The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 25. Too Reckless
"Prince, do you have a brother?" Emily asked in a low voice. Prince's eyebrows rose. His body froze for a moment. It was as if he didn't expect the question to come. But after one blink, he snorted. "You're digging up information about me again? Are you that curious about me?" "Don't beat around the bush. Just answer what I ask." "I'll answer if you're willing—" Suddenly, Emily slammed her hand on the dashboard. Prince gasped. "Why do you always change the subject every time I ask about your family? Is it difficult to answer my questions?" Prince's lips pursed. His expression was innocent. "I'm not the type of person who likes to share personal information. If you want to know a lot about me, you have to get close to me first. Are you willing to be that special person?" Emily snorted. One of her cheeks twitched. "So you won't tell me?" Prince shook his head slowly. Seeing that, Emily felt tired. Very tired. There were too many mixed feelings in her heart. "Then don't
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 26. Emily's First Kiss
"Miss Harper? What's wrong? Miss Harper?" Prince was confused when he saw Emily running while covering her mouth. Without waiting for an answer, he ran, chasing her to the front of the toilet. "Miss Harper? Are you okay?" Prince knocked. Apparently, the door was not closed tightly. Worried that something bad would happen to Emily, he went in. Inside, Emily was coughing. Occasionally, she spat. Her hand which was gripping the water bottle seemed to be shaking, afraid. "Miss Harper, what happened? Is there something strange in your food?" Prince touched her shoulder. Emily hurried to wipe her mouth. "Shrimp .... There's shrimp in those balls." While Emily gargled, Prince froze. "Are you allergic to shrimp?" he whispered when he came to a conclusion. Emily nodded. "Are your reactions usually severe?" Prince studied Emily's face more closely. "I was rushed to the emergency room when I was two years old," the girl answered before smacking her mouth. "Oh, why does it stil
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 27. Deeper Kiss
"You don't want to sleep yet?" Prince asked making Emily even more nervous. "N-not yet. I still have a lot of work to do and I'm not sleepy. You just sleep first." Emily glanced shyly. Prince sighed faintly. "Good. That way, we can take turns being on guard. Wake me up when you want to sleep." Emily's awkwardness was suddenly replaced by astonishment. "Isn't it safe here? Why are we taking turns on guard?" "Better to stay alert. Don't let your guard down, understand? Wake me up if there's anything suspicious." Emily nodded slightly. Then, while Prince got into a lying position, she pretended to focus on her tablet. Only after the man closed his eyes did she dare to turn her head. "How could he be so casual? Did the incident just now have no impact on him? Is it because he often kisses—touches girls' lips?" Emily thought, a little annoyed. While pondering, her eyes fell on Prince's lips. Her hand unconsciously moved to touch her own lips. The moment when their lips connec
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 28. Cross the Line
"You know what?" Prince whispered between seductive gasps. "I've tried to restrain myself as best I can, but you keep pushing me to cross the line." Emily replied softly. "What's holding you back from approaching me? What makes you hesitate?" Prince looked into Emily's gray eyes with a sad look. His thumb stroked her cheek gently. "Can you be patient?" Emily snorted. Looking away, she brushed Prince's hand off her arm. "Why do you keep asking me to be patient? I'm tired, Prince. I can't hold back my curiosity any longer. Why don't you just admit that you are Cayden?" Prince gritted his teeth. "I can't. I'm not—" "You're Cayden, right?" Emily insisted with her most serious expression. Prince sighed heavily. "Sorry, Miss Harper. Please don't think of me as Cayden." Feeling annoyed, Emily threw a punch at Prince. Several times she hit the broad chest. However, her anger only overflowed. "Then why did you dare kiss me if you're not Cayden? Why? You like playing with me
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 29. Flirty Guy
