The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 35. Shocking Reality
When she woke up, Emily stared wide-eyed at the round face in front of her. She remembered she had met Sky last night. She also remembered when everything turned dark. But now, why was Sky suddenly young again? "Is this a dream? I'm still asleep?" Blinking weakly, Emily checked the surroundings. She was in a small room. Her body lay on the bed. Her clothes were still the same as last night. Her body size too. So why was Sky any different? "Sky?" she asked quietly. Suddenly, the little girl with curly hair laughed. Her voice was similar to young Sky. "I'm not Sky, but Summer." Emily's eyebrows rose higher. "Summer? The one who accompanied Sky from France? The one who named a dog after me? You're a child?" The little girl nodded cutely. She was in sheep-patterned pajamas. With hands pressing her thighs, she looked adorable. "Yes, that's my name. I was born in winter, but Mama named me Summer. Mama said, I came into this world bringing warmth." She hugged herself. Emily
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 36. Locked in the Darkness
“This is what you found? Cayden has been lying here?” Emily choked with sadness. "That's what I first thought before finally, I discovered something odd." Emily's tears froze. "Something odd?" Sky opened the second page. Pieces of news articles were neatly arranged there. "These are the screenshots I wanted to show you. You know? At the time, it was big news. But in just a few hours, it was all gone." Emily's eyes trembled faintly. She studied the articles one by one. “Quebracha Mourns. A fatal accident has taken the life of their best son.” “Cayden Evans died after being rushed to hospital. Princeton Evans, his younger brother, is currently struggling through a critical phase." "The police are still investigating the cause of the accident. The Evans family suspects it was premeditated murder." Then, Emily's attention turned to a photo of two men who looked similar and familiar. It was like there were two Princes there. She couldn't tell which one was her former bodyg
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 37. Destination and Destiny
"Curly Sheep, don't be naughty! Come on, put on your necklace! I have chosen you to be the leader. You need this so that your friends will obey, and it will be easier for me to recognize you. Curly Sheep!" Summer ran while waving. Her other hand held a rope that had been tied to a bell. Whether because it was afraid of the bell or the little girl's voice, the sheep kept to move away. As a result, the two of them ran in circles in the arena inside the fence. "Summer, stop chasing that poor sheep! Don't you feel sorry for him? He's scared. If he's stressed, his fur will fall out later." Instead of listening, Summer ran even faster. Her laughter tickled all the hearts of those who heard. "No, Mama. That sheep is the future leader of the flock. He must not be afraid of anything. He must be bold and brave. That's why, he must wear a necklace. This is a symbol of his courage. Curly Sheep!" Shaking her head in amusement, Sky finally got up from the chair. She chased her lively li
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 38. Meeting Invitation
Emily took a deep breath. Her eyes couldn't leave the name of the sender of the message. "Is this Prince—I mean Cayden? Since he couldn't tell me in person, he had to contact me via email?" With teary eyes and a heart full of hope, Emily opened the message. As her heart pounded violently, her lungs filled with emotions dominated by joy. Cayden Evans attached a picture. In the body of the text, there was a sentence, "Human interest photography has been my favorite since this picture." "These are clearly Prince's words. Turns out he is Cayden! So what is this? Could it be ...." Emily swallowed hard. With shaking fingers, she downloaded the file. As soon as the image was shown, she quickly covered her mouth. Along with the sigh of laughter, emotion dripped from the corner of her eye. It was a photo of her four-year-old self at the horse farm! A photo taken by Cayden without her knowledge at their first meeting! "He is Cayden! He kept his promise to show me this photo again!
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 39. Prince is a Monster
"W-who are you?" Emily asked in a choked voice. All her nerves tensed. It was as if she was seeing a ghost in front of her. Knowing the girl's fear, the masked man hid in the shadows again. At that moment, Emily could see that he was limping even though he was assisted by a cane. "Did I scare you?" The man looked down. One of his hands rose to ensure that the mask was on properly. "Sorry, I didn't mean that. If only I knew you couldn't see me ...." The man sighed heavily. "I shouldn't have kept my promise to see you." Emily blinked confusedly. Her eyes refused to look away from him. "You sent me that email? You ... are Cayden?" The man pointed his index finger. Instead of answering, he went in and came back with a rather large box that looked heavy. "What's that?" Emily asked worriedly. "You've taken the trouble to come here. It would be a shame if your trip was in vain. So, even though you don't want to talk to me, please accept this." Emily didn't dare move. She didn
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 40. The Real Cayden Evans
The longer Emily thought about Prince, the more thorns grew in her heart. When she couldn't stand the pain, her hand rose to clutch her chest. "But it wasn't like an act. I felt like he was sincere—" "It was just an act, Emily. He's good at it. Otherwise, how could he attract so many girls out there? He's pretending to be me." While Emily was trapped in confusion, Cayden said softly, "The guy who has been with you for the past few days is fake, Emily. He's just trying to fulfill his final mission to destroy my life. He knows how important you are to me. He wants to take you from me, having you completely so that I break." Emily subconsciously shook her head. She still had difficulty digesting the information that was too shocking for her. "No, tell me it's not true." "I speak the truth, Emily. You are my motivation to survive. If you fell in his arms, I can't imagine what my life would be like. I would no longer have a reason to fight." Suddenly, Cayden put a photo on the b
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 41. Where is Emily?
"Cayden Evans?" Summer squinted. Her hands were still on her hips. "I've never heard of that name. Who are you, Cayden Evans?" "I'm a photographer who has known Emily before your mother knew her, but Emily and I have been separated for a long time. Only now can we meet again. I can even be in NZ because I follow her." Summer's lips pursed. Her cheeks puffed up a little. "Where's the proof that you are her friend?" Prince ran to get his camera. He showed a photo of Emily and himself at Mont Saint Michel. Summer observed it carefully. "This guy looks like you," she muttered as she compared. "Eyes, nose, lips. I think this is you. You also look close to Aunt Emily. Okay, now I believe you are her friend." Feeling amused, Prince stroked Summer's head. "Then, could you please call Emily now? I have something important to discuss with her." "Auntie isn't here, Sir. She's away." Prince's eyes widened. The answer was beyond his expectations. "Where is she?" "Auntie said
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 42. He's a Murderer
"Emily ...." Prince looked happy to have found Emily. However, seeing who was standing behind the girl, his face turned sullen. He quickly approached. Unfortunately, the masked man stepped in front of Emily. Pointing his stick at Prince, he shouted, "Don't come any closer!" Then, he glanced slightly over his shoulder. "Don't be afraid, Emily. I will protect you." Prince snorted at that. Tilting his head, looking at the girl peeking behind the enemy, he said softly, "Miss Harper, come here. Get away from him. He's a murderer." Emily's brows furrowed. Again, she was trapped in confusion. Who should she trust? Prince or "Cayden"? "Miss Harper?" Prince's voice touched Emily's heart. After a breath, she finally spoke. "You two, can you just make peace? You're brothers. You shouldn't be enemies." Prince stared wide-eyed at Emily. "You said the two of us are brothers?" "I already know that you're Princeton and he's Cayden." Emily failed to hide her doubts. Her voice w

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
