold her down. The anesthesia has worn off." Dr. Ling said, and I gazed around to see that I was in a hospital room."What... what's going on?" I managed to ask out, still not quite awake, my head feeling foggy like it was covered in cotton wool.Dr. Ling began while walking towards me. "Well, you got shot in the arm and punched in the face. You suffered a serious concussion and you had minor surgery to remove your arm." "Where... Where is Atlas?" I mumbled, my memories a bit hazy with sleep, but I forced myself to focus."The detectives are waiting outside. They had been for a while, waiting for the anesthesia to wear off. They can better answer your question... But are you mentally ready to talk to them?" I nodded, trying to gather my thoughts as much as possible, feeling more aware now as my memories became

Looking away from Tony, I started around the room, and called out, "Lilith... Lilith! You in here?!"When I got no reply, my heart pounded as I realized Lilith was gone. "Tony, where is she?" I demanded, fear tightening my chest. His eyes widened, mirroring my panic. "I thought she was right here with us," he said, shaking his head. "How come-"Without a second thought, I dashed out of the apartment. The hallway stretched endlessly ahead."Lilith!!" I called out, my voice echoing off the walls. When I got silent in response, I reached for my phone, dialed her number, and listened desperately for any sound that might lead me to her.Then, in the distance, her ringtone cut through the air. I sprinted towards it, each step burning in my chest. As I reached the further end of the hallway, there she was... a shadow in the dim light, and then my eyes caught sight of Mitch turning around to face me."Atlas, get down!" Lilith screamed. At the sound of her voice, I dropped without hesitati

An hour later, I was seated by Atlas in the backseat of his car with Tony driving the car. The address Linda had given us led us to a modest apartment complex with faded paint and overgrown weeds. As we approached the building, Atlas’s hand found mine, offering a comforting squeeze."We’ll stay in touch through the comms," Tony said, breaking the silence. "If anything goes wrong, we’ll be there in seconds."I took a deep breath and squeezed Atlas's hand back, trying to steady my nerves. The apartment complex ahead looked rundown, with peeling paint and cracked sidewalks. It felt like the kind of place where someone could easily disappear into the shadows."Got it," I replied, my voice steady despite the tension. Both Atlas and I got out of the car, and Tony parked it a little further down the street to keep a low profile. The building loomed before us, and Atlas kept close to me as we approached the entrance, his presence a reassuring anchor."We’ll head up to the apartment on the th