"Sorry, I want to be alone. I hope you don't mind to give me space. Thank you," Emily said coldly. Unfortunately, the stranger felt challenged. "Is that why you're traveling alone?" He put his hand on Emily's table. Leaning forward, he played with his eyebrows. "It's rare to find a woman as brave as you, Miss. I salute you." Emily rolled her eyes. She was really lazy to respond to the man. Carrying her tablet and book, she moved to Prince's seat. However, when she was about to reach for her bag, the stranger had already taken her seat. "Hey? Why are you sitting here?" Emily no longer had any respect. Her gaze turned cynical. Instead of feeling guilty, the man rested his chin and watched Emily's face with a faint smile. "Isn't this what you want? You deliberately shifted to give me a place beside you." The corners of Emily's lips twitched in disgust. "Please don't disturb me. I won't hesitate to report you if you keep bothering me." "I'm not bothering. In fact," the man p
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 30. Accepting the Challenge
"Does it hurt? He gripped your wrist so tightly earlier," Prince asked in a very gentle voice. Emily glanced. Prince turned out to be examining her hand carefully. He didn't seem like acting. In another seat, a man was observing them with an envious gaze. His expression was sour, his lips sneered. Suddenly, Prince kissed her wrist. Emily gasped. Her eyes widened. Her heart heated up. She felt Prince stole an opportunity. However, seeing the sincere smile on that handsome face, her scolding was suppressed. "Why don't you just punch him in the face? You said you're good when you fight. Next time, don't just bluff. Just beat up every man who is rude to you. Understand?" Emily blinked back tears. Her lips trembled. The turmoil in her heart had risen again, but she didn't want to discuss it. Their cover could be blown if they got into a fight. "You shouldn't come late, Prince. You shouldn't prepared me a surprise. Just fly with me from the start. That way, I would be happier."
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 31. Not a Paid Boyfriend
After one nod, Jasper went to the elevator. It was clear that he was the hotel owner. Meanwhile, Prince whispered, "Are you sure you want to accept his invitation? He could find out your identity, and if someone recognizes you in the dining room, we could go viral. The whole world could be in an uproar if they find out you have a future husband like me." "Relax. We are in the most geographically isolated country on earth. No one will recognize me. Now the most important thing is to silence that arrogant man. I really don't like it when someone embarrasses me." "He underestimated me. Why are you the one who's embarrassed?" Prince's eyes narrowed. Emily met his gaze with round eyes. "Do you forget? You are playing the role of my future husband. By him insulting you, that means he is insulting my taste. I can't allow that. Before continuing the mission, I need to teach him a lesson." While Prince smiled faintly, Emily patted his arm. "Now let's hurry. We have to have breakfast and t
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 32. Like a Royalty
"I can see it clearly, Miss Beauty. He's not from the upper class. Not even a businessman like us. Even though you've tried to cover him with expensive clothes, he still smells like proverty." Jasper glanced at Prince with a teasing look. Seeing that, Emily's face turned sullen. However, when she was about to speak, Prince interrupted. "Why did you judge me poor, Sir? Was it because of the clothes I wore on the plane?" "It's written on your face. Have you never looked in the mirror? You look lousy and worn out." Prince snorted unexpectedly. "You are not speaking based on facts or data then. That's just your assumption. Why? Is it because you're jealous?" Jasper gasped. "What are you saying?" "I have a flexible life. There is no business that I need to supervise. I can express myself freely. Even though I only rely on royalties, my life is more than enough. It feels meaningful." "Doesn't it mean you're poor?" "Is wealth only measured by money and possessions?" Prince ra

The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 3. The Best Experience
At a height of 186 meters from the road, Emily's eyes lit up. The room she had just entered had glass walls. The view of Auckland city was beautifully displayed behind it. "Welcome to the tallest tower in NZ, Uncle and Auntie. This tower is an icon of Auckland city, built in 1994 with a total height of 328 meters. From this floor, you can enjoy a 360° view of the city. Your dinner will definitely be very romantic and impressive," Summer explained enthusiastically. Emily smiled sweetly. While embracing Cayden's waist, she whispered, "We didn't choose the wrong guide." Then, she looked back at Summer. "Thank you, Little Guide. I really like this place." Summer smiled. A sense of pride filled her heart. While putting her hands on her hips, she nodded firmly. "Then, enjoy your dinner, Auntie. Please take a seat at the table we have prepared especially for you. After you are finished, Mama and I will return." "Where are you going? Aren't you having dinner?" Sky shook her h
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 2. Honeymoon
"Uncle Cayden! Aunt Emily!" Summer greeted as the newlyweds exited the arrival gate. Her hand holding a piece of cardboard swung. Cayden and Emily's names stuck on it were almost scattered in the air. When Emily waved back at her from a distance, the toddler's laughter echoed. Her feet bounced happily. However, seeing how the newlywed walked, her joy turned to surprise. "Oh, Mama? What's wrong with Auntie's legs? Why is she walking like that?" Hearing her daughter's remark, Sky flinched. The curve of her lips froze. "I don't think there's anything wrong with Emily," she denied hesitantly. "No, Mama. Auntie doesn't usually walk like that. She just looks weird. Are her legs still sore from standing so much at her wedding last week? Or maybe, the dress was too heavy, so her legs were tired?" Sky grimaced. "Summer, how about we stop talking about that? Emily is a perfectionist. Her mood will be ruined if she knows someone thinks she's weird. Don't you want to provide the best ho
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 1. The First Night
"My Prince, are you sure you won't regret coming back here, to my family's house? We can still rent a hotel for our first night if you want," Emily whispered as Cayden carried her to their room. Cayden laughed softly. His breath tickled her ear. "Isn't this our house too? What's wrong with coming back here?" "There's nothing wrong. It's just," Emily lowered her head to hide her embarrassment, "my parents and siblings live here too. Is it okay if we do it near their rooms?" "We'll do it in our own room, Emily. They can't peek. Besides, we've discussed this before, right? You don't mind." Cayden secretly felt amused with his wife. Emily winced a little. "Yes, I did. But at that time, I didn't think this far." "How far?" Cayden raised an eyebrow. Now they had arrived upstairs. Seeing their bedroom door, Emily's heart raced. She swallowed hard. "I didn't take into account of the distance between our rooms and the direction of the soundwave. We're only one wall away fro
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 108. Winning in Life
"Be happy in your new life, Emily. Don't cry anymore," Louis whispered. "I'm not a crybaby anymore, Louis," Emily replied. "Really? But you are crying now." Louis checked her eyes. "You're crying too." Louis shook his head. "I'm not crying. My eyes are just exposed to air conditioning." While Emily let out another laugh, a WO staff came over. "Mr. Harper, time for action." Emily was stunned to see the lemon plushie that the staff gave Louis. "Why is Yemon here?" Louis smiled mischievously. "Isn't he your favorite? He would be sad if he missed your special moment. So, he has to play a part too." "What part?" Louis took the ring box out of his pocket. After shaking them for a while, he put both rings into Yemon's secret pocket. "His magic bag always comes in handy," he winked. Emily sighed in disbelief. When Louis put on his sunglasses and went on errands, she could only shake her head in amazement. Her twin brother was always full of surprises. As soon as Louis e
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 107. Emily's Wedding
"What if we fulfill the promise that was postponed?" Emily whispered, making Cayden raise an eyebrow. "You mean NZ?" As Emily nodded, Cayden smiled. He looked at the phone. "Would you mind visiting the glow worms in the cave again, Summer?" he asked. "Uncle and Auntie, do you want to honeymoon in NZ?" Summer's voice grew lighter. Receiving nods from the bride and groom-to-be, laughter filled the air. "I like that option. Uncle and Aunt can take photos with the glowing worms. Then, I will take you to explore the north and south islands. We can do rafting, bungee jumping, hiking. We can do all the fun things together. I mean, you and Uncle Cayden while Mama and I. We'll do it together but separately!" Emily smiled sweetly at the thought of the excitement. "Oh, I can't wait for the honeymoon." "Just get married first, think about the honeymoon later," Sky said, amused. "But, I hope you won't regret choosing Summer as your guide." "Why should they regret, Mama? I am a
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 106. Summer's Condition
When Louis was interrogated, Emily rushed into the car. She couldn't wait to contact Alice via a video call. Her heart had not been calm since the police said that Sky and Summer had missed their flight. "Mrs. Hills?" Her feelings became even more chaotic when she saw Alice in the hospital. "What happened? Where are Sky and Summer? Why didn't they fly here?" Alice smiled slightly. "I'm sorry that my daughter and granddaughter had to cancel their appointment. Something happened earlier, but don't worry. The critical phase is over." Emily gasped. "Who is critical?" "Summer. Someone gave her almond milk at the airport. Her allergies flared up, and her epipen suddenly disappeared. Luckily, Sky took her to the medical room in time. Now she's being treated in the hospital." Emily covered her mouth with one hand. Her chest was tight. Her tears almost spilled. Cayden, who had just gotten into the car, widened his eyes when he saw her. Holding her shoulder, he whispered, "What's wr
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 105. A Hero
"How dare you hurt my future wife?" Cayden rebuked with burning hatred. Seth met Cayden's gaze with sharper eyes. His jaw throbbed. He was furious that none of his plans went smoothly. "Why is fate never on my side? Why?" Desperate, Seth finally pulled a gun out of his pocket. Seeing that, Cayden and Emily gasped. "Hey? Please don't be careless. Your punishment could be heavier if you kill us with a weapon," Cayden said while raising one hand in front of him. Seth's laughter became increasingly sinister. "Do you think I care? What's the difference between killing you with a stick, poison, or a bullet? They're all the same. They all can send you to hell!" Seth pointed a gun at Emily. His finger was ready to pull the trigger. Witnessing that, Cayden swallowed hard. He was too far to protect Emily. Now, he could only hope that Seth would just aim at him. "Do you think it's that easy to send us to hell? We are good people. Even if we die, we will go to heaven. You are the on
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 104. Emily in Action
Cayden jerked his body. He tried to get up from the chair. Unfortunately, the rope that tied him was too strong. "You coward! Your opponent is me, not Emily. Why do you keep involving her in our affairs, huh? Let her go!" Emily could only sigh in pity at her hiding place. Meanwhile, Seth, who had been silent for a while, was now laughing out loud. "Do you think my threats have been a joke all this time? Destroying you is my purpose in life. I will never stop until you get what you should get. Glen ...." Seth glanced at his partner in crime. "Let the show begin." "Okay, Bro." The man in the janitor uniform turned his laptop. Cayden's breath became louder and rougher. Meanwhile, Seth sat on a sofa. He was ready to witness Cayden's anger. His evil smile kept growing until Glen's eyebrows furrowed, and Cayden's face turned confused. "Hey!" Seth exclaimed, his eyes widened. "Is this a paused show? Come on, vent your anger! You don't mind your future wife having fun with ano
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 103. Tied to a Chair
After getting out of the elevator, Emily immediately approached the security guard. She explained the incident briefly, then asked where the CCTV room was. The security team immediately took actions. Several of them secured the impostor. Others started searching the area. The rest escorted Emily to the CCTV room. "How is it?" Emily asked when her patience ran out. The people there were working too slowly. "Sorry, Miss. All the CCTVs on the 3rd floor were off. We checked the CCTVs on the other floors. There was nothing suspicious." "What about the emergency stairs?" "Sorry, Miss. There's no CCTV in that area." Emily grimaced. "What about the parking lot in the basement? You can't possibly leave that area unmonitored, right?" The security guard checked the monitor again. Before he had time to find a clue, his colleague spoke up. "Miss, I found something odd." Emily shifted to another monitor. Two men are pushing a trolley of rubbish. "Could Cayden be inside one of th
